Jacqueline's POV

I began to move towards Blair, heart thumping. I hadn’t seen her since yesterday. Since that awful moment in the garden when her phone rang, and she got told her sister had gotten into an accident.

I would have called her if I'd had her number. But I didn't, and so while I thought about everything that'd happened yesterday, I hadn't failed to worry about her sister's health too.

And now she stood just ahead of me, looking pale and tired, her arms crossed tightly over her chest as she stared out the window like she wanted to punch it.

I didn’t wait.

“Blair!” I rushed toward her.

She turned quickly, eyes meeting mine. Her shoulders tensed like she was bracing herself. Mrs Winterthur hadn't arrived yet, and so the class was a steady hum of low conversations.

“I tried to find you yesterday,” I said, breathless. “I didn’t have your number. I searched Facebook. I—I didn’t know what else to do.”

Her face softened.

“How’s your sister?” I asked.

Blair blinked, and for a mom

    JACQUELINEBy the time I reached the front steps, my throat felt scraped raw from breathing too hard.The door creaked when I pulled it open. Mom was on the couch, her elbows on her knees, wrinkling her hands over and over. The TV was on but muted. A news anchor’s mouth moved silently on the screen. I could tell Mom had put it on as a distraction.“Did you find her?” Her voice came the second she saw me. She didn’t even look hopeful when she asked, maybe because her eyes had dropped to my empty hands.I shook my head. “No.”The word was small but heavy, like a stone in my mouth. My heart gave one of those slow, mean twists, the kind that makes it hard to stand up straight.Mom nodded, but it was the kind of nod people do when they’re not agreeing with you, just acknowledging that they heard.I crossed the living room. The couch’s fabric made a faint brushing sound against my jeans when I sat beside her. Her hands were still restless, so I caught one and held it, giving her the most co

    JACQUELINEI had never thought I would be the one to panic over a cat. Not in this lifetime. But there I was, standing in the middle of the living room with my heart in my throat, scanning every corner of the place for a patch of bright orange fur that wasn’t there.“She’s not under the couch,” I had said, even though I had bent down and looked twice.“I checked there already,” Mom had answered quickly, her voice tight. She had abandoned the plates she had been washing in the kitchen sink. The water was still running, and I could hear it drumming into the metal basin. She had already stepped out the door to knock on the neighbor’s.The sound of her knuckles hitting their doors was sharp and too fast, like she didn’t have time to be polite about it. “Have you seen an orange cat? Small, short-haired?” I heard her asking Mr. Douglas, the old man who constantly mowed his lawn like it was a competition he was hoping to win someday.What if the cat had wandered out onto the road and was cru

    JACQUELINE I cut a piece of chicken and bit delightfully into it. Mom had come home early to prepare a delicious lunch of asparagus and chicken.It was the tastiest meal I’d had in a while.I looked towards Mom, who was eating slowly, and said,“This is so delicious; I’m afraid to ask how much it cost to make this.”She smiled faintly, her fork hovering over the plate. “Less than you think. Besides, I wanted us to eat together tonight.”The smell of roasted garlic and lemon was still clinging to the air. The kitchen light above the table made the chicken skin glisten. My glass of water was half-empty, a little condensation ring forming under it. I shifted my foot against the leg of my chair and felt the rough patch on the wood where the varnish had peeled.Mom’s eyes lifted from her plate. “So… How was your day?”My fork paused halfway to my mouth as I thought about everything that happened earlier in the day. I thought about the horrible trance in the hospital and the nurse who had

    EZRA I kept her face between my palms, my thumbs brushing her cheeks as though I could memorize every curve of her skin through touch alone. The kiss deepened without thought, her breath mingling with mine, warm and unhurried. She made a small sound against my mouth, something like a laugh caught in her throat, before she leaned back just enough for her lips to part from mine.“I’m hungry,” she said, eyes glinting with that mischievous softness I had missed for far too long. “If you’re not, I’m ready to eat.”Her words curled through me like the flicker of a flame. I didn’t let her go right away. Instead, I pulled her closer for two, maybe three more kisses, slower this time, just to feel the shape of her mouth and the faint tremor in her breath when she smiled into them.“I am not finished with you,” I murmured, but my grip loosened. She gave me a look that said she knew exactly what I meant and exactly how much I meant it. Then she slipped from my hands and turned toward the door,

    JACQUELINEI should have known, though; I should have known that no matter how I tried to mind my business, Nina wasn't going to mind hers. She took delight in trying to make my life a misery. I knew before I even looked up that she had walked towards my table. The scent of her perfume reached me first, sweet but sharp, like fake strawberries.When I lifted my head, Nina was standing there at the side of my table.She looked slightly different. Her platinum blonde hair was whiter than usual and made her look almost old. Her face looked caked, like she'd rubbed too much foundation. I shook my head, because there was a time this devilish-looking girl had been my best friend, a time when I thought she was the most beautiful girl in the world. A time when I would have vouched for her innocence and pureness of heart. She tilted her head a little as she regarded me, nothing but contempt and hatred in the depths of her eyes. Before she could make a sound, something moved fast in my peri

    JACQUELINE Blair was still staring at me like she could see the dream crawling under my skin. Her eyebrows were pulled together so tight there was a little line between them.“That is really messed up,” she said, shaking her head. “Like… nightmare messed up. I don’t even have words.”I let out a breath I had been holding since I woke up. “I know. It is the scariest thing I have ever experienced. I keep thinking about it and my whole body just—” I rubbed my arms. “It is like my skin remembers it.”She glanced at me, the corner of her mouth twitching like she wanted to say more but wasn’t sure if she should. “Do you think maybe it is just about… him leaving?”My stomach twisted. “Ezra?”“Yeah. The heartbreak. The pain. All of it piling up until your brain makes up something awful.”I shook my head. “It feels like more than that. It is not just sad. It is heavy. Like someone put a lid on me and I cannot move or scream or breathe. It does not feel like something my mind just made up. It
