The Girl He Never Knew Chapter 106: "I Got Picked"
NOAH'S POV Elena sat in the same chair she had occupied through the night, only now she was fully awake, knees drawn up, one of my hoodies pulled over the clothes she had been wearing since the incident. She had refused to leave my side since. My forearm rested elevated on the foam wedge, the clean bandage stark against the skin. The dull throb had settled into something manageable. The IV was gone. “I’m so sorry I didn’t believe you,” I turned to her. The sentence came out clean. I let the full weight of it sit in the space between the bed and the chair. Elena looked at me for a long moment. Her eyes were clear and tired. “You believed the evidence you had,” she implied. “So did I, when it came to the messages. We were both used.” The generosity of it landed harder than any accusation could have. “That’s very generous,” I said. A faint smirk touched her mouth. “I’m a very generous person.” I reached across with my uninjured hand, caught her fingers, and pulled them up to my
The Girl He Never Knew Chapter 105: He Loves Me
ELENA’S POV I was awake. I had been awake since. The apology, then the second apology, smaller. And then the three words I had stopped allowing myself to expect in forever. I LOVE YOU, ELENA VOSS. He said them as if testing the air. He said them again, quieter, as if the repetition might make the fact settle more permanently into the room. I kept my eyes closed a little longer. Not to deceive him. Only to hold the weight of the words inside my own ribs before I had to answer them out loud. They sat there warm and heavy. I had written versions of this moment in the margins of notebooks I never showed anyone. I had imagined it in the dark after the hotel room, after the rain-soaked gas station, after the train station bench when he told me to leave Ridgewood. None of those imagined versions had included the beep of a monitor, the dull chemical smell of antiseptic, or the faint dried smear of his blood still marking my cheekbone. I opened my eyes. Noah was already looking at me.
The Girl He Never Knew Chapter 104: "While She Sleeps"
NOAH'S POV I woke to the low beep of a monitor and the thin gray light of early morning pushing through the hospital blinds. For a few seconds the ceiling tiles above me stayed unfocused. The residual fog of the anesthesia still clung to the edges of my thoughts then the dull, insistent throb in my left forearm pulled everything into place. The cut. The blade. The way I had turned toward Elena’s voice instead of the weapon. The stitches that now held the skin together under a clean white bandage elevated on a foam wedge. I turned my head. Elena was in the chair beside the bed. She had fallen asleep sitting up, her head tipped sideways against the high back of the chair, one hand still loosely curled around a pen. A notebook lay open across her lap. Her credentials from the championship game were still looped around her neck, twisted from the hours of waiting. A faint smear of dried blood—mine—remained near her cheekbone where I had touched her in the annex before the medic arrive
The Girl He Never Knew Chapter 103: Saving Noah
ELENA’S POV They took him through the double doors at 1:14 a.m. I stood in the middle of the surgical waiting room with the blood of his forearm still faintly smeared across my cheek and watched the doors swing shut. The nurse had said the cut was deep but clean, that the tendon had been grazed but not severed, that the surgeon was good and the procedure should be straightforward. She had said all of it in the calm professional voice people used when they wanted the family to breathe. I had just nodded. Then I had sat down in the nearest plastic chair and tried to remember how to do exactly that. The waiting felt familiar in the worst way. First, Ethan and now, Noah. At seventeen I had sat in a different kind of institutional room and waited for an outcome I had already tried to shape with a statement that cost me everything clean about my own name. That night I had been alone. No one had brought coffee. No one had sat beside me and said my name like it still belonged to a person
The Girl He Never Knew Chapter 102: We Made It
NOAH'S POV The second the medic finished the temporary wrap I reached for her. Elena was already there. I pulled her in hard, one-armed, the injured forearm held stiff and away from her body so the blood would not ruin more of her clothes than it already had. She came without resistance. Her hands fisted in the front of my shirt immediately, gripping hard enough that the fabric pulled tight across my back. I could feel the fine tremor running through her arms. I could also feel the larger one running through mine—the adrenaline that had kept me on my feet in the annex was leaving in uneven waves, and the shaking came with it. I held on. She held back harder. For a long moment there was only the sound of radios, the low instructions of the officers still clearing the annex, and the rough edge of my own breathing against her hair. The cut on my forearm throbbed in time with my pulse. Blood had already soaked through the towel and the first layer of gauze. I did not look at it. I lo
The Girl He Never Knew Chapter 101: My Knight In Shining Jersey
ELENA’S POV I saw the blade before Noah did. It happened in the second after Jax’s shoulders had already started to collapse, after the security radios had begun to crackle in the hallway, after the worst of the confrontation seemed to have broken. Noah had turned partially toward me, one hand still open at his side. Jax was no longer blocking the door. The threat had looked finished. Then Jax’s right hand moved. Metal caught the light and I screamed his name. “Noah—!” He turned toward the sound of my voice instead of toward the blade. The decision cost him the clean angle he might have used to step back. The knife that had been meant for his face dragged instead across the outside of his left forearm as he brought the arm up on pure reflex. Blood came immediately running down the inside of his wrist and dripping onto the concrete in dark spots. He did not go down. He staggered half a step but his feet stayed under him. The knife clattered away when Jax tried to revers
The Girl He Never Knew Chapter 2: The Ghost In The Passenger Seat
NOAH’S POV The interior of my car usually felt like a sanctuary but as the door slammed shut and Elena Voss scrambled into the passenger seat, the air didn't just change, it vanished. She looked like a disaster. Her blonde hair was a matted, dark gold mess, plastered to her forehead and neck. Her
The Girl He Never Knew Chapter 1: Worst Day Ever
ELENA'S POV: The rain wasn't just falling. It was that aggressive, stinging East Coast downpour that turned the Ridgewood campus into a blurry watercolor painting of grey stone and dying ivy. My boots supposedly waterproof according to the 5 star reviews on A****n had surrendered ten minutes ago. N
The Girl He Never Knew Chapter 70: Blood, Lip, And Ruin
NOAH'S POV The knock on her door was soft and I knew she had heard it by all means.I stood in the dimly lit hallway of her dorm building, blood still drying on my hoodie, my split lip throbbing with every heartbeat. My knuckles burned where they’d split open against Jax’s face. I shouldn’t be her
The Girl He Never Knew Chapter 50: A Can Of Worms Unopened
NOAH'S POV The second Elena pulled that envelope from the bottom of Ethan’s locker, the entire world narrowed to a single white rectangle in her hands.I felt it before I even saw the name. That familiar sick twist in my gut. The one that never really went away no matter how many points I scored o
