Chapter Twenty Seven

Austin's POV:

All I could feel was anger and pain, coursing through my body. I've never felt so much anguish and it was like the air was knocked out of my lungs on seeing her.

Claire.

I opened the door to our room, taking a swing from the bottle, hoping it would numb my feelings. I heard footsteps behind me and knew it was, Emma. Fuck, I didn't want her to see me like this but at the same time, I needed her. I needed her like the air I breathed and just wanted to hug her so badly. I heard the door shut behind me and I threw the bottle against the wall, making her jerk. I just couldn't control myself. I held my head as it hurt so badly and fell to the ground, wanting to scream out loud. I thought she would run away, seeing me in this state but she removed her heels and kneeled to my level, hugging me from behind.
