Book Cover & Preview Text
When they arrived, they found Megan hiding near her car. The drug dealers were nowhere in sight. The girls grabbed what they could from the car and sped off leaving Megan’s car behind.
Megan was mentally out of it again and needed help. Lizzie didn’t know if it was fear, drugs or alcohol that was making her act so strange. She decided the best thing to do was to call Connie and tell her Megan seemed to be out of her mind. Connie called friends in the medical field trying to find a place that could help Megan. She was referred to a rehab center in the country.
Desperate to help her sister, Lizzie and her friend began the hour and a half drive to get her to the facility so she could be examined and receive help. Megan was furious and was determined to escape. They were in the middle of nowhere when at the first opportunity Megan jumped out of the car and ran off. It was winter, 20 degrees outside, and all she had with her was what she was wearing and her cell phone. Her attire did not include a coat.
Lizzie was worried about Megan freezing but couldn’t find her. After an hour of driving around she gave up and came home.
