The Us Between Chaos Epilogue
Paris’ P.O.V.Mom recovered her speech now. She can talk normally, laugh even — though her left hand still refuses to move. But she’s alive, and that’s enough.Dad changed too. It was like he was reborn — sober, gentle, the kind of man I used to wish existed. After I graduated from high school, he went back to the Philippines and started a food business. It became a hit, just like he always dreamed. He quit drinking, gained back the light in his eyes, and for once, he and Mom worked together — really together. Their laughter would echo through calls, and every time I heard them, I wondered what it would’ve been like if you were still here to see it, Syd.I took Architecture, just like we promised each other we would. I graduated cum laude. Who’s stupid now, Sydney?I still remember that night we stayed up talking about our futures. We sneaked out while Mom was asleep, walked to 7/11, bought instant noodles and cheap snacks, and ate them on the roof while staring at the moon.“I’m not s
The Us Between Chaos Cockaigne
I stared down the aisle, my chest tight, and saw Hade waiting at the end, tears shimmering in his eyes. His smile was small but genuine, and it cut me deeper than any words could. With every step I took on the red carpet, the world seemed to shrink to just us—our first meeting, the laughter we shared, the quiet moments no one else knew about. Each memory felt like a weight pressing against my chest. I memorized every detail of him, how the light caught his hair, the way his lips quivered as he tried to hold back emotion. He looked so happy, and yet the happiness wasn’t mine to share.I reached the end of the aisle and smiled at him, trying to steady myself. I mouthed a quiet congrats before stepping aside for Victoria, for the woman he chose. I watched his gaze shift from me to her. The warmth in his smile for her—it wasn’t the same for me. It was a smile meant for someone else, and the sound of the crowd cheering for her echoed like a drum in my chest, marking each beat with sharp pai
The Us Between Chaos Dream Reality
We walked around the hospital grounds. To the right, a golf course stretched in the morning haze, and to the left, the hospital buildings loomed. An elderly couple strolled along the trail, laughing quietly. They seemed so alive, so present in the moment. I smiled faintly, wishing Mom could be out there with her friends instead of lying flat on a hospital bed."What do you want to talk about, Sydney?" Hade asked. I looked at him, then quickly away. My chest tightened. I knew exactly why I wanted to tell him how I felt, despite the complexity of everything. But this wasn’t a distraction—I wasn’t letting it be.I glanced back at him and forced a smile, shaking my head. Hade stopped and stared. I froze, then stepped back toward him."You don’t have to rush it, Sydney. I’m willing to wait this time," he said, smiling. My mouth opened slightly, but no words came. His face was genuine—serious in a way that made my heart both ache and race. I smiled back and nodded."Sydney!" The sharp voice
The Us Between Chaos Ghost of yesterday
After a long night of thinking and processing everything that had happened this year, I decided it was time to push my luck a little further. Mom had recovered, and Paris was finally becoming responsible. I’d given them what they needed, and for once, I didn’t have to carry the weight of worry on my shoulders. Surely, risking a little heartbreak from someone else couldn’t break me.I messaged Hade to meet me at the restaurant where he first woke from his coma. I reserved the same room, the same time—everything just like before. It was still dawn, and I hadn’t slept. Lately, sadness clung to me like a shadow, and I kept overthinking everything. I was distant, aloof, but careful not to show it—so I wouldn’t have to explain myself.I slid the comforter off my legs and walked to the balcony, sitting down as I stared at the dark sky. The moon shone alone; the stars were invisible behind the clouds.I want to take the risk. I’ll tell Hade I like him—but then what? Am I ready for this? Do I r
The Us Between Chaos Fernweh
I was baffled. Everything seemed to be moving at eight times the normal speed, like someone had hit fast-forward on my life. In the span of a year, I suddenly achieved almost everything I had dreamed of. Mom had returned to normal, as if the stroke had never happened. Paris had become responsible overnight, abandoning her lazy habits. Dad… well, Dad having his own company, and Enzo, Kurt, and Arnie all acting like real people with normal lives—it was surreal, almost unreal.Even having Jarred around seemed like something out of a storybook. Who just takes care of you like that, aside from a loving mother if you’re lucky enough? And me—one of the rising writers, traveling anywhere with mom and Paris without worrying about money? It was so unreal I almost had to pinch myself.I walked toward the stairs, my mind spinning. Last night, I had called Jarred and asked him to meet me today; there was something I wanted to discuss, something only he would understand. Mom and Paris were sitting o
The Us Between Chaos Hiraeth
Victoria had transferred to our school just last semester, and now we were already in our second week of classes. Somehow, we ended up in all the same subjects—and, as luck would have it, she sat beside me in every single one.Victoria loved to talk. She told me all about herself: her love for shopping, her obsession with games—and, naturally, how she first met Hade, back when he was Tycen. She casually mentioned how she fell for him… and how he confessed to her first.I felt a pang in my chest. It shouldn’t have mattered. I’d told myself our relationship was purely friendship back then. Hade had never made a move on me—not that I was expecting him to. But now? Now, after everything, why was he seeking me out? If Victoria hadn’t filled his heart, then what about me? I had nothing but my family, my studies, and… well, me.After class, we headed toward the Oreo building. Victoria eagerly joined the Malikhain under Hank’s guidance—Hade was there too, of course. Listening to Victoria gush
