SUMMER'S POV

The afternoon chill cut right through my light jacket as I hurried down the pavement, keeping my eyes fixed on the street corner where Felix had asked to meet me. His voice over the phone had sounded entirely uncharacteristic—rushed, nervous, and echoing with an urgency that made my stomach knot up. “Summer, you need to get down to the public square by four,” he had blurted out before hanging up abruptly. Given how much our friend group had been fracturing lately, I assumed he had

    KINGSLEY'S POVThe heavy double doors of the studio slammed shut behind Summer with a concussive echo that seemed to vibrate straight through the floorboards. The sudden silence left in her wake felt deafening, thick with the bitter taste of ash and broken promises.I stood frozen for a long, agonizing second, staring at the empty doorway where she had just vanished. My chest felt hollow, scooped out by a cold, relentless hand.Slowly, the tension in my legs gave out. I sank heavily back down onto the leather stool, letting my head drop into my hands as I stared blindly at the concrete floor."Man... what the hell just happened?" Felix’s voice cut through the heavy air, sounding entirely uncharacteristic—shaky, disbelieving, and laced with quiet panic. He took a few hesitant steps forward from the mixing console. "One minute you guys were supposed to be meeting up to clear the air, and the next, Summer's storming out in tears and you look like you've just been hit by a freight train."

    SUMMER'S POVThe digital screen of my phone flashed blank, the automated voicemail clicking off with a harsh, frustrating beep. Kingsley wasn't picking up. The manila envelope holding the faded polaroid felt like a burning weight inside my pocket, scorching against my skin as the panic and betrayal fought for dominance in my chest.If Kingsley wouldn't answer, I knew someone who would.My thumb flew across the screen, tapping on Felix's contact, and I slammed the phone to my ear as I marched down the sidewalk.It rang twice before a familiar voice picked up."Summer? Hey, where are you?" Felix's voice drifted through the line, sounding slightly distracted and distant."Felix," I breathed out, my voice tight and trembling with adrenaline. "Are you with Kingsley? Did you already arrive at the place?""Uh, yeah. Actually, yeah," Felix answered, his tone shifting into something a bit more cautious. "Kingsley is right here with me in the studio. We're just waiting for you and George to sho

    SUMMER'S POVThe afternoon chill cut right through my light jacket as I hurried down the pavement, keeping my eyes fixed on the street corner where Felix had asked to meet me. His voice over the phone had sounded entirely uncharacteristic—rushed, nervous, and echoing with an urgency that made my stomach knot up. “Summer, you need to get down to the public square by four,” he had blurted out before hanging up abruptly. Given how much our friend group had been fracturing lately, I assumed he had finally pulled off some crazy plan to get us back in the same room.I reached the corner, scanning the sidewalk for Felix’s car.Instead, a sleek, tinted black sedan pulled abruptly out of the traffic lane, cutting sharply toward the curb right beside me. The passenger door swung open with a sharp mechanical click.Before I could take a step back, two heavy hands shot out from the interior. Strong fingers gripped my jacket and arm, violently dragging me off balance."Hey! What the hell—?!" I scr

    FELIX'S POVThe atmosphere inside the house had been suffocating all morning. Between Kingsley’s brooding silence, the lingering fallout with George, and the heavy tension hanging over Summer, staying at the house felt like waiting for a lightning strike. I couldn't take it anymore. Needing to clear my head and escape the oppressive quiet where nobody was talking to anybody, I grabbed my keys, jumped into my car, and headed downtown toward the familiar neon lights of the club district. I just wanted a drink, some loud music, and a temporary escape from my friends' collapsing lives.Parking a block away from the venue, I shoved my hands into the pockets of my jacket and navigated the crowded sidewalk.Right as I rounded the corner near the entrance of a quiet lounge, my shoulder collided hard with someone walking in the opposite direction."Watch it—" I started, steadying myself, before looking up into the face of the person I had bumped into.The words died instantly in my throat.St

    SUMMER'S POVThe drive back to Kingsley’s house felt like it lasted a lifetime, though I barely registered a single mile of it.Felix had arrived at the music lab exactly when Kingsley instructed, his usual loud, carefree energy completely absent. He didn't pepper me with questions like he normally would, didn't try to make awkward jokes to lighten the mood, and didn't pry into the red rims of my tear-stained eyes. He just silently guided me to his car, drove me straight Kingsley's house in absolute quiet, and the second we pulled up to the gates, he muttered something about having somewhere else to be and sped away.I let myself into the grand house with a heavy heart, the quiet, empty halls feeling suffocatingly lonely."Summer?"A familiar voice called out from the living room, startling me.I looked up to see my younger brother, Clyde, stepping out into the foyer. Before I could even process what he was doing here, he crossed the distance between us in two strides and pulled me in

    KINGSLEY'S POVThe heavy slam of the music lab doors echoed off the tile walls long after George was gone, leaving a suffocating silence in his wake.I stood frozen in the middle of the room, my jaw clenched so tight my teeth ached. I looked down at Summer. She was standing a few feet away, her arms wrapped tightly around herself, her face pale and tracked with fresh tears. The guilt radiating off her tore right through my chest, instantly pushing my own frustration aside."Summer," I murmured, stepping forward and reaching out to gently touch her shoulder. "Hey, look at me."She slowly raised her eyes, her lower lip trembling. "It's all my fault," she whispered, her voice breaking. "If I had just told him months ago... if I hadn't kept hiding everything... we wouldn't have lost him.""You didn't lose him," I said, keeping my voice as steady and reassuring as I could, though a dark, burning anger was already starting to coil in my gut. "He's hurt, and he's reacting out of anger. Give

    SUMMER'S POV I slowly woke up, also trying to fight the throbbing headache I was feeling. "Where the hell am I?" I thought. The place smelt like woods mixed with cigarettes, and another thing that smelt like lavender. "What a weird combination." I thought. I woke up fully, and observed where I w
