The cabin’s air was slow at night but woke slowly as though it was too reluctant to disturb whatever fragile calm h

Snow rested thick along the windowsills and the world beyond the glass locked untouched. Quiet underneath that beautiful morning sky.

For a few suspenders moments after I had opened my eyes, I allowed myself to believe nothing has shifted. Ethan's steady breathing behind me, the faint sound of the heater, the smell of coffee that was going to come after. All of it felt normal and

    I was ready to do it.Bulldoze the doors, strut my way in, push Ben to the side and go find Mia.But Ben was quicker than I was. He snatched the door handle before I could and dived inside.“If you break down my door, I'm calling the cops on you.” he roared.Cops on me?He wouldn't dare.“The same cops that are looking for Mia? Call them! I'm sure they'll definitely come.” he yelled back.I bumped shoulders into the door, pain sizzled through every nerve. I don't have the time to recover, as fast as a lightening bolt, I jumped back on my feet and rushed to the door again.“Open the damn door, Ben! I want to see her. You better open this shit up or I'll break it.” I banged with my clenched fist on the door. With all the power that I had.With all my pent up frustration.With the way I felt about Mia.Open the freaking door!Silence filled the room inside when I stopped knocking. The air stilled. It was everything and everyone in there had completely gone silent.I banged a couple of t

    I woke up to the sound of ting ringing in my head. My vision blurred for a few seconds until I blinked again and found that I could see.“Ouch.” I winced as I struggled to stand up but found something pulling me down.A swift turn to the side and I heard the clanking of chains. Heavy chains. I was locked in here.Locked in a dark, wet smelling room. I scanned the room and found that there was no presence in there. “Ethan…” I whimpered. “Ethan, where are you…”Silence filled the room. A deafening silence that rang louder than the chill that was fixed in my spine.“Ethan…”The silence rang again, when another minister passed and I couldn't find Ethan or the other girl, I panicked.“Ethan! Where the heck are you!!!” I started to pull against the chains.It hit deep into my skin, tightening around my wrist so deeply that, I could feel my own skin ripping off me.The struggle grew louder, the pain worse, I struggled so much I was out of breath. My chest tightened, my eyes watered.I stopp

    “Mia!” My shouts grew louder, aggression folded in my veins as I banged my fist on front door.“Mia! I know you're in there. I know you can hear me. I just wanna talk. Please come out!”Silence greeted my loud cries. Silence and an eerie chill that ran down my back. It seemed as though every breath of life had suddenly vanished from inside the cabin.“Mia?” I paused, leaned closer, peering through the glass windows on the front door to see if I could find anything.My reflection stared me right back in the face, the corners of my lips faced down with sadness. “Mia!”Frustration mixed with a ting of anger mixed inside of me. A bolt shot through my inside, my fist met the door again, this time louder.“Mia! Come out now or so help me God, I'm gonna break this—“Hello, Ethan.” The sound of hinges opening and a familiar voice interrupted me.I paused mid sentence and turned to find Ben perched by the front door, holding the doorknob while his head was slightly poked outside of the house

    The house came into view slower than I expected, not because I had reduced my speed but because something in me resisted the moment I would finally have to face whatever was waiting there and the longer I looked at it, the more something about it felt wrong in a way I could not immediately explain.Everything looked normal. The lights were on, steady and warm behind the windows, the front heard was undisturbed, no sign of struggled, no broken glass, nothing out of place in the way danger usually announce itself, and yet that normalcy settled into me with an unease that made it difficult to take comfort in it.I parked the truck quickly, cutting the engine as I stepped out, the quiet of the night wrapping around me in a way that made me feel amplified as I walked towards the front door.“Mia?” I called, my voice carrying across the space, steady but edge with something I could hit quite suppress.There was no response. I knocked, firm and deliberate, waiting a moment before knocking

    The road stretched ahead of me in long, empty lines that blurred the more I drove, not because I wasn't paying attention but because my mind refused to stay anchored to anything in front of me when everything inside me was focused somewhere else.On her. On that call.On the way her name had sounded in Nora's voice when she told about it, strained in a way that didn't sit right now matter how many times I tried to convince myself it could have been nothing.I tightened my grip on the steering wheel slightly, exhaling through my nose as I leaned back just a fraction, forcing myself to focus on the road long enough to keep the truck steady.“This is a bad idea.” I muttered under my breath not because I believed it enough to turn around because saying it out loud felt like acknowledging the part of me that still understood consequences.My phone sat in the cup holder beside me, the screen dark, silent in a wha that felt louder than any notification could have been.I glanced at it briefl

    The words he said did not leave the room as quickly as the other, when he had said them.They also didn't soften with time or distance. Or even breathe, because they settled into the space between us with a weight that made everything feel still.“I should punish you for that…”I did not move, not because I did not want to, but because every instinct in me understood that if I moved now, it could interpreted into something I could not take back.So instead, I held myself in place and let my breathing remain.Even my pulse climbed in a way that felt dangerously close to death, but I remained still regardless.Ben did not step closer either. That was the first thing that unsettled me, because I expected him to do that.I expected the shift into something physical, something immediately, something I could at least recognize and prepare for in a way that made sense.But instead, he remained where he was, watching me with the same careful attention that made it feel like he was waiting for

    I did not see her leave the cabin.One moment she had been standing at the kitchen counter, steady in a way that impressed me even when I knew she was shaken, and then the next, she was gone.It was the silence that alerted me.Mia did not leave noisily. She did not slam doors or yell with frustrat

    I thought choosing her publicly would quiet it. The jealousy.The sharp, restless thing in my chest that woke up every time Ben’s name existed in the same space as hers. It didn't.If anything, it got worse. Because now I had something to lose. It started small.Her phone lit up on the counter whil

    With all that was going on, I decided to take more walks. I started walking because staying felt like suffocating.Not dramatically. Not in the way movies make it look, where someone throws on a coat and runs into a storm.It was much quieter than that. I would wait until Ethan was distracted… mayb

    ‘Grief has no sound.’I read that somewhere. Some book I couldn't remember the name of. Crazy.I didn't even know that before. I always thought it was loud. One had to wail, break, collapse into pieces and make a scene. That was what I thought grieving should look like.But Ethan has a different
