Jake

I passed by him, trying to reach the bathroom door to escape. My heart was racing, my throat dry, and all I wanted was to get out of that enclosed space because it felt dangerous to be there, especially because of the agreement with Thomas.

Shit.

He didn’t give me time to finish the sen

    ThomasThe apartment was far too quiet when we arrived.I had imagined being here differently—imagined a small place filled with life, with Kiara moving around, with the babies crying, making noise, filling every corner with something real. I had pictured chaos, warmth, interruptions… a life.But there was nothing.Only silence.Not the kind of silence you look for when you need to rest or think. Not the kind that comforts you. This was a hollow silence—heavy, uncomfortable. It crept into every corner, echoing inside my head, pressing against my chest. Since the moment we walked in, I hadn’t been able to get used to it.The absence of everything was unbearable.The walls felt narrower somehow. The air was different. There was no constant movement, no voices in the background, no footsteps echoing down a hallway. No presence of others, even in quiet moments.Just emptiness.I dropped my backpack near the couch and stood there for a few seconds, not really knowing what to do next.I had

    ThomasI never thought loving someone could hurt this much until I met Kiara.I always knew she hadn’t fully forgotten Jake. That truth had always lingered somewhere in the back of my mind, like a shadow I chose to ignore. But I never believed it would come to this. I told myself that if it ever did—if one day she chose him over me—I would be mature enough to understand it. I convinced myself I was prepared.After everything I had been through—the gunshot, the hospital, the constant feeling of standing on the edge between life and death, fighting for just one more day—I thought nothing could hit me harder than that. I thought I had already endured the worst kind of pain a person could feel.I was wrong.This… this was worse. Far worse than the bullet that had torn through my body. That pain had been physical, sharp, immediate—but it had an end. It could be numbed, treated, healed. What I felt now was something entirely different. This pain didn’t have a clear source I could touch or r

    Kiara After I confessed my love to Jake, I understood that he was quickly falling asleep from the sedatives, just like he had said. Was he seriously falling asleep right now? Right when I told him I love him? His hand rested on the white sheet, limp, completely surrendered, and his chest barely m

    JakeThe first thing I did when I woke up was think of Kiara, of her terrified eyes watching me bleed out.The fast memory of what happened crossed my mind like the bullet through my chest. I felt the pain spread through my body as a reminder that I had almost been killed. I didn’t even know how it

    JakeI woke up suddenly, scared, as if I were in the middle of a war again. My eyelids burned the moment they opened and the white hospital light was too intense for my tired eyes. Everything looked blurry, slow, as if my thoughts took too long to reach me, and weakness kept taking over my body and

    KiaraThe hours at the hospital felt eternal and exhausting. Waiting and dealing with uncertainty weren’t working for me. Waiting for news and remembering what happened was all our brains could think about and constantly relive. I was exhausted, with my emotions raw and exposed. That was exactly ho
