تسجيل الدخولEmily's POV
I stood with my back to Willy, still watching the city’s reflection in the glass. Silence hung thick and suffocating. Several seconds passed before I heard his hesitant footsteps approaching, as if afraid to disturb the storm that hadn’t fully passed.“Miss,” he called carefully.I didn’t answer.“This apartment feels too quiet when you’re like this,” he continued, trying to start a conversation without touching the flame of my anger. “Maybe you’d like to sit dowRachel's POV “I don’t care.”The words came out before I could hold them. Mom looked a bit surprised. To be real, so was I.Because I rarely talked back to her like this."Noah's being never really troubled me so much," I said softly. "He's the one who liked running after me."Mom stayed silent, listening.“He joined art exhibitions, racing events, even boxing all just to prove something I never even asked for.”I bit my lip softly.“And honestly I never really cared.”The words tasted bitter leaving my mouth.Because part of me knew that wasn’t completely true anymore.I let out a long breath before slowly sitting down on the sofa.“But—”I lowered my head. “Why does it feel like every time I talk to Mom about him everything becomes full of anger?”The room instantly fell silent. I lifted my head and looked at Mom.“Why do you hate him so much?”Mom didn’t answer right away.
Rachel’s POV“I want to go home today.”The words came out fast when my mom, Emily, walked into my special room that morning.I had already got out of bed and was standing by the couch, trying to pack some of my stuff myself.Mom, who just got here, stopped right away.“What?” she asked in disbelief.“I want to go home.”This time, I repeated it more firmly.Mom’s face changed right away. She shut the door softly then walked to me, her look becoming serious. “Rachel, the doctor told you to keep resting.”“I’m already feeling better.”"You really ended up in the ER yesterday from an allergy."“I said I’m better.”I was starting to get irritated with myself.To be honest I didn’t even know why I was pushing myself so hard to go from this spot.This hospital felt nice. Very nice, really?
Sienna's POV “The side that was finally allowed to eat earlier.”Noah chuckled softly again at that. Once again, hearing that sound filled me with an overwhelming sense of relief. Because at least he could still laugh.I watched Noah reach for one of the remaining lunch boxes before carefully closing it again.“I’ll eat it later,” he said shortly.I immediately nodded. “Yes. You should.”Noah glanced at me briefly before giving me a faint little smile.That tiny smile almost made my eyes sting again.I quickly looked away, pretending to organize the food bags so he wouldn’t notice my reaction.Time passed far too quickly. Without realizing it, I glanced at the clock. Instantly, that uncomfortable feeling returned.His break would end soon. Soon Noah would go back to training again. Back into that ring. Back into a world I still couldn’t fully accept.The atmosphere slowly became quieter now. Noah looked calmer compared to last night
Sienna's POV I looked at Noah, unable to hide the emotion swelling in my chest.Just seeing him sitting in front of us like this was already enough to make me feel unbelievably relieved. The past few days had felt like a nightmare searching for him everywhere, terrified of losing contact, terrified that something had happened to him. Now he was here. Sitting quietly. Eating the food I made.It felt simple. But to me, it meant everything.Noah immediately lifted his head slightly when he saw the container I pushed toward him. His expression shifted faintly, like he wanted to protest but was too tired to actually do it.“Mom,” he murmured softly.“What?” I asked quickly.“That’s too much.”“I don’t care.”My answer came too fast, making Liam glance at me briefly. But I truly didn’t care. As long as Noah kept eating, I would keep giving him whatever he needed.I watched his hands as he opened another container. His movements were slow. He
Noah's POV Not after I saw how much they were trying to get what I was doing, even if they did not like it.I lowered my head slowly.I was just starting to see that my choices didn’t just change me.There was Mommy, unable to sleep.Daddy, constantly trying to stay calm.Then there was me - running from all things, like that would fix anything.I let out a quiet laugh under my breath.Silly. All this while, I thought I was by myself. But the fact was they were still here. Even when I kept trying to shove them far away.Finally I stopped at the edge of the road and took my phone out of my pocket. I loo͏ked at the screen for a few moments before opening my dad message from earlier that morning.Call if you need anything.Short, Simple, Very Dad-like.I stared at the note for a bit before shutting the screen
Noah's POV I took a breath before I looked at the clock on the wall. I had been at the hospital for a long time. Then I turned to Rachel.Rachel was still staring at me. Her eyes did not look away. They were not totally calm either. It was like she was waiting for me to say something.I did not say anything. A small part of me felt let down.That was stupid.I did not even know when I started hoping she would actually show up.I looked away for a moment at the hospital window. The sun was shining through the glass beside her bed. The afternoon was already passing by.I thought about the training gym. My. Dad.My thoughts went back to them. They said they were coming to the gym today. If I was gone for long they would probably start looking for me again.I rubbed the back of my neck before I finally let out a breath."Alright then." My voice so
Sienna's POV Wife.Child.I didn’t realize when my tears started falling.Not hysterical sobs. Just a slow stream that was hard to stop.Some of the café guests had started talking about the same thing. I caught the name “Liam” mentioned at the table behind us. Their tone had
Sienna's POV “I’m not starting anything,” I replied quickly.“You’re already planning strategies.”I turned and looked at him with an innocent expression that clearly wasn’t convincing.“I just want to know who my son is spending his first day in a new world with,” I said quietly
Noah's POV Rachel scoffed lightly. “Hey, I only took two wrong turns today.”“That’s a lot.”“For a campus this big? Not really.”We both smiled.The sky above campus darkened in the east while the remaining orange light lingered in the west. Other students passed around us,
Sienna's POV Noah’s figure grew farther away, blending into the flow of other students walking quickly, laughing, talking about class schedules and campus organizations. His backpack hung firmly on his shoulder. His back was straight.Tall. Grown. Ready.Suddenly, time felt like som
