2026-03-30 15:00:52Jordy woke up slowly, like his body didn’t want to leave the moment behind.
For a few seconds, he didn’t move. His eyes stayed closed as he tried to piece together where he was, what had happened, why everything felt… different.
Then it came back.
Everything.
His eyes opened gently, and the first thing he saw was Matt.
Still asleep.
Jordy turned slightly on the bed, facing him fully now. The room was quiet, soft morning light slippi

Between Closed Doors Chapter 23: Said Too Lightly
A few days passed before they saw each other again like this. Not quick meetups. Not rushed conversations in passing. Something longer. Something that should have felt easy. Instead, it didn’t.It started with a plan neither of them had really expected to happen so soon.Their families going out together.It wasn’t unusual in itself, both families already knew each other well enough. Casual visits, shared meals, familiar conversations that blurred into routine.But this was different.This was everyone together, outside, in a busy restaurant filled with noise and movement and too many eyes.Jordy didn’t think much of it at first.To him, it was just another outing. Another evening where adults talked too much and joked about things that weren’t always funny.Matt thought about it more than he admitted.From the moment his parents mentioned it, something had sat uneasily in his chest.By the
Between Closed Doors Chapter 22: Things We Don’t Say Out Loud
The walk to the park was quiet at first, but not in an awkward way.Jordy could still feel the warmth of Matt’s hand wrapped aroundhis,their fingers intertwined like it was the most natural thing in the world. The afternoon sun stretched across the pavement, and the faint hum of distant traffic blended with the soft rustling of trees ahead.It felt… peaceful.
Between Closed Doors Chapter 21: Coffee, Chaos, and Close Calls
The cafe was warm, the air heavy with the scent of freshly brewed coffee and pastries.Jordy stirred his cup absentmindedly, glancing out the window while Leo rambled on about a girl he’d just met online.“…and then she sent me a selfie at like, 2 a.m., and I swear, Jordy, she looks… insane. Not in a bad way, just—wow,” Leo said, waving his hands dramatically.Jordy raised an eyebrow, smirking. “Insane, huh? That’s a great start to a relationship.”Leo laughed, leaning back in his chair. “I know, right? But you don’t get it—she’s like… different. Unique. And she plays video games. Like, can you imagine?”Jordy chuckled softly. “Sure, Leo. You’ve met your match.”Before Leo could respond, the bell above the cafe door jingled.Matt stepped inside, calm and collected, scanning the room. The moment he spotted Jordy, his lips curv
Between Closed Doors Chapter 20: Lines That Don’t Stay Straight
Jordy woke up slower than usual, like his body didn’t quite want to catch up to his thoughts.For a few seconds, he just lay there, staring at the ceiling, blinking against the soft light coming through his curtains.Jordy exhaled sharply, dragging a hand over his face before turning onto his side. “Right,” he muttered.Nothing about his room had changed, but something inside him definitely had. It wasn’t obvious, not something he could point to, but it sat there—heavy and restless.His phone was right beside him.He picked it up without thinking.No messages.Jordy frowned slightly. “Seriously?”He stared at the screen for a few seconds, like maybe something would magically appear if he waited long enough. It didn’t.With a quiet scoff, he tossed the phone back onto the bed and pushed himself up. “I’m not doing this today.”Staying inside, overthin
Between Closed Doors Chapter 19: After Everything Settled
Jordy sat by the window, his head slightly turned, watching the streetlights blur past. His reflection stared back at him faintly in the glass—eyes distant, thoughts louder than anything else around him.His mom glanced at him once.Then again.Then finally—“So,” Mrs. River said, breaking the silence gently. “How was today?”Jordy didn’t answer immediately.“It was… okay,” he said.She hummed softly. “Just okay?”Jordy shrugged lightly. “Yeah.”There was a small pause.Then she smiled a little. “What did you think about Mr. Ethan?”Jordy hesitated.His fingers tapped lightly against his thigh before he stopped himself.“He seems… nice,” he said slowly.“Nice?” she repeated, amused. “That’s all?”Jordy let out a small breath. “I mean—it was just the first meeting.”“That’s true,” she said, nodding.He glanced at her briefly, then added, “I was just… a bit shocked at
Between Closed Doors Chapter 18: Lines We Pretend Not to Cross
Matt didn’t move for a second after the knock.“Matt?”Maya’s voice came again, louder this time.Jordy stepped back, his breathing still uneven, his mind scrambling to catch up with everything that had just happened.Matt finally turned toward the door, running a hand through his hair before unlocking it.The door opened.Maya stood there, arms crossed, eyebrows raised. “Why was your door locked?”Matt leaned casually against the frame like nothing had happened. “Privacy exists, you know.”She rolled her eyes. “Yeah, not when you’re acting suspicious.”Her gaze shifted past him, landing on Jordy.Jordy straightened slightly.Maya narrowed her eyes. “What are you guys doing?”“Talking,” Matt said flatly.“With the door locked?”“Yes, Maya. People lock doors when they talk.”She looked between them again, clearly not convinced. “Whatever. Have you seen my headphones?”Matt
Between Closed Doors Chapter 17: The Moment Everything Broke
Jordy’s body felt frozen.The name still echoed in his head like it hadn’t fully landed yet.Matt.It’s a coincidence, he told himself quickly.It has to be.There are many people named Matt.Before he could think any further, footsteps
Between Closed Doors Chapter 16: The Name That Changed Everything
“Finally,” Matt’s voice came through the phone, filled with exaggerated relief. “I thought I was never going to hear your voice again.”Jordy laughed softly, already smiling as he lay on his bed, one leg bent and the other stretched out. “It’s been

Jordy didn’t expect the feeling to settle in the way it did.

Jordy dropped his phone onto the bed and stared at the ceiling for a few long moments. The conversation with Matt kept replaying in his head, louder each time.A break.The words echo
