Chapter 35
.
Hera noticed all through the drive that Bryce wasn't talking to her. And she was lost because she had absolutely no idea what exactly could be the cause of his sudden mood swing.
They were fine just some minutes ago so what must've happened and why wasn't he giving her the chance to explain.
What would she even explain at this point when she doesn't even know her crime in all of this.
He was talking to Max alright but when she said something, he would simply ignore or pretend as if she wasn't saying anything at all. It felt like she was invincible but that was not the case.
If it weren't for the fact that Max had been engaging her in different conversations, she would've actually believed the fact that she was invincible.
"Bryce?" She called out to him. He shifted on his seat and she knew then that he was listening to her. He heard her loud and clear but only silence met her call.
She wasn't used to this side of him. He was always willing and ready to talk to her when it need presented itself. He had never given her the silent treatment before.
She took in a deep breath when she found Max's eyes staring at her through the rearview mirror. He looked just as confused as she was. His eyes seemed to say it all. He also wanted to know the reason to Bryce's sudden change of mood.
Hera watched him take a U-turn, his hands firmly holding the steering wheel. He titled his head to s side and his pressed together as though he was lost in thoughts.
"Did something happen at the game?" Hera pressed on, wanting to make him talk to her.
He shook his head negatively "Everything is fine Hera and nothing happened at the game. You don't need to beat yourself up over nothing. I'll be fine." He replied but she still heard a tint of anger in his words. He wasn't fine. He was only putting up a show because he wanted her to think that everything was okay.
She might not have known him for a very long time but she knew that this wasn't how he acted whenever he was around her.
He was always jovial, playful and very much happy.
"Do you want to talk about it?" She asked in a soft voice. Max threw his head back to rest it perfectly on the head stand. He wasn't going to say anything concerning this conversation because for starters, it had nothing to do with him In the first place.
"There's nothing wrong with me Hera and even if there is, I don't want to talk about it." He didn't mean to yell but he couldn't help it.
"Okay." Hera replied after a few minutes of wishful thinking. Maybe she would leave him for now and talk to him later when he was a bit calm and in the right frame of mind.
After driving for hours in silence, they finally arrived home. She pushed the door open and stepped out of the car without wasting any more time.
There was no point In saying anything more when he didn't want to talk to her in the first place so she'll just give him space for now.
She got into her apartment and minutes later, she heard the car pull out. He did say that he was going to Max's hotel after dropping her off. She had wanted to go so badly but she just couldn't tell him because he was upset with her.
"Hera?" Someone called from behind. She turned to find Mariam waving at her. Hera ran into the woman's arms catching off guard.
