Raelynn

This has to be a nightmare or some stupid prank. Or maybe karma is finally catching up with me after all my running.

I can feel Grayson’s gaze boring into the side of my head but I refuse to give him the satisfaction of acknowledging him.

“Please tell me he’s not the person you’ve assigned as my tutor.” I focus on Mr. noble my voice dangerously close to an embarrassing whine.

But it’s either he doesn’t notice or he has zero care in the world because he just ignores me and turns to Grayson.

“Grayson, you’ll be tutoring Raelynn here in chemistry from today.” He proceeds to tell the person beside me.

I finally glance at Grayson and wish I didn’t. if looks could kill I’d be six feet under. His hands are stuffed in his pockets and there's practically fire blazing from his eyes.

“Yeah, no.”

I scoff irritated. It’s not like I want this either. “I don’t want him either.”

Mr. noble shares a bored glance between us before leaning back in his seat his arms crossed. “It’s been decided. Rae

    Grayson."You know you could have just texted me back instead of calling like a psychopath," I tell Bridget, keeping my voice low as I step further away from Rae. She's still at the railing, completely absorbed in the view, occasionally glancing back with that soft smile that makes my chest tight.The city lights blur slightly at the edges of my vision—the concussion still making itself known at the worst possible moment."How dare you threaten me," Bridget hisses through the phone, her voice already high pitched with panic.I run my free hand through my hair, the motion sending a sharp pain through my skull. "Asking you to tell your daughter the truth isn't a threat, Bridget. It's called being a decent human being.""Don't you lecture me about decency, you little bastard—""Is that a no?" I cut her off, my voice turning dangerously cold. "You won't tell Rae yourself?"There's a pause, then the sound of something crashing like glass shattering against a wall. Classic Bridget tantrum.

  • On Thin Ice: A Forbidden Step Siblings Affair   Georgia and Reagan.

    Raelynn.We're sitting at a corner table in the dimly lit restaurant, fairy lights casting a warm glow across Gray's face. I'm trying to make small talk about the menu, the decor, anything to fill the silence, but Gray seems to be struggling more than he's letting on.He's staring at me with a forced smile, but his eyes keep going distant, like he's seeing something else entirely. Occasionally he winces, his hand moving to his temple where the bandages are hidden under his hair. His plate sits untouched in front of him, the pasta getting cold.He's fighting so hard to be present, to become the carefree Reagan Cooper we invented in the taxi, but I know him too well. I can see the way his mask is slipping, the pain bleeding through no matter how hard he tries to hide itMy chest aches at the sight. I don’t want to add to his burdens, today is hard enough for him."Gray," I murmur, leaning forward. "If you don't want to be here, we can go back. I'm worried I'm not helping—"His eyes wide

    Raelynn.Earlier."What do you mean Gray's been discharged?" I ask Brandon, shutting my locker with more force than necessary, my eyebrows shooting up.He had approached me immediately after my first period looking sheepish—now I know why. He runs his hand over his crew cut nervously, avoiding my gaze."He left earlier this morning. Didn't want to bother you and all."My brows knit together. I should have suspected something when he said he'd leave the hospital at night, but he seemed so exhausted and I didn't want to make things worse by pushing.Brandon runs a hand down his face, looking older than his seventeen years. "Look, I don't know if I should be telling you this, but I'm worried as hell about him. And I feel like you're the only one who can actually get through to him right now."I turn, giving Brandon my full attention, my chest tightening at the serious tone in his voice. "Tell me what?""Today," he exhales heavily, "today is the worst day of the year for Gray. It's his mu

    Grayson.The discharge papers feel like sandpaper between my fingers as I sign the last form. I made sure to schedule this for first thing in the morning—7 AM sharp—so I could get out before anyone tried to talk me out of it.Rae's at school. I told her I wouldn't be discharged until tonight, that she should focus on her upcoming exams. She would have wanted to be here, would have insisted on it, and I can't handle her seeing me like this right now.Not today.Brandon leans against the doorframe, car keys jingling in his hand. "Ready to get out of this place?"I nod, not trusting my voice.The drive is mostly silent. Brandon keeps glancing at me through the rearview mirror as I light my vape, the familiar burn in my lungs doing nothing to calm the anxiety crawling under my skin."Gray—""Don't," I cut him off, not looking away from the window. "Just... don't."He falls quiet, but I can feel his concern radiating through the car.When we pull into the parking lot of Rivers Wellness Cen

    Raelynn."Look, Rae, I'm sorry." Isaac's voice cuts through the background noise of Yara and Brandon's heated discussion about something I can't quite focus on. I shift uncomfortably, my mind racing through possibilities.On one hand, Isaac could be the psycho stalking me. On the other, he doesn't have any visible scars, and maybe he's just another innocent person being dragged into this nightmare because of me."I shouldn't have spoken to you like that," he continues, his voice softer now. "I was an asshole, but I was just upset. No one likes their friends turning against them."His gaze is fixed on me, intense and waiting, like he's studying every micro-expression on my face. Something about the way he's watching me makes my chest tighten. I nibble my bottom lip, trying to find the right words, but suddenly my head starts throbbing.My heart begins racing, hammering against my ribs like it's trying to escape. My hands start trembling, and I clutch at my chest, struggling to breathe

    Grayson.The entire room falls silent.Rae is still sitting on my lap, mostly because I'm holding her tightly, my arms wrapped around her like I can shield her from Isabella's reaction. My gaze is locked with my sister's, and the look in her eyes makes my stomach clench with dread.Brandon walks closer to Isabella, his voice gentle but firm. "Breathe. In and out. In and out."She scoffs at his attempt to calm her, and then, surprising everyone in the room, she simply turns and walks away without a single word."Well," Jace mumbles from his spot against the wall, "that was better than I expected."But I know better. I know Isabella. Silence is worse than any tantrum she could throw. When my sister goes quiet, when she retreats instead of exploding, that's when you should be truly terrified. The calm before the storm is always deadlier than the storm itself.I turn to Rae, who's studying my face with concern. "Are you okay?"I nod, though we both know it's a lie. "I'll be back. I have t
