Mia lay flat on her back, her arms spread out across the bed, staring at the ceiling. Right beneath her, Christian lay in the exact same position in his room. The silence in the house was thick, but inside her head, thoughts refused to rest.

She had sworn she’d keep things professional. That was the rule. That was the boundary. But a few minutes ago?

They almost kissed.

Again.

Her palms slid up to cover her face as she drew in a breath through her fingers. Her heart hadn’t calmed since the moment he brushed that strand of hair from her face. The way he looked at her… it wasn’t just a look. The air between them had shifted—undeniably charged. She had felt it. He had too.

“Are you in love with Christian?” she whispered.

Her voice was small, unsure.

She took a slow, deliberate breath. “No.”

But the silence didn’t accept that answer. The question lingered, echoing back at her.

She frowned and repeated, a little firmer, “No.”

Still, the thoughts came.

If she wasn’t in love with him, why di

  • Chasing Midnight Promises    Chapter 72: She Made It

    The next time I opened my eyes, the light was softer, not as harsh. My head felt heavy, but my chest lighter than it had before. I blinked a few times and shifted my gaze slowly—to the nurse standing by the window.She was tall, dark-skinned, dressed in sea-blue scrubs with her name tag clipped over her chest pocket. Her braided hair was pinned up neatly, and a stethoscope rested around her neck. She smiled kindly, walking over to adjust the I.V. beside me.I swallowed. My voice came out hoarse. “Is… is Raven going to be okay?”She glanced at Raven’s bed, her smile softening. “She will be. She just passed out from shock. Her vitals are stable now. What she needs is plenty of rest.”A breath escaped my lungs—relief, but it didn’t last.My voice dropped lower. “What about Ellen?”The nurse hesitated.And in that moment of silence, the panic returned. My hands gripped the sheet beneath me as I tried to sit up. “Please—Ellen—what happened to her?”“No, no, don’t get up,” the nurse said qu

  • Chasing Midnight Promises    Chapter 71: Echoes in the Stall

    I was panicking.My heart thundered so hard I felt it in my ears. My breaths were sharp and broken, like I couldn’t get enough air. Raven was limp in my arms. Her body was so still, it scared me more than whatever was behind that locked door. And the door... it was still locked.What do I do? What do I do?My brain wasn’t working. It was like my thoughts had scattered into the air, lost in the echo of Raven’s scream. My chest tightened. My hands trembled.And then, my body did what my mind couldn’t.I screamed.A piercing, gut-wrenching sound ripped from my lungs, tearing through the silence of the school washroom. It was raw. Wild. I screamed again—louder—until I could hear my own voice bounce back at me from the tiled walls. My throat burned, but I didn’t stop. I kept screaming, hoping someone would hear. Someone had to.And then I heard it—footsteps. Voices.“Where’s it coming from?!”“The girls’ washroom!”The door burst open. A group of seniors and two teachers stumbled in, eyes

  • Chasing Midnight Promises    Chapter 70: Suicide?

    After Ellen ran out, the cafeteria erupted in noise. Some students laughed cruelly, others gasped, horrified. A few got up and left, muttering curses at Noah. But Noah? He sat there like a king on a throne, unfazed, chewing his food like nothing had happened. The clip didn’t just humiliate Ellen—it burned itself into the skin of the school’s reputation. And yet, he smiled.Raven and I shared a long, heavy look. My throat tightened. We picked up our things and walked out without a word. Just as we passed Noah, he glanced at Raven. His smile didn’t reach his eyes. It was hollow—mocking.The bell rang, dragging us back to class. But nothing felt the same. Not the desk. Not the air. Not even the familiar sound of the fan clacking overhead. Everything felt too loud and too quiet all at once. The day crawled by, suffocating.When the final bell rang, Raven turned to me, her voice barely above a whisper. "We have to check on her. This is my brother's fault."I nodded. "I'm coming with you."

    Class started, but Raven sat stiff beside me, barely blinking. Her books were open, but her eyes weren’t reading. I could tell she was fighting it—trying to push Noah and the video and Ellen out of her mind. But she couldn’t. Neither could I.We thought the worst was behind us.That the filth we saw earlier was something we could bury. Something only we knew.But something was brewing. A storm that hadn’t even begun yet.And by the time it hit, nothing in this school would stay the same.Not reputations.Not friendships.Not even the truth.A while later, it was lunchtime.We made our way to the cafeteria—a wide, echoing hall with long metal tables stretching across its tiled floor. The walls were painted a soft beige, though time had faded most of the corners. The aroma of mash potatoes, fries, and overly sweet bread floated in the air, mixing with the hum of hundreds of voices. It was always loud. Always buzzing. But today, the noise felt distant.Raven sat across from me, her tray

  • Chasing Midnight Promises    Chapter 68: The Clip

    Silence swept through our classroom as Raven and I sat rooted to our seats—the kind of silence that roared in your ears. My fingers trembled slightly over my notebook, but I didn’t move. Neither did she.Then, a tear slipped down her cheek.My gaze snapped to her, stunned.She didn’t even try to wipe it. It fell, then another, until they began to stream freely, soaking into the sleeves of her uniform. I shifted closer, my heartbeat thudding in my ears. What we had seen was enough to shake anyone—but Raven crying like this? That was something else. Something deeper.“Raven?” I whispered, careful not to startle her. “What’s wrong? Why are you crying?”She turned to me slowly, her lips trembling so badly it took her a second to form a word.“I... I told him not to do it. I told him not to carry on with the bet.”She crumbled.The sob that tore out of her wasn’t soft. It was guttural. Painful. The kind of cry that tore something loose inside the chest. I wrapped my arms around her and pul

  • Chasing Midnight Promises    Chapter 67: Just the Beginning

    I had grown up watching my parents hold hands after dinner, kiss each other goodbye every morning, laugh at private jokes. I wanted that kind of love. Quiet. Gentle. Real. And Noah didn’t fit into that picture.But still... his name came up more often than I wanted. His presence was hard to ignore.Until one day, something happened at school. Something that spread like wildfire. A rumor. A truth. We didn’t know which. But whatever it was, it nearly pushed one girl to the edge.And from that day on... I couldn’t look at him the same. The mystery was gone. Replaced by something darker. Something real.Noah was no longer just Raven’s brother.He became the reason my chest tightened whenever someone said his name.And yet, that Wednesday morning felt like any other.Raven and I had agreed the night before to arrive at school early so we could cross-check our assignments before submission. By 6:45 a.m., we were already seated in our classroom, books open, pens scratching lightly against pa
