~Emily’s POV~
I’m not letting go of Andy that easily. Maybe Olivia would give him up, but I wouldn’t.

I tracked Amelia down online and sent her a message. I’d even tried to reach her at her college but they wouldn’t tell me whether she’d been in class or not, she wasn’t answering her phone and she hadn’t posted anything anywhere in days.

Olivia, however had snapped a selfie with an eye roll emoji and a background that resembled the crags that Andy used to hike with CC. Why would Olivia take a break from standing faithfully at Amelia’s bedside and hike some wicked rocks at 6 in the morning?

“Andy listen.” I called him despite the whole –give him space- thing.

“Emily. Hey.” He answered quietly.

“I know he's driving but I need to talk to Chris.” I tried.

“He’s not driving right now.” Andy said quietly. I didn’t hear the car at all but that wasn’t important.

“Emilyyyy.” Chris said quietly.

“Olivia posted a video online, does this sound like Amelia’s voice?” I played the clip. When silence followed I replayed it.

“When was that?” Chris’ tone changed immediately.

“Just before 6 this morning.” I said quietly.

“Where are they?” His voice became frantic.

“Olivia’s hiking the crags.” I said.

“Why would Olivia tell you that Amelia was in a coma then take her hiking to the crags?” Chris reflected.

“Oh no. No no no no.” Andy said in the background. “She wouldn’t do that to Amelia…” Andy said angrily.

She would.
