God help Quote by Thea Hayworth
““Though it turned my stomach, I stumbled back inside the moment they were overtaken, sparing one last desperate glance Ben’s way before slamming the door shut. I hoped he could read the apology on my face and that he wouldn’t think any less of me than I already did of myself, but God help me, I wasn’t ready to die.””
