Chapter 38: Not a Misunderstanding

Rory’s POV

I wasn’t sure what to do initially, but when Eva screamed and started coming toward me again, I scrambled to my feet and punched her square in the jaw. For a moment I felt like I had broken my fingers, but the adrenaline rushing through me took away that feeling fast.

Eva stumbled backward but caught the back of my hair before I could get away.

“Let go, bitch,” I cried out, reaching back and trying to peel off her fingers.

I turned and kicked as hard as I could. I wasn’t sure where I hit her, but Eva let go and fell to the floor. I started running but she grabbed my ankle and pulled me back down.

I hit my chin hard on the ground, rolled over, and kicked up into her stomach. I scrambled to my feet and raced away from her back into the hall.
