Dust felt immersed in a blanket of stillness. The clouds were alive with flashings of light, but for now, the wind had stilled. Passing by are some cars, splashing water.

I drive through the damp lanes, the windshield wipers running back and forth to clean the windshield. Bucket- ing down, as if someone has pushed the buckets full of water. People run to subsist in the shed, the clouds roar again. It's getting hard for me to drive, as my vision is getting dimmed.
The streets are empty with no cars passing by, my car comes to halt.

Dammit

Getting out as quickly as possible, while my one hand is on my head like it's going to stop the rain. I lose the bonnet and check the water, everything seems to be fine except for the cooling system.

Fuck

It's hot as fuck

" Woah watch out ". I screeched, while I was busy checking the bonnet, someone has bumped into my back.
I turn around to see who the fuck-.

" God - Avery ".

I look at her, she is covered in a black hoodie shivering. I touch her to feel her under my bare fingertips, It feels like I will just wake up and she will be gone. Even if it's a dream, I don't wanna wake up.

I cup her face and make her look at me. She looks up at me, her navy blue orbs are glistening while her lips tremble with fear, the pink color has gone away replaced by white. Without thinking, I pull her in my arms, I need to feel her even if it's a dream. I have missed her so fucking much. She pulls away after a while, gazing behind her she grips my hand, strides towards Alley, I jog with her to the dark alley. It's the place where the restaurants wash their dishes as a whole set of dirty dishes are piled up at the corner, scrunching my nose in disgust, I look at her, her hands are clutching my wet shirt tightly pushing me closer.

God, I am going insane

It's already dark while the rain is gushing down on us, I feel like a bird looking at her from the sky. I bend down my head on hers to make a shed, so the rain wouldn't drench her. She glances up at me, still shivering while her lips trembling. The guilt consumes me, what I did to her.

" I am so sorry, I shouldn't have left you with him ". I whisper sincerely. But she doesn't say anything she just stares.

Fuck

Her hand on my chest ain't helping, I know she can feel my heart going insane. " you forgot the deal? ". I smirk at her. Cupping her face, her face feels so small in my big hands. I press a kiss on her forehead. Her navy blue orbs bore into mine, as I trace my fingers on her lips. The longing inside me comes out like a flood and before I know it I press my lips against her.

Shaking, my head I move back away from her, she opens her eyes and looks at me gone far away. I pull myself, up.

I can't do this to her

" Eric I - " she shrieks, but before she could. Collapses down on the ground, I run towards her. Picking her up in my arms and ran as fast as I could to my parked car. Placing her on the backseat gently, I start the ignition.

My heart rate speeds up again, baffling my hair, I look at her lying in the back seat unconscious. The vision is still blurred, but I need to take her home.

Home? I can't take her there

I reverse back in the direction of my penthouse. It's at the back of Rayce's house, we built it up when we were small to play hide and seek. Growing up we kept renovating it. It's filled up with all the necessary items.

I place her on the bed, sprinkling some water on her face. I checked her breathes before, God she was breathing. She twinkle her eyes open looking around, I let her do that while I crouch near her on the couch. I pass her the glass of water and some sleeping pills so that she can sleep peacefully. Gulping them, she lay back down on the bed and nearly fall asleep.

Crouching next to her, I felt at ease. No, I won't sleep beside her. I would lay down on the bed in the next room, but what if she needs something? Signing, I fold my legs up and tilt my head on the wall, trying to fall asleep on the small couch.

I gaze at her, she is a blondie with pink cheeks glowing in the moonlight on her face but she doesn't mind it. My eyes narrow towards her lips, how much I wanted to kiss them. But I can't do that.

Not with her

She would be the last girl, I would play with.

My gaze flickers to a black bruise near her lips, I go near her to see it more carefully. Not only there is a bruise near her lips, but a scratch on her face.

Goddamit

My blood boils inside me, clenching my fists tightly. I want to break something.

Who did this to her?

Whoever did, I will make sure to make him wish, he was never born!.

How can someone do this to her? A soul likes her.

I leave her there lying on my bed. I need to take out my anger, tottering downstairs towards the kitchen. I pour myself a glass of water, gulping it down my throat to calm myself. I clutch it tight between my fists and soon it breaks down with a thud, causing a pool of blood to surge.

I walk to the nearby sink, & wash it thoroughly. Taking the bandage from the medical box, I drop few things here and there. Fortunately, I was able to take it out but before I could tie it.

She appears out of nowhere and approaches me. I stare at her while she does my bandage carefully and neatly as I would break.
