“There’s a clinic a buddy I know has an interest in. He owes me a big favor. The clinic is very secluded, and privacy is what they pride themselves on. Leave it to me, okay?” I turn around and watch as Dad walks out of the room, Mom right behind him.

Stace leans over and gives me a kiss, her face wincing in pain. “Thanks for this, Sax. I know submitting to the monster is a hard thing to do, but you need help. I’m so scared for you.” Her blue eyes fill with tears, which she quickly wipes away.
“I’m the one who’s sorry,” I whisper, my voice hoarse. “I should never have gotten in that car. I knew I wasn’t okay to drive but I did it anyway. I could’ve killed you, and Kara…” My voice trails off. God, I can’t even finish the sentence. I’ve ruined her life. I might as well have killed her.
“She’ll forgive you,” Stace whispers.
“But I’ll never forgive myself.”
