~CHAPTER 41~
Bang!
The loud sound shattered the silence, jolting me upright from my slumber. My heart racing, I rubbed the sleep from my eyes, gazing towards the door.
The sudden noise had startled Aria too, and she muttered a soft "Shit! Two weeks already?" under her breath. She sprang to her feet, her movements urgent.
She cautiously approached her room door, her eyes fixed on the door as if anticipating another loud bang and it came rapidly.
Quickly, I followed closely behind her, my senses on high alert. What was that loud sound?
The banging persisted, rapid and insistent. Someone was pounding on the front door with their fists.
I mistakingly bumped into Aria's shoulder while she was slowly turning the handle of her room door, her eyes fixed on the gap between the door and the frame as she tried to peek into the living room.
