Chapter 21

• Showing Aria into my room and giving her my shirt to use since she wanted a shower and had no extra clothes here and also because we couldn’t go shop for any new clothes for now, I headed out and into Nicole’s room.
• Nicole was sitting on her bed with her Mac book opened before her. She was dressed in a T-shirt which I recognized as her twin’s cloth, a small pang hooked in my chest at the reminder of my missing brother, making me promise him I was coming for him in my head.
• “Hey Nicoleeeeeeee,” I greeted as I closed the door gently behind me and made my way towards her bed. She stretched out her good arm and I pulled her into a hug the minute my butt hit her bed. She burrowed into the hug more, her right hand squeezing my sides tight which made me feel bad that she got shot at all over again, you wait until I catch those bastards. I stifled a groan when her body rested on my wounded arm too much, not wanting to cause her alarm.
