Chapter 80 What I Deserve

• Slade jumped out as soon as the cars stopped, having sat as far away from me as he possibly could. I opened my door and by the time I jumped off he was already up the steps. I rushed after, afraid he would lock me out to die in the cold.
• All the courage was gone, vanished away.
• He marched through the door and I followed after. The door shut and locked after me. By the time I turned, Slade was eating up the stairs two at a time. Run? Hide? When he was far enough I ran up the stairs and slid into my room. I shut the door and leaned on it, listening. He was in his room. For two full minutes nothing happened so I let out a breath and rushed to the bathroom. I stared at myself in the mirror and I looked a mess, tear stains down my face, red crazy eyes. My head was pounding and a jumble of thoughts.
