Chapter Twenty Eight.

"Get off me Brody!" I yell, tears brimming my eyes. I thrash around in his hold, my force doing nothing to slow him down. Brody doesn't react to my outburst at all, he continues staring straight ahead. The only change is that his jaw clenches with frustration.

"Put me down!" I state firmly, my words blunt. I stop struggling and remain still, looking anywhere but at him. My chest is rising and falling heavily, stained cheeks from my heartbreak. Brody continues to walk down the dark empty streets, the only light coming from the street lamps. The air is cold and bitter yet I can barely feel it due to the adrenaline running through my body. My heart is thumping against my chest, threatening to burst through any moment.

Out of nowhere, Brody stops walking and pauses before bending down to place me back onto the ground. I swallow the lump in my throat, grateful to feel the floor under my feet once again.
