The Perfect Thief novel Chapter 257

.noveldrama

I had to admit , I was excited to be getting away for a few weeks and even more excited to be participating in this competition .

I was also incredibly nervous , which came to no surprise tehnyone .

This was everything I had wanted and worked towards for so long .

My future came down to this competition and I couldnt blow it .

My professors think that Im more than ready and my family and friends are all supporting me , but the one person I wanted to support me the most , was MIA .

My heart lurched at the thought of Gavin and how hes been avoiding me these last few weeks .

At least , thats what it seemed like .

As I was sparring with Matt , my thoughts got away from me .

I knew it was a bad idea to be sparring with him while my mind wasnt completely focused , but I told myself that it would be okay .

That I was good enough to still do my job .

It wasnt like me to make any mistakes , and I wasnt planning on doing so today .

However , I messed up greatly while showing him a new move Ive been working on with the bow and arrow .

My aim was completely off , and I didnt realize Matt had moved from his current position .

As soon as the arrow flew from the air and I saw Matt in sight , I screamed out for him to move .

But it was too late .

Mans scream pierced through the night air .

I dont remember running towards him , but soon , I was kneeling on the ground , grabbing at his leg which was now covered in blood with an arrow sticking out of it .

My fingers trembled as I attempted to stop the bleeding , too afraid to remove the arrow , not wanting it to further any damage .

I had never seen Matt cry and scream so much before but as I looked at his paling face , I saw streaks of tears washing over his features and his lips trembling as he grabbed a hold of me , not wanting me to leave him .
