Zack's hand slammed against the door with a force that made it rattle. "Rose…Open the door." His second knock was louder, almost desperate.
Bella inhaled deeply, trying to compose herself. She moved toward the door. When she opened it, her eyes met his, filled with a mix of frustration and confusion. "What is it? Why are you banging on the door?" she demanded with annoyance.
Zack's hand shot out, grabbing her arm firmly. "You said you'd sleep, but I heard you moving around the room. What were you doing?"
Bella jerked her arm, trying to free herself, but his grip only tightened. The pressure was sharp, and she winced. "You are hurting me," she gasped, the pain seeping through her words.
"Are you lying now?" he growled.
The sting of his words cut through her frustration, but Bella gathered her strength and shoved him away with as much force as she could muster.
