The Collision Before I'm Ready
Ariana’s POVWe barely made it through the door.Becca was still out, the room dark except for the desk lamp left on. Jace kicked the door shut behind us and his mouth was already on mine again, messy and urgent, like the argument from earlier had only made him need this more. My back hit the wall. His hands framed my face, thumbs brushing my cheeks, and I pulled him closer by the front of his shirt, kissing him back harder than I meant to.“I meant what I said,” he muttered against my lips, voice rough. “About wanting to let you in.”“Then stop talking and show me.”He made a low sound that went straight through me. His hands slid down my sides, certain now, and we stumbled toward the bed without breaking the kiss for more than a second at a time. When the backs of my knees hit the mattress we both went down, tangled, breathing hard.His mouth moved to my jaw, then lower. I arched without thinking, fingers already under his shirt, pushing it up. He sat back just long enough to yank i
The Collision After The Fight
Ariana's POVI found him sitting alone in the empty locker room hallway after practice, his gear bag slumped against the wall, his shoulder held stiff in a way that made my chest tighten with worry and frustration all at once."Jace." I crossed the hallway fast, my voice sharper than I meant it to come out. "What is going on with you."He looked up, something guarded immediately settling over his face. "Nothing. I told you, I'm fine.""You're not fine." My voice climbed, all the worry from his short, dismissive texts finally boiling over. "I watched you wince during that drill. Mike had to text me because you wouldn't answer him either. You lied about lunch. You've been lying all day.""I didn't lie." His jaw tightened. "I was just tired.""Don't do that." I stepped closer, refusing to let him deflect the way he always did when things got too close to something real. "Don't stand there and act like I don't know the difference between tired and whatever this actually is.""Ariana, drop
The Collision Guilt
Jace's POVI sat on the edge of my bed long after Ariana left, my shoulder still cold from the ice pack, my chest tight with something that had nothing to do with the injury at all.“I don't want anything back. I just want you okay.”Her words kept circling, quiet and steady, refusing to settle anywhere comfortable. Nobody had ever taken care of me like that before. Not Maya, who always seemed to keep some kind of tally underneath every kindness. Not my dad, who measured every ounce of attention against what I'd done to earn it. Ariana had just knelt there wrapping ice against my shoulder, asking nothing in return, wanting nothing except for me to actually be okay.That wasn't infatuation. That wasn't the easy, breathless kind of falling I'd felt during the kiss in the library, as real as that had been too. This was something steadier, something that had been building quietly underneath all of it, and sitting here now, alone in the dark, I finally let myself call it what it actually w
The Collision What I Noticed
Ariana's POVI found him sitting on the edge of his bed when I let myself into his room, his jaw tight, one hand pressed carefully against his shoulder in a way that made my stomach drop the second I saw it."Hey," I said, dropping my bag by the door. "You okay?""Fine." He straightened immediately, dropping his hand too fast, the movement itself giving away exactly how not fine he actually was. "Just tired from practice.""Jace." I crossed the room and sat down beside him, studying the careful way he was holding himself. "I've watched you do that same thing for weeks now. The shoulder thing. You always say it's nothing.""Because it is nothing." His voice had gone tight, defensive in a way that told me exactly how much effort he was putting into keeping this contained."It's not nothing." I kept my voice gentle but firm, refusing to let him deflect the way he usually managed to. "I saw you wince during that drill last week. I've seen you favor that side every single time we walk anyw
The Collision Cracks In The Story
Maya's POVI stared at the photo for longer than I wanted to admit, my thumb hovering over the comment I'd already posted, some ugly satisfaction sitting alongside the ache I refused to name out loud.Cute. Real cute.Twelve likes already. A few replies underneath mine, people I didn't fully recognize adding their own commentary, speculating about how serious things actually were between Jace and his journalism girlfriend. I scrolled through the responses, something twisting tighter in my chest with every comment that painted them as some perfect campus couple.My roommate Bri walked out of the bathroom, towel wrapped around her wet hair, catching the look on my face immediately. "What are you doing.""Nothing." I didn't look up from my phone, still scrolling."You sure it's nothing?." Bri sat down on the edge of her bed, studying me carefully."It's nothing."She crossed her arms not yet satisfied with my lie. "What happened now?""Someone posted a photo from the winter formal." I tu
The Collision What I Almost Said
Jace's POV The team photo took longer than it should have, Ryan insisting on three different poses before Coach finally called it good enough, and the whole time my mind stayed stuck on the three words I'd almost let slip out on that bench. *I think I already have fallen for you. Completely.* I'd meant every word. But something had locked up in my chest right as I tried to actually say it, some old instinct pulling the brakes before I could finish. Ariana caught my eye across the group photo, something curious and a little uncertain in her expression, like she was waiting to see if I'd pick the thread back up now that Ryan and Mike had interrupted us. I gave her a small smile, but I didn't say anything, not yet, the words still sitting heavy and unfinished in my chest. We walked back toward her dorm once the formal wound down, snow crunching under our shoes, the cold air doing nothing to cool down whatever was still burning in my chest since that moment on the bench. "You w
