I thank her and walk down the hall, shaking and sick to my stomach. When I enter the waiting room, Axel is there, standing in the corner by a vending machine.
He’s talking to the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.
She’s Asian. Everything about her is perfect. Face, hair, figure. Wearing a simple black sheath, she’s got her arms wrapped around her body as if for protection from something.

Kiyoko.
Cole’s ex.

“Hullo, luv.”
My eyes fill with tears. “What happened to miss?”
His smile is faint. “Miss went out the window when Cole decided to lose his mind over you. How are you?”
My lower lip quivers
