CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR

The question hung between us for what felt like forever after I asked it. Kenz didn’t answer right away. He just froze with his hand halfway to the book next to him, staring at me like I’d caught him completely off guard.

Eventually, he let out this awkward, forced laugh. “What kind of question is that even supposed to be?” he asked, clearly trying to brush it off.

I folded my arms tighter, refusing to let him dodge. “It’s the kind that needs a real answer, Kenz. I’m not dr

    CHAPTER THIRTY FIVEDAN’S POVI barely slept.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Ethan’s face.Not the smug version of him everyone knew.The one from last night.The one that looked completely shattered after I told him I was in love with someone else.I wasn’t sorry for telling him the truth.I was sorry for the way I did it.The words had come out colder than I’d intended.Maybe because I was angry.Maybe because I was scared.Or maybe because I knew there was no version of that conversation where Ethan didn’t end up hurt.I rolled onto my back and stared at the ceiling.The room was unusually quiet.Sunlight slipped through the curtains, stretching across the floor.For once, nobody was blasting music outside.No cars.No shouting.Just silence.I reached for my phone on the bedside table.8:17 a.m.A few missed notifications.Three from Coach reminding everyone about practice.Two from Mason asking if I was alive.One from Kenz.Morning.Just one word.I stared at it for a few se

I’m not dropping this tonight.”He glanced at the floor and sighed, rubbing his hands together. “I think you’re just tired, and your mind is running with things.”“Yeah, I am tired,” I admitted, keeping my voice even. “But I’m not going to bed until we talk about what I overheard, because it’s obvious something’s been eating at you for a while.”The corner of his mouth twitched up briefly. “You’ve always been stubborn about stuff like this.”“I learned from the best,” I replied.He rubbed the back of his

    CHAPTER THIRTY THREE ARE YOU SURE IT'S FIONA YOU'RE INTERESTED INThe four of us rounded the lobby table, playing a game of poker cards.It wasn't unusual or anything, just normal, the vibe was slow and fun and everyone had lime juice for the hot Saturday weather.Dan was quiet and just focused on playing the right cards, while Fiona sat beside Kenz, linking her hands with his and smiling at every win Kenz got.I decided to ask a question to raise the mood of the room.“So… how exactly did you end up falling for this deadbeat?”“She’s joking,” Kenz said quickly.“I hope so,” Fiona laughed.“We’ve known each other for a while now. The funny thing is, I was actually the one who helped Kenz find his class on his first day. He got completely lost.”“Classic Kenz,” I laughed.“And when I failed my chemistry exam, he stayed up all night helping me study.”“And?” I asked.“I still failed.”Kenz covered his face.“Please don’t tell them that.”“Oh, I absolutely will.”“And he always remember

    CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO TORIA'S POV The sound of the front gate sliding open pulled my attention away from the movie I'd been pretending to watch for the last twenty minutes. I muted the television almost immediately, already knowing who it had to be because there was only one person who ever walked through those gates carrying enough bags to make it look like he was moving back home every single weekend. "Kenz!" I shouted from the living room. "If you don't get in here right now, I'm stealing everything in your bag." "I literally just got here." His voice drifted through the hallway before the front door opened, and a second later he walked inside with his backpack slung over one shoulder and a duffel bag hanging from the other. He looked tired in the way every college student seemed to after a week of lectures, but the smile that spread across his face the moment he saw me made it obvious he was just as happy to be home as I was to have him back. I hurried over without giving

    CHAPTER THIRTY ONE ETHAN’S POVI didn’t remember falling asleep.One minute I was lying there, staring at the ceiling with Dan’s words replaying over and over in my head.I’m in love with someone else.The next thing I knew, someone was yelling my name.I’m never drinking whiskey again.“Ethan.”A hand shoved my shoulder.“Ethan!”I cracked one eye open and groaned.It was Kenz.“It’s literally four thirty. Why are you disturbing my peace?”Kenz stared at me like I’d completely lost my mind.“It’s eight, dumbass. You’re late for class.”“…What?”“It’s eight o’clock.”The sleep disappeared from my body almost instantly.I shot upright so fast my head started spinning.“What time did you say it was?”Kenz folded his arms.“Did you suddenly go deaf? Eight.”“…Shit.”I threw the blanket off myself and stumbled toward the bathroom.Behind me, Kenz laughed.“You know, I was starting to think you died.”“I almost did.”“From what?”“Existing.”He snorted.“I’ll make sure they write that on

    CHAPTER THIRTY DAN’S POV I sat at the bar, my fingers drumming against the wooden countertop. The smell of alcohol lingered in the air, tempting me more than it should have. One drink would not hurt. At least, that was what my mind kept trying to convince me. I knew better. I had not touched alcohol since that night, and I was not about to start now. Still, I could not stop wondering why Ethan had asked me to meet him here. The timing felt strange. Ever since the party, guilt had settled somewhere deep inside my chest. I could not shake the feeling that whatever happened afterward somehow traced back to me. The music pounded through the club, vibrating beneath my feet. Colored lights swept across the room while people laughed, danced, and shouted over one another. Nobody paid us any attention. Good. Because I already felt exposed enough. “Thinking too hard?” His voice came from behind me. I did not even have to turn around. I would recognize that voice an

    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 drown
