Chapter 18- What I choose to remember

last update publish date: 2026-04-23 18:36:25

Belle’s POV

The room didn’t go back to normal.

That was the first thing I noticed.

Not the silence.

Not the cold.

Not even the fact that I was still staring at a window that had just swallowed someone I thought was dead.

No—

It was the absence of normal.

Like something had been disturbed too deeply to settle again.

I sat on the edge of the bed, my hands resting against the sheets, fingers slightly curled like I was holding onto something invisible.

Maybe I was.

Maybe I had been this whole time.

  • Bad boy's obsession Ā Ā Ā Chapter 21- Where it leads

    Belle’s POVI didn’t press play again.Not yet.The silence after the last attempt still lingered in my ears, like the sound hadn’t fully left—like it was waiting just beneath the surface, ready to rise again the moment I let it.My fingers rested lightly on the edge of the diary.Not moving.Not tracing.Just… waiting.Because something had changed.The music wasn’t just music anymore.And the diary wasn’t just something to decode.It was leading me.Somewhere real.My eyes dropped back to the page.To the marking.That small curve near the bottom.It didn’t belong.Not to the flow.Not to the rhythm.Not to anything I had learned so far.My breath came out slower as I leaned in slightly.ā€œOkayā€¦ā€ I whispered.This time, I didn’t just trace it.I followed it.Curve.Pause.Angle.My head tilted slightly.ā€œā€¦left.ā€The word slipped out before I could stop it.Because that’s what it felt like.Not a shape.A direction.My fingers moved again, repeating it more deliberately now.Curve.Pa

  • Bad boy's obsession Ā Ā Ā Chapter 20- Don't trust the silence

    Belle’s POVI shouldn’t have pressed play again.I knew that.The first time had been enough to prove it wasn’t just music. Enough to prove something was hidden inside it—something deliberate. Something meant.But knowing that didn’t stop me.It made it worse.Because now I couldn’t not hear it.My thumb hovered over the screen for half a second.Then—I pressed play.The sound slid back into my ears, soft at first, almost normal. A melody I used to know. A melody that used to mean something simple.Now it felt layered.Too layered.Like there were things sitting underneath it, buried just out of reach.I leaned forward slightly, elbows resting against the table, eyes locked on the diary. My fingers hovered above the page again—but this time, they didn’t hesitate.They followed.Left.Pause.Curve.Drop.Rise.The rhythm matched.Not perfectly.Not obviously.But enough.My breathing slowed, syncing with the pattern as I traced it again, more carefully this time. I wasn’t just listeni

  • Bad boy's obsession Ā Ā Ā Chapter 19- What the silence hides

    Belle’s POVMorning didn’t feel like morning.It felt like something pretending to be it.The light came in the same way it always did—soft through the curtains, stretching across the floor, touching the edge of my desk like nothing had changed.But everything had.I stood in the middle of my room longer than I should have, staring at the space near the window.At nothing.At where he had been.My chest tightened slightly.ā€œLukeā€¦ā€ I whispered.The name still didn’t feel wrong.That was the problem.It felt—Right.Too right.And that alone made everything else feel unstable.Because Luke was supposed to be gone.Not missing.Not hidden.Gone.That was what I had believed for three years.That was what I had remembered.And now—Now I didn’t know if that memory was mine.Or something given to me.I grabbed my bag.My movements slower than usual.Heavier.Like I was carrying something invisible with me.Maybe I was.The diary stayed hidden between my books.I didn’t hesitate to take it.

  • Bad boy's obsession Ā Ā Ā Chapter 17- The one I buried

    Belle’s POV---The message was still on my screen.> It’s still here.I didn’t move.Didn’t breathe properly.Didn’t think.Because thinking meant choosing what was real—And I wasn’t ready for that.The room had gone too quiet.Not empty.Quiet.Like something inside it had decided to listen.The air felt… occupied.Not moving.Not shifting.Just—There.Behind me.My fingers tightened around my phone until it almost slipped.Don’t turn.The thought came suddenly.Sharp.Instinctive.Like something in me already understood—Turning would change everything.But not turning didn’t make it go away.It made it worse.Because now—I could feel it.Closer than before.Not just watching.Present.Aware.Waiting for me to acknowledge it.My throat tightened.ā€œYou don’t get to just stand there,ā€ I whispered, my voice barely holding. ā€œYou don’t get toā€”ā€ā€œYou still shiver.ā€The voice cut through me.Soft.Low.Familiar.My entire body locked.Not because it was strange.But because it wasn’t.

  • Bad boy's obsession Ā Ā Ā Chapter 16- It Knows Me

    Belle’s POVThe note didn’t move.I don’t know why I expected it to.Maybe because everything else had stopped making sense.Maybe because a part of me still believed this would unravel if I looked at it long enough—like the words would shift, rearrange, turn into something harmless.They didn’t.Stop digging.Two words. Simple. Clear.Deliberate.I read them again.And again.Each time, they felt heavier. Not louder. Not sharper. Just… heavier. Like they were settling deeper into the room. Into me.My fingers tightened around the edge of the paper.ā€œDigging into what?ā€ I whispered.The question didn’t sound like mine.It sounded small. Uncertain.Like I already knew the answer and didn’t want to say it out loud.My eyes moved slowly to the diary.It hadn’t changed.Not at first glance.Still open. Still quiet. Still pretending to be nothing more than ink and paper.But that wasn’t true anymore.It hadn’t been true for a while.I placed the note down carefully. Not because I was calm—
