107 Letting Go

Sebastian's POV

I got into a fight with Adrian.

I saw Scar with Adrian in the parking lot talking, happily. I could have gone and given her the files. It has been in my car where I basically live these days. I didn't. I wasn't in a hurry to cut the only connection between me and Scar.

Adrian sends her home? What could another conversation do? Everything I do right now only pushes her further away. But I followed them like a lost kid.

Adrian the jerk soon spotted me and lost me in the traffic. He was a racer, the one thing I could never win him with.

When I caught up with him, Scar already went to see Ava. I admit, I was upset. Ava wasn't in any urgent need, and he shouldn't have let her go. Jack Fuller doesn't care whether Ava needs it. He would drain Scar no matter what.

I demanded why he let Scar do that and he punched me, shouting something about I didn't have the right to ask him that.
