Chapter 36: maybe

last update Last Updated: 2025-07-13 02:05:13

I watched Travian’s broad back disappear into the kitchen, his silhouette framed by the soft, warm light spilling from within. The faint clatter of pots and dishes reached my ears, a comforting background to the quiet storm still brewing inside me. My heart remained full—swollen with a happiness I couldn't quite describe—as I sat there, nervously playing with my fingers, twining them together and pulling them apart like some fidgety child.

Then came a knock. Sudden. Jarring. It pulled me out of the moment like a hand grabbing me by the collar.

I blinked and instinctively turned to glance toward the kitchen entrance. Travian was still occupied, his back to me, busy with something I couldn't see. I hesitated for a second, then pushed myself to my feet and made my way toward the door.

I was only dressed in one of his oversized long-sleeve shirts, the sleeves covering half of my hands, the hem grazing the top of his boxers that barely hung on my hips. My own clothes were torn—ripped with

  • MEND ME IF YOU CAN.   Chapter 39: Dain!!!!

    Sadness.Yes… I felt sadness. Not just the ordinary kind that fades with time or distraction. No, this was the kind that sat heavy in my bones, pressing down on my chest like a thousand silent regrets. It wasn’t because I had ended things with Luke — that decision, while hard, felt necessary. But what shattered me was the collateral damage. I hadn’t just ended a relationship… I had jeopardized something far more precious. I had risked our friendship — a connection we’d nurtured for years — and deep down, I knew with aching certainty that we could never go back to what we were before. Not ever again.The walk felt endless, the minutes stretching out into forever, and the street ahead looked so eerily deserted, it was as if the entire world had emptied itself out, leaving only me to wander it — the last survivor of something quietly devastating.There was only one place that felt like it could offer me shelter — only one person I could run to for comfort, for understanding, for refuge f

  • MEND ME IF YOU CAN.   Chapter 38: I'm sorry

    I stood at the edge of the rooftop, the city sprawling endlessly below me like a breathing, restless beast. The height was staggering—so high that just looking down made the pit of my stomach twist. The wind tugged at my clothes and hair, cool against my skin, and for a brief second, vertigo teased me, tempting my balance. I wrapped my arms around myself, not out of fear, but to hold in everything that was threatening to break free from inside.Even though it hurts—God, it hurts—I’ve never let myself believe that death was my escape. Not once. And I still won’t. That isn’t my way out. I came here for a reason, not because I’m weak or desperate, but because this rooftop… this strange, windblown ledge above the world… is where Luke asked me to meet him.I don’t know why he always chooses rooftops instead of a café, a park, or literally anywhere safer or more grounded. Maybe he likes the symbolism—being high up, detached, above the noise. Maybe he thinks it’s romantic. I don’t know. But s

  • MEND ME IF YOU CAN.   Chapter 37: final

    The silence thickened in the room long after Luke’s words had fallen flat, settling around us like soot in the aftermath of something scorched. It clung to the air, to my skin, to the edges of my breath—too dense to ignore, too loaded to cut through. Behind me, I could still feel Travian. Not touching. Not speaking. Just standing there, unmoving. But his warmth radiated like a low-burning flame behind my back—quiet, fierce, unrelenting.And yet... he didn’t speak.He didn’t stop Luke.And that—that—was the part that rattled me the most.Luke’s voice broke through, gentle but too hopeful. “Alright then,” he said, offering a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes. “How about tomorrow?”I managed a nod, though the motion felt hollow, like I wasn’t entirely present in my own skin. “Sure,” I murmured. “Tomorrow’s fine.”Travian’s fingers tapped once against the wooden kitchen frame. One dull, intentional thud.A single beat.A warning, perhaps.Or a statement.Maybe both.Tessa exhaled lou

  • MEND ME IF YOU CAN.   Chapter 35: yes, I will mend your broken heart.

    I woke up, drawn out of sleep by the sweet, inviting aroma that drifted lazily through the air and curled around my senses. It tugged gently at my stomach, causing it to growl in eager anticipation. Blinking myself awake, eyes fluttering open like reluctant petals in the morning sun, I was welcomed by the sight of his beautiful, smiley face—so bright, so warm—that for a moment, it felt like the room itself glowed with his presence.Warmth pooled in my chest, spreading like sunlight on cold skin. And somewhere deep inside, butterflies stirred to life, flapping softly, excitedly. My belly danced with their fluttering wings, a silent celebration of the man who made my mornings feel this magical."I made you lunch," he said softly, his voice dipped in tenderness as he settled on the bed beside me, balancing the tray of food carefully on his thighs.I smiled instinctively—the kind of smile that doesn’t ask for permission from the brain. It just blooms, wild and free, born from something re

    Then, ever so slowly, he pulled his head back, his lips gliding along my shaft with an agonizing tenderness, only to descend again, taking me whole. He repeated the motion, again and again, every stroke of his mouth building a devastatingly beautiful pleasure inside me. It was so intense, so overwhelming, that I couldn’t stop the tears from spilling over, rolling silently down my cheeks like a stream too full to hold back.My breath hitched, and I gasped aloud, crying out his name—the name I had grown to love, to crave, to whisper in the depths of my soul. And when I said it now, it came out like a song, a soft prayer full of longing and awe. It sounded beautiful—more than beautiful, it sounded right. I opened my eyes through the blur of tears, and there he was, still staring up at me with those soulful eyes, now brimming with tears of his own. Yet he never once looked away.That gaze… it anchored me. I felt seen, acknowledged, wanted—no, worshipped. Just as he had promised.His warm,
