POV: Abigail

The moment I step into the house after school, everything feels wrong.

The air is too still and the silence is too heavy. My steps echo as I walk down the hallway.

I drop my bag near the stairs and head to Nathan’s room before I even think about anything else.

Something inside me pushes me toward his door and I open it slowly.

The room is quiet as I walk in and look around.

His closet door is still open from last night. His desk is messy.

But something is different. A few of his j

    POV: NathanI sit on the floor of my motel room with my clothes all around me. I don’t even know what I’m looking for anymore. I pull out a shirt, throw it aside, then pull another one. Nothing feels right. Nothing fits how I feel.My phone lights up again.It’s Ricky.I stare at the screen while it vibrates.He calls again.I let it ring.Then again.I let it ring too.I drop the phone on the bed and run my hands over my face. I don’t have the strength to talk to him. What am I supposed to say anyway? That I ran from the police? That my friends blamed me? That I am hiding in a cheap motel because I don’t know what to do?I breathe in slowly.I haven’t eaten since yesterday. My head hurts. My chest feels tight. Everything is a mess.And Abigail…I swallow hard. I shouldn’t think about her, but I do. I think about her more than anything else.I remember that night.When I reached the warehouse. I saw the boys arguing with Luca and… Abigail. She was there, shaking, scared, and still st

His desk is messy.But something is different. A few of his jackets are gone.His watch is missing from the nightstand. His black backpack is not in its usual spot.His phone charger is gone.The shoes he always wears to school are missing too.My heart speeds up.“He didn’t come home,” I whisper to myself. “He didn’t come home last night. And he didn’t come home this morning either.”I grab my phone fast. My hands shake as I unlock it.I stare at my mom’s number.Maybe I should call her. Maybe she knows if Ricky talked to Nathan. Maybe he told them somet

  • Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother)   Eighty six: The Weight of Accusations

    POV: AbigailThe police car stops in front of the station, and my stomach sinks.The bright white lights above the entrance hurt my eyes as the whole building feels loud even from outside.Officers walk in and out fast, talking into radios. My hands shake as the door opens.“Out,” the officer says.I step out slowly and Luca steps out from another car beside mine. He gives me a worried look.His face looks tired and confused. Adrian and Gajeel are dragged out of the third car, both handcuffed.Adrian has an angry look like he wants to fight again. Gajeel looks scared and keeps shaking his head at the officers.“Move,” an officer orders.We are pushed toward the entrance. My legs feel weak.The floor inside is cold under my shoes and the bright fluorescent lights make everything feel too sharp.I feel small as officers walk past us, talking loudly with firm voices.One of them grabs my shoulder. “You’ll be questioned in a separate room,” he says.“But—” I begin.“No talking,” he cuts m

  • Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother)   Eighty five: Dragged From The Dark

    POV: Abigail“Ah—!”The sound rips out of me as someone grabs me from behind and my voice shakes as I’m being pulled backward.My shoes scrape against the gravel and my heart jumps hard in my chest.I kick my legs, but the hand around my waist tightens while another hand covers my mouth.I try to scream again, but all that comes out is a muffled, and shaky sound.My back hits something solid and I feel crates behind me, blocking any chance of me escaping.I twist and try to yank myself free, but the grip is too strong.“Calm down,” a voice whispers in my ear and my whole body freezes.I know this voice.I know it even through my fear.The hands drop away from my mouth, and the person pulls me deeper into the dark space behind the crates.I stumble as he pushes me toward the shadows.“Luca?” I whisper.He steps into the small amount of light behind us, and his face appears.He looks shaken, angry, and tired all at once. His chest rises and falls fast, like he ran all the way here.“Wha

  • Rebel Attraction (In Love With My Stepbrother)   Eighty four: Into The Shadows

    Abigail's POVI shuffle closer, squinting, trying to see, when a hand covers my mouth from behind.I inhale, somewhere between a gasp and getting the wind knocked out of me, as an arm wraps around my waist and yanks me backward.I kick up the gravel with my heels and I flail, hands grasping nothing. "You're not supposed to be here," a voice-which isn't my voice but sounds like my voice-whispers, and this time I imagine how its breath must smell.It's not Nathan - I'd recognize his voice anywhere.My eyes blur as I'm dragged back into the darkness, not knowing who is behind me or what he or she wants.I couldn't shout as whoever it was prevented me from doing so.I'm I in danger? "Shhhh!" The fellow cautioned and placed a finger on his or her lips.Although it was dark, but I could connect the shadows of this figure.This was definitely a girl before me, even though she was putting on a big shirt-a hood."Claire?" The name slipped out of my mouth-my voice barely above a whisper.I sai

    Abigail's povI am hunched in Nathan's closet, breathing slow and shallow, the must of old clothes heavy in the air.My heart thumps so loud that I'm certain he can hear it as his footsteps creak closer.The door to his room creaks open, and I look through the narrow beam of light that runs between the closet door and the door frame.Nathan's silhouette blocks the doorway, his shoulders stiff, his strides quick.Him muttering to himself, words I can't quite make out, but his voice is so agitated, I shiver. Fix this. Gotta fix this.He walks to his desk and yanks open the drawer where I discovered the burner phone.My hand tightens on a coat, hoping he doesn't see anything wrong.He picks up the phone, turns it on, dials, his back to me. "Gajeel," he hisses, low and biting."You're going to want to control this.She's asking a lot of questions, and if she messes anything up, I swear - "My stomach lurches.Is he talking about me? Or Claire? Whoever it is, Gajeel and his buddy, says som
