To the two boys I like: Burn me the safe way Weighty Thoughts
The night air was crisp, cooling the lingering heat on Elena’s cheeks as she and Liam walked down her street.The dinner at the Carter's house had felt like a marathon, but now, out here under the dim orange glow of the streetlights, everything was quiet. It was just the two of them. Their shoes made a rhythmic, comforting clicking sound against the clean asphalt.Liam was walking close, his shoulder occasionally bumping gently against hers. His fingers were laced through hers, his palm large and warm, holding onto her with a kind of steady, unbothered certainty that made her throat feel tight.He was still buzzing from the evening, a happy, relaxed smile playing on his lips."My mom really loved you, El," he said softly, his voice a low rumble in the quiet night. "I mean, I knew she would, but she was practically beaming when we were clearing the table. And Maya? You’re officially her favorite person now. She’s probably going to demand you come over every single weekend to fix her le
To the two boys I like: Burn me the safe way Dinner and Deception
The clinking of heavy silver against fine porcelain felt like a countdown. Elena kept her eyes pinned to her plate, watching a small puddle of rosemary gravy slowly overtake a slice of roast chicken. The dining room was beautiful, bathed in a warm, amber glow from a crystal chandelier that looked far too expensive for a casual Thursday night. Everything here was intentional. The matching linen napkins, the heavy crystal water goblets, the quiet hum of the central air conditioning keeping the suburban humidity firmly outside.Directly across the mahogany table sat Richard Carter. Liam’s father looked exactly like a version of Liam who had spent twenty-five years in corporate boardrooms, his hair graying slightly at the temples but carrying that same broad-shouldered, unyielding presence."So, Elena," Richard started, setting his fork down with a small, precise click against the porcelain. He leaned forward, resting his forearms on the table, his sharp eyes locking onto her with a kin

Every step up the staircase felt like ascending a platform toward an execution. The walls were lined with more photographs, a visual timeline of a perfect life. Liam as a chubby baby. Liam holding a little league trophy. Liam grinning with his arm around a tiny, toddler-aged Maya. There was no sadness here. No secrets.Maya dragged her into a bright, messy bedroom filled with stuffed animals and bright pink plastic toys. A half-finished lego structure sat in the dead center of the carpet, looking slightly lopsided."See?" Maya said, dropping to her knees on the rug and pointing to the plastic bricks. "Liam tried to fix the roof but his hands are too big and he just smashed the front gate. He's so clumsy when he's not playing sports. Are your hands small, Elena? Can you fix the gate?"Elena slowly sank down onto the floor, tucking her legs beneath her skirt, her binder resting against her knees. She picked up a small white lego piece, her fingers trembling slightly as she tried to foc

It was a complete copy-and-paste job. Elena sat on the edge of her mattress for a good ten minutes, staring at the flashing vertical cursor on her phone screen until her eyes went blurry. Her thumbs felt like lead blocks. She typed out six words, deleted them, then typed them out again.“I think I caught a flu, sorry.”She sent it to Liam first. The blue bubble popped up, neat and clean. Then she navigated over to the purple folder, opened the second chat window, and pasted the exact same sentence into the bar. Send. A cold, mechanical shortcut to buy herself twenty-four hours of breathing room.It worked. That was the pathetic part. It actually did the trick without a single hitch. Liam replied almost instantly with three paragraphs of pure, agonizing worry, telling her to drink hot lemon water and rest up for the weekend. Noah didn't reply at all for three hours, just sending a single letter back later that evening. “K.”Both of them stayed exactly where her calendar app wanted th
To the two boys I like: Burn me the safe way The Screen of Two Sides
The kitchen was too bright.Wednesday afternoon sunlight poured through the massive bay windows, hitting the white marble island and making everything look sterile. Clean.Elena poked at her food with a heavy silver fork, her appetite completely gone, though she forced herself to keep up appearances.Claire was sitting right across from her, sipping her green tea and eating slowly. It was supposed to be a quiet, normal afternoon. A small breathing room before the evening chaos.Then the phone buzzed.The sound was sharp, a violent rattle against the solid stone counter that made Elena’s shoulders lock up instantly. She didn't move. She didn't breathe. Two seconds later, it gave a second, identical vibration.Elena reached out, her fingers slick against the glass as she slid the phone toward her lap, keeping it well below the edge of the island, out of her mother’s direct line of sight.She tapped the screen, her heart instantly doing that familiar, heavy thud against her ribs.The fir

"Congratulations. I heard the rumors."The words dropped like heavy, cold stones into the quiet space beneath the old south stairwell. Elena froze, her foot hovering right above the third concrete step.Noah was leaning back against the metal handrail, his hands deep inside the pockets of his dark hoodie, his ankles crossed loosely. He had been waiting for her. He knew exactly which route she took to get to the chemistry labs after the second bell, the one hallway the seniors mostly ignored because the lights were constantly flickering.Elena's throat went entirely dry. She dropped her heavy binder a few inches, clutched it tight against her stomach, and looked at him. Her mouth opened, but for three seconds, nothing came out. The digital image from the school feed was still burned into the back of her eyelids."Noah," she started, her voice coming out a thin, desperate whisper. She took a step closer to the shadows under the landing, away from the open corridor. "Listen to me. The
