Chapter 6

Author: Foxfall1
Mia's POV

It was almost dawn when I reached Southport.

The station exit was nearly empty.

I dragged my suitcase outside, cold wind burning my eyes.

The second I turned my phone back on, missed calls flooded the screen.

Then a text popped up.

[Mia, answer your phone.]

Two minutes later:

[Where are you?]

Eventually, his messages stopped sounding like orders.

[Stop this. I'll come get you.]

I stared at the message for a long time.

Then I blocked his number.

The cab driver asked where I

    A year later, I held my first solo recital abroad.My final piece was called Echoes of Yesterday.Every seat was filled.When the lights dimmed, Damien never crossed my mind.I only thought about myself.The girl who'd secretly written ninety-nine letters.How foolish she'd been.How sincere.How hard she'd loved.And how she'd finally walked away from all that pain.When I finished, the applause wouldn't stop.I stood to bow.Then I saw someone familiar in the back row.Damien.He'd lost a lot of weight.He sat in a dark corner, holding a bouquet of tiny lemon-yellow flowers.I glanced at him once, then looked away.After everyone left, he waited outside backstage.No orders this time.No asking me to come back.He just held out the flowers, his voice painfully rough."Mia, I didn't come to bother you. I just wanted to hear you finish that piece."I nodded."You heard it. Now go."Damien's eyes turned red."Are you doing well?""Very."He smiled, but tears s

    Damien didn't show up the day I left Southport.According to my assistant, Celine Tully, he'd gone back to Riverton.Something had happened with the Byford family.After losing her contract, Shannon posted the alumni gala video and the full story behind the note-box stunt online.She tried to shift the blame, saying Damien had let it all happen.But online, nobody cared who was technically at fault.All anyone saw was a whole group ganging up on one person.Damien got dragged online.Byford Corp's stock dropped three days straight, and business partners started backing out.His father ended up in the hospital from the stress.Everyone said Damien Byford had never fallen this hard.When I heard, I was already at the airport.Ethan looked at me. "Don't you want one last look?"I shook my head."No."Before boarding, I got an email from Damien.No long message.Just a photo.The box of notes had been burned to ash.Under it was one line.[Mia, I'm sorry.]I stared at

  • Sorry, Your Fangirl Logged Off   Chapter 8

    Damien didn't leave.He rented a place near the recovery center.Every morning at seven, breakfast showed up at the door.An onion-free omelet. Hot chocolate. Lemon candy.Then came an out-of-print piano score I'd once mentioned wanting.I never accepted any of it.After days of watching the gifts pile up, Ethan finally had the staff send everything back.Damien didn't make a scene.He just stood under a tree across from the recovery center every day.Even in the rain, he didn't use an umbrella.One day, I looked out the window.His suit was soaked through.He looked like he had that night outside the club, when he'd tilted the umbrella toward me.But this time, I didn't go downstairs.Ethan stood behind me."Feel bad for him?"I shook my head."I just think he finally knows what it feels like to be cold."Ethan stayed quiet.After a while, he said, "Don't let his pain become yours."I closed the curtains."I won't."Two weeks later, Damien finally cracked.The r

    Damien found me in Southport a week later.I'd just left the recovery center with Ethan's medication when I spotted him across the street.He looked wrecked.Bloodshot eyes. Stubble on his jaw. Perfect suit, exhausted face.The second he saw me, his whole expression changed."Mia."I stopped cold.He hurried over and reached for the bag in my hand.I pulled it back.His hand froze.A second later, he acted like nothing happened."I'm here to take you home."I looked at him. "Home where?"He frowned. "Riverton."I renewed your apartment lease. I handled the auditorium video too. No one's going to spread it."He rattled it all off like fixing those things should've been enough."I made Shannon leave Riverton."I'll make her apologize for the note-box stunt."Then he added, "You can punish her however you want."I listened, then asked, "What about you?"Damien froze."She mocked my letters. She was wrong."They laughed at me. They were wrong."What about you?"His

    Third-Person POVIt took Damien half an hour to realize something was off.Shannon leaned against the couch, pale. "Damien, did I scare you?"He looked down at her.Usually, he would've called a doctor right away and asked what was wrong.But Mia's last words wouldn't leave his head. 'I hope you two stay this perfect for each other forever.'She hadn't sounded bitter.She'd sounded done.Damien suddenly pulled his sleeve from Shannon's grip.She froze. "Damien?"Without a word, Damien turned and walked out.The hallway was empty.Staff were packing up equipment. The second they saw him, they straightened.Damien's face darkened."Where's Mia?"One of them hesitated."Ms. Martinez just left.""Where'd she go?""I'm not sure. She had a small suitcase and looked like she was in a rush."'A small suitcase.'The words hit hard.Damien pulled out his phone and called Mia.Straight to voicemail.His expression turned cold.He immediately called her apartment building.
