A Night That Changed Everything Chapter Ninety-Four
Ava’s POV“How are you doing?”“I am fine, doctor.”The answer came out too quickly. I felt it myself—the thin edge of performance that never quite covered fear. The doctor stood beside the bed with his bag open on the side table, calm in the way professionals stayed calm when powerful men waited in the background. Corren remained near the door, not leaving, not yet interrupting. Callista had not followed us upstairs. That small mercy did nothing for the larger dread sitting under my ribs. My palms were damp against the sheet. Every polished object in the room felt too still, as if the walls themselves were listening for the wrong answer.“How is your stomach doing?” the doctor asked.“It hurts.”“Constant or coming in waves?”“Both. It started sharp. Now it stays.”“Where exactly?”I hesitated, then rested my hand lightly below my navel. “Here. It started at school. Sharp at first. Now it’s… lower. Constant.”He nodded and drew the chair closer. The legs made a soft sound against the
A Night That Changed Everything Chapter Ninety-Three
Ava’s POVI went to the sick bay to receive treatment.The school nurse had taken one look at my face after Maya walked me in and decided arguments could wait. She checked my temperature, asked short questions I answered carefully, and told me to lie down. The bed was narrow and covered in stiff white sheets. The room smelled of antiseptic and cold metal. Outside the half-closed door, ordinary school noise continued as if nothing in the girls’ bathroom had threatened to follow me home.“Any dizziness?” the nurse asked.“A little.”“Nausea?”“No.”“I’ll note it down. Rest for now.”Lying on the bed, I was still thinking about whether Callista had actually heard me or not.She must have heard me and Maya’s conversation. The way she smiled. The way she repeated pieces of it—pains, no period, the whispered question. The promise to tell Corren. *Let me see what would happen when I tell him.* The words looped until they felt louder than the ache in my stomach. What should I do? Tell him fir
A Night That Changed Everything Chapter Ninety-Two
Ava’s POVJust then the door opened.My heart skipped when I saw Callista.She entered the girls’ toilet with the same neat composure she had worn all morning, as if the cafeteria scene had been only a warm-up and this was the quieter room where the real damage got done. The door swung shut behind her. For one suspended second the dripping tap was the only sound in the room. I was already shivering at the thought that she had heard our conversation—Maya’s question still hanging in the air between us, the word still too new and too loud in the tiled quiet. My palm wanted to return to my stomach. I forced it to stay where it was.Callista went straight to the mirror above the sinks.She watched her face the way some girls watched for damage after a fight, turning her chin slightly, smoothing a strand of hair that did not need smoothing. The fluorescent light made her look polished and calm. Maya’s hands were still around mine. Neither of us spoke. We only watched her, frozen in the far
A Night That Changed Everything Chapter Ninety-One
Ava’s POVMaya held my hands.Her fingers closed around mine before I could fully fold forward over the pain. The cafeteria noise continued around us—trays, voices, Sebastian’s presence still too close—but her mouth was already at my ear, voice low and tight.“What is it?”I tried to stand up properly. The twist under my navel flared again, sharp enough to thin my breath and turn the bright cafeteria lights briefly harsh. Before I could step clear of the table, Callista held my hand.“You didn’t say anything,” she said.Not concern. Not really. Curiosity edged with the same performance she had been running since Sebastian sat down and told her he loved her in front of half the room. Her grip was light, but it was enough to keep me visible, enough to keep the moment from ending on my terms. I could still feel the ghost of her earlier clap in the air between us.Maya looked at Callista.“Would you leave her now, or—”The rest of the sentence did not need volume. It landed in the look Ma
A Night That Changed Everything Chapter Ninety
Ava’s POVAs I heard what he said, I just realized that I was a fool and a dumb ass.*I love you, Callista.*The words sat in the air above the cafeteria table like they belonged there, like they had not been impossible only minutes earlier when he was still a boy who had used my body and then my silence. He used me. Now he was trying to use Callista. The pattern was so clean I almost laughed. Almost. The sound never made it out of my throat. All I could taste was the thin metallic edge of humiliation and the leftover sweetness of the drink I had not finished at my own table.She smiled as she looked at him.Not the careful smile from the estate sitting room. Something softer. Something performed for the exact distance between her face and his.“So fast,” Callista said. “How can you love me so fast?”Sebastian’s smile deepened, practiced and warm, the same smile that had once made a corridor feel smaller. “So you believe in first-time love?”She was blushing. I could see it in the col
A Night That Changed Everything Chapter Eighty-Nine
Ava’s POVI stood up so fast my chair scraped the floor.Maya looked up from her tray. “Ava—”“Come.”I was already moving. The cafeteria blurred around me—trays, voices, the bright ordinary noise of break—while I crossed toward the windows where Callista sat with Sebastian angled toward her like he had all the time in the world. Maya followed without another question. That was her way. Present when the temperature changed.Sebastian saw us coming.I expected him to shift, to make space, to put some distance between himself and Corren’s daughter. He didn’t. He looked at both of us and smiled, easy and unbroken, as if the weeks of silence between us had been nothing more than weather.“What’s up, Ava?” he said.That was the first thing out of his mouth. Casual. Familiar. Warm enough to sound harmless.I stopped at the edge of the table and set my hands on the back of the empty chair across from him.“What are you doing with my sister?”Callista’s head turned sharply. “Ava?”Sebastian l
