JEREMY

I knew I was the second choice.

I didn’t need a confession for that. I didn’t need proof. You don’t marry someone like Hunter without understanding the shape of his silence. I knew where his thoughts went when the room went quiet. I knew the name he never said but never let go of.

Leo had been there before me.

Leo had left something behind.

I made peace with that years ago.

Or I thought I had.

I’d been gone a week. A stupid work trip. Nothing important. Long enough, apparently, for Hunte

    HUNTER Someone touched me, and I honestly thought it was Jeremy, but when I finally turned, everything shattered again, because it wasn’t youIt was him.Leo.Standing there, I didn’t want to belive it was real, he was real, until he touched me again, and then i flinched “What are you doing here?”The words come out fast.“Did you follow me? How did you even—why are you here? What is your problem? Can’t you just…This.. that..I couldn’t even give an account of what exactly I was saying, cause I was crying, stuttering, because I was tired, because he was here, here of all places, next to the man I caused his death because of me, the same fucking me? I can’t, I just couldn’t My legs shook and I was staggering, but he got up to me before I could fall and maybe hit my head on the edge and just dieJeremy would want that right Je… My visioned blurred and I was burning up badly “Hey.”“It’s okay.”He hugged me tighter, and for a second it didnt feel like I was dyingI was…actuallyB

    Hunter You know, there is something about clock, and the time, it never stopsTick… tock… tick… It keeps on moving, over and over again No rest, no peace, just like me You see, no one has ever said how exhausting that is, until they end up in that situation, until they become a Hunter, who was nothing more than a living dead, and when I chose not to think anymore, as if that would solve it, I just… sit.That’s all I’ve been doing lately.Sitting, then thinking, then not thinking.Then thinking again until it hurts so badly I wish I could just rip my own head open and take everything out.Because maybe… just maybe if I empty it completely, that would give me the completely freedom i seek. Maybe there would be no Leo, no Jeremy, no guilt, no… me.Fuck! My phone rings, right when I feel this overthinking was finally going to make me go mad, or even better kill me The sound is loud, it feels to real, like it doesn’t belong in this quiet, suffocating space I’ve built for myself.I

    SKYI laughed as he lifted me up to the bed effortlessly as if we both had not been crying some minutes ago, but it was all over now"Would you go easy on me?"I asked jokingly, and he silenced my lips with a kiss"We'd see"He said in between kisses and I dipped my hands into his hair as he kissed me harder that I felt he was going to use the kisses to suffocate me, then he stopped and started to take my clothes off me…hungrily "Let me help you"I smiled and reached for his belt, but he immediately…paused, and I looked at him scared if I had did something wrong, cause I didn't wanted to hurt him anymore, but that wasn't the case, he shook his head and told me that wasn't the case himself"I just...this just..."He smiled, as if trying to hold himself together, but I could see tears glimmering in his eyesOh my babyMy heart broke and I hugged him tight, and kissed his forehead"Maybe we shouldn't...""No...."His voice came out louder at first, he really wanted to let me know that w

    SkyI don’t even remember how we got here.One second I was outside, barely breathing, my heart about to tear out of my chest…The nextMy back hits the wall, hard like I was used as an hammer to want to break itAce’s hand is still wrapped around my wrist.His chest rising and falling like he just ran a marathon.We’re in some quiet corner in the school Away from everything, his car, the bodyguard that looked like he was going to murder me if I touched his precious master, but that wasn’t the point, cause now, now he was in front of me, too close, way too close At first we are just… staring at each other.And I swear, I have never seen him like this before.His eyes aren’t just angry.They’re breaking, actually breaking into complete pieces, this guy, this tough guy that I always knew, that was always so mean and cold, that had ice built up was in the most vulnerable state he might be in his entire life, and i couldn’t help but to think it was because of me, of course it was becaus

    ACEI shouldn’t look back.I know I shouldn’t, I fucking really shouldn’t, cause that was the whole point of leaving, you don’t look back, you don’t hesitate, you don’t give yourself a reason to stay, you don’t listen to the fucking thoughts in your head telling you, maybe this or that or this or… Oh fuck….That was the whole point, but when I hear it“Wait!”I broke all those rules on my head, cause there he was, my weakness.Running.Breathless.Messy.Stupid.Beautiful.Sky! Sky! Sky!!!!And for a secondEverything else disappears.Even him leaving Leo behind, even that, he… he left him for me, but everuthing is all short lived cause the bodyguard spoke behind me, stating his orders, to remind me of what I had to do“Sir, it’s time…”“Wait.”My voice comes out sharper than I expected, I didn’t even wanted to talk, I was not suppose to, but my damn eyes, I didn’t even look at him when he said that, my eyes were still on sky, breathing like a pig… but.. he was my p… no… oh God He s

    LeoJeremy.That name hits me like a shock, why won’t it? I never knew, I never thought that far either, it’s not like it makes any difference now if I know or not, but Hunter… married Jeremy?My chest tightenedI didn’t know, I didn’t know it was him, but like I said, what would that do to either of us?I don’t know the details of his words or what he meant by he caused Jeremy death, I know he can’t physically cause it or anything, since he is not that type of guy, so to me, it wasn’t that logicalDestroying himself over something that isn’t entirely his fault, and I realized something, that blaming himself won’t bring Jeremy back, it won’t make anything better, it’s just killing him slowly, and I can’t watch that, not againI get I am the main root of all this, with my ego, so the person carrying the burden should be me, snd me alone, but I just couldn’t lose him again ti some madness, not after losing him once Love isn’t about letting go, I don’t know who is the fucker that invent

    SKY I learned about death the first time when I was seven. It smelled like hospital disinfectant and burnt toast from the vending machine downstairs. It sounded like whispered apologies and the flat line of a monitor that didn’t care about my age. I learned that day that when adults say “be stro
