Chapter 184: Undress Me
This storm is no joke. It’s raining so hard that I can’t see well around me anymore and I am completely soaked. I still don’t feel like going back inside the mansion though. I don’t want to run into Reiner and I guess, I just wanted time alone to wallow in my sadness.
I don’t know how many times I’ve cried in this rain. I’ve cried so much that I couldn’t cry anymore. Sadly, feeling the rain beat down on me from above is starting to feel comforting. Luckily, there were next to no thunder and lighting, otherwise, I would probably be too scared to stay out for this long.
I wonder if Reiner has already left for the main house to report back to the Elders. I couldn’t stop thinking about him and yet I’m the one that is sending him away. I’m also the one crying my eyes out because of it...this is so stupid.
Suddenly, the rain stopped. The endless rain that had been falling down on my head had come to a complete stop.
“How much longer are you going to sit out in this storm?” the voice I had wanted least...or the most...to hear right now cut through the sound of the storm.
Looking up, I saw a completely soaked Rainer holding an umbrella over my head. His red hair was now a dark maroon from being wet by the rain. Many emotions whirled within me; however, the clearest one was probably fear. The look on Reiner’s face was intimidating and scary. I knew he was mad for many reasons without needing to ask.
“Why are you here?” I asked in shock.
“To stop you from killing yourself by catching pneumonia,” Reiner replied, half in truth and half in sarcasm.
“Shouldn’t you be on your way back to the main house to see the Elders?” I asked what was on my mind.
