Chapter 359: Too Late (Part 2) (Tyler's POV)

(Tyler's POV) Before I had a chance to put together some kind of response, Ryder continued, “You’ve always been better at everything, Tyler. You could always run that much faster. You were always that much stronger. You always scored that much higher. Everything you ever did... Everything you ever do... You just do it better than me. You can even skip a fucking stone further than I can..." he went on, scoffing at the absurdity of it but I could see that it weighed him down.I bit my lip, still not knowing what to say. To some degree it was true, but there was so much more to it."And I don't hate you for it or anything, okay?" he said, as if trying to set the record straight. "It's not like it's your fault that I couldn't measure up. It's just the way things panned out, and that's fine. I guess the pack needs a leader and that's you. You were always the one everyone looked up to and I guess I just figured that the best thing I could do was stay out of your way and not hold you back.

Chapter 360: Reflections (Ryder's POV)

(Ryder's POV)I sat on the mossy log, staring at the still surface of the pond in front of me. The air was cool and damp, the smell of earth and pine heavy in the air. I looked up as gray clouds swirled overhead, the threat of rain imminent.This was Tyler's spot, but I'd come here a couple of times before when I needed to get some space to think about shit. Back home, everything just felt so... consuming... overwhelming. Not that it was much better here. It's not like the problems just magically disappeared as soon as I stepped out the front door. But here... I don't know. It was quiet. There was no chaos.This wasn't exactly what I had had in mind when I left this morning, and truth be told, I had no clue how long I had been here. I'd turned my phone off, not wanting to have any distractions or interruptions.Kate had probably messaged, but I just needed this time to focus. To focus on this one stupid problem. A problem that shouldn't have even been a problem at all.There had been

Chapter 361: Too Late (Part 1) (Ryder's POV)

(Ryder's POV)My eyes were focused on the ripples from my failed stone-skipping attempt, but I could feel Tyler's on me, waiting for a response.His question hung in the air and I didn't know how to answer it. I didn't know what to say.With a sigh, I dragged my hand down my face. “I’m just trying to figure shit out.”The answer was a cop-out, but I didn't know what else to tell him. I was torn between letting every word and thought pour out of me so that I could just get it out in the open or shutting down completely and internalizing everything until I finally imploded.“Figure what out?” he pressed, his tone firm but not pushy.Jesus... Did I tell him? Should I just spill the fucking beans and let the chips fall where they may? Or did I keep my mouth shut and deal with it myself?The silence hung over us, heavy and awkward as I struggled to make a decision. Why did this feel so fucking complicated?!He looked like he was going to ask again, to press harder for an actual answer and

Chapter 362: Too Late (Part 2) (Ryder's POV)

(Ryder's POV)Tyler's belief in me should’ve felt reassuring, but instead, it felt like a heavy weight pressing down on my chest.“No,” I said again, more forcefully this time. “I’m just… It’s not me...”The conversation spiraled from there and we ended up in a shouting match with him trying to point out how good I had been at things like art and creative writing, as if that just somehow magically made me a more capable leader than I was giving myself credit for.It all just kept going downhill from there..."Fear of what, Ryder?! What are you afraid of?! It's sure as shit not being a disappointment because you've prided yourself on that fact for years now. So what is it? What are you so fucking afraid of?!" he snapped, his frustration and patience finally reaching its limit.“Of letting people down!” I finally admitted, the words bursting out before I could stop them. “I’m just—”But Tyler wasn't having it. Before I could even finish my sentence he spoke over me, his words tumbling o

Chapter 363: Letting Go (Ryder's POV)

(Ryder's POV)"It's not too late," Tyler murmured, his voice soft as he shook his head.But I wasn't convinced and the weight of the conversation hung over me as I stared at the still surface of the pond. It reflected the gray clouds overhead, shifting and churning in the sky above, their movements mirroring the turmoil inside me.I felt like I was staring at some part of myself. Some dark, roiling, chaotic mess that teetered on the edge of release. But I wasn’t sure whether it would end in a furious thunderstorm that would rage until it had nothing left to give, or a gentle drizzle that might wash everything clean and give life to something new.I dragged a hand through my hair and let out a long, shaky breath, figuring I had already passed the point of no return. "I don’t want to let people down, Ty,” I admitted softly. The words felt like they were being scraped out of me and like they were pulling shards of glass along with them.Tyler shifted beside me, but he didn’t say anything

Chapter 364: A Change of Heart (Katelyn's POV)

