Chapter Ten — Walls

Elle's POV

I left before she woke up.

Not because I wanted to. Because I had something to do and I needed to do it before I talked myself out of it.

Jake's house was twenty minutes away in the kind of neighborhood where every lawn looked the same and every car in the driveway cost more than my mother made in a year. I had been there once before, sophomore year, for some party I did not want to attend. I remembered the gate code because I remembered everything that might be u

  • Addicted to Roseanne {GL}   Proxy

    Chapter Thirteen — ProxyElle's POVI read the text twice."You think you're protecting her. You're just making it worse. Back off or the rest of the pictures go to her father."Different number from the first unknown text. Same energy. Same goal. Jake was not done — he had just stopped using his own hands. Smart enough to create distance, stupid enough to think distance would protect him.I saved the screenshot and added it to the document. Noted the time, the number, the exact wording. Then I put my phone face-down on the table and finished making the kitchen clean because Roseanne was twenty minutes away and I wanted her to walk into something calm.The kettle clicked off. I poured two cups and sat down.My mind kept drifting to her. The way she had looked getting out of my car this morning — tired and braced, walking up that driveway like she was heading into something she could not avoid. The line of her shoulders. The way she had not looked back. I wanted to rewind the whole mor

  • Addicted to Roseanne {GL}   Corner

    Chapter Twelve — CornerElle's POVMy phone buzzed with a screenshot.Roseanne had forwarded me the message without a word attached. Just the image. Four words from an unknown number, ugly and direct.I stared at it for a moment. Then I saved it to the evidence folder I had started last night and pulled out of her driveway.I did not go home. I parked two streets over and sat with the engine running.The number was blocked, which meant it was either Jake working through a second phone or someone he had put up to it. Either way it traced back to him. Everything today traced back to him. The photos, the Facebook message to her mother, now this. He had woken up this morning and decided that losing was not something he was willing to do quietly.I typed to Roseanne: "Don't respond. Screenshot everything."She sent back a thumbs up.I drove home.My mother was awake, which was unusual for a Sunday before noon. She was sitting at the kitchen table in her robe with a glass of water and the s

    Chapter Eleven — HollowRoseanne's POVI stared at my mother's text for three full seconds.Then I got out of the car.Elle reached for my arm. "Rose.""I have to go in.""I know. I'm just saying — you don't have to explain everything today. Not if you're not ready."I looked at her through the open car door. She was right and I knew she was right and it did not help at all. "I'll text you."I shut the door and walked up the driveway.My mother was in the kitchen. She was not doing anything — not making coffee, not looking at her phone. Just standing at the counter with her hands flat on the surface, facing the window. That was how I knew it was bad. My mother was never still."Sit down," she said without turning around.I sat at the kitchen table. My hands were in my lap and I pressed them together to keep them steady.She turned around. Her face was not angry. I almost wished it was. Anger I could push back against. What she had instead was something quieter and more complicated — a

I had been there once before, sophomore year, for some party I did not want to attend. I remembered the gate code because I remembered everything that might be useful someday.I punched it in. The gate opened.I parked on the street and walked up the driveway at six forty-five in the morning. The house was quiet. I rang the bell and waited.He answered in a t-shirt and boxers, hair wrecked from sleep, and the moment he saw me his whole face shifted from confused to wary."You've got to be kidding me," he said."Screenshots exist," I said. "I know you know that. So do you."He leaned against the door frame, arms crossed. Trying to look relaxed. He was no

    Chapter Nine — SeenRoseanne's POVThe text was from Becca.Three words. "Everyone's talking, Rose."That was all. No explanation, no details, no softening. Just that, sitting on my screen at midnight like a hand around my throat.I put the phone down. Picked it up again. Put it down."What does it say?" Elle asked.I did not answer right away. My brain was still trying to catch up with the last twenty minutes — the link, the thumbnails, Jake's casual cruelty delivered through a phone screen like it was nothing. And now Becca. Which meant it had spread past whatever circle Jake had sent it to. It had legs now."Everyone's talking," I said out loud.Elle went still.I watched her jaw tighten and then release, the way it did when she was working to stay controlled. She took my phone, read the message once, and set it face-down on the nightstand without a word."Okay," she said."Okay?" My voice came out thinner than I wanted. "Elle, everyone means everyone. That means teachers. That mea

    Chapter Eight — SpreadingElle's POVThe phone screen was still lit in my hand.The link was right there. A private site, but not locked. All it took was one click and there she was — Roseanne. Her body. Her face. Arranged on a page like she was nothing.My stomach dropped straight through the mattress.I counted the thumbnails. Eleven pictures. The ones I had taken in her bedroom, plus others I had never seen before. Older ones, maybe. Jake's private collection, now someone else's entertainment.And according to his second message, half the senior class already had the link.I sat up slow. Roseanne was still asleep beside me, her hair across her face, her breathing soft and even. She had no idea. She was still in the part of the night that came before all of this.I had maybe ten minutes before someone texted her directly.I thought about waking her gently. Thought about the right words, the calm voice, the steady hands. Then I thought about how her face would look and I put the phon
