Chapter 8
Casually Cruel
“Sica..” She hears her Mom’s voice, ever so soft and gentle.
Jessica’s eyes flutter open slowly, taking a moment to adjust to the unnatural brightness. For a second she has no idea where she is, her head is spinning and her body feels like burning.
“M..mom?” She holds her Mom’s hand, its cold.
“You have high fever, Sica. Doctor said you almost got pneumonia. What were you doing outside the house at midnight?” Her Dad asks softly, his face is full of concern and worry.
