#Chapter24

|Present|

Finally we reached our neighborhood. Hunter still hadn't said a word to me. I knew he was mad. I could tell from the way his jaw was clenched and the way his grey eyes had darkened to almost black.

Without even looking my way he turned towards his house.

I knew I couldn't let him leave like that.

I grabbed his arm and thankfully he stopped.

/"Thank you for saving me./" I told him truthfully.

My eyes wandered from his bruised knuckles to his bleeding lip.

He was hurt.

Because of me.

I could feel the guilt piercing through my chest.

His face hardened, his eyes flashed angrily causing me to drop his hand. I watched silently as he walked inside his house and banged the door shut.

I should go home.

I should leave. He's made it clear that he wants me to go.

But for some reason I couldn't. I couldn't leave him.
