Jason

I was halfway through my last set when my phone buzzed on the couch. My arms trembled, sweat slicked my palms and the gym's mirrors reflected a version of myself.

I exhaled and glanced down at my screen, to know who was calling and it was Mark. I was deciding whether to pick or not.

My brother really called, so strange. I quickly clicked on the red button.

“Hey Mark,” I said.

“Hi bro,” Mark answered.

“How’re you feeling?” Mark asked.

“I’m alright, how about you?” I answered.

“I’m

    JasonI woke up to the shrill vibration of my phone rattling against the wooden bedside table. At first, it slipped into my dream like a distant alarm, something unreal and easy to ignore. But then it came again, sharp cutting through the quiet of the morning. My eyes fluttered open, heavy with sleep, and I fumbled blindly for the phone. The screen lit up the dim room for a brief second Mike calling. Before I could even gather myself enough to answer, the ringing stopped. Just like that, it ended immediately, leaving a strange silence behind.I lay there for a moment, staring at the ceiling, trying to piece together what had just happened. The quiet felt louder than the call itself, like the room was holding its breath. My thumb hovered over the screen, wondering whether to call him back, but I didn’t move. Instead, I slowly turned to my side, pulling the blanket closer to my chest.That was when I noticed the sunlight.Soft golden rays were slipping through the thin curtains, q

    ClaraImmediately Jason had left the house, I stood quietly at the doorway, staring at the space where his car had just been. The sound of the engine fading into the distance left a strange silence behind, one that felt heavier than usual. I slowly closed the door and leaned against it, my mind filled with the same question that had been troubling me since he spoke: why did he ask about my brother?I walked back into the living room absentmindedly, my steps slow and uncertain. Jason’s hug still lingered on me, warm yet unsettling at the same time. I tried to focus on normal things straightening a pillow, adjusting the curtain, and picking up a cup from the table but my thoughts kept returning to that moment. The way he casually mentioned wanting to see my brother didn’t feel entirely casual to me. It felt intentional, like he was searching for something or trying to understand something I hadn’t told him.I sat down on the couch and sighed deeply. Why now? Out of all the things he

    Jason I hugged Clara at the doorway, holding her a little longer than usual, as if I was trying to memorize the warmth of her presence before stepping out into the uncertain evening. Her arms wrapped around me, but there was something different about the way she held me tighter, hesitant, almost like she didn’t want to let go. When we finally pulled apart, she forced a small smile, the kind that tried to look reassuring but couldn’t quite hide the worry in her eyes.“I’ll see you later,” I said softly.Clara nodded, but didn’t reply immediately. Her lips parted as though she wanted to say something, then she stopped herself. I turned, opened the door, and stepped outside. The cool air hit my face as I walked toward my car parked in front of the house. My heart felt strangely light and heavy at the same time. Light because I was happy happy to be making progress, happy that Clara still cared enough to worry about me, happy that something important was about to happen. But heavy bec

    Clara I smiled at Jason, feeling both grateful and slightly tired after the long and eventful day we had just shared. A soft, sleepy smile formed on my face as I looked at him, appreciating his kindness and the care he had shown throughout the entire process. The calm atmosphere in the house made me feel relaxed, and my tiredness was beginning to show in my expression and body language. Still, I wanted to do something small to show my appreciation and make him feel comfortable.With a gentle and appreciative tone, I asked him what I could offer him. I wanted to give him something in return for all the help and support he had provided, even if it was just a small gesture. Jason looked at me and smiled warmly, shaking his head slightly as if to say that it was not necessary. However, after a brief moment, Jason insisted that if I really wanted to offer him something, I should simply get him water. Jason's request was simple and modest, showing once again his humble and considerate

    Clara Jason and I finished up our business with the sales representative after carefully going through the items I had purchased. The process had taken some time because we wanted to be sure that everything was correct and properly packed before leaving. The sales representative was helpful and ensured that all the necessary packages and receipts were included. After confirming that the items were complete and in good condition, Jason and I thanked him for his assistance and prepared to leave the premises.Once we stepped outside, we headed toward the car to organize the items before departing. I handed over the bags I had received from the sales representative, making sure they were properly sealed and easy to carry. Jason immediately took responsibility for arranging the items in the vehicle so that they would be safe during the drive. He opened the boot of the car and carefully examined the available space to ensure that everything would fit without being damaged or misplace

    Jason The car slowed gently as we approached the shopping area, and I pulled into a parking space right in front of a neatly designed boutique with large glass windows and elegant displays. The engine went quiet, leaving only the faint noise of passing cars and distant voices from nearby shops.“We’re here,” I said softly.I looked out the window at the boutique, my heart beating a little faster. The place looked expensive, the kind of store I usually only passed by without stopping. Clean glass doors, mannequins dressed in beautiful outfits, and soft lighting inside made it feel almost intimidating.I stepped out first and walked around to my side of the car. I opened the door and held it gently as I stepped down, my shoes touching the smooth pavement. The air carried a faint scent of perfume and fresh fabric drifting from nearby stores.I adjusted my bag on my shoulder and looked up at the boutique again.“Jason…” she started, but the words faded before I could finish.Befor

    ClaraThe room felt suspended for a moment, caught between disbelief and fascination. The sudden, public display between Jason and me had cracked the usual order, and everyone was still adjusting to the shift. A few attendees shifted in their seats, clearing their throats, while others exchanged

    Jason I noticed Clara before I meant to. I was seated alone on the far end of the bench, shoulders drawn inward, hands folded tightly in my lap as if we were holding something fragile together. The late afternoon light fell unevenly across the space, catching the edge of her hair and leaving h

    Jason My gaze found Aiden across the room, and for a moment, it was as if time slowed. Aiden stood near the back, a shadow among the crowd, tense and still, yet unmistakably present. My eyes lingered, drawn against my own will, as though some invisible tether refused to let me look away.I coul

I was enjoying every bit of it.And then again I asked myself what exactly was wrong with me, I couldn’t believe this was happening. I miss those days, I know how Jason handles things whenever we are
