CHAPTER 55.

　　~Avery~

　　My eyes never left his. I couldn't lift my hand, I couldn't tell if it was fear or pain, or maybe the pain medication that made me immobile.

　　Chase took a step forward and I pushed myself down onto the mattress.

　　Warning clocks rang in my head and my breathing picked up speed rapidly.

　　”Calm down,” He said softly and reached out with one hand while the other was held up in the air.

　　He grabbed the glass and slowly brought I to me, the straw touched against my lips and his other hand came around my head as he lifted it up so that I could drink.

　　I took small sips, every gulp of water hurt more than the other but I felt how it eased my dry throat.

　　He removed his hand and my head fell down on the mattress slowly.

　　Why was he so caring?

　　”Are you here to kill me?” I asked him quietly.

　　I should've screamed, I should've woken up Alex and James but I couldn’t, I didn’t. I wanted answers.

　　He was, after all, my brother.
