Pieces of Me He Never Protected chapter 61:shadows that doesn't leave
Josh did not check his phone until he and Diamond had walked halfway down the dim campus road.The streetlights had started coming on one after another, casting long yellow pools of light along the quiet path. Students passed occasionally, but the evening crowd had already begun to thin.Diamond walked beside him calmly, her steps unhurried.Josh slid his hand into his pocket and pulled out his phone.Two notifications.Both from Peaches.He opened the messages.Josh, are you busy?A second message came a few minutes later.I really need to talk to you.Josh frowned slightly.Peaches had been texting more frequently lately.More calls.More messages.More… emotions.He typed quickly.What’s wrong?Send.He slipped the phone back into his pocket before Diamond could notice.“What?” Diamond asked casually.Josh blinked.“What do you mean?”“You frowned,” she said.Josh forced a small smile.“Just something Daniel sent.”Diamond nodded.“Hmm.”They continued walking.But Josh’s phone buz

Pieces of Me He Never Protected chapter 60: possession
The strange thing about Josh was that he could juggle chaos and still feel entitled to control.Later that evening, he was sitting with Diamond under the large tree behind the faculty building. It was one of the quieter parts of campus, where students came when they wanted privacy or simply a break from the noise.Diamond sat beside him on the low concrete ledge, her legs crossed calmly while she scrolled through her phone.Josh watched her for a moment.There was something about Diamond that had started bothering him lately.Not in a bad way.Just… different.She was too calm.Too steady.Most girls he had dated eventually became emotional. They asked questions. They demanded explanations.Diamond didn’t.And strangely, that made him more aware of her.“What are you looking at?” he asked.“Nothing important,” Diamond replied without looking up.Josh leaned slightly closer, trying to see her screen.Diamond tilted the phone away casually.“Private.”Josh frowned slightly.“Private?”D
Pieces of Me He Never Protected chapter 59: Quiet tests
Diamond did not text Josh that night.Not because she was angry.Not because she wanted to punish him.But because she understood something about Josh that he himself didn’t realize.Josh was most comfortable when everything felt normal.When no one questioned him.When no one demanded explanations.When life moved smoothly without confrontation.So Diamond let it stay normal.The next afternoon, the campus was buzzing with its usual energy. Students walked in groups between lectures, vendors called out from small stalls, and the smell of fried snacks drifted through the air.Diamond spotted Josh leaning against the metal railing outside the cafeteria.He was scrolling through his phone with the relaxed focus of someone used to living inside conversations.When he noticed her approaching, his face brightened immediately.“Hey.”Diamond smiled faintly.“Hi.”Josh straightened and slipped his phone into his pocket.They began walking toward the cafeteria entrance together.“How were you

Diamond’s room was quiet.The night outside had settled fully now, and the faint glow from the hostel corridor slipped through the bottom of the door. A small desk lamp on Diamond’s table lit the room with a soft yellow light.Josh sat beside her on the bed, leaning slightly against the wall while scrolling through his phone.Diamond had moved to the chair near her table, flipping slowly through the pages of a book she had taken earlier.Neither of them were talking.It wasn’t uncomfortable.Just quiet.Josh liked quiet moments like this with Diamond. They were easy. Calm. No questions. No pressure.His phone buzzed again.Josh glanced down.Peaches.“Josh… did I ask something wrong earlier?”He stared at the message for a moment.Then he typed quickly.“No. Don’t worry about it.”Send.He locked the phone and placed it beside him.Diamond looked up from her book.“You seem busy tonight.”Josh shrugged lightly.“Just people texting.”Diamond closed the book and rested her chin in her
Pieces of Me He Never Protected chapter 57: Questions peaches was beginning to ask.
Peaches sat on the small plastic chair beside her hostel window, her phone resting loosely in her hand.Outside, the evening noise of campus drifted in students talking in the corridor, someone laughing loudly downstairs, music playing faintly from another room.But inside her room, it felt quiet.Too quiet.Her eyes moved back to the last message Josh had sent.Maybe.She read it again.And again.Peaches didn’t like the word maybe.It wasn’t yes.But it wasn’t no either.It was the kind of answer people gave when they didn’t want to commit to something.She sighed softly and leaned her head back against the wall.Josh hadn’t always sounded like this.When they first started talking — just a few weeks after she resumed school — he had been different.More available.More attentive.He used to call first.Used to ask about her day before she even mentioned it.Back then, everything had felt easy.Natural.But lately something had changed.Not dramatically.Just small things.Small pa
