MasukRachel's POVMy mother did not answer. She looked at me with a face but there was something in her eyes that I could not understand."That is why?" she said finally "if he still wants to push himself then it means he has already made up his mind."I became quiet again. My mothers words sounded cold and too sensible."Sometimes," she said softly, "people like that will not stop, no matter how worried we are."I swallowed hard. My chest felt tight. "So we are just supposed to do nothing?" I asked quietly.My mother gave a smile. "Not nothing. You need to know what you can and cannot do."I frowned. "What do you mean?""Yes," she said. "There is a line between caring about someone and getting too involved in their life."I looked at my mother trying to understand what she meant."You are allowed to worry about Noah. That is normal. Do not feel like you are r
Rachel’s POV It has been three days. Three days since Noah ran away from the hospital. Three days since his parents came to my house with expressions that I just cannot forget. I am standing by my bedroom window staring at the garden without seeing anything. My thoughts keep going to Noah and his last message. [I’ll continue boxing training.] I bite my lip. "That is crazy." How could Noah do that? He was just in an accident. His body has not recovered yet. Still he ran away. Now he is training again? My hand tightens around my phone as I open the chat again. Noah's message is still there. Short and casual as if nothing is wrong. As if he is fine. Noah is not fine. I let out a breath and my emotions got all tangled up. I feel annoyed at first, sharp and immediate. Beneath that I feel something else. I am worried about Noah. If he wants to prove something why does he have to do this? Why does he have to hurt himself like that? "Noah is an idiot." I whisper to myself. I try
Noah's POVMy shoulder hurts my stomach hurts my face hurts. Even breathing is hard.I am still here still holding on.The locker room door. Someone walks in but I do not look up right away.I hear footsteps and then a bottle of water appears in front of me."Drink!" My coach says.I look up at him. He is standing there with a blank face like always.I take the bottle without saying much. “Thanks."I drink the water away and it feels good on my dry throat.We are quiet for a seconds and then my coach sits down across from me.He is watching me. I can feel his eyes on me.I close the bottle slowly. Put it down and my eyes go to the floor for a moment before I look up again.The room is quiet. All I can hear is our heavy breathing from training.My coach is still looking at me. His eyes are not as sharp as they wer
Noah's POV The scent of sweat and fake leather struck me as soon as I walked into a training room.The ring was still there. Just like always.Shiny lights hung over it, showing each spot with no place to hide.I took a big breath. My body right away complained.The hurt was still all around. My arm felt big, my belly got tight each time I took a deep breath, and the cuts from yesterday’s mishap still hurted.But I kept going ahead. I didn’t have the time to stop.“You’re late.”My coach’s voice came from the ring.I turned. He was there, arms crossed, looking at me closely.“Sorry,” I replied shortly.I put my bag on the floor and started to wrap up my hands. My moves were slower than normal.Not because I was lazy. But because it hurt.“Get up!”The command was brief.I didn’t answer
Siennas POVIt was quiet again.Liam spoke up after a while.“I will make dinner.”I shook my head even though Liam might not have seen me do it. "I do not feel like eating.”A few seconds. Liam did not say anything. Then Liam came into the room.“You need to eat something." Liam said.I turned to look at Liam.And before I knew it my voice was a little stronger. "I said I do not feel like eating.”My voice was a bit harsh. I did not have the energy to say sorry.Liam was quiet for a moment then he nodded a little. "Alright.”Liam did not say anythingThat made my heart feel even tighter.I leaned back on the sofa. Stared up at the ceiling. Time passed. I did not know how much time passed. All I knew was that I could not stop thinking.Wher
Sienna's POVI was afraid.Scared to open that door and really feel how empty our home was without Noah.Scared to see the truth that Noah may not get home today.Tomorrow.. Who knows when.I closed my eyes for a moment held my breath then opened them“Liam," I called softly.He glanced at me.“If Noah really pulls away." I paused, my voice trembling again, "can we still bring Noah back?"The question hung in the air, Heavy and Painful.Liam looked at me for a few seconds. Didn’t answer right away. Maybe because he knew there was no answer to that.I gave a bitter smile.“Sorry." I said quietly. "I’m asking many questions."I took a breath again then exhaled slowly trying to calm myself trying to accept the situation even though I knew I wasn’t ready.When the car finally stopped in front
Sienna’s POV This pain didn’t arrive all at once. It came slowly—like rain leaking through a roof. Drop by drop, silent and unnoticed, until everything was soaked. That’s how I lost everything—quietly and gradually. I forced myself to stand and walk over to the desk. I opened the email I had rece
Sienna’s POV I stood for a moment at the doorway, letting the midday light seep through the strands of my tangled hair. The room felt stifling—like my heart. How many days had I shut myself away like this? Everything seemed to spin so fast, yet strangely slow. Outside, the world kept turning. Mean
Sienna’s POV Everything began to move quickly. Emily was busy rifling through drawers, opening little boxes in her room with a frantic expression—one I couldn’t tell was genuine or just another performance. Liam hovered nearby, overseeing the chaos, while Noah scurried around asking questions, as
Sienna’s POV My heart felt crushed from the inside. How did this home—once filled with laughter, love, and sacrifice—turn into a prison of blame, hatred, and exile? Liam... the man I once proudly called mine, the one I once called home. Now he doesn't even have a shred of trust in me. He just sto
