Chapter 76

• ~LILY'S POV~
• That night, when we made camp, I watched Sarah and Theo talk and laugh together. They had inside jokes and shared looks that made me feel a little left out. I used to be really close with Sarah, I mean she still is my best friend, but now it seemed like she found more comfort and connection with Theo. They understood each other in a way that I didn't understand. I wanted to be happy for them, but part of me felt jealous and left behind.
• It was very hard to scale through that night. As I laid under the stars, I couldn't stop thinking about Adrian. I missed him so much. His absence felt like a big hole in my heart. I couldn't forget the image of him hurt and weak. It made me even more anxious to find a way to save him. I had promised to and I would.