(Katelyn's POV)The house was too quiet.I had paced the living room so many times that I was pretty sure I’d worn a groove into the hardwood floor. Outside, the sky had faded into shades of amber and lavender as dusk crept in, and still, Ryder and Tyler weren’t back.When Tyler had messaged me earlier to say he’d found Ryder, I had felt relief wash over me, but it was short-lived. Found him where? Doing what? Had he said anything? No, Tyler’s message was frustratingly vague, and if I hadn’t been worried sick all day, I might have been annoyed.But now, with every passing minute, my anxiety was back in full force. I glanced down to check the time on my phone again and to see if maybe there was a new message, even though I knew there wasn't. There had been no notification sound and upon checking the time, it was confirmed that not even a minute had passed since I last checked.This was so frustrating and the seconds seemed to tick by with the most obnoxious lack of urgency.I was fairl

Chapter 365: Losing Myself (Ryder's POV)

(Ryder's POV)I sat at the desk in my studio, one leg bouncing with restless energy as I stared at the clutter of notebooks, picks, and tangled wires.One of my guitars was propped up against the wall just behind me, a silent reminder of the hours I’d spent in here, chasing riffs and mixing sounds while everything else just faded into the background.But tonight, the space felt different. Heavier.Dinner had been… a lot.We'd been having dinner together a lot more than usual these days, and Mom had insisted on cooking. Her skills in the kitchen were limited, to say the least, but she had given it her best shot and while her meatloaf was nowhere near as good as Shelly's, we all appreciated her efforts and could see that she was trying to anchor the family together.The family dinner also gave me the perfect opportunity to let Mom and Dad know about my little change of heart. As expected, Mom had cried, leaping up in the middle of dinner and insisting on a hug as she wiped tears from he

Chapter 366: A Different Technique (Part 1) (Ryder's POV)

(Ryder's POV)Kate’s fingers were in my hair, threading gently through the strands as she held me close. Her touch was soft, grounding in a way I couldn’t quite describe. The weight I’d been carrying, for days... for years... felt lighter when she was near.I let out a soft sigh, tilting my head to look up at her as her hands shifted, one cupping my cheek. Her eyes were soft and full of something I couldn’t quite put my finger on. Pride? Adoration? Love? Whatever it was, it was enough to make my chest ache in a way I'd never felt before.My gaze dropped to her hands, her fingers, slender and steady. Before I could think too hard about it I asked, “So, how’s the moving-shit-with-your-mind thing coming along?”Her fingers froze, and I immediately regretted asking.She pulled back slightly, her expression shifting into something more guarded. “It’s… it's not,” she admitted, her tone ringing with frustration.“Not?” I echoed, raising an eyebrow.Kate sighed, folding her arms over her ches

Chapter 367: A Different Technique (Part 2) (Ryder's POV)

(Ryder's POV)"These need to go," Kate whispered, her hand still caressing my throbbing member through my pants.I couldn't agree more, they felt like a fucking prison, but I had other plans."No, this needs to go," I replied, reaching down and tugging at the hem of her t-shirt.She sat up slightly as I pulled the shirt up over her head, tossing it aside carelessly as I kissed her.I held her body against mine, her skin soft and warm as she melted into me. My hands traced her curves, committing every inch of her to memory.Her body tensed as my hand wandered up her thigh, her anticipation building before she gasped against my lips as I trailed an eager finger between her folds.She was wet and hot and ready to take anything I had to give her, which only made me want her even more.Her arms were wrapped around my neck and her grip tightened as my fingers returned, this time sliding them into her depths. She moaned softly, her legs parting carelessly as she offered herself to me.I wante

Chapter 368: Phone Calls (Katelyn's POV)

(Katelyn's POV)Morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, painting soft, golden patterns on the walls. I stirred, blinking slowly as my eyes adjusted to the light. The warmth against my back was familiar, as was the face that hovered only inches from my own.There was an arm draped loosely over my waist and another on my hip. I wasn't certain whose was whose at this point, not that it mattered. All that I knew was that it felt good here, sandwiched between their warm bodies.I didn't want to move. I didn't want to disturb the perfect moment, so I stayed still, listening to their rhythmic breathing while I just wallowed in the warmth that surrounded me.I could have stayed there all day, but, of course, reality had other plans for me.It had probably been only ten minutes when my phone buzzed loudly on the nightstand beside the bed, shattering the silence and eliciting a chorus of groans on either side of me.“Jesus,” Ryder grumbled from behind me, his voice rough with sleep.“So
