Adea
The elevator ride was awkward the rest of the way up as Leo and I stared at each other. Leo didn’t say anything to my request and I was starting to think he was going to mind-link Ethan. I waited in bated breath until he finally decided to nod.
A blanket of relief washed over me knowing I wouldn’t add more to Ethan’s worries. I left Leo at the door as I went into my room to get dressed. With him locked out, I made my way deeper into the room. My breathing sped up with each step.
It wasn’t until the bathroom door was locked behind me that the tears began to run down my cheeks. As soon as the shower was turned out, I gave myself over to panic and worry. In these few minutes, I let myself cry and scream. I felt cornered, I felt trapped knowing I had no choice but to face the boy that made my life more than difficult.
