His to Ruin: Breaking Chelsea 118
PANIC BUTTON{Playlist Suggestion: "Ribs" by Lorde / "Medicine" by The 1975}~EMMA POV~For the first twenty minutes, I actually thought we were going to pull this off.Jason's house was packed—like, fire-hazard packed—but Chase didn't seem to mind. I kept my fingers locked through his, acting like a human shield against the elbows and the spilled drinks.He was quiet, looking around with these wide eyes like he was trying to memorize the chaotic ecosystem of a high school party. We passed the kitchen, where a couple was aggressively making out against the fridge. Like, full-on devouring each other.Chase stopped dead. He blinked. Then he looked at me."Do they know they're in a kitchen?" he whispered loud enough for me to hear over the bass. "That's unsanitary."I snorted, covering my mouth. "It's high school, Chase. Hygiene is optional.""Gross," he muttered, but he was grinning.We kept moving. I spotted my friends from the café—Sarah and Mike—by the sliding glass doors. I pulled

LATE BLOOMER{Playlist Suggestion: "Electric Love" by BØRNS / "Teenage Dream" by Katy Perry}~CHASE POV~The cab smelled like pine air freshener and old cigarettes.I sat in the back, my knee bouncing up and down so fast I thought I might vibrate right through the floorboard. I checked my phone for the tenth time in two minutes.Emma: 'You better not be bailing on me, Lynch.'Emma: 'The music is bad. I need backup.'I smiled at the screen. My thumbs flew over the keyboard.Me: 'Relax. My chariot awaits. Or, you know, this yellow taxi with a check engine light on.'Me: 'ETA 2 mins. Prepare to be dazzled by my ability to stand in a corner awkwardly.' I hit send and leaned my head back against the seat.I couldn't believe I was actually doing this.The last time I went to a "party," I was twelve years old. It was a birthday party at a bowling alley, and I spent the whole time feeling dizzy because my body was already starting to attack itself, I just didn't know it yet.After the diagnos

WHICH K?{Playlist Suggestion: "Illicit Affairs" by Taylor Swift / "Happier Than Ever" by Billie Eilish}~CHELSEA POV~The noodles were cold.They sat in the Styrofoam bowl in front of me, a congealed lump of sodium and regret. I twirled my plastic fork into them, but I couldn't bring myself to take a bite.I sat at our tiny, wobbling dining table, wearing nothing but a pair of old shorts and a white tank top that had seen better days. My hair was thrown up in a messy bun, but strands kept falling into my face, and I kept aggressively tucking them back.My phone screen glowed on the table.Kade: 'When are you coming? I'm going crazy in here.'Kade: 'Nurse Ratched just threatened to take my phone away.'Kade: 'I miss you, Chels.'My heart squeezed painfully. I missed him too. I wanted to go to the hospital. I wanted to crawl into that narrow bed and hide in the crook of his neck until the world stopped spinning.But I couldn't.Because going to the hospital meant risking running into

BRO CODE{Playlist Suggestion: "Brother" by Kodaline / "I Lived" by OneRepublic}~KADE POV~"You suck at this. I don't care that you're the Captain now, your defensive strategy is trash."Denver laughed, mashing the buttons on the controller I had forced him to bring from the dorms. "Shut up, Kingston. You're just mad because I'm winning.""You're winning because I'm on narcotics," I grumbled, tossing my controller onto the hospital blanket. "Rematch. Once the room stops spinning."Denver set his controller down on the tray table. The TV screen blinked with the 'GAME OVER' screen, filling the quietness of the sterile room. For the last hour, it had felt almost normal. Just two guys, a console, and stupid trash talk.But as the game music faded, the reality of the beeping monitors and the huge black brace on my leg rushed back in.Denver leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. The laughter faded from his face."How are you holding up, man?"I stared at the ceiling tile I had

THE DEVIL'S CHAIR{Playlist Suggestion: "Earned It" by The Weeknd / "Desire" by Meg Myers}CHELSEA POVMy cheek still throbbed.It was a dull, rhythmic ache under the layer of foundation I had slapped on in the staff bathroom, a constant reminder of this morning's screaming match."You drove him away!" my mother had shrieked, her hand connecting with my face before I could even flinch. "Samuel loved me, and you ruined it!"I had laughed then. A cold, broken sound. "Samuel would leave you for a bottle of rubbing alcohol if he was desperate enough, Mom. He never loved you. He loved the roof over his head."She hadn't liked that. The slap had been her answer.Now, eight hours into a double shift at The Mirage, my feet were numb, my head was pounding, and the guilt was starting to eat through the anger. Not about Mom—I was done feeling guilty about her—but about Kade.I had promised to go to the hospital tonight. I had promised to be his date to the Gala.Am I making a mistake? The ques

BROTHERHOOD OF THE DAMNED{Playlist Suggestion: "Way Down We Go" by KALEO / "Family Business" by Kanye West}~KOLT POV~Hospitals were boring. They were white, they smelled like bleach and sickness, and the coffee tasted like battery acid.I sat in the uncomfortable guest chair, legs stretched out, balancing a bag of moldy vending machine popcorn on my stomach.Across the room, Knox was pacing a hole in the linoleum. He had his phone pressed to his ear, his face a shade of red I usually only saw on Kade after a sprint."I don't care what the projections say, Cody!" Knox roared into the phone. "If you liquidate those assets before the quarter ends, I will personally come down there and take apart your portfolio piece by piece!"Kade flinched in the hospital bed. He looked miserable. His leg was propped up like a monument to failure, encased in black plastic and velcro."Why are you guys even here?" Kade groaned, rubbing his temples. "My head hurts. Knox is loud. And you're just... eati
