Will stood in the foyer facing me, his eyes on fire, and I wanted to take him to my room, close the door, and hold him forever, but he knew how this would end tonight. I wouldn’t grovel, and I was leaving. I shoved Alex away and darted for the door, but she caught me and threw me to the floor. I crashed, my body wracking with pain as I caught my breath and glared up at her from the marble floor. I didn’t waste another second. Blasting off the ground, I lunged for her, ready to tear right through her if I had to, because… Because the only person I knew how to fight for was myself.
