How could I have been so stupid? I had to be careful today. I never should've let her get on that bus. I should've forced her into my car, even if I had to bound and gag her. She would've hated me, but at least she would've been safe.
"Ash, are you okay?" Ms. Roland's concerned, honey-sweet voice brought me back to reality.
"Abby was on that bus." Breathing became harder to do as moisture gathered in the corners of my eyes. "Is she okay? Oh God, please tell me she's okay."
"I'm sorry, but none of us know the full extent of the injuries. Another bus has been sent to pick up the students who didn't need medical treatment."
"When will it get here?"
