Elijah's pov ;
Ash pushed me away, his eyes filled with fear and betrayal. Before I could say another word, he ran into the bathroom and slammed the door shut. I immediately followed, banging on the door, "Ash, open the door! Please, just talk to me!"
But there was only silence from the other side.
My mind raced as I stood there, helpless. Everything was beginning to make sense to him now, I could see it in his eyes before he shut himself away. My past actions—the coldness, the distance, the rage—it was all falling into place for him. My revenge, my hatred, all of it was connected to that night, to the accident that took my parents away from me.
And now, I could see that he believed he was the one responsible.
"Ash, please! Let me explain!" I shouted, my voice shaking. But there was no response.
