SARAH’S POV

On our reunion day, I woke before the sun. The house was quiet, the kind of quiet that makes your thoughts louder. I padded across the room and stopped in front of the wardrobe where my dress hung, neatly pressed, waiting.

My fingers trembled as I touched the fabric. In that moment, memories rushed in—Mark’s smile, the arguments, the nights of doubt, and Jennie standing between us like a shadow that refused to move.

Tears slipped down my cheeks before I could stop them. I pressed a

    SARAH’S POVOn our reunion day, I woke before the sun. The house was quiet, the kind of quiet that makes your thoughts louder. I padded across the room and stopped in front of the wardrobe where my dress hung, neatly pressed, waiting. My fingers trembled as I touched the fabric. In that moment, memories rushed in—Mark’s smile, the arguments, the nights of doubt, and Jennie standing between us like a shadow that refused to move.Tears slipped down my cheeks before I could stop them. I pressed a hand to my mouth, breathing slowly, counting each inhale like it might anchor me. My chest felt tight, crowded with memories I hadn’t invited but couldn’t push away.“You’re awake already,” my grandma’s voice said gently.I turned. She stood in the doorway wrapped in her faded shawl, silver hair neatly tucked back, her eyes warm and steady. She had always known when I was breaking, even when I tried to hide it. She walked toward me with slow, careful steps, as if not to scare my thoughts away,

    MARK’S POVWhen I saw how broken Sarah looked, something inside me shifted.She wasn’t just crying. She was unraveling.Her shoulders shook as she sat on the cold floor, staring at nothing, her eyes hollow, like she had already left the room even though her body was still there. I walked to her slowly, unsure if she would even notice me. When I knelt beside her, she didn’t look up.I reached for her hand.Sarah flinched at first, instinctive, like someone who had been hurt too many times in one night. But when she realized it was me, her fingers loosened, then curled weakly around mine.“It’s over,” I said softly, more for her than for myself. “You’re safe now.”She didn’t answer. Her grip tightened instead, like she was afraid I might disappear if she let go.I stayed there with her, letting the silence do what words couldn’t. After a while, her breathing slowed. The sobs softened into quiet, exhausted sniffles.“I’ll take you home,” I offered gently. “You shouldn’t be here anymore.”

    SARAH’S POVMark’s hand clamped over my mouth just as my gasp tried to escape.His palm was rough, trembling slightly, pressing my lips shut as he pulled me deeper into the shadowed corner. My back hit the cold wall, my breath trapped in my chest. I could feel his other arm around my waist, holding me still—not roughly, but urgently, desperately.“Don’t,” he whispered against my ear. “Don’t make a sound.”CwwI nodded, my heart pounding so loudly I was certain they would hear it. My pulse screamed in my ears as I stared through the narrow gap between stacked crates and the half-open door.That’s when I heard Joe’s voice.Weak. Strained. In pain.Every muscle in my body is locked.“No… no, Joe,” I thought, silently, my nails digging into my palms.I listened.I listened to the slap.I listened to the shouting.I listened to the gunshot that ripped a scream out of him.My knees nearly gave out, but Mark held me upright, his breath shallow, his body rigid. I felt him flinch every time Aus

    JOE’S POV:Before I could dodge—before my brain even finished screaming move—the gun fired.The impact wasn’t loud in my body the way it was in the room. It landed on my left leg with a brutal, numbing force that stole the air from my lungs. I gasped, a sharp, broken sound escaping me as I collapsed sideways onto the cold concrete floor. The pain followed a second later, hot and overwhelming, radiating upward like fire crawling through my veins.My vision blurred. My face burned—not from shame, but from shock. I could feel the blood soaking through my trousers, warm and unstoppable, pooling beneath me.Austin didn’t rush. He never rushed.His footsteps echoed as he walked toward me, slow and deliberate, like he wanted me to hear every step. Like he wanted the moment to stretch. Austin stopped right in front of me, looming, his shadow swallowing what little light was left in the room.Before I could say anything, Austin's hand came down hard across my face.The sound cracked through th

    MARK'S POVI could feel my pulse pounding in my ears, a low roar of rage building inside me. How could she? After everything, how could she do this now, knowing I still love her? Knowing what she meant to me? My fists clenched at my sides, my mind racing with a thousand questions, a thousand thoughts crashing in.Then I heard it — a low murmur from the crowd, a ripple of excitement spreading like wildfire. And then, as if on cue, voices began to chant, louder and louder, "Marry him! Marry him!"The words hit me like a punch to the gut. The room was closing in, the noise growing deafening, and I could feel the heat rising up my neck, my vision narrowing as the reality of what was happening sank in. Joe was down on one knee, a ring in his hand, and the crowd was cheering them on. “No… no, no, no,” I muttered, shaking my head as if trying to wake from a bad dream. My chest felt tight, and I could barely breathe. Paul reached out, grabbing my arm, trying to pull me back to my seat, but I

    MARK'S POV:The restaurant was crowded, filled with the low hum of conversations and the clinking of cutlery against plates. Paul and I were seated by the window, where the sunlight poured in. I pushed my food around, barely tasting it, my thoughts elsewhere.Suddenly, Sarah walked in, her smile as radiant as ever, but my chest tightened when I saw who was with her — Joe. My jaw clenched instinctively. That man. I knew he had something planned, something dark. I’d seen enough of his schemes to know he was trouble, and now he was here with her. My Sarah. A burning anger rose inside me, spreading like wildfire. "They just sat down," I muttered, my eyes glued to them. I didn't even realize Paul was speaking until he snapped his fingers in front of my face."Hey! Earth to you," Paul called, his voice cutting through my thoughts.I blinked and turned to him. "What?"Paul’s gaze shifted towards Sarah and Joe, and then back to me. He sighed, exasperation etched on his face. "How long are yo
