Helpless

Chapter 4

Months had passed since the mall incident. Brandon was locked up for the next few months. I finally started to feel normal again.

I looked up from my phone and saw Michael Wardlow, the same guy that now 5 minutes ago the girls were attempting to set me up with.

"I don't mind,"

He smiles, and sits down next to me. My heart started racing. I could feel Myself starting to get anxious. There was no way that I was falling for him. I couldn't
