Wyngs sunk to the floor. She felt like she had been killed all over again. As hard as she tried, she couldn't tell River why Jed was actually there.<br/>The truth was there in a bumpy, disgusting scar, marring the space above her heart. She brushed her fingers across it. The shiver that ran through her body was not the good kind. She tugged the collar of her shirt down. She glanced in the mirror and felt tears prick her eyes. She slowly turned away from her mirror and toward the window. She watched as Riv climbed the old oak tree and settled into the lowest branches. She let go of her shirt and ran to her moms room.<br/>She crawled into her bed and snuggled into her mothers back. "What am I supposed to do mom? I can't tell him who Jed is. He'll kill me. He won't understand."<br/>"Tell him. Just tell him, how do you think he can go on trusting you, if you don't tell him the truth." The smooth roughness of her voice seemed to sooth Wyngs already grating nerves. She nuzzled her mothers shoulder.<br/>"Mom, how am I going to do that? He probably thinks I was kissing Jed when I wasn't. I just, I don't remember what happened."
