CHAPTER NINETEEN

DAN’S POV

The morning felt slower than usual. The birds were silent, and the trees stood still. It was as if someone had pressed pause on the whole world.

Everything felt off, even though I couldn’t explain why. The only thing that kept running through my mind was Kenz. I couldn’t concentrate at practice because of him, the same thoughts, the same distractions, the same feelings I couldn’t shake off.

Even when Coach shouted my name, I barely reacted.

I was lost in thought, not

    CHAPTER TWENTY TWO KENZ'S POVHis face had a golden glow in the sunlight, a sharp chiseled jawline that looked like they were sculpted carefully by some skilled craftsman.Call me cheesy or whatever it is.I was in love with this guy. Everything just seemed so right and peaceful.We stood in front of the sea, watching waves move forth and back.I don't know why he brought me here, but it made me feel really special, more than I ever felt, and I was not willing to let this moment end.“I can see you staring at me. I'm not blind,” he said as he turned his face towards mine.“Staring at you? You're beginning to see things at this point.”“So you're calling me insane?” he said as he suddenly grabbed my waist and pulled me against him.“Dan... people are going to see us.”Heat rushed through my face. I was more scared for him than myself. I mean, what if someone from my school or his basketball team saw us? I was nobody, but him? It would ruin everything for him.“People? There's nobody h

    CHAPTER TWENTY ONE FIONA’S POV Surprisingly, I woke up happy today. For the first time in a while, things felt like they were finally getting better. The sunlight streamed through the curtains, warming my room with a soft golden glow. I stretched my hands beneath the blankets and reached for my phone.No new messages.“Hmm, that’s weird. Kenz usually texts me good morning.”He was never much of a morning texter, so that didn’t seem suspicious. I rolled onto my back and stared at the ceiling for a moment. A slight pain shot through my leg. Nothing serious, just the little bruises left from the accident.I stared at my phone again, scrolling through me and Kenz’s texts. The last few days had been weird between us. Not distant, just weird.I mean, we usually shared kisses in public. But suddenly he said he didn’t like the idea anymore. And whenever I tried to spend time with him, he always had these flimsy excuses.Sorry Fiona, I have to study.My baby, Dan, isn’t feeling well, so my a

    CHAPTER TWENTYKENZ’S POVThe door shut behind her and I just stood there for a second my heart still going a mile a minute. Part of me had really hoped it was Dan coming back even if it was just to yell at me or call me out for everything. Anything would have been better than him walking away without another word like I did not matter at all.Downstairs the kitchen light was on casting this soft yellow glow across the counters. Aunt was already there pouring two glasses of red wine. She slid one across toward me with this soft worried smile that made my chest feel tighter than it already was."Sit down honey" she said her voice gentle like she was trying not to scare me off.I sat and grabbed the glass just so my hands had something to do. My leg kept bouncing under the table like it had a mind of its own refusing to settle no matter how hard I tried."I have noticed you have been pretty quiet lately" she started keeping her voice low and careful. "Ever since you came back from the h

It was as if someone had pressed pause on the whole world.Everything felt off, even though I couldn’t explain why. The only thing that kept running through my mind was Kenz. I couldn’t concentrate at practice because of him, the same thoughts, the same distractions, the same feelings I couldn’t shake off.Even when Coach shouted my name, I barely reacted.I was lost in thought, not in a bad way, just the kind that gives you butterflies and refuses to leave you alone. My phone stayed buried in my bag, which was unusual. I normally waited for Kenz’s messages.But today, nothing felt important. I kept missing shots and messing up rebounds. It only made me more frustrated.When training ended, I didn’t stick around to talk to Coach about Boston or chat with my teammates. I just wanted to go home to Kenz. He had been acting strange ever since he came back from the hospital afte

    THE FEAR OF LETTING GOFIONA'S POVThe second Kenz walked out, I just... started crying again. Not the sad kind. These were the stupid happy tears that make your face ache because you can't stop smiling.A nurse popped in shortly after to mess with the IV taped to my hand. She took one look at me and let out this soft laugh."You've got it bad for that boy, don't you?"I turned my head away quickly, feeling my cheeks go hot. "What makes you say that?""The way you were looking at him," she said, still smiling like she'd seen this movie a hundred times. "I've seen that look before."I let out a little laugh. "Well... he finally said he loves me.""Congratulations, honey."It sounded so ordinary coming from her. But inside my chest? It felt like fireworks. He loved me. I kept rolling those words around in my head.I love you, Fiona.God, it still didn't feel real. For weeks, I'd been half convinced I was just some girl he was too nice to turn down properly. But today, he actually chose

    CHAPTER SEVENTEEN FIONA’S POV The funniest part about almost dying is that no one tells you when it’s coming. It’s not stamped. It’s just sudden. People always talk about the fear, the pain, the last voices you hear of the people you love. But nobody talks about how pathetic it is to be drowned in those thoughts. I gazed at my phone while waiting for the traffic light to change. I was caught rereading our old messages for the hundredth time. It was crazy because I knew every single detail of those messages by heart. I was also reminiscing about the time we spent together. Most of those times weren’t even special. Kenz was just there because he was happy to be there. It was as if he enjoyed my company without feeling tired, annoyed, or even overstimulated. That came as a big shock to me. I still remember the first time we met. His attractive doe eyes were the first thing that caught my attention. His innocence was written all over his face. He looked like he couldn’t hurt a fl
