Dark Secrets Between Roommates Chapter 208
Chapter 208JovianThey took Rian’s phone the same night I used it.The night aide caught me with it pressed to my ear in the corner of the rec room, and she didn’t even yell, which was worse. She just held her hand out and waited until I put it in her palm, and then she walked it straight to the nurse’s station like she was carrying a dead bird.I didn’t sleep. I lay there thinking about Aiden’s voice on the other end going higher and higher, and the way the call cut off in the middle of me telling him to find Eric, and I kept wondering if he heard that part or if the last thing he heard was just me saying “somebody’s coming” like some idiot in a horror movie.Rian didn’t show up to breakfast.He didn’t show up to group either, or to lunch, and by the afternoon I’d convinced myself they’d shipped him off somewhere worse because of me. I sat in the common room with my thumb running up and down the seam of my sleeve so hard I rubbed the skin red.He finally dropped into the plastic cha

Chapter 207 Aiden I didn’t sleep. I sat on the edge of my bed until the sky went gray, calling Eric’s number every half hour just to hear the same recorded woman tell me it wasn’t in service, like maybe she’d change her mind if I kept asking.She didn’t.By six in the morning I had my duffel bag packed again, the same one I’d unpacked three weeks ago thinking I’d finally gotten somewhere safe. I zipped it closed and sat there staring at it, because packing was the easy part. The hard part was downstairs frying eggs and humming like everything was normal.My mother turned around from the stove the second I walked into the kitchen with the bag on my shoulder, and her whole face dropped.“No,” she said. “Absolutely not. Put that back upstairs.”“Mom.”“You told us you came home for the summer. It’s not the end of summer.”“I know.”“Then why are you standing in my kitchen at six in the morning with a bag like you’re running from the police?”My father came in from the back door with mu

Chapter 206 JovianThe facility called it a wellness room, which was a stupid name for four white walls and a bed bolted to the floor so I couldn’t move it, but I’d stopped arguing about the names of things weeks ago. Arguing took energy I didn’t have, and every ounce of energy I did have went toward the one thing that actually mattered, keeping my head quiet enough that the other one didn’t get a chance to come out and ruin something else.They’d started calling it that, officially, in my third week here. Dissociative identity, not bipolar like my dad kept saying at first before the doctors corrected him in front of me like I wasn’t even in the room. He still says bipolar sometimes, out of stubbornness more than confusion, because bipolar is a word he can say at his country club without anyone flinching, and the real word makes people’s faces do something he can’t stand watching.Dr. Whitlow, my actual doctor, explained it to me slow and careful the first time, like I was something

Chapter 205Chris I found my father in his study that night, the same room where I’d stood the week before reading his own handwriting back to myself like it belonged to a stranger. He looked up from his desk when I walked in and didn’t seem surprised, which told me something on its own, my father is rarely caught off guard by anything I do, and that’s usually because he’s already three steps ahead of wherever I’m about to go.“I read the Harlan file,” I said. No warm-up. I’d decided in the car that warm-up would just give him room to steer this somewhere softer than it needed to be.He set his pen down slow, the way he does when he’s deciding how much of the truth to hand somebody. “Then you already know more than you should.”“I know you wrote watch the boy in your own hand. I know Reyes is paying to keep this quiet. What I don’t know is why you’re the one who agreed to be part of it.”My father leaned back in his chair and looked at me for a long moment, and I watched something in

Chapter 204 ChrisAiden had been gone six weeks, and I spent most of them pretending I was fine.I want to be honest about that up front because I’ve spent enough of this whole thing lying to people I claim to care about, and I’m tired of doing it even in my own head. I was not fine. I got up every morning, went to my summer classes, showed up for my father’s Sunday dinners like a good son, and every single one of those things felt like moving through water that had gotten thicker since the last time I’d tried it.The apartment felt wrong without him in it, which was stupid, because he’d never actually lived there, not officially, he’d just been in and out of it enough times that some part of my brain had started treating it like his space too. I’d walk past the guest bathroom where I’d cleaned his cuts that one night and feel my chest go tight for no reason I wanted to look at too closely. I kept the black box locked in the same drawer. Never opened it. Told myself that was restrain
Dark Secrets Between Roommates Chapter 203
Chapter 203 Aiden Eric’s phone rang on Saturday morning while we were sitting on the porch steps, sharing a bag of chips my mother left out for us, and I watched his whole face change the second he looked at the screen.“It’s my dad,” he said, and the words came out flatter than I’d heard him say anything since he showed up here.“I thought he wasn’t back till Sunday.”“He’s not. He’s calling from the coast.” Eric stared at the phone like it might stop ringing if he waited long enough. It didn’t. He answered on what had to be the sixth ring, his voice sliding into something easy and normal that didn’t match the way his hand had gone tight around the phone. “Hey, Dad.”I sat there pretending to eat chips while I listened to one half of a conversation that made my stomach drop lower with every word Eric said back.“No, I’m still at Aiden’s, yeah.” A pause. “I know it’s been a while.” Another pause, longer this time, and Eric’s jaw worked like he was chewing on something he didn’t want
Dark Secrets Between Roommates Chapter 15
Aiden’s POV I walked in an awkward, uneven way, trying to hide how sore I felt. By the time I reached Eric’s door and knocked, my legs felt weak and shaky. I was already regretting not calling in sick, but bills don’t pay themselves and I needed this. Eric opened the door fast like he had been wai

Aiden’s POV I bolted back to my room like my ass was on fire, slammed the door so hard the posters on the wall fluttered, then just stood there with my back pressed flat against it, chest heaving, trying to pretend my brain wasn’t actively melting down around me. I saw it. I fucking saw it. But my

Jovian’s POV I’ve always been the safe one, the quiet one, the guy who sculpts everything out of clay because it’s “art” and not because I’m horny twenty-four seven, but let’s be real, half the time it is because I’m horny, and the other half it’s because Aiden’s the only person I’ve ever wanted t
