Ethan burst into the room holding my backpack like it was some lost item he had rescued. He dropped it on my bed with a thud and stared at me. “Dude, what the hell. You just left your stuff at the library table and disappeared. I waited like twenty minutes thinking you went to piss or something. Why did you come back here without packing up?”

My face went bright red instantly. I felt the heat crawl up my neck and burn my cheeks. I opened my mouth but nothing came out. Just silence. I sat t

  • Dark Secrets Between Roommates   Chapter 206

    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

    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

    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

    Chapter 201 Aiden “I need your help,” I said. “Not with last night. With who’s watching me.”Eric didn’t even look impressed. He sat at my family’s table like he belonged there and took another bite of toast.“No.”“That’s it? No?”“That’s it.” He chewed, swallowed, and finally looked at me. “You want me to sort out a watcher for you after you spent all morning trying to put a knife to my throat. Find him yourself.”“You know things you shouldn’t know,” I said. “You knew about the note. You knew what would work on me. You heard your dad talking about this family. So help me figure out who is standing outside my house.”Eric set the toast down.“This isn’t my house,” he said. “If someone is watching it, that’s your problem. Your porch. Your windows. Your family. I can walk out the front door and go home and none of this follows me unless I let it.”“You already let it,” I said. “You used it. You walked into my room with it. You don’t get to pretend you’re just a guest now.”His mouth

    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
