Azaria’s POV

I fell asleep again at some stage.

The area was softly lit by the bedside lamp. Nicholas had not woken up yet, breathing softly, with his mouth slightly open. He looked younger when he slept. Softer.

That version of him—the real one—was what made me stay.

But I didn’t get to linger in the moment long.

“Azaria.” A firm, strong voice took me out of my thoughts.

When I looked up, there was Ashley in the doorway, arms folded and one brow up.

Her words were calm, but something sharp was hidden behind her shy tone. “He will be in my care from now on.”

I wanted to object, but then I chose to keep quiet. Offers were never made by Ashley unless she was being serious.

I looked at Nick once more before quietly rising from the chair, smoothing out my wrinkled clothes as I nodded.

“Okay.”

She blinked, almost as if surprised by how quickly I agreed. I was surprised too. Maybe I thought she’d scold me for sneaking in. Maybe I was waiting for her to tease me about falli

    Glass ShardsAzaria’s POVThe following morning I woke in the embrace of a couple of little bodies. Lucas and Ariana remained sleeping in the curled-up position like a kitten, each lying beside me. Lucas was holding the blanket by the corner, his head under it, whereas Ariana was flinging her arm carelessly across my stomach, the locks of her hair tumbling on the pillow like a crown of golden fire.At least I felt a bit lighter after days.I had overcome the fever, and could breathe without feeling as though somebody had set an anvil on my chest. My arms and legs hurt a bit, still, but that was nothing. I could move. I could think.Unfortunately.Because thinking brought memories.Killian. Ashley. That photo.I closed my eyes, as though I was still sleeping and was hoping that sometimes I could fall asleep again. But Ariana in arousal, opened her sleepy eyes and bumped me gently.“You okay?” she whispered.I nodded. “Yeah.”“Today’s Tuesday. You wanna skip school?” Lucas mumbled from

    The Breaking PointAzaria’s POVI was slowly getting better.Physically, at least. My fever had subsided and my body aches were also gradually being released.My aunt had even smiled that morning, declaring my color had returned. She brought me some tea and toast, and sat there at my bed, and said she thought I would like to have a walk. I nodded, because I did not want to appear ungrateful, but deep within my heart was still sick.The type of sickness which would not heal by medicine.The kind that clawed at your chest in the quietest moments.After Killian left, things inside me shifted.He had come with warmth, with concern. His being had been safe and his words were like a balm-until they were not. Up to the moment when there was a silence that started to grow longer and harsher. Because no matter what he said about protecting me, something didn’t sit right. And I could not shake it. Not able to get out of my mind the things she did not say and the way he looked.And Ashley.I mis

    Lines in the SandNicholas’s POVI needed to get out of my own head. For the past few days, my thoughts had been circling the same drain—Azaria’s absence, the rumors, the lingering sense that something wasn’t right. School felt empty without her.Not just in the physical sense, but like the air had been sucked out of the place. There were no sharp comebacks in literature class, no flashes of her dark eyes in the hallway. No Azaria.It gnawed at me.Ashley had been quiet, distant, even when surrounded by her loyal group of friends. She smiled, but it never reached her eyes. I knew her well enough to see through the act. Beneath the layers of gloss and pride, she was unraveling. But if you asked her about Azaria, she’d shrug and say something clipped like, “She needed time.”Time? No. Something had happened.And Selene…Don’t get me started.That girl had been hovering around me like a shadow I couldn’t shake. Always chirping in my ear, offering fake sympathy for “what Azaria put us thr

    Behind Friendly SmilesNicholas' POVI should’ve known something was wrong the moment Azaria didn’t show up to school again. It had been two days, and though people whispered that she was probably just sick, something in my gut told me it wasn’t just that. Not when the halls still echoed with gossip about her. Not when Ashley walked into class with her usual poise, but her eyes were distant—guarded, like a locked room no one could enter.Ashley didn’t talk about Azaria. Not to me. Not to anyone. But I could see it in the way her jaw tensed when someone so much as mentioned her name. It was just that heartbreak, covered with the flawlessly applied eyeliner and rehearsed smiles. She was broken and yet, she pretended that nothing occurred.But it had. Something had happened—something big—and nobody was saying anything out loud.The public—our classmates, our so-called ‘friends’—still believed Azaria was the villain. They speculated wildly, feeding on the rumors like vultures on a carcass

    The Truth After the SilenceAzaria’s POVI don’t know how long I stayed curled under the covers after Killian left—minutes, hours, maybe lifetimes. Everything felt muted. Like the fever had seeped into my soul, fogging up everything that once felt certain. I believed that I was over crying. I believed that the tears were exhausted, and then I heard the knock at my door a second time, timid and cautious. Something hesitate.“Azaria?” It was Killian again.I didn't say anything, but the door creaked open anyway. He stepped in slowly, his gaze scanning my face, searching for permission.“You forgot this," he said, and handed me a packet of tissues out of the bag he had brought up earlier.I nearly broke a smile with the ridiculous act. Tissues. Like they could mop up everything inside me.“Thanks,” I said, voice hoarse.But I didn’t take them. I looked up at him instead, and something in his face, something tender, open, raw, opened a door that I had thought long ago closed. I gasped and

    What the Silence MeantAzaria’s POVI awoke in a cold perspiration, my skin scalding hot and clammy both. I had a drum-like pounding in my head, and all my limbs seemed to have been wringed and twisted. I forgot even where I was briefly.Sleep and fever had carried me away to a place of darkness, a place of silence--and the awakening was no debutante relief. It simply brought me back to the pain.I heard my aunt mentioning something, and she came in the room very quietly, with a glass of water and a thermometer. "Azaria, honey… you are burning up. You are running a fever."I made no protest. I couldn’t. I was parched, my limbs seemed leaden, and the beat in my temples would not permit me to think of anything but that. She tucked the blanket under my chin and with her tender fingers she brushed the hair away off my face."Forget school today, she said, very firmly but tenderly. Rest. Your body is trying to say something to you."I weakly nodded. Frankly speaking, I could not think of r
