Dark Secrets Between Roommates Chapter 207
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 202
Chapter 202 AidenEric walked the tree line with his hands shoved in his pockets like he was doing me a favor just by breathing out here. Which, fine. Maybe he was.“Show me exactly where the note was,” he said.I pointed at the fence post near the edge of the property, right where the wood had started to gray and split from years of weather. He crouched down and looked at the dirt like it owed him money.“Footprints are gone,” he said. “Rain last night probably wiped them out.”“Great. So we’ve got nothing.”“I didn’t say nothing.” He stood back up and brushed his knees off. “I said the footprints are gone. I still know what my dad said.”“Then say it. All of it. Not the version you gave me over eggs this morning.”Eric looked at me for a second like he was deciding whether I’d earned the rest. I guess I had, technically, given what I’d agreed to just to get him talking in the first place. I hated thinking about that deal. I shoved it down and waited for him to start.“About three w

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

Aiden’s POV “Do you want me to f*ck you harder?” Chris’ voice is deep and sexy. “Yes, yes. Please I’m com-” "Shh, baby. You need to call me by my name," he whispered. "Chris, Chris... please..." I begged. "No, no, no." He shook his head, signaling that I had given him the wrong answer. His sha
