concentrating on Erin. She had to keep Erin safe.
    “Where are you?”
    “Nathan’s house.”
    “You’ve got to be kidding me. What the hell do you think you’re doing? Are you mad?”
    “Probably.”
    “What’s the address? I’ll get one of my brothers to pick you up.”
    “Erin. I’m fine. I’m going to hang out with Nathan today.”
    “But you don’t even know him. For all you know he could be a serial killer.”
    Alyssa started to laugh. She tried hard to stop, but it seemed impossible. Tears streamed down her cheeks and she tried to convince herself it was from laughter.
    “Allie? You okay? You sound…. I don’t know. You’re not in some kind of trouble are you?”
    “Sorry. But it was just… so funny.” Alyssa forced herself to stop laughing by reminding herself Erin needed to be kept safe. “Did you say anything to my parents about… last night?”
    “Nearly. But, well… I didn’t want to get you into more trouble. I didn’t know what to do. I mean you just hopped in the car. And then you weren’t at the party. You should have called me.”
    “I’m sorry.”
    “Yeah well, don’t you ever do that to me again.”
    “Look, I’ve got to go. I’ll give you a call later.”
    “Make sure you do. I’ve been so worried about you. Call me every hour so I know you’re alive.”
    “Really, Erin. That’s overkill. It’s something my parents’d say. I’ll call you later when I get a few minutes. We’ve got things we’re planning to do.”
    “Like what?”
    “I’ll tell you everything when I see you next.”
    “Promise?”
    “Yeah, Erin. I promise. After all, you’re my best friend. And isn’t that what best friends do?”
    “Aww, don’t go getting mushy on me.”
    “Talk to you later.”
    “Okay.”
    Alyssa hung up and let her hand drop into her lap. Her eyes stayed closed and she didn’t have a clue if Nathan stood there watching her. Her cheeks were damp with tears and her throat ached with trying to hold the rest of them back. Something nudged her leg and her eyes flew open. It was Nathan’s boot. Her eyes travelled up the black denim that covered his legs and stopped at the dark green shirt he wore. She couldn’t bring herself to look at his face. To look into his eyes. If they were filled with amusement she knew she’d be tempted to strike him. Well, she would if she could figure out how to make her body move.
    “Back to the room now. Before I drag you.”
    “Drag me then,” Alyssa muttered.
    “Then don’t bother asking to use the bathroom again,” Nathan warned.
    “Bastard!” She tried to struggle to her feet. She closed her eyes tight for a second before she opened them again. This time she met Nathan’s eyes, her hand held out towards him. “Help me up.” It took an effort. Nearly a minute before she could bring herself to mutter, “Please.”
    He made her wait long enough she began to think he wouldn’t bother. She was about to put her hand down when he grabbed it and dragged her to her feet. She swayed as she held tightly to his hand. It was a lifeline. A reluctant one. But she was even more reluctant to fall flat on her face. As soon as she was steady, she let go of his hand and walked back to her prison. Her phone was clutched tightly, her knuckles white from the pressure.
    Alyssa paused in the doorway, her eyes drawn to the bed. She looked at the armchair. That was her only option. She couldn’t bring herself to go anywhere near the bed. As soon as she reached the chair, she collapsed into it.
    “Back on the bed. I can’t chain you to the chair.” Nathan stood in the doorway.
    “I-” Alyssa stopped speaking the moment she looked into his eyes. Pleading would be a waste of breath.
    “And your phone. Hand it over. You can keep the rest of your junk.”
    Alyssa glanced to where she’d left her handbag on the bed and noticed the contents had been dumped out. Anger surged through her and brought her to her feet. “How dare you-” she broke off
