Chapter 40: Escape

Once Nolan left, James finally looked at Avery. Avery gulped nervously as she stared back at him. There was a strong heavy silence between them that Becky couldn't bear it. Well, bye. Becky said and left. Before Avery could say anything, James grabbed her wrist and took her away. James was driving like a bullet on the high way.

Avery didn't know what to say. She didn't know if she should talk or stay mute. But the urge to talk was biting her from within. And without waiting for him to give her permission to talk , she opened her mouth to talk.

He is mh longtime friend. She said but James didn't answer her as he drove straight home. Upon reaching home, James got down from the car and went to the other side of the car as he dragged Avery out.

He took her inside as Avery held her breath.

Why aren't you talking? Avery asked as she stared at him.
