forty: from you

CHAPTER FORTY:

| emma’s pov |

I couldn’t take it anymore. I’m going to read it. I don’t even care what happens to me.

Tearing the envelope to get the paper inside, I took a deep breath before starting to read. Unlike the letters Luke gave me, this one was neater, by a mile away. It was as if he didn’t write this at all. 

Dear Tabitha,

I’m sorry. 

I didn’t want to do it, but I did.

I killed you.

Now, you won’t let me be.

But I don’t care anymore.

I killed everyone else, did you know that?

I killed Emily, Riley, Caitlin, Holly, Peter, Rebecca, Cameron.

All of them.

And now, they’re after me, too.

You protected me from them, right?

Thank you for that.

But now, all I need protection from

is you.
