Unspoken words

After dinner—or should I say that very embarrassing interrogation session—Aiden and I escaped to the balcony. I couldn’t exactly take him to my room. I didn’t want to start World War III… not tonight at least. Arnold, ever the unbothered peacekeeper, stayed inside to distract the parental units.

I leaned against the railing, arms crossed, watching the sky swallow the last of the sunlight.

“Sorry about earlier,” I said after a beat, not looking at him. “My dad can be a bit... intense. And you answering all those questions didn’t help.”

Aiden stood beside me, mirroring my posture. “Honestly? Not the worst dinner I’ve ever been to.”

He paused, then added, “Your mom’s cool. Your dad might secretly hate me, but your brother? Pretty sure he loves me. So, it all balances out.”

I laughed, shaking my head. “You’re totally insane. No sane person would say that after being grilled like that.”

He turned toward me slightly, his voice dipping softer. “For what it’s worth… I meant what I said in the

  • Nightmare turned love    Old spots

    Nova’s POV The moment Eli’s text came through, I didn’t even wait for Aiden to finish whatever he was saying, I was already halfway out the door. I’d been asking him why he showed up with Ty, but honestly, none of it mattered now. Eli needed me, and that was the only thing I cared about. If he was heading to the rooftop, it could only mean one thing: Ty had managed to crack him open again. But at least this time, Eli had texted me instead of just vanishing like he usually does. That was progress. I made it there in record time, or at least what felt like record time. While I was half sprinting up the stairs, the bell rang, signaling the end of lunch, but I didn’t slow down. Guess I was skipping class today. When I reached the rooftop door, I pushed it open just a little, peeking in. And there he was, Eli crying. Not the quiet, hold it in kind of crying, but the raw, heart-wrenching kind that made my chest ache just watching him. And standing next to him, of all people was A

  • Nightmare turned love    Healing

    Eli’s POVI didn’t know why I stayed.I should’ve walked out with Arnold like I promised myself I would, to protect my heart, to keep my dignity intact. But instead, I was here, standing in front of Ty, my chest tight and my feet glued to the floor, waiting for him to speak.Almost every bone in my body ached, though I couldn’t even explain why. I wasn’t a doctor, but I was pretty sure heartbreak wasn’t supposed to be this physical. My heart, however, was strangely still like it was holding its breath, waiting for one word from him that could either shatter me or somehow make this pain worse.I couldn’t let myself break down here. Not in this hallway. Not in front of dozens of people who’d eat this up like the latest school drama. If I had to, I’d walk away before I let that happen.“Are you going to keep staring at me?” I finally asked, my voice low. “I thought you said you only needed a few minutes.”“You don’t have to be so mean to me, Eli,” Ty said softly.God, that hurt. He thoug

  • Nightmare turned love    Conflict

    Arnold’s POV Eli looked so peaceful while he slept. If I hadn’t been there, hadn’t seen him bawling his eyes out just a few hours earlier, I probably wouldn’t have believed it. His face was calm now, like none of it had ever happened. I didn’t know if it was selfish of me to bring him to my room, but I couldn’t just stand there and watch him break without doing something. If I couldn’t comfort him while he cried, the least I could do was make sure he got a good night’s sleep. It hurt to see him like that. I didn’t know why exactly, but it did. Standing in the corner, watching him cry over someone else… yeah, that stung. But my feelings didn’t matter right now. Honestly, I didn’t even know what they were. All I knew was that I wanted him to be okay. I wanted to help him get through this, even if that just meant sitting in silence or lending him clothes. If that was all I could do, then fine. I was okay with just that. He was too much of a sunshine soul for me to be okay with

  • Nightmare turned love    A break

    Nova’s POV The moment I woke up and got dressed for school, I skipped straight to Arnold’s room. I gave the door a soft knock, and it opened in seconds. “What the hell are you wearing?” I asked, blinking at the sight of Eli in Arnold’s clothes. They were almost the same size, so it fit him well, but the style? That was another story. The outfit looked so serious, so plain, it was basically allergic to color. I nearly burst out laughing. I didn’t think Eli even owned anything this boring. “Your brother’s clothes, duh,” he said, as I walked in, still eyeing him. He looked way better today, not necessarily emotionally, but physically at least, he didn’t look like someone who cried for hours last night. I didn’t know what genes he had, but I needed a bottle of them. “But why are you wearing them?” I asked, still chuckling. “Because there’s no way he could go home, change, and still make it to school on time. Nova… think!” Arnold chimed in, walking in with a plate of toast in hand.

  • Nightmare turned love    Being There

    Nova’s POV As I flung open the door and my eyes landed on Eli’s tear-filled ones, my heart shattered. “Am I welcome here?” he asked, still wearing that perfect smile through his tears. I didn’t respond, I just pulled him in, wrapped my arms around him, and shut the door behind us. He didn’t have to say anything. I already knew. Ty must’ve told him. And thank God he didn’t choose to go through it alone again. “You’re going to be alright, Eli,” I whispered, holding him close and letting him cry it out. That’s all I could do right now. I didn’t know how long we stood there, surrounded by silence and muffled sobs, but when he finally pulled away, his beautiful eyes were swollen. Arnold had been standing at the corner the whole time, watching us with an unreadable expression. When Eli stopped crying, he finally stepped forward. “You feeling better?” I asked, guiding Eli toward the couch. His legs were probably jelly at this point. He gave a soft nod and sat down. “I’ll get

  • Nightmare turned love    Pull Away

    Eli’s POVI stared at the message that had just popped up on my screen.“Can we talk?”That was it. No fluff. No delay.Just… that.I guess Ty finally decided I was worthy of the truth.The past few days had been pure torture. Hiding behind smiles only made it worse. I wasn’t even sure why I kept faking it, why I tried so hard to act like I was okay with the possibility of him moving away.Maybe I thought if I didn’t acknowledge it, it wouldn’t happen.Or maybe that’s just how I’ve always been.But the ache I felt wasn’t just mine.I felt it for him too.Being forced to leave because of shitty parents and a part of himself he hadn’t even fully figured out yet it was unfair. All of it.As much as I liked him, deep down, I knew if this was really happening... I’d have to let him go.And damn, that thought alone made breathing a task.I hadn’t even told Nova.Because I knew her. She would’ve marched into Ty’s house, confronted his parents, and flipped the entire city upside down if it me
