I Got Angry

Vale inhales a large intake of breath.

“Did Caleb tell you that Keith and I were going somewhere after the dinner?” she stared ahead at the dark road that was illuminated by the car’s headlight.

“Yeah.” he nodded.

“Well, we kind of go to this park, and I asked him about what happened today. Somehow, We fell into a quarrel, and I demanded to go back. He said we’re not going back until we mend the problems. I...I got angry...at him...”

Vale gulped, “I shouted at him, hit him. Keith was trying to calm me down, but I thrashed on his hold. A bullet darts and scraped my shoulder. The bullet came from Keith’s back.” she explained.

She holds the steering wheel tightly as her knuckles turned white.

She was thankful...that it was only one bullet. One freaking shot that almost took Keith’s life.

“We hurried back to the mansion. It was only one bullet. But, there’s no firing sound. I think it was a silencer.”
