Stranger

Chapter 28

Brent's POV

I walk from Cam's car to a front door that makes me nervous. What could be so important that Hayes couldn't wait for me to see? But it's about Nash so it will definetly be worth it.

Hayes answers the door and pulls me in while putting a finger to his lips. Why do I have to be quiet? I am so confused. He starts up the grand staircase and motions for me to follow still making the silent gesture for me to be quiet.

Hayes walking down a hallway towards a closed door while I still follow him. He turns toward me and a guilty look washes over his face. Hayes opens the door to reveal Nash and a girl kissing. I squint and realize that the girl he is kissing is so familar. I would be able to tell who she was anywhere. My body heats up but I don't feel jealous or sad, just completely confused.

There is one question that I need the answer to right now. Why is my girlfriend kissing someone who tried to rape her?

Amelia's POV

The door to Nash's room opens and I cannot believe my eyes when I see who opened it.

"Hey." I state calmly. Brent has no expression and it worries and relieves me at the same time. I go up to him and wrap my arms around me.

He leans down and clenches his teeth as he says "I want to walk away now but I need answers"

I look into his eyes and pain has taken over. This pain he is expressing could easily be mitaken for anger but the fact that his eyes are teary give him away.

"And I can give you answers." I say softly and notice that the salty taste in my mouth is the tears I hadn't felt come.
