Matthew restrained me with one hand and opened the car door with the other.
“Get in.”
His words were threatening.
My eyes fell on Theo who was not far away, and he nodded slowly at me. My confused heart suddenly calmed down at this moment. I believed him. I got into the car first, and Matthew closed the door.
Just when Matthew was rounding to get into the car, I suddenly heard a gunshot. Matthew wailed, then several policemen rushed forward and subdued Matthew on the ground.
Theo ran over, opened the door, and took me out of the car.
"Theo."
I hugged him. All my longing from the past many days broke out at this moment. My eyes were red, but I was stubborn and did not want to shed any tears.
Looking back at Matthew on the ground, I saw that his hands were cuffed. His gaze had been fixed on me until the moment the police lifted him off the ground.
It was filled with accusation and resentment.
I buried my head in Theo's arms, not daring to look into his eyes.
Even though he had made so many mistakes, he was truly sincere with me.
“Everything’s fine now.”
Theo put his hands around my head and comforted me in a low voice.
I thought I might not cry when this day came, but now that it had, I could not even cry. It felt like the inside of my heart had been obstructed by a rock. It was very uncomfortable.
Leaving his embrace, I watched Matthew until he got into the police car. I still felt sorry for him.
