His Refusal

Serena POVI feel calm in a way I can’t explain. The weight that always lingers, the constant suffocating pressure, is gone. I wasn’t sure what my plan was when I walked in here. I woke up, heard the shower running, and something inside me just moved, pulling me toward the sound, toward him.The moment I stepped inside, I saw him. Water running over his tense body, hands braced against the tiles, muscles locked tight. When I touched him, he jerked like I had shocked him. His body reacted before his mind could stop it. That reaction sent a thrill through me, something I hadn’t felt in so long.I step further into the shower, walking around until I stand directly in front of him.“Firefly, out,” he mutters, voice tight.I move closer instead. There’s something about him that makes me want to be near him, that makes me crave that feeling he gives me, the one where I feel real, feel alive.“You didn’t fuck me,” I whisper, searching his face. I’m not saying it because I feel like I need hi

His Reasons

Serena POVI press closer, my hands still against his chest, feeling the steady rise and fall of his breathing. His skin is warm beneath my fingers, solid, grounding. I don’t know what this feeling is, this pull between us that I’ve spent years ignoring, but it’s there, impossible to push away.I move without thinking, tilting my head up, my lips barely brushing his jaw. His breath hitches, his hands twitching where they still rest over mine. Encouraged, I move higher, my mouth ghosting along his neck, tasting the heat of his skin.But then he grips my wrists and pulls my hands away.“Stop.” His voice is rough, controlled, but there’s tension behind it, like he’s barely holding himself together.I frown, trying to step into him again, but he holds me back, shaking his head. “Not like this. Not until I know you’re not just going to walk away again.”I laugh, not because it’s funny but because I don’t understand. “So you spent all those years waiting for me, and now that I’m right in fr

Still Unsure

Serena POVI shake my head, my throat tightening. “You say you love me. You say you waited for me. But the moment I try to give you what you’ve been waiting for, you reject me. You call me out on my shit, but what about yours? You’re standing here, acting like some fucking saint, like you’re above me, but you’re the one who doesn’t even know how to want someone without making it some big fucking deal.”Jace’s jaw clenches, his whole body tensing like he’s barely keeping himself from snapping. “You don’t get it. I don’t just want you, Serena. I love you. I have since we were kids, and no matter how much I’ve tried to push it down, no matter how much I’ve tried to forget, it’s still there. I didn’t wait for you just because I was holding onto some fantasy. I waited because I wanted my first time to mean something, and I wanted it to be with you. But I won’t touch you until I know you aren’t going to disappear on me again.”The intensity in his voice, the sheer force behind his words, ne

Asking Her Question

Jace POVShe thinks she can break me down, that if she pushes hard enough, I’ll cave. But I won’t. It’s not about what I want, because of course I want her. But if I give in, if I let her twist this into something casual, something that doesn’t mean anything, then I’m just feeding into her delusions. I’m enabling her, and I won’t do it. Maybe I’m fucked up for holding sex over her like some kind of bargaining chip, for refusing to touch her until she promises to stay, but it’s the only leverage I have.It’s a weak power, but it’s all I’ve got.I pour myself a drink, sitting down, giving her time to process, to decide what the hell she’s going to do next. I’ve said what I needed to say. Now it’s her turn.“You think it’s easy,” she whispers, her voice distant, like she’s talking more to herself than to me.I sigh, rubbin

Unusual Behavior

Jace POV“Do you black out often?” I ask carefully, watching her reaction.“If I’m too late with my meds, yeah. Sometimes when I have manic episodes, I don’t remember everything either, but it’s mostly when I forget my meds. That’s when it gets really bad—when I start feeling like things are crawling on me, when I get paranoid and can’t focus on anything.”A cold knot tightens in my stomach. That doesn’t sound right. Missing one dose of her meds shouldn’t send her spiraling like that, not in just a few hours. I stare at her, the pieces not fitting together the way they should.Something’s wrong. And whether she realizes it or not, someone’s been fucking with her.I guide her toward the bed, keeping my grip steady as I ease her down. She’s exhausted, I can see it in the way her body sways, in the way she keeps blinking like she’s struggling to stay ground

