HER: Secrets I carried alone Chapter twenty seven: Maybe she was right
Jay left early the next morning.He didn't make a big deal out of it. Just said he had something to do and that he'd call later. But even in the way he spoke, I could tell something was slightly different from the night before. Maybe he was thinking too much.Maybe I was. Or maybe we were both just pretending nothing shifted.Because something did. I stayed in bed for a while after he left, staring at the space he had been sitting like it would give me answers if I looked long enough. It didn't. All these guys.I wish I was done with all this shenanigans. Eventually I got up and started fixing my bed just to keep my hands busy. The kind of quiet in the room wasn't heavy, just annoying. Like it reminded me of things I didn't want to sit with yet. I was still adjusting the bedsheet when the door opened and Ella walked in like she owned the place. "I just saw Jay downstairs," she said immediately.
HER: Secrets I carried alone Chapter twenty six: I didn't say it back
Jay was still looking at me like he was trying to figure me out. I shifted slightly, pulling the sheet up without thinking. He noticed, of course. He always did. "You know something?" he said."What?" I replied. He exhaled lightly. "I don't think I've ever had to try this hard before." I raised a brow. "Try what hard?""To get someone to actually be with me," he said. "Not just be there, but be there." I gave a small smile. "I am here."He shook his head. "You are, but you're not ,you know - here, like all in" That made me look at him properly, I laughed. "And what exactly does 'all in' mean to you?" I asked. "It means I don't feel like I'm guessing with you," he said. "Like I don't have to keep wondering where I stand." I didn't answer immediately.Because I knew what he meant. I just didn't know if I wanted to give him that. Then he said it."I love you, Anna." Just like
HER: Secrets I carried alone Chapter twenty five: Almost said it
Ella didn’t even knock properly before walking in. “Anna, get up. I have news.”I didn’t move from where I was lying. “If it’s not food, I don’t care.” I was really really hungry, I hadn't had something to eat that morning, laziness.“It’s better than food,” she said, dropping her bag. I finally looked at her. “That’s a lie already.” “We’re going swimming this weekend.”I blinked once. Then sat up slowly. “Who is we?” She pointed between us. “Don’t act like you don’t know.” I stared at her for a second, then laughed. “Oh, you’re serious.”“Very.” I shook my head, still smiling. “Ella, I don’t swim.” “So?” she said. “You’ll learn.”“With who? You?” I asked.“Yes,” she said confidently. “That’s even worse,” I replied. “You’ll leave me in the deep end and go and start doing TikTok.” She gasped. “I would never!”“You would,” I said, laughing. “You’ll forget I exist the moment water touches your body.”
HER: Secrets I carried alone Chapter twenty four: Dancing with danger
I opened the door and Jay was there. He didn't step in immediately like he used to. He just looked at me for a second like he was trying to figure something out about me before I even said anything. "You're home," he said. "I said I was," I replied and moved aside so he could come in. He walked in slowly and this time he didn't just sit like before. He actually looked around a bit like he was noticing things he didn't notice before. I closed the door and turned back to him, and the silence came quickly between us. He didn't sit right away. Instead, he looked at me properly. "You've been ignoring me lately," he said. "You started it, I'm fine," I answered quickly, like I already had the response ready. He nodded but it didn't feel like agreement."I had some things to take care of" .It felt like he was just holding the thought. Then he said, "And I know you're not fine cuz you always say that."I shrugged slightly, trying to keep my
HER: Secrets I carried alone Chapter twenty three: Things I forgot on purpose
When I got back to school, everything looked the same. Same buildings, same noise, same people moving around like nothing had changed. But something felt off. Not around me. Inside me. I dropped my bag on the bed and sat down slowly, staring at nothing in particular. I thought coming back would distract me, that once I was here again, everything would just settle. But it didn't. My dad's voice kept replaying in my head. "I'm sorry."That word was supposed to mean something. It was supposed to fix something. But it didn't, and I didn't understand why. I leaned back slightly, letting out a small breath, and that's when the thoughts started. Not the usual overthinking. Something else. Memories.Small ones. The kind you don't even realize you've forgotten, or maybe I knew but I preferred to forget. I remembered waiting. Waiting for him to show up, waiting for him to call, waiting for something that always felt like it was coming but never really
HER: Secrets I carried alone Chapter twenty two: Like it would change anything
I didn't text Jay again. Not because I was trying to be strong or anything deep like that. I just didn't feel like chasing something that clearly didn't want to be chased. Seen. That was enough information. So I left it. And for once… I didn't overthink it. A few days later, my phone rang. I stared at it before picking up."Hello?" There was a pause. Then a voice I hadn't properly heard in a long time. "Anna… it's your dad."I went quiet for a second. I knew who he was but why was he calling me. "…Okay," I said slowly. "Hi.""I want to see you," he said. That was it. No explanation. No warning. Just that.I sat up properly. "Why?" Another pause."I'll explain when you come." I should have said no. I almost did. But I didn't. "…I'll come," I said.Going back home felt strange. Like I was walking into something that once belonged to me but didn't feel like mine anymore. When I got there, he was already sitting in
