Chapter 50: Jailbreak

[Lily]

Stunned, I sit for a moment, staring at Nyx’s number before answering.

“Hello?”

“LILY!!!!!!!” I pull the phone away from my ear as she chatters nonstop about how much she misses me and loves me and my ears hurt so badly I almost miss the important part.

"You're where?" I ask as she takes a brief moment to breathe. "Did you just say you are outside?"

"Yes!" I almost start laughing as I imagine her bouncing up and down outside. "OMG OMG OMG I found you!"

I carefully pull myself off the floor and explain my situation. Nyx sends me a text of instructions on how to get to the back door through the kitchen with a note that she'll meet me there.

Hobbling on my crutches, I consider my options. I can return to the awkward meeting with the other Legacies where I have to answer questions about my wet and dirty dress, sit next across from Evie, who now wants me out of her way by any means necessary, and next to Atticus, who can't look me in the eye but is defending me against his friends
