PHOEBE

“I just don’t understand what went wrong,” I said for probably the hundredth time that week.

Mom rubbed my back gently while Grandma held my hand. I was curled up on the couch in my pajamas, blanket wrapped tightly around me, even though it was warm inside. My eyes were tired from crying, but somehow the tears still kept coming. It didn’t matter how long I stared at the ceiling at night or how much I tried to stay distracted during the day, Ramon was always there in the back of my mind. Every little memory felt like a fresh scratch across my heart.

“I wish I had the right words, baby,” Mom said softly, her voice calm and patient, the way it always was when I was hurting. “But I need you to hear this… falling in love isn’t something to be ashamed of. It’s not bad. It means you’re human. It means your heart works.”

I sniffled and wiped my nose with the sleeve of my hoodie. “Then why does it hurt so much?”

Grandma squeezed my hand tightly. Her palm was warm, her grip soft but stea

    PHOEBERamon held stiff for a minute, then relaxed, putting his arms around me, engulfing me in his body heat.“I loved this.”I lifted my chin so I could look up at him. I opened my mouth to say something. What, I wasn’t sure. But the next thing I knew, his lips were on mine again.His hands slid over my back, to my butt, and rested there for a second. I pressed tighter against him, taking the kiss deeper. The energy shift between us was seamless, from comforting and pained to needy and lustful.My clothes were easy to remove. He only had to slide my pants down my legs and yank off my hoodie and shirt.When I was naked, he surveyed me. I hadn’t worn a bra, and my nipples peaked when he ran his gaze over them. His big hands reached up to cup my breasts and we both shuddered.He was far too overdressed. I attacked the button on his jeans, struggling with the stiff denim. He tried to help, but his hands were more in the way than anything else.“You do your shirt,” I ordered, trying t

    PHOEBEThe door had barely closed behind my mom when I let out the breath I didn't know I was holding. I leaned back on the bed and rubbed at my face. The day had drained everything out of me. My bones, my voice, my soul.A soft knock came, and before I could respond, Winnie pushed the door open."Hey," she said softly.I sat up. "You okay?"She nodded and came to sit beside me on the bed, folding her legs like she used to in high school during our endless sleepovers.“I should be asking you that,” she said softly. “Have you guys made any plans yet? About Richard?”I leaned back against the headboard, closing my eyes for a second before answering. “No one’s said anything concrete. We’ve just been… reacting. Not planning. Everyone’s been so caught up in putting out fires, literally and emotionally.”Winnie picked at the hem of her sleeve, her brows knitting together. “Well… I found something.”My eyes snapped open. “What?”She glanced at the door and then back at me, voice dropping low

    RAMONThe night air was cool, crisp, and quiet. The kind of quiet that never lasted long in our world. I stood on the back porch, one hand buried in my jacket pocket, the other holding a cigarette. I hated the habit, but tonight, I needed something to ground me. The taste of ash, the curl of smoke, it dulled the edge of everything just enough.Stephen stood beside me, leaning on the railing, his eyes fixed on the sky like it had answers. He didn’t say much, but that was fine. Some nights didn’t need words.“You smoke?” I asked, glancing sideways.He gave me a small nod, slow and thoughtful. “Sometimes. When things get heavy.”“Tonight qualifies.”“Yeah,” he muttered.I pulled a cigarette from the box and handed it to him. He took it. I flicked the lighter, shielding the flame from the wind, and lit his.We stood there, not talking for a minute or two. Just breathing. Smoking. Thinking.“Hell of a day,” I finally said.He exhaled. “You could say that.”I took another drag and looked ou

    SHAWNAThe kitchen clock ticked too loudly.I folded the last of the dishtowels and looked around. The house was too quiet. Too still. I frowned."Where are they?" I muttered under my breath.I wiped my hands on the cloth and called out, “Mom? Damien? Anyone seen the kids?”Damien walked in from the living room, cradling a steaming mug of tea. He looked calm, unbothered. “They said they’d be around the backyard earlier. Haven’t seen them since.”I glanced toward the back window. The yard was empty now. The breeze rustled through the trees. No voices. No laughter. No sign of them.Something in my chest tightened.“Phoebe didn’t say anything before leaving?” I asked, already reaching for my phone.Damien shook his head. “Not a word. I thought maybe you knew.”I dialed Phoebe first. It rang once. Twice. Voicemail.I frowned and tried again. Still no answer.I moved on, Ramon, then Winnie, then Stephen. One by one, they all didn’t pick up.My voice was tense. “None of them are answering.”

    PHOEBEThe second Stephen said he was ex-military, I froze.Ramon blinked beside me, confused and clearly caught off guard. "Wait... what?"Stephen nodded, steady despite the blood staining his shirt. "I served. A long time ago. Special reconnaissance. That’s how I saw him. That’s how I knew."My mouth opened, but no words came out. My mind was racing, piecing things together. The way he’d disappeared so quickly. The calm, the precision. It all made sense now."You fought that guy alone?" I asked, stepping closer.Stephen winced a little, pressing his hand to the side of his stomach. "He had a blade. Got one lucky hit in. But he won’t be hurting anyone ever again."Just then, the front door opened with a quiet creak and Winnie stepped out, still nibbling on a cupcake and humming to herself. She stopped mid-step.Her eyes landed on Stephen, on the blood staining his shirt, the way he leaned heavily against the railing, one hand pressed to his side.Her expression changed instantly."St

    PHOEBEI had just gotten back to my seat, forcing a calm, practiced smile on my face, when I heard a soft voice behind me."Phoebe. Don’t move."I turned slightly, eyebrows raised. It was Stephen. His tone was so calm, so steady, it almost didn’t match the urgency in his eyes."What?" I whispered, barely moving my lips."There's a gun pointed at you," he said under his breath, gaze sweeping the crowd like he was just scanning for a friend.A chill raced down my spine.I laughed nervously because I knew. "Are you joking?"Stephen didn’t blink. "I'm not. I need you to stay exactly where you are. Don’t turn around. Don’t panic. Just breathe."My hands trembled. I tried to still them as I picked up my phone and opened a new message to Ramon.Stephen knows. He says there's a gun pointed at me. He’s going to neutralize the threat.Stephen leaned closer, his voice barely audible over the soft hum of conversation and music. “In thirty seconds, I’m going to move. Just keep talking to Winnie li
