Chapter 295 - I care

Eric's heart pounded as he reached for the back door, the cold handle under his palm. I have to go. I have to find him. The thought ran through his mind over and over like a broken record, his chest tight with the weight of it. He cursed under his breath, frustration and guilt gnawing at him. We shouldn't have fought. I should have been with him.

But the argument... Eric shook his head, trying to push the memory away. It was just a stupid fight. He knows I didn't mean half the things I said. Still, the bitterness of it lingered, mixing with his growing panic.

Just as he was about to yank the door open, a hand clamped down hard on his shoulder.

"Going somewhere?" Mark's voice was steady, but there was a warning in it. Eric barely registered the words—his mind was only on Kai. He spun around, shoving Mark off with a rough push, more frantic than forceful.
