SHADOW AND BLOOD: THE PRICE OF LOVING YOU CHAPTER THIRTY - ONE
NICK WALKER ©I couldn't stop thinking about Enzo. He had cared enough to drop me off yesterday.He also apologized for what he said that night. And for some reason, I felt more comforted by his apology than I wanted to admit.My gaze drifted to his coat hanging outside to dry.I remembered the way he had taken it off and hung it around my shoulders.“Are you blushing?” Avery's voice made me jump and I quickly turned toward the doorway.I hadn't even noticed when she arrived. I quickly gathered the books scattered across the table and shoved them into my bag.“When did you get here?” I asked as I moved around the room, making sure everything was in place before we left for school.Avery dropped onto the sofa with a grin.“Since the moment I caught you lost in your thoughts and blushing to yourself.”“What do you mean?” I asked. “I wasn't blushing.”Just then, Mira walked out of her room. She was already dressed for school, and a huge smile on her face stretched from ear to ear.Ever

LORENZO GRAYSON\VADIM KERZHAKOV ©Winter had already set in and the air outside was cold.It cut through my coat as I stood by the car, my back resting against it.I looked up at the clear night sky and for a moment, my thoughts drifted to my mother.I pulled my hands out of my pockets and reached into my coat, took out a cigar, and lit it.All of a sudden, a light drizzle suddenly began to fall.I dropped the cigar to the ground and crushed it beneath my shoe.I was about to head back inside the bar when I noticed Nick leaving through the front entrance.His shift must have ended.Before I could think much about it, the drizzle turned into a downpour.I quickly got into my car before I got soaked and glanced at the dashboard clock.It was almost midnight.Then Kyle's words echoed in my mind.“...he works hard every day, trying to take care of his little sister.”Through the rain-covered windshield, I watched Nick. He held his bag over his head as he hurried back under the shelter of

LORENZO GRAYSON\VADIM KERZHAKOV ©“What was that about?” Alina asked as she closed the office door behind her.I pinched the bridge of my nose and let out a tired sigh.I couldn't even bring myself to hit him. All I managed to do was throw him out of my office.“It's nothing serious,” I said, walking over and dropping onto the couch. “The kid is just trouble.”Alina gave me a look. “That doesn't seem like anything serious,” she said. “I thought you told me you two were close.”I sighed and leaned back against the couch.If only she knew how complicated that word had become.“What's the document for?” I asked.Alina sighed and glanced at the door before taking the seat across from me.Without a word, she handed me a sealed brown envelope.I broke the seal and pulled out the papers inside. As my eyes moved across the first page, Alina spoke.“Valerie Kerzhakov's injuries weren't caused by an accident.”My head snapped up.“What?”I looked back down and read through the report.“I was

NICK WALKER ©I couldn’t help staring at him as he walked into the hall.He wore the same cold look as always. A stack of papers rested in his hands as he walked to the front. He took off his coat, placed it aside, and rolled up his sleeves.I frowned a little and glanced at the papers on the table.What was all that for?“Attendance first,” he said in a calm voice before starting the roll call.“Nick Walker.” I heard my name a few minutes later. I raised my hand a little.“Present,” I answered but he didn’t even look up.I stared at him for a moment. I stared at the same man who had insulted me and looked down on me. I hated to admit it, but a part of me thought…A part of me thought we were starting to get closer but after hearing his words last evening, all I felt was disappointment.“Nick… are you sure you’re okay?” Avery asked, pulling me out of my thoughts.“Your lip keeps bleeding,” Avery said as she handed me a wipe.I felt a sharp sting the moment I touched my lip and let ou

NICK WALKER ©Whatever happened yesterday was never going to happen again. It was already in the past, and last night ended whatever I had with him.“Are you okay? You don’t look fine,” Mira said as I quietly combed her hair.“I’m fine,” I said with a forced smile.“Well, you don’t look like you're fine,” she said, turning to face me. I let out a small sigh.“Sit still and let me finish your hair,” I said and she groaned.“You’ve spent so much time doing my hair. If you’re not okay, I can always do it myself,” she said but I ignored her and kept fixing it.“Finally,” she said the moment I finished.She jumped to her feet and stretched.“At least I’m glad I don’t have to see Avery this morning,” she said before rushing off to finish the pasta I made for breakfast.Avery had already texted me. She woke up late and said she would wait for me by the school gate instead.“Come on, grab your bag. We need to go,” I said as I checked the time.“And stop rushing your food,” I warned and she n

NICK WALKER ©The last two days had felt strange. After what I saw in Enzo’s office, I had not seen him again. Only the female professor.And Avery?She had been acting strange too. For the past two days, she had been quieter than usual, and for some reason, it disturbed me.I kept waiting for her to come around, but she did not. She spent more time talking to Mira and only made small talk and short replies with me. Something felt off, and I hated that it got to me this much.I started clearing my throat as we walked home after getting off the bus. She turned to look at me.“Are you okay, Nick?” she asked, worry clear on her face.“Yeah, I’m fine actually,” I said and she let out a small sigh and kept walking.I hurried to catch up with her and lightly bumped her shoulder.“What’s wrong?” I asked. “You seem distant. Did I do something wrong?”She stopped walking and turned to me. “Do you think you’ve done anything wrong, Nick Walker?”I tried to think of what could have gone wrong be
