Fool Me Twice

"Jordan, Jordy..." Arthur shook his head and put his hands inside his trouser pockets. His eyes unwaveringly looked at Jordan and he didn't even look at the woman weeping pitifully. "You should have listened to me and took a cab. And now.. ?"

His steady voice, smooth and yet menacing made Jordan shudder. He tried to speak,but his voice didn't come out as if he had cotton stuffed up in his throat. His chest felt heavy and he couldn't breath properly and he gasped and the cold air rushed in his lungs hurting his chest more. His brain stopped functioning; the tip of his fingers felt tingly like it got dipped in acid and that stingy feeling passed throughout his body, making him tremble. He felt like someone had yanked his soul out of his body, leaving only a husk of himself.

She did it again!

The whole parking echoed the pitiful sniffles of the woman shaking with her shoulders scrunched and with her hands covering her face, she was softly mumbling amd pleading.
