The Rules of Survival Chapter 44 Summary

This Homecoming

  • Matthew is alone in Aunt Bobbie's section of the house when Nikki comes home and just starts screaming like crazy. She just keeps on screaming, over and over again.
  • Against his better judgment, Matthew worries that she's hurt and goes upstairs to check on her. This is when she attacks him—shoving and clawing and hitting.
  • Matthew screams and tries to evade her blows, but when that doesn't work, he flips her over and runs back down to Aunt Bobbie's apartment, where he locks himself inside.
  • Nikki just keeps screaming and screaming, and Matthew goes into the bathroom to find that he has three bleeding gouges on his face. Ouch. That's going to leave a mark.
