Wren Carter

I had exactly three goals left for this semester. Pass my exams. Keep my mother safe. And survive college without another disaster happening.

That was it. Nothing more. Nothing less. Apparently, however, the universe had other plans. The loud bell rang throughout the entire campus before an announcement echoed from the speakers installed across every hallway.

    Cyrus BlackwoodThe rhythmic sound of the basketball bouncing against the court echoed through the afternoon air as sweat dripped down my forehead.Thud.Thud.Thud.Usually, playing helped clear my head. Usually, this was my escape. A way to shut my brain off for an hour and not think about anything.Today wasn't one of those days.Because no matter how many shots I made…No matter how many laps I ran…My stupid brain only wanted to think about one person.Wren Carter.Always Wren Carter.It was honestly becoming a problem at this point."Earth to Cyrus!"Ryan's voice snapped me back to reality.I blinked."What?"Lucas snorted from beside him."Dude, you've been staring into space for five minutes."I grabbed the ball from Ethan and shot him a glare."I have not.""You absolutely have," Ethan said.Ryan grinned."It's actually getting concerning."I rolled my eyes."Shut up."They all burst into laughter.We'd finished practice and were currently taking a break on the sidelines whil

    Wren Carter I had exactly three goals left for this semester. Pass my exams. Keep my mother safe. And survive college without another disaster happening. That was it. Nothing more. Nothing less. Apparently, however, the universe had other plans. The loud bell rang throughout the entire campus before an announcement echoed from the speakers installed across every hallway. "Attention students. This year's annual Spring Prom will be held next Friday evening in the Grand Hall. Attendance is optional but encouraged. There will be music, dinner, awards, dancing, and various activities. Formal attire is required. Prom partner registrations will begin tomorrow and close within three days. We hope to see everyone there." Immediately, the entire classroom erupted. Girls squealed. Some guys cheered. Others immediately started discussing outfits and dates. Meanwhile... I simply stared at my notebook. Prom. Wonderful. Exactly what I needed. Another event where rich kids could show off their

    Wren CarterI was dreading today. Not because of assignments.Not because of classes.Not because of Christy or her little army of mean girls.I was dreading today because my life had somehow become a giant mess overnight, and I wasn't entirely sure how I was supposed to act around people anymore.Especially Adrian. Especially after last night. I adjusted the strap of my bag and walked through the college gates, trying to appear normal.Keyword:Trying.Because absolutely nothing about my life felt normal anymore.I barely slept after Cyrus left my apartment this morning. My brain had replayed everything on a loop for hours. The club. The drink. The panic. Cyrus showing up. Waking up to him sleeping on my couch.Every time I thought about it, my stomach did that weird thing again. That same uncomfortable feeling I still refused to name.I shook my head.Nope. Absolutely not. I wasn't doing that. Not today. I was halfway down the hallway when I spotted Adrian leaning against a locker. Th

    Wren CarterThe first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was the headache.God.It was awful.My entire head felt heavy, like someone had stuffed cotton inside my brain overnight. My eyelids felt heavier than usual too, and for several seconds, I simply lay there staring at the ceiling above me, trying to remember how I'd gotten here.My apartment.I was in my apartment.The familiar crack running through the corner of my ceiling was there. The old fan that squeaked every time it rotated was there too.Slowly, pieces of last night returned.The club.Gen.Adrian.The drink.That guy.Then Cyrus.My stomach tightened instantly.I shot upright.The room immediately spun around me."Ugh..."I grabbed my forehead. Everything felt blurry. How did I get home? I remembered leaving the club.No.I remembered Cyrus.Then...Nothing. My eyes traveled around my room. Everything looked normal. My shoes were beside the bed. My bag was placed neatly on the chair. Someone had even put a bottle of

    Cyrus BlackwoodThe second I saw his hands on her, something inside me snapped.One moment I was standing across the room trying my hardest to respect her wishes and keep my distance. The next, I was already moving before my brain had time to catch up. Every sound around me disappeared beneath the roaring in my ears. The music. The lights. The people dancing around us. Everything faded into the background until all I could see was Wren backed against the wall with fear written all over her face.And him.His filthy hands touching her. His body pressed too close to hers.My blood boiled instantly."Wren..." he slurred, reaching for her again. "Don't be so dramatic. You're okay. Relax."Her breathing was uneven.She pushed him weakly. "N-no..."That one word was enough. I saw red.Before he could touch her again, I grabbed the back of his shirt and yanked him away from her so violently that he crashed into the opposite wall."What the—" My fist connected with his jaw before he could fini

    Wren CarterI shouldn't have come.That was the first thought that crossed my mind the moment I sat back down. The music was still blasting around us. People were laughing. Some were dancing. Others were cheering at whatever dare was happening now.Meanwhile…I wanted the ground to swallow me whole. Because I was almost certain everyone here had witnessed the little scene Cyrus had created on the dance floor.Wonderful.Just wonderful.I grabbed a strand of my hair and tucked it behind my ear while avoiding everyone's eyes.Gen, unfortunately, was not helping. She leaned closer with a grin that instantly made me suspicious."Oh."I already knew that tone. "No."Her grin widened. "Ohhh."I sighed. "Gen."She wiggled her eyebrows. "Cyrus Blackwood really walked over there and said, 'My turn.'"I covered my face for a second. "Please stop."She laughed. "What?""Please stop.""I'm just saying…""Don't."She grinned mischievously. "That was dramatic."I groaned. "It was embarrassing.""It

    Wren CarterI don't remember how I got back to my apartment.One second I was standing in that alley staring at Cyrus's phone. The next I was fumbling with my keys so badly that I dropped them twice before managing to unlock the door.The moment I stepped inside, every ounce of strength left my bod

    Wren CarterI hated walking home after dark. Maybe hated wasn't the right word. Feared was probably more accurate. I adjusted the strap of my bag and quickened my pace as another car drove past. My stomach tightened immediately.Not again. For the past week, I had felt it. That horrible sensation.

    Wren CarterI should've known peace wouldn't last. The moment I stepped onto campus the next morning, something felt off. People weren't openly staring anymore. They weren't whispering as loudly either. But there was still this strange tension hanging in the air. Like everyone was waiting for somet

    Wren CarterCyrus barely reacted to the shove.His eyes stayed locked on me with that same intense expression that had been haunting me for days now.“You are.”I stared at him incredulously.“What?”“You’re my problem, Wren.”The words came out rough.Raw.And before I could even process them, he
