What's Drake afraid of? Find out in the latest teaser from INSIDE GAME!

He starts to shake, and I just hold on to him, rubbing his back, letting him know I'm here for him.

"I really don't want to do this, Eva," he whispers over the birdsong in the trees above us. "Can't we just leave and pretend like none of this ever happened?"

"No," I reply firmly. "Because that's what you've been doing, and it hasn't worked for you."

He rests his head on the handlebars, and I need him to summon every last bit of courage he possesses.

"You need to tell her this hold she has on you is over. It ends today."

When he still doesn't lift his head, I go on.

"You're not going to end up like your father. She's not going to do that to you."

He raises his head and looks back at me. "I refuse to let that happen."

"Good."

I stare into his troubled eyes, which are slowly gaining focus, changing from a cloudy blue to that piercing shade of green that's frightening in its intensity.

He slips off the bike before sliding his hands around my waist and helping me down. We walk side by side toward the path. I leave my hand out just in case he wants to take it, but he doesn't. My knuckles brush against his leg a few times, and I feel like he's already distancing himself from me to prepare for the battle ahead.
