Dear best friend's brother, kiss me while you can 108.
☆☆SUMMER’S POV☆☆🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹I wish none of this had happened.Maybe if Jake and I hadn’t gone to the cafeteria… maybe he wouldn’t be lying here now, battered and broken, his face bruised and swollen, his body trembling in restless sleep.The doctor said he’d recover… but words don’t always heal wounds. I sit here, my chest tight, staring at him, guilt clawing at me until I feel sick. I just want him better. Trust is; I’m afraid of losing Jake. I don’t wanna lose him. I don’t want to lose Hayden either. And yet, the cruel truth gnaws at me: if keeping Hayden means letting Jake go… I might have to. And that thought alone makes me hate myself. How do I let go of my best friend? And worse of all, I think Tara doesn’t like me anymore. She never said she liked me before or that she didn’t. But at least, she wasn’t this cold.🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹Hayden re-entered the living room. His eyes met mine. He smiled. I gave him a weak smile in return as he walked toward me.“She’s gone,” he announced. “Wan

♡♡HAYDEN'S POV♡♡“Mine.”The word slid out of Jake’s bloody mouth again. His voice was wrecked and shredded. His face was worse. Summer slipped her hand away but he caught her again. In his unconscious state he still wanted her.Her lips trembled, her eyes wide with tears. She didn’t pull away anymore. She didn’t deny his claim either. She stared at him with so much affection. My chest burned.“You heard him, nugget,” I said, my voice low. “Now answer me. Are you his?”She whipped her gaze to me, panic flashing across her face.“Hayden, please—”“Don’t ‘please’ me. Answer.”Her throat bobbed. “He’s delirious. Take a long look at him.”I did. She shook her head and said,“Does he look like he knows what he’s saying? He doesn’t. And you know that.”“That’s not what I asked.” I crouched beside her. My jaw flexed. “Tell me, Summer. Right here. Right now. Are you his?”Jake coughed, groaning, and tightened his weak hold on her fingers. “Summer…” His voice cracked into the same cursed word:

☆☆SUMMER'S POV☆☆I fought harder, screaming his name, but the girls held me tighter, dragging me out of the cafe. People just watched—eyes darting away the second mine met theirs. Some looked guilty, others bored, a few even amused. Not one of them moved. I guessed the fraternity and the sorority had made quite the name for themselves.“No! Stop it! Let him go!” I screamed.Outside, they threw Jake onto the pavement. The night air hit him hard. Before he could stand, a kick drove into his ribs. Another fist slammed down. Jake coughed blood onto the sidewalk.Justin stepped forward, towering over him. “This is what happens when nobodies mouth off.” He raised his fist again and brought it down. Jake’s head snapped to the side.“Stop it!” I screamed, hot tears streaking my face. “Please, you’re killing him!”But no one listened. The frat boys laughed, boots connecting with Jake’s stomach, his back, his face. Each hit jolted through me like it landed on my own skin. Feet rained on him li

☆☆SUMMER'S POV☆☆Matteo’s phone buzzed. And that was how the subject about Kat left the chat. Matteo checked his phone. His demeanor instantly changed. I could tell it he was worried about something or someone. “Is everything alright?” I asked.He gave me a small smile. “Group meeting with some friends,” he replied. “ I’ll see you later.”“Sure,” I said, watching him head off.And right on cue, Jake slid in beside me like he’d been waiting. Hood low, eyes sharp.“Come with me. Let’s go eat at the cafeteria.”I laughed under my breath. “Since when do you order me around?”“Since you don’t take care of yourself.” His mouth curled, almost smug. “So I will.”I gave him a look. “And when did you become my nutritionist?”His mouth twitched. I groaned, but followed anyway. The café was right outside the campus. It was loud, students everywhere. We found a corner booth. Jake leaned forward before I’d even set my bag down.“Forget what Tristan said,” he muttered.My eyes narrowed. “Excuse me

♤♤JAKE'S POV♤♤Hiding in the library didn’t suit me at all. Hoodie up, hood low, no one noticed me tucked behind the shelves. At least, not Summer. From here, I had the perfect view of her and… that new guy. Matteo Grimaldi. Even his name sounded like a threat. “Strong emotions,” he said, voice low enough to vibrate through the silence. “Like obsession.”Summer froze, and my jaw clenched.Obsession.Was this Matteo guy obsessed with Summer? I wondered. Looking at him from this angle, I’d say he was. I hadn’t even planned to follow them. I was on my way to a cafeteria. But then I saw Summer step out with him.Matteo, walking too close, talking too low. And just like that, I changed course. My feet moved on their own, shadowing them down the corridor, into the library’s silence.Every time Summer and I tried to hang out, if Hayden wasn’t calling, Matteo was. He was always hovering around. Always stealing minutes that should’ve been mine.She said he was just a coursemate. I quote, ‘Jus

☆☆SUMMER’S POV☆☆🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹It had been a week since we returned to New York. Jake and I had been doing great together again, just like old times. He was still getting used to me dating Hayden, so we didn’t really talk about it. Instead, we talked about school and every other thing—except my relationship.And Hayden… Hayden was the opposite of easy. He was fire, sharp edges, addiction carved into my veins. Every day with him made me fall harder, even when I swore there was no further down to go.🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹The lecture hall was too bright. I’d been awake since five, cramming for a test that never happened. Now, my brain was tethering to the edge of unconsciousness. Three cups of coffee sloshed in my stomach, but apparently, caffeine couldn’t substitute for an actual functioning brain.“Bella? Bella?”My eyes snapped open. Matteo smirked at me, pointing toward the lecturer who was droning on about neurons and transmission. I hadn’t realized I’d been asleep for the past five minutes—
