If you leave without me, I’ll just follow you. You can’t stop me, Cassie. How are you going to stop me?” I shrug helplessly, fighting back tears. “Shoot you, I guess.”“ Like you shot the Crucifix Soldier?”The words hit me like a bullet between the shoulder blades. I whirl around and fling open the door. He flinches, but stands his ground.“ How do you know about him?” Of course, there’s only one way he could know. “You read my diary.”“ I didn’t think you were going to live.”“ Sorry to disappoint you.”“ I guess I wanted to know what happened–”“ You’re lucky I left the gun downstairs or I would shoot you right now. Do you know how creepy that makes me feel, knowing you read that? How much did you read?” He lowers his eyes. A warm red blush spreads across his cheeks.“ You read all of it, didn’t you?” I’m totally embarrassed. I feel violated and ashamed. It’s ten times worse than when I first woke up in Val’s bed and realized he had seen me naked. That was just my body. This was my soul. I punch him in the stomach. There’s no give at all; it’s like I hit a slab of concrete.“ I can’t believe you, ” I shout. “You sat there–just sat there–while I lied about Ben Parish. You knew the truth and you just sat there and let me lie! . Rick Yancey
