CHAPTER 209
~Valerie's POV~
"Damn it!"
The door slammed shut behind me as I stormed into my dorm room. My chest heaved with restrained rage and my pulse was a furious rhythm in my ears.
I didn't even bother to switch the light on. The soft glow from the bedside lamp was enough.
My fists clenched at my sides, nails digging into my palms as my chest rose and fell with every deep breaths filling my thoughts.
In anger my fingers reached up to my necklace, I yanked it off and threw it… letting it land somewhere in my room.
Right after I marched over to my table and in one swing a full crash followed.
I shoved my books off the table. They scattered across the floor in a chaotic mess. My pens clattered, one hitting the wall with a sharp tap.
My bedside drawer flew open as I yanked it too hard, a few hairpins and my journal tumbling out.
And then, I screamed.
A raw, frustrated sound that tore from deep within me.
