Jackson

Saturday morning wasn’t anything like I’d pictured.

I should’ve been riding high after last night — we’d pulled off a huge win under the lights, the kind of game that everyone in town would be talking about for weeks. The crowd was wild, the field electric. Afterward, Coach had walked me over to meet the recruiter I’d been dreaming about since summer.

He told me I had real potential, that I’d caught his eye.

It was the exact moment I’d been working for.

I should’ve woken up today floating on that victory.

But instead, I sat on the edge of the couch, elbows on my knees, staring at the closed hallway door that led to Jessa’s room. My stomach twisted like I’d swallowed a rock.

She hadn’t come out once. Not for breakfast. Not for water. Nothing.

Something had happened last night — something bad.

I saw Noah kiss her, and yeah, that had been a shock in itself, but I could tell from Jessa’s face afterward that there was more to the story.

I hadn’t even been able to talk to her about

  • Invisible To Her Bully   Chapter 112

    JessaThe diner felt different today.Less like a spotlight, more like a bubble — the kind of safe, familiar place that didn’t care about gossip or rumors.The four of us had taken over one of the corner booths at Benny’s, same spot we always used to squeeze into when we were younger. Jackson and Noah on one side, Mariah and me on the other. The sound of plates clattering, the smell of syrup and bacon, and the low hum of conversation filled the air. For once, it felt easy.Mariah was stirring her iced coffee, tapping the straw against the cup. “Okay, so be honest,” she said, glancing at Jackson. “Are people still talking about yesterday?”Jackson groaned, dragging a hand down his face. “Mariah, you kissed me in front of half the school. Of course they’re still talking about it.”“Yeah,” Noah said with a smirk. “You’re kind of trending, man.”Jackson shot him a glare. “Not helping.”Mariah grinned. “I’m just saying… the internet can be brutal, but it can also have a short attention spa

    NoahI’d seen a lot of wild things in my life — a fight breaking out at a pep rally, Jackson trying to microwave a Pop-Tart in the wrapper, even Jessa roasting Daniel so bad he practically melted.But nothing, nothing, topped watching Mariah Morales march across Benny’s Diner and kiss Jackson Lombardi like they were in some dramatic teen movie climax.The diner went dead silent. Then exploded into whispers.Even the cook peeked out from behind the order window.Across from me, Jessa just stood there, eyes wide, frozen mid-step like her brain hadn’t caught up yet. Then her hand flew up to cover her mouth — part shock, part oh my god, did that just happen?I leaned back in the booth, trying not to grin. “Well,” I muttered, “that’s one way to kill the gossip.”Jessa shot me a look, somewhere between disbelief and amusement. “Did she seriously just—”“Yep,” I said. “Full send. Zero hesitation.”Mariah had guts. I’d give her that.Jackson, for his part, just stood there for a second lookin

    JacksonBenny’s was packed like it always was on Sundays — football guys crammed into booths, someone’s little brother running between tables, the smell of syrup and burnt coffee in the air.It was exactly the kind of normal I needed.Noah sat across from me, pushing scrambled eggs around his plate, his baseball cap pulled low like he could hide from the world. I didn’t blame him. If I saw one more post, one more comment, I might throw my phone through the diner window.“Dude,” I said, leaning back in the booth. “We should just delete our socials and move to Canada.”Noah snorted. “You hate the cold.”“Fine. Florida. Whatever. Somewhere without cell service.”He cracked a small grin, which felt like a win. We’d spent half the night talking about everything and nothing — the fight, our parents, the team. Things still felt heavy between us, but at least we weren’t avoiding each other.The bell above the diner door jingled, and I barely glanced up — until I heard a familiar laugh.Mariah

    MariahI sat on the Lombardis’ couch, one leg tucked under me, sipping from a to-go cup of coffee that had gone lukewarm about ten minutes ago. Upstairs, Jessa was still getting dressed — which could mean anything from five minutes to forever.The house was quiet, sunlight spilling in through half-closed blinds, dust motes floating in the still air. For once, it didn’t feel like the center of gossip or drama or chaos. It just felt… normal.Almost.I glanced at the screen of my phone again, checking the time, then the messages. Jackson hadn’t answered my last one from last night, and it was bugging me more than I wanted to admit.I typed out another, thumbs hovering for a second before I hit send.M:You alive, Lombardi?The typing bubbles popped up almost immediately.J:Barely.M:That bad, huh?J:Nah. Just trying to pretend things are normal. Breakfast at Benny’s with Noah.I smiled a little. Benny’s — the unofficial Sunday hangout for half of Ridgeville High. Piles of pancakes, to

    JessaThe house was too quiet the next morning.Not peaceful quiet — the kind that comes after a storm, when everything feels like it’s still vibrating from the damage.I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, my head pounding from another sleepless night. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw it all again — Mom’s shocked face, Jackson’s voice cracking as he yelled, the way the air had felt so heavy I could barely breathe.Now it was Sunday morning, and the silence felt like punishment.I could hear the faint clatter of dishes downstairs, the sound of Mom moving around the kitchen like she was pretending nothing had happened. She always did that — filled the space with busy noise when things got too hard to talk about.I dragged myself out of bed, pulled on one of Jackson’s old sweatshirts, and padded down the hall. His bedroom door was still closed. I hesitated outside it, listening for movement. Nothing.He hadn’t said a word to me since last night.When I walked into the kitchen, Mom was

    NoahIt was close to midnight when my phone lit up.I’d been lying in bed staring at the ceiling for over an hour, headphones in, music playing low just to drown out my own thoughts. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the flashes of last night — Daniel’s smirk, my fist connecting, the shock on everyone’s faces.So when I saw Jackson’s name on the screen, I sat up fast.“Hey,” I answered, voice low. “You good?”A pause. Then a bitter laugh. “Define ‘good.’”I leaned back against my headboard. “That seems to be the question of the week.”Jackson exhaled into the phone, a long, shaky breath. “I just blew up at my mom.”That made me frown. “About what?”“Everything,” he said, his voice rough. “Jessa, the fight, the way she didn’t know what’s been going on… me.”I rubbed the bridge of my nose. “What happened?”He hesitated for a second, then the words just poured out. “She found out about all the crap online — the stuff about Jessa. She saw the comments, the videos. Asked why I didn’t stop