His Words

Serena’s POVWaking up alone, an uneasy feeling spreads through me. I already know I’m late taking my pills before I even look at the time. My body feels off, restless. I move quickly, getting dressed while scanning the room for Jace, but he’s nowhere to be seen.I don’t like waiting around.Sighing, I leave and start walking through the building. There’s only one floor I can access; the others need codes, and I don’t have one. As I move through the rooms, searching for Jace, my irritation grows. The longer I walk, the more aware I become of the fact that I don’t know this place.I push open a door and groan when I see it’s just a basic storage closet filled with cleaning supplies. As I turn, I hear something—footsteps? My head whips around, but there’s nothing there. I swallow hard, shaking off the feeling, and keep searching, opening doors, stepping into empty rooms, finding nothing. Still, tha

Back home

Serena POVSomething still doesn’t feel right. But at least, for now, I’m present.I walk ahead of him and step into the house. It’s quiet, but that doesn’t matter.“You’re late,” Dale snaps, making me turn just as he steps into the room. He stops when he sees Jace, his gaze flickering between us, questioning.“She needs her meds,” Jace says, his tone firm. “She’s also moving out.” There’s no room for argument in his voice, no space for discussion.Dale shifts his attention between me and Jace before settling on him. “And you are?” he asks, stepping forward. “I can’t just hand over her medication to you and trust you with it. Her father won’t agree to this either.”“I’m not a child!” I snap, my frustration boiling over.“Then stop acting like a fucking idiot!” Dale yells, his voice sharp enoug

Unsure Of Him

Jace POVI don’t fucking trust Dale. Not one bit. The whole setup is wrong. It doesn’t add up. I dug into him, expecting to find something—anything—but he’s clean. Too clean. Not a single complaint filed, no reports that were submitted and then withdrawn, not even whispers of anything shady.That alone makes me suspicious.His whole operation with the apartments is supposed to be about helping people who can’t afford their own place, letting them save money. But it doesn’t feel right. Nothing about him does.And the way he gives her her meds? That pisses me off the most. Like she’s incapable of putting them in her own damn mouth. Sure, he claims she used to hide them, that she stashed them away instead of taking them, but even that feels like a carefully crafted excuse.She doesn’t remember doing it—only remembers him finding the pills. And that’s a big fucking diff

Differences

Jace POVI stare at her. I don’t move and neither does she.Her pulse thrums beneath my fingers, wild but steady, like she’s caught in the middle of something she doesn’t know how to process. Her breath is slow, but her eyes, her eyes are locked onto mine, like I just cracked open something inside her she didn’t even know was there.I should let go. I should. But I don’t. Because for the first time since we walked in here, she’s present. She’s not pacing, not vibrating with unchecked energy, not pushing every boundary she can find just to get a reaction.She’s just here. Her lips part like she’s about to say something, but nothing comes out. Instead, her tongue darts out, wetting her bottom lip, and I feel her throat move against my palm.I exhale sharply through my nose, forcing myself to let go. My fingers slide away from her throat, slow, deliberate, making sure she knows I’m the one in control of this moment. Not her.The second she’s free, her hands lift, her fingers brushing ove

What He's Done

Jace POVMy mind replays every second of this morning, trying to pick apart what doesn’t fit. Then it clicks.No.The pill Dale tried to put in her mouth, that wasn’t one of these, and she took it.“That’s not right,” I mutter, shaking my head.Rich looks up at me, raising a brow. “What?”“She was about to take them from Dale’s hand, and I saw them. One of them wasn’t a tablet, it was a capsule,” I say slowly, my pulse kicking up. “Not like these. Not a normal, solid pill. It was blue and fucking different.”Rich leans back in his chair, rubbing his jaw. “You sure?”I nod. “Positive. I snatched them before he could place them in her mouth, then I gave her them to take them herself. But Dale didn’t argue. Didn’t even fucking hesitate. If I was messing with someone’s meds, I’d at least try to cover my ass.”Rich considers this, his fingers tapping rhythmically against the desk. I don’t wait for him to say anything before continuing.“She also keeps losing money. Like, entire chunks of i
