Chapter: BbshaSKYLAR Chris's apartment is a twenty minute walk that does nothing to cool my rage. Each step feels like it's stoking the fire burning in my chest. By the time I'm pounding on his door, my knuckles are white and my jaw aches from clenching so hard I'm surprised my teeth haven't cracked."Skylar?" Chris opens the door looking genuinely surprised, his hair messy like he just woke up from a nap, wearing old basketball shorts and a wrinkled t-shirt. "What are you doing here?""Where's April?" I push past him into the apartment without waiting for an invitation. It's bigger than mine—than mine and that intruder's—but messier, with textbooks scattered across the coffee table like confetti and empty energy drink cans lined up on the counter in some kind of caffeine monument.Chris closes the door, confusion written across his face as he blinks away the remnants of sleep. "I haven't seen her since yesterday. I thought she was with you, studying or someth

Chapter: Learning To CoexistSKYLARI emerge from my room two hours later, hoping the movers are gone and I can confront Liam properly without an audience.The new living room makes my jaw drop. Where there used to be our modest thrift store couch, there is now a sectional and an entertainment center that cost thousands of dollars. This place now screams the kind of excessive wealth I resent and envy."You have got to be fcking kidding me," I mutter, looking through April's no, Liam's open door.The room has been completely redecorated. A king size bed with designer bedding sits where her old mattress used to be, looking like it came straight from a luxury showroom. There is another massive TV and even a small bar cart in the corner stocked with top shelf liquor.My small, carefully maintained space in this apartment now feels like a closet compared to his room.Liam appears in the doorway behind me, and I can feel his presence before I see him. "Like what I did with the place?"I spin around. "Are you serious ri

Chapter: Moving InSKYLAR I step into my apartment hallway, muscles aching from a double shift at the library, and what I see makes every ounce of exhaustion evaporate. Professional movers are carrying furniture through my living room, expensive leather chairs, a sleek glass coffee table, boxes labeled "FRAGILE" in red marker. And directing them all, standing in the middle of MY apartment like he owns the place, is Liam fcking Harrington. "What the hell is going on?" I drop my bag as my voice climbs several octaves. "Get out. All of you, get out fck right now." Liam turns to face me, infuriatingly calm, a slight smile playing at his lip. "Skylar, welcome home." "Welcome home? WELCOME HOME?" I'm practically screaming now, and I don't care. "This is MY apartment. You can't just, where is April?" "Careful where you step," one of the movers says, maneuvering a massive TV past me. "This sht is worth more than some cars." I ignore him, advancing on Liam with my fists clenched. "I am calling the c

Chapter: What's Best For meSKYLAR I stare at the empty closet for the third time this evening, my heart sinking deeper with each pass. All of April's things are gone except the empty hangers swaying slightly from where I yanked open the door too hard, their metal hooks clinking together in the silence. "April?" I call out again, my voice cracking slightly as it echoes through the apartment. "This isn't funny anymore." Silence answers me, heavy and oppressive in our tiny two bedroom apartment that suddenly feels unfamiliar. I move through the space like a ghost, checking everywhere for some sign of her, some indication that this is all a misunderstanding. In the kitchen, I notice her favorite mug is missing from the dish rack, the one with the chipped handle that said "World's Okayest Student" in faded letters. My hands tremble as I pull open the refrigerator, finding her almond milk and container of leftover food missing. "What the fck, April?" I whisper to no one, my chest tightening with anxiety that's

Chapter: A Tough Decision LIAM I find April sitting alone on a park bench, her brow furrowed as she scrolls through her phone. A knot tightens in my stomach as I force myself forward, this is the only way. "April?" I flash my most disarming smile. "Mind if we talk for a minute?" She looks up, squinting against the afternoon sun. "Liam? What do you want?" I let the weight of my next words settle between us. "Trust me, April. The money will be worth your precious time." That gets her attention, her expression shifts from mild irritation to cautious interest. She glances around the park as if checking who might be watching before returning her gaze to me. "Money?" She sets her phone facedown on the bench, worrying her bottom lip between her teeth. "What are you talking about?" No point in dancing around it. "I overheard you yesterday at the café, you and Chris were discussing your financial situation." Her face flushes crimson, anger flashing in her eyes. "You were eavesdropping? That's low, even f

Chapter: An Opportunist is Born LIAM This isn't creepy is what I tell myself as I sit in the corner booth of the café, laptop open to a half finished economics paper I have zero intention of completing. I have been here for two hours, nursing the same cold coffee, watching the door. April Chen walks in at exactly 2:47 PM. Right on time with a little help from a birdie. "Hey, can I get a small black coffee?" she asks the barista, her voice tired. "And blueberry muffins, thanks." She pays in crumpled bills. Chris walks in, some guy from a rival frat, sociology major. They settle into a table near the windows, close enough that their voices carry. "Thanks for meeting me," April says, wrapping both hands around her coffee cup like she is trying to absorb its warmth. "I needed to talk to someone." He gives her a quick kiss, leaning in. "Of course. What's going on?" "I don't know what I'm going to do, Chris." Her voice cracks, and I pretend to adjust my earbuds while slipping them off my ears. "The rent is going up
