Aiden's POV When I woke up, the first thing I noticed was the softness beneath me.For a few seconds, I didn't move. I simply stared at the unfamiliar ceiling above me, my mind struggling to catch up with where I was. The room was quiet, dark except for the faint glow of light slipping in through the curtains. I could hear the distant hum of something outside, perhaps a car passing on the road, but otherwise, there was only silence.This wasn't the beach house.I blinked slowly, trying to remember how I had ended up here. Then the memories came rushing back.Macmillan's mother.I remembered sitting beside her, remembered the warmth of her body beneath my head as I rested against her thighs. I remembered the gentle way she had spoken to me, the softness in her voice, the way her fingers had moved through my hair. Somehow, without even realizing it, I had fallen asleep there even after arguing I was okay.A small smile touched my lips.It had been our first ever conversation. The firs
Orlando's POVI had left Macmillan's house earlier than I intended, because I couldn't bare it. I had been gone for three days and my parents didn't bother to text to inquire if I was alright and suddenly I was in the space of parents who cared about their child, it made me uncomfortable.I walked past the living room. My parents were both there, Dad on the couch with his tablet, Mom flipping through a magazine like it was the most important thing in the world. None of them bother to look up, none of them looked worried that I was gone for three days. None of them ran and cupped my face as if being away for three days felt like being away for a lifetime like Macmillan's mother did.I made it halfway up the stairs before something twisted in my chest. That same ugly knot I’d felt watching Macmillan and Jordan talk so easily with his dad. I stopped, fingers gripping the banister. 'just go to your room,' I told myself. But my feet turned anyway. I came back down and dropped into the a
Aiden’s POVThe city felt like it was pressing in on me tonight, every streetlight too bright, every shadow too deep. My head was a storm, replaying what happened in the bathroom with Jordan like a broken record, the hollow ache in my chest that had been growing for two weeks. I thought I had suc
Jordan's POVI don't know how long I've been sitting here on this toilet seat, holding Aiden's boxer briefs.For a while now I've been concealing my feelings for my roommate. I know I am not his type, I know he won't accept someone like me.So I hid my feelings and suppressed them, dying in silenc
Aiden's POVI stood in front of the teacher's office, my heart pounding in my chest not because I just ran all the way here but because I was scared.I can't lose my scholarship, I did everything I could to get it because I knew I wouldn't be able to sponsor myself to school and I can't depend on m
