Mag-log inSienna’s POV
As I slid the key into the lock and pushed open the door to my apartment, I could feel Liam’s eyes on my back. Silent. Unassuming. Yet still pressing against me like an unwelcome weight.I stepped inside without a word. No goodbye. No thank you. I thought that if I held onto my silence long enough, he would finally understand—that I still wanted distance. That I still wanted to hide the wounds that had never fully healed.But deep down, I knew that from this day forSienna's POV I was lying on the bed. I saw Noah with bandages on his arm and shoulder. There were scratches on his face. It hurt my chest.“Noah." My voice was weak.I quickly walked toward him.Then I saw someone else.Rachel.She was standing beside Noah’s bed. I stopped moving for a moment.Why was she here? All my emotions got mixed up. I felt a big surge.I looked at both of them. "What exactly happened?" I asked, my voice shaking but firm.Noah glanced at me briefly. He looked really tired. "I’m fine, Mom.”That answer made me mad. "Fine?!" I repeated. "You call this fine?!”My hand pointed at his injuries. "Look at yourself Noah!”He was silent. I stepped closer. Stared at him. "Now explain everything.”My tone was firm. There was no room for avoidance. "Why haven’t you been going to college? Why did you l
Sienna's POVMy phone started ringing while I was sitting in the living room trying to calm down. For some reason today felt off. I had been feeling uneasy all day ever since Noah walked out the door.I looked at my phone. It was a number I did not know. My heart started beating right away. I answered it. "Hello?"The person at the end sounded very serious. "Good Afternoon is this Mrs. Sienna?""Yes this is me.""We are calling from the hospital. We need to tell you that your son, Noah is here because he was in an accident -"Everything just stopped."What?" My voice was shaking. "An accident?""Yes, ma'am. He is being taken care of now. We think you should come here soon as you can."My hands started shaking fast. "Yes I will be there."I do not even remember how I ended the call. My phone almost fell out of my hand. "Noah." I said it out loud softly.
Noah's POV I looked at her. I wondered why she had that look on her face. Why did she even care about me?Rachel took another step closer to me. Her eyes were fixed on me like she was scared I would fall apart. "You have done enough," she said in a voice but I could hear the firmness in it.Her hand went up a little like she wanted to touch me. She stopped herself.I let out a laugh. It was a laugh. "Enough?" The word sounded strange to me. I shook my head a little. A sharp pain went through my head. "Not yet it is not enough."I tried to take another step. My legs gave way. I lost my balance. If my coach was not holding me I would have fallen on the asphalt again."Look at yourself Noah," my coach said loudly. I did not turn around. I did not care. I was looking at Rachel."I promised," I whispered to myself. "I said I would win."Rachel shook her head quickly. This time she
Noah’s POVThe end line was coming near, more clear with each moment and I could sense it I was nearly there. My hands gripped the handles tight, my breath not steady but my brain was focused on one thing, winning.I turned the gas harder, and the pace shot up right away. The breeze hit my body while the motor loud like it was driving me ahead, giving my willpower."I can do this," I said softly, my mind getting clearer. I looked to the side and saw one rider still trying to keep up, not wanting to lag behind.No, I wouldn't let him. I pushed the speed more, not caring about the strain growing in my body as I closed the gap to finish.Just a bit more. It's nearly there. But then I saw it, a sharp turn before the finish line.I ought to hav͏e eased up. I ought to have watched the turn slowly, thought about each move like I was taught to do.But I did not. I was too fixated on the end point, too ca
Noah's POVAs soon as I stepped outside I took a deep breath. The morning air felt fresh. My mind was not calm at all.I put on my helmet. I got on my bike. The engine. It made me feel excited.I closed my eyes for a moment. I thought about Rachel, the promise I made to her all the training I did and the pain I felt. Today I would show her what I can do.I opened my eyes. I started riding my bike without waiting. There was no going now.The sound of engines was loud as I entered the racing area. I could smell the asphalt, gasoline and heat.This place was full of energy. People were everywhere cheering and shouting. The other racers were already ready.I stopped my bike. Took off my helmet. Today I would find out if all my hard work was worth it.My eyes looked around the crowd until I found Rachel.She was standing near the stands, alone. She looked very elegant. She
Noah's POV Today is finally here.I stood in front of the mirror taking a breath as I adjusted my jacket. My helmet was already in my hand. My gloves were resting on the table.My heart was beating faster than usual. Not because I was afraid. Because this was something I had to win. One of the things I had promised Noah had to do.I looked at myself in the mirror. There were still bruises on the corner of my face and my body felt tired. My eyes were full of determination.I said to myself. "I have to win."Without waiting longer I stepped out of my room and headed downstairs. Soon as I reached the living room I saw Mom already standing there as if she had been waiting for Noah.My steps slowed slightly."NOAH!" I Looked at mommy.."Where are you going now?" she asked, her voice calm but filled with suspicion.I let out a breath. "I am going out for
Sienna's POV There was something in Liam’s voice earlier that felt different. Not something obvious, not like he was lying, but a small pause, as if he were holding something back. His tone had been softer, more careful. Usually, when he was out of town for work, Liam would talk lightly, ev
Sienna's POV After everything was set on the breakfast table, I glanced at the clock and realized Noah must be fully awake by now. There was no way that child would fall back asleep after leaving his room earlier. I walked over to him, sitting on the sofa hugging his stuffed toy, his eyes st
Sienna's POV I followed them to the front door. Liam opened it, holding Noah’s back so the child wouldn’t run out too fast. Before stepping outside, Liam turned slightly.“Sienna, take care of yourself.”I smiled gently. “Always.”The door closed.And the house felt a little
Sienna's POV Liam burst out laughing, nearly choking. “See? That’s why you have to eat other things too. Daddy bought salad as well.”Noah stared at the bowl of salad as if it were an alien object from another planet. “But that’s leaves.”“Leaves that make you stronger,” Li
