Shadows In Durango
Chapter 89-1
Sofia’s POV
I hurry to find Mr Stanley to let him know that Vincent was off school today and that I was back from my holiday if you could even call my couple of days of torment a holiday!
ip on in the supply closet but knew that I would find comfort in the silence
I wondered how much stuff there would be to catch up on through doing it on my own.
With Vincent not being here and with everyone else being at class, would have some proper time to think.
“Mr Stanley! Hey!” I call, seeing him up ahead as he exits one of the science labs and turns to find me in surprise.
“Oh, Sofia! I thought you two had been avoiding me!” He stops in his stride in order for me to catch up, chuckling as I shake my head instantly.
“No, not at all! I was out of town for a couple of days and Vincent is off school today so it will just be me.” I explain, as he nod smiles kindly.
and
“Excellent! Well you know where to go and what to do!” He nods finally, as I force out yet another smile before hurrying towards my private sanctuary that helped me to avoid going to gym class.
I still couldn’t think of anything worse than going back to that same class, the one I had quite literally been assaulted and
humiliated in!
Shaking the negative memories away, I pull down the handle of the door, stepping inside and immediately seeing that someone must have left the lights on since it was usually dark whenever I would get here…
I hear the door close over behind me, as I round the corner to step into the main section of the storage room, before nearly shrieking when finding someone bent over inside of a large cardboard box on the floor- their back to me.
Thankfully, I stopped myself just in time to save any embarrassment, as I immediately wonder why Mr Stanley hadn’t mentioned there being another student assigned to this job now…
“Uhh… hey? We haven’t met yet because I was out of town for a couple of days…” I break the awkward silence, as the guy immediately stands to his full height and turns to lace me the moment he hears my voice coming from behind him.
And it is only in that moment that all time seems to stop.
My heart climbs up in to my throat and then in to my mouth, as my saliva seems to dissipate completely. I open and close my mouth in a desperate attempt to find oxygen that suddenly seemed to be running low…
“Sofia?!” He states, as I find myself backing up slowly, shaking my head from left to right in shock berror of who was stood before
mte.
It can’t be him!
“Ashton?!” Tbabble out in sheer disbelief, feeling my back hit the cabinets behind me as I almost fall over some books that were splayed out across the floor.
My
mind was saying run and my heart was still attempting to process that my ex–boyfriend, the one who had proven himself to be a Total bastard back home, was now somehow stood right in front of me here in the damn storage closet!
This can’t be real, maybe I was taking ill? Maybe I was starting to hallucinate…

Chapter 89-1
“You can’t be here! W–Why are you here?!” I ramble, feeling my hand shake as his expression seems just as shocked at mine which was surprising…
If he hadn’t have looked so caught off guard then I would have made a dash for it almost immediately, believing that he was here to find me to take me back to my father, but instead, he looked lost for words.
He had gotten a little bigger from the last time I had seen him, both in height and in muscle, but his face remained the exact same
It was definitely him….
“I could ask you the same? God it’s been so long since I last saw you. You look so different!” Ashton admits, cocking his head to the side to look me over which immediately makes me feel uncomfortali.
What was he playing at?! From what I remember, my father had him running around to do his dirty work like a little bitch!

With a quick glance towards the door, reassuring myself that I could make it out on time if he changed his mind and decided to approach me, I release a shaky reall
I had to leave, and don’t act like you don’t know why Ashtont It was pretty clear that we were over… but just answer my question, why on earth are you here?!” I become defensive, being forced to confront one of the shadows of my past brought back here to
haunt me.
He shocks me with what he does next, however I can’t lie and say that it doesn’t help to ease my anxiety a little, as I watch him sink down into the chair to his left posing no further threat to me
calm down a little? I won’t hurt you, you know that. Ashton grumbles, as I can’t help the scoff that comes next at
“Your brothers stole and blew up my car and then smashed our house windows and after that, my uncle didn’t want me involved with them and so he sent me away.” He explains, shaking his head at the memory as I have to stop myself from almost feeling sorry for him
None of this changes that he was still an asshole to me! None of it
you where?” I whisper, my voice shaky and my pulse still racing
