(TODD’S POV)

I did not sleep well last night and it was not because I did not feel alright. It was because I felt too exited and too full of anxiety.

How could I have a regular night when I had the best night I’ve ever had in my life.

Yes, last night was amazing. Rory looked like an ethereal queen and above all, I was able to spend the night by her side, feeling so proud of how beautiful she was.

The whole Friday, day and night was totally amazing. On a serious note, it was my best day yet!

I wanted so much to call her when I was finding it hard to sleep but I did not want o overwhelm her.

So I patiently waited until morning came and it was not too early to call her. But she did not pick up my call or answer any of my text. Maybe she was still asleep, it was a long night last night after all.

But I wanted to see her or to talk to her urgently. So, to control my emotions, I decided to go to the gym room for an early morning work out.

I spent a solid and sweaty one hour exercising

  • When Best Friends Kiss   139 - Thinking About You.

    The drive back to my house was quiet, but it was a comfortable silence, a silence filled with unspoken promises and shared understanding. My hand was in his again, his thumb gently stroking the back of my hand. The streets were no longer dark and menacing; they were just streets, and the houses, once shadowy figures, were now just houses, their windows catching the morning light. The world had gone back to normal, but I knew, with an unshakable certainty, that nothing would ever be the same for me.We pulled into my driveway, and he turned off the engine, the sudden silence a stark contrast to the low rumble of the car. He turned to me, his hand still holding mine."Rory," he started, his voice a little hesitant. "About last night...""Don't," I said, my voice soft but firm. "Please don't."He looked at me, his gaze searching. "Don't what? Don't apologize? Don't tell you how much you mean to me? Don't tell you that I've been in love with you for a long time?"My breath caught in my th

  • When Best Friends Kiss   138 - Let Me Make It Up To You.

    (RORY’S POV)The world was still a blur, a whirlwind of fear and relief. Todd’s lips on mine had been a jolt, a sudden, all-consuming fire that had chased away the icy panic. The kiss was a silent promise, a declaration of something fierce and protective, and it had left me breathless and undone. When he pulled away, the silence was heavy with unspoken words, but his hand found mine, and he gave it a gentle squeeze.“Come on,” he said, his voice soft, a stark contrast to the ferocity I had seen in his eyes just moments before. “Let me make it up to you.”I didn’t argue. I didn’t have to. The look on his face, the quiet intensity in his gaze, told me that he needed this as much as I did. He led me back to my house, grabbed a picnic blanket and some snacks I had prepped for a study session, and then we were in his car, driving away from the house and the echoes of the night’s terror. The streets were still quiet, the moon hanging high in the inky sky like a silver coin. I watched the wo

  • When Best Friends Kiss   137 - Vengeance!

    ConsequencesJohn’s eyes were wide with a mix of shock and pure terror. The arrogance was gone, replaced by the raw, ugly fear I’d wanted to see. I watched as his face contorted with rage, the thin stream of blood from his nose a crimson stain against his pale skin. He looked at me, his eyes wide with a mix of shock and pure terror. I saw the fear, and a wave of grim satisfaction washed over me. This was what I had wanted. This was what he deserved. I wanted him to feel the same fear Rory had felt.I advanced on him, and he stumbled back, his hands held up in a weak, defensive posture. “Get away from me, man!” he pleaded.I laughed, a harsh, guttural sound. “No, John. Not yet. You’re going to listen to me.” I grabbed the front of his jersey, my fingers twisting the fabric. “You’re going to leave Rory alone. You’re not going to talk to her. You’re not going to look at her. You’re going to stay away from her, and you’re going to apologize.”“I’m not apologizing to that…” he started, but

  • When Best Friends Kiss   136 - It’s All Going To Be Okay

    (TODD’S POV)The cool night air was a stark contrast to the burning rage that had just consumed me. John’s bruised face was a testament to the fire I had unleashed, but the grim satisfaction I felt was already fading, replaced by the heavy weight of what I had done. I let go of his collar, his stunned, terrified expression etched in my mind, and stumbled back. He scrambled to his feet, a hand pressed to his bleeding nose, and without a single word, he took off, disappearing into the shadows of the locker rooms.I stood there for a long moment, the adrenaline slowly ebbing away, leaving me shaky and exhausted. My knuckles throbbed, a dull ache that I knew would turn into a nasty bruise by morning. I looked down at my hands, at the evidence of my rage, and a wave of regret washed over me. This wasn’t me. I wasn’t a fighter. I was the quiet, nerdy guy who kept to himself. But tonight, I had been someone else. Tonight, I had been Rory’s protector.The thought of her brought me back to re

  • When Best Friends Kiss   135 - Do You Understand?

    The short drive to John’s place felt like a lifetime. The glow of the streetlights blurred into a continuous streak as I sped past them, the rumble of my engine the only thing that could match the frantic rhythm of my heart. The anger was a living thing inside me, a churning, red-hot wave that threatened to swallow me whole. Rory’s face, pale and tear-streaked, was burned into my mind, and with every beat of my heart, I felt the rage grow.I knew this was a bad idea. Every rational part of my brain screamed at me to turn back, to go home, to find a better way to deal with this. But the rational part of my brain was quiet now, a faint, distant whisper lost in the roar of my fury. John needed to know he couldn’t get away with this. He needed to understand that there were consequences for his actions.I pulled up to the school's football field, the bright stadium lights casting long, eerie shadows. The field was mostly empty, the party apparently not as large as Ethan had suggested. I s

  • When Best Friends Kiss   135 - Rory Needs You.

    (TODD’S POV) A single text from Rosalie was all it took. The words "Rory needs you. Now." flashed on my screen, and a cold dread settled in the pit of my stomach. My heart hammered against my ribs as I threw on a hoodie and grabbed my keys. Rosalie wasn't one to panic, so for her to send a message like that, something was seriously wrong. I jumped into my car, the engine roaring to life as I peeled out of my driveway, the short drive to Rory's house feeling like an eternity. I found them in the living room, a picture of quiet devastation. Rory was curled up on the couch, wrapped in a blanket, her face pale and streaked with tears. Rosalie was sitting beside her, a protective arm around her sister. The sight of Rory, so small and broken, sent a jolt of white-hot anger through me. "What happened?" I asked, my voice coming out harsher than I intended. Rosalie looked up, her expression a mix of fury and sadness. "It was John. From the football team." My blood ran cold. "What did he
