Chapter 149

Aiden

I let out a frustrated breath that turned into a quiet whimper when the cold touched a particularly dark bruise. He did not stop. He worked over both hips with the same slow attention, cold then warm, cold then warm, until the memory of Ethan’s hands felt further away and the only thing left was the controlled pressure of this man who still had not taken the mask off or told me his name.

This was not how he usually moved. That thought kept circling. The mystery man I remember

    Chapter 215AidenThe driveway was longer than it looked from the gate.By the time I reached the front steps, my shirt was stuck to my back and my legs felt like I’d climbed a mountain. The front door opened before I could knock, and Reyes was standing there himself. No butler. No housekeeper. Just him, in a gray sweater and slippers, holding a cup of tea like I was a neighbor who’d come to borrow sugar.“You walked,” he said. “From the bus stop. In this heat.”“I don’t have a car.”“No. You wouldn’t.” He stepped aside. “Come in before you faint on my porch. I’d hate for anyone to see that.”I came in.The house was cold inside, the kind of cold that costs money. Everything was white. The floors, the walls, the couches nobody ever sat on. He led me into a big room with glass on three sides and plants everywhere, and he sat down in a wicker chair and crossed his legs.He didn’t offer me a seat. I didn’t take one.“Where’s Ethan?” I said.He raised an eyebrow. “Ethan?”“Ethan. My roomm

    Chapter 214AidenChris showed up at my dorm the next morning at eight with two coffees and the look of someone who hadn’t slept at all.“You look terrible,” I said, letting him in.“Good morning to you too.” He handed me a cup and sat on the edge of Jovian’s old bed, the one with no sheets on it anymore. “Ethan texted at three.”My stomach tightened. “And?”He pulled out the ugly flip phone and turned the screen toward me. At the top it just said Ethan.Mr. Jerry called last night. Told Reyes he was wrong about Aiden. Reyes told his guys to back off. For now.I read it twice. “For now.”“For now is better than yesterday.”“You sound like a fortune cookie.”“I sound like somebody who stayed up all night so you could sleep.” He took a sip of his coffee and made a face. “This is terrible. Why is campus coffee so bad?”“Because it’s free and made by people who hate us.” I sat down on my own bed across from him. “Okay. Now tell me why.”“Why what?”“Why any of this. Why three grown men wi

    Chapter 213 Aiden Chris got up without answering and came back from his bedroom with an ugly little flip phone, the kind my grandpa used to have. He set it next to the envelope.“This is how I know most things,” he said.He opened it. There was only one contact. It said E.“Ethan,” I said.He nodded.“Ethan’s okay?”“Alive. Okay is a strong word. He called me once from Reyes’s landline and sounded bad, and someone walked in before he could say much. So I paid Reyes’s housekeeper three hundred dollars to slip this into Ethan’s laundry.”“Why didn’t you tell me?”“Because you’d have wanted to go get him, and the last person who tried to take something from Reyes ended up dead.”The flip phone buzzed. Chris read it and his jaw went tight. He turned it so I could see.Jerry called R this morning. Said the tutor was sitting on the curb outside his house yesterday. Said the tutor is the problem, not his son. R believed him. R is looking for Aiden now.I read it twice.“He saw me,” I said.

    Chapter 212AidenI stood in the doorway of my dorm room and stared at the hoodie on my pillow for a long time.Black. Soft. Tags still on. Folded exactly like the one I found on my bed the first week of school, the morning I asked the whole room who left it. Jovian said not me. Ethan said not me. Chris sat by the window typing with his headphones on like he couldn’t hear a thing, and I stood there and thanked the goddess out loud like an idiot.I didn’t need anybody to explain this one.Jovian was locked in a psych ward. He’d called me three nights ago on a stranger’s phone and got caught after three minutes. Ethan was stuck somewhere with Reyes and couldn’t even answer a text. That left one person who knew my size, knew my room, had cash to throw around, and had shown up every single time I got into trouble this year like he had a map.I shoved the hoodie in my bag and walked back out.Chris’s building had a doorman now. That was new. He looked at me, my duffel bag, my sweaty face,

    Chapter 211JovianRian was already at the corner table when I walked into the rec room, and he didn’t look up.That was new. Every other day he looked up the second I came through the door, like he’d been counting the minutes. Today he was bent over a sheet of paper with a stubby pencil, drawing something with his tongue poking out of the corner of his mouth, and he didn’t notice me at all.I stood there longer than I needed to. Then I felt stupid for standing there, and I walked over and sat down across from him.“Hey,” I said.“Oh. Hey.” He glanced up and smiled, easy, like he’d forgotten I existed until that exact second. “Sorry, I’m almost done with this. Give me one minute.”“What is it?”“You’ll see.”I waited. He drew. He didn’t cheat at cards with me or make fun of my pudding or bump my knee. He just drew, humming something under his breath, and I sat there feeling weirdly left out of my own table.“Okay,” he said finally, and turned the paper around.It was the old man from

    Chapter 210RianEverybody in this building lies about something. The trick is picking which lie you can live with.I watched Jovian walk into his room that night and close the door without looking back, and I stood in the hallway a little longer than I needed to, staring at the dent in the wall with his blood still dried in the cracks. The aide yelled lights out a second time, louder, like I hadn’t heard her the first time. I heard her. I just didn’t care.I went back to my room and lay down on top of the blanket with my shoes still on, which is against the rules, and I touched the bandage over my eyebrow and thought about how easy it was.Not the push. The push hurt like hell. My head bounced off that door frame hard enough that I saw little white dots for a minute, and I’m not going to pretend I wasn’t scared, lying on the floor with Jovian standing over me looking like somebody had scooped him out and put a stranger in his skin.The easy part was after.He crouched down next to me

    Aiden’s POV The second I finally got my headphones back on and the bass hard enough to rattle my teeth, I thought maybe, just maybe the universe was giving me a five-minute break from being its personal punching bag. Laptop open, I was trying to prepare the materials concerning my scholarship,

    Aiden’s POV Dr. Patel kept clicking through screens like my entire future wasn’t hanging by a thread, muttering about “system flags” and “additional documentation” while I sat there nodding like a broken toy, hoodie still knotted around my waist, ass stinging every time I shifted. She finally pri

    Aiden’s POV I stood there against that brick wall outside the subway exit for what felt like forever, just breathing in shaky little bursts and wiping my face on my sleeve like that would erase the last twenty minutes. My jeans were fucked ripped open at the back seam, hanging half off one hip, th
