Unraveled (M x M romance) CHAPTER 105 (THE END)
ELLIOT“Elliot, we’re going to be late.” Asher’s voice came from the living room.“I’ll be right there,” I called back.I smoothed down my shirt, tucking the front more firmly into my jeans as I checked myself out in the mirror.I looked good, if I dared to say that myself. Not that it mattered, since it wasn’t like I was going to a fancy party.We were just going to have dinner with our parents.But I didn’t care. I believed you had to look good regardless of the situation. Yeah, I’d been hanging out too much with Sebastian these days. He really wasn’t that bad once you got to know him.I didn’t want to jinx it, but everything was going nicely.Our friends were as supportive as ever, our relationship was going great, we’d finally rented an apartment of our own after pooling our savings together.Our apartment wasn’t huge. It was small and slightly overpriced and the plumbing made concerning noises whenever someone showered too long. But it was ours, and that was all that mattered.As

ASHER“When I walked in on you both that day, all I could think was that my family was falling apart. Again.” She took in a shaky breath. “I panicked.”“I know.”“And then everything spiraled so quickly after that,” she went on. “Suddenly Simon was angry and kicked Elliot out of the house, then you moved out…”“Mum—”“No, let me finish.”I immediately fell silent.“I kept asking myself where I went wrong,” she admitted quietly. “I kept thinking maybe I failed somehow as a mother.”An ache blossomed in my chest.“You didn’t fail.”Her eyes met mine finally.“Then why does it feel like I’ve lost my son?”The pain in her voice nearly broke me.I set the cup down immediately and turned toward her fully.“You’ve not lost me.”“It feels like I have,” she whispered. “You stopped looking at me the same way. And when you left the house…” her voice cracked, “…it felt unbearable.”Guilt hit me so hard I almost felt sick.“I’m sorry,” I said immediately. “I never wanted to hurt you.”She shook he

ASHERI stayed in the waiting room, long after Elliot was gone.I had one ear tuned in for any sounds of shouting or fighting or breaking things coming from Simon’s room. So far, there has been none. Not even Elliot storming out of Simon’s room as I feared has happened yet.Which meant everything was going well.Right?They were both stubborn people so I didn’t know how productive the conversation was going to be or how well it was going to go. I just had to hope that a miracle had happened.I stared at the ugly painting on the wall, the same one I’d been staring at for the past twenty minutes, as I waited for Elliot to come out.I winced as I rotated my neck from side to side. I felt like shit. I probably smelled like one too. Everywhere hurt.I definitely needed to head home for a little while for a shower and a change of clothes but I couldn’t leave Elliot alone just yet. Not before I knew the outcome of his conversation with his father.I rubbed tiredly at my eyes and leaned back

ELLIOTHis bloodshot eyes snapped to mine.My throat tightened. “When I said I wished you were dead… I didn’t mean it. I was just so angry, because it felt like you didn’t care. That you didn’t care that Mum and Daniel were gone. That you didn’t care if I lived or died—”“I do care,” he cut in gently, his voice raw. “I care so much. Much more than you could ever imagine.”I ran a hand through my hair, frustrated. “But I never got that from you. You were so carefree after they died. It was like they weren’t that important to you. It took you only months to start dating again.”His gaze dropped down, like he was ashamed. “I was hurting really badly. I felt so… lonely. I just needed company. I agree that wasn’t probably the best thing to do at that moment but…” He exhaled shakily. “I just needed someone. I needed to feel something other than grief.”“I was right there.” My voice cracked slightly. “Just like you, I was lonely too. I needed someone too. More than anyone, I needed my fathe

ELLIOTI barely slept.Not that I expected anything different.Hospitals weren’t exactly designed for rest. Between the constant beeping of machines, the squeaking shoes against polished floors and the nurses walking in and out of rooms at ungodly hours, sleep felt impossible.But even without all that, I still wouldn’t have slept.My mind refused to shut off.Every time I closed my eyes, I kept replaying the image of Dad lying in that hospital bed.Then my brain would immediately follow it up with the last thing I said to him.By morning, I felt sick with exhaustion.Asher was asleep beside me in one of the uncomfortable waiting room chairs, his head tilted awkwardly against the wall.I stared at him for a moment.His brows remained furrowed even while asleep.Warmth settled deeply in my chest.He stayed the entire night with me despite his own issues with hospitals.Because of me.I rubbed tiredly at my face before quietly standing up.The movement must’ve disturbed him because his

ELLIOTThe relief that hit me was so overwhelming it almost made me dizzy.I hadn’t even realized how terrified I’d been until that moment.My legs carried me closer to the bed automatically.Dad remained asleep, his breathing slow and even beneath the oxygen cannula resting beneath his nose.I let out a short breath.A laugh almost escaped me then. It wasn’t because anything was remotely funny, but because all I could think was I’d been so happy to see my Dad before.What did it say that the happiest I felt seeing my dad was when he was lying in a hospital bed fighting for his life?I stared at him for a long moment.Despite everything that had occurred between us, all I felt right then was sharp, almost painful relief.I swallowed hard.“I’ll… wait outside,” I murmured quietly.Neither Margaret nor Asher stopped me.I stepped out into the hallway quickly before the pressure in my chest exploded.The room suddenly felt too small, too suffocating. Everything felt unbearable.I didn’t

ELLIOTElsa rolled her eyes. “Seriously, who came up with that stupid rule in the first place? And why the hell did we agree to it?”Lucas shoved her lightly. “Hey, watch it. That was me. And in my defense, I was drunk. I just wanted to have fun. It’s you guys’ fault for listening to me and taking

ELLIOTNews kind of travelled faster than I imagined.But then again, it was campus and people tended to be bored. They thrived on gossip.And what was juicier than stepbrothers dating?Asher and I had become the topic of attention. They didn’t know the true facts of our relationship, they only kne

ASHERSimon froze. Like he couldn’t believe I was defending Elliot.Slowly, his eyes shifted to me.“What?”I met his gaze and didn’t look away.“I don’t think your assessment of Elliot is fair,” I repeated, firmer this time.Simon’s brows furrowed. “Excuse me?”“You’re talking about him like he ju

ASHERElsa studied me like she was trying to peel me apart layer by layer.Houston still looked a little dazed. “I didn’t even know you liked guys.”Lucas snorted. “Neither did I.”“If you’d like to know,” I interrupted, “I like a little bit of everything. Gender is irrelevant.”That pulled a small
