CARISSA’S POV I’m sitting on the edge of the bed. My hands shake as I stare at the empty space beside me. The bed feels colder without them. Without Jaime and Kaine. They moved out of our room. I try to swallow the lump in my throat, but it’s hard. Everything feels like it’s falling apart, and I can’t even catch my breath. I never thought this would happen. Not in a million years. Amy, my best friend—she did this to me. She set me up. She manipulated everything, twisted it. I still don’t understand it. I don’t understand how she could betray me like this. How could she do this to us? The tears come, like they always do now, and I hate how weak I feel. I can’t seem to stop them. Each tear feels like a nail driven into my heart. The more I think about it, the more I want to scream. Amy ha
