Always Together✔️

Chapter: 37

I glare back at him, not appreciating his hard stare directed towards me.

Struggling against his hold, I try to free my elbow, only for him to tighten his hold to the point that I start to feel a numbness spreading in my arm. But this doesn't stop me from attempting to free myself. He doesn't seem bothered by my struggle, as his cold gaze his fixated on me. 

My attention shifts to the ground when I hear Maddox groan, my leg shoots out in his direction as I kick him in his ribs with all my force which I can manage in my restraint form. 

Alec jaws tick in anger, as he starts dragging me along with him. I put my full weight in the opposite direction, but it doesn't stop him as he easily drags me with him.

"Remove him from here." He nods his head at Maddox, as he orders someone while dragging me.

Glancing at Kris, I find Jake holding her while she is pushing him away and trying to reach to me. Her eyes widen in fear, as she looks at me. I manage to give her a smile, in a reassuring manner. 

Jake whispers something in her ear, then looks at me offering me a small smile although his eyes held apprehension. Maybe they are worried about me.

Of course, Alec, will not hurt me. But I can't promise about myself.

My gaze moves around and then I see a small audience, expressions ranging from stunned to impressed. When I find the same boy whom I have asked to call Jake, he discreetly winks at me with thumbs up, but not discreet enough to go unnoticed by Alec. Whatever, look Alec has given that poor guy, make him swallow hard in fear as he looks like he wants to hide somewhere and never come out.

Alec pulls me into an empty room and locks it. Then he releases my elbow and takes a few steps away from me. Turning around he crosses his arms as he looks down at me as anger flares in his eyes.

"Open this door right, now," I say pointing at the door behind me, as I glare back at him with the same anger.

"Alec, open this door and let me go out. I am not in a mood to joke," I grit my teeth, and ask again when he doesn't show any sign of letting me out.

"Why? So you can go out and prove how fucking badass you are?" His voice raises making me flinch at the sudden harshness of his tone.

"Huh?" Confusion replaces anger, as I look at him.

"Don't you dare try to look like you don't understand what I am saying?" He scoffs.

I haven't seen Alec like this, so to say I am shocked is a complete understatement. 

"Alec, I really don't know what are you talking about," I say slowly trying to make him understand, that I literally don't have any idea what is going on in his mind.

"What were you trying to prove out there?" He uncrosses his arms and let them fall on his side.

"I was not trying to prove anything."

"Really?" He arches an eyebrow, sarcastically.  "Because it seemed like that you were showing how cool and brave you are to face a crazy man with a gun, all by yourself when you could have waited for someone to come and handle the situation a little more maturely. Instead of trying to become a hero and save the day."

"Do you think all this is a joke? He aimed his gun at you and you were asking him to fucking shoot you," he shouts in anger, "Who do you think you are? And what is this? Some freaking action movie, where you will live after getting a bullet in your body?" 

"Stop with this nonsense, Avery. Open your eyes, this is real life people die and get hurt because of being reckless. For once try to use your mind logically." He holds my shoulders and shakes me slightly while his harsh tone taking everything in me not to flinch again, "You could have got yourself killed or your stupidity could have cost Kris her life."
