{KAYLA KING}
I burst through the door of Elliot and Ethan's house, everything around me feeling suffocating. My vision is so blurry I think I hit a wall before I can right myself.
"Kay!" The feminine gasp grabs my attention, and the small form hurrying toward me leaves no doubt that it's Jade. "Elliot, Ethan!" she screams to the rest of the house. "Come here!"
I feel myself swaying, and two arms catch me at the waist. "No shouting," I rasp. "My head is…" I don't even bother finishing my sentence, my words too mumbled anyway.
"Holy shit." Elliot's worried voice annoys me. I'm not that bad, am I? "Kay, what happened? Where were you?"
Jade's arms are replaced by his. "I'm fine." I try to shrug him off, but the step I take on my own is a failure, and I'm starting to fall when he catches me again.
"You say you're fine because you can't see your fucking face," Elliot bites back. "Let me carry you."
I snort, shaking my head. "What am I? A damsel in distress or something?"
