Todd’s Plan.

(RORY'S POV)I took a deep breath."Yes, I do have something that I need to tell you." I agreed."Okay. Shoot. I'm listening." Todd said, his fingers idly drawing circles on my body."It's about the Williams." I started. "Amanda told me something. Something really bad about them."Todd's whole body went still. I felt it, the way he tensed up beside me.He turned to me. "Did you tell Amanda what's going on?" He asked me.Oops! I felt my stomach churn and a feeling of guilt washed over me. Like I had done something bad."Yes I did." I admitted.Todd's face fell. He did not look angry or annoyed, just worried."Rory we can't just tell anyone about what's going on." He told me softly."I know. I trust Amanda. With my own life." I protested. "She is a good friend. And I am sorry that I didn't check with you first but I just had this hunch that she was going to tell me something useful and important."My hand reached for Todd's."And she did." I said with my eyes lit up in excitement.Todd

Please Come Back To Me.

(RORY’S POV)“Don’t worry baby. I have a plan.” He said. “A plan?” I repeated . I want to get a recording of Denver Williams while he talks about how much he owns me. To do that, I need to rile him up a little. I want to ignore him until later. Maybe after the game when he comes to see me himself.""Todd." I said.I didn't need to say too much. He knew that I was scared and with every right. Denver Williams was not someone you played games with. He was dangerous and unpredictable and he had already shown that he was willing to threaten people."It's okay. I promise I'll be careful." He assured me."Please, please do." I begged.I wanted to tell him not to do it, that it was too dangerous. The words were right there on my tongue, ready to come out. But I knew he had to try. I knew that this might be the only way to get proof, to have something that could actually help Tia and maybe even save Todd from whatever the Williams had planned for him.Still, the thought of him being alone wi

The Leslie Smile.

(RORY'S POV)"Goooo Wildcat!" Nana yelled shaking her pompoms.The sound was so loud that people around us turned to look. Nana didn't care. She never did at games. Her whole face was lit up, eyes fixed on the court even though the players hadn't come out yet."Nana!" Rosalie whined as she cleaned her face carefully and pushed away the pompoms that Nana had accidentally stuck in her face. "They aren't even out yet."Nana turned to Rosalie with a displeased look on her face. The kind she gave when someone interrupted her groove."Are you sure you're not supporting the Horses?" Nana asked, referring to the opposing team.Rosalie looked confused. Her eyebrows came together. "Why would I be supporting the Horses?" She asked in surprise. "They are from Rockycove, two whole towns away from us.""Well you are a mood spoiler and that's why I am not sure if you are here for this team. Here for the Wildcats." Nana stuck out her tongue at Rosalie and turned back to face the court. "Goooo Wildcat

Never The Prize.

(RORY'S POV)"Why the hell are you looking at me like I grew a second head?” Leslie said coming closer.I could not speak, I could not move. I could feel everyone’s attention as it shifted to me. Rosalie stepped closer to me. I could feel her body tense up beside mine. She knew who Leslie was. Everyone knew who Leslie was.Leslie walked closer, her heels clicking against the concrete. Her friends followed behind like loyal puppies, smirking."What's the matter, Rory?" Leslie said, tilting her head. "Cat got your tongue? Or did Todd finally realize you're not worth his time and now you're hiding behind your sister?"A few people nearby stopped what they were doing. They turned to watch. I hated that. I hated being watched."Leave us alone." I said. My voice came out smaller than I wanted. Quieter.“What a baby!” Joy said from behind with a mean cackle. I could feel Rosalie beside me and she was tensed up. Almost like she was ready to fight. Leslie laughed. That fake, tinkling laug

The Real Fight.

(TODD'S POV)"O'Connor!" A hand came down on my shoulder, pulling me to the present.Laurel was looking at me with an expression that looked like he was observing a spider."What's wrong?" He asked me. "It's just the Horses. You should not be scared of them."I realized he thought I was nervous for a game. When have I ever been nervous for any game?Never."I was just thinking." I said as I bent down to finish up tightening my laces. I finished up and stole a glance at Chad.He was getting ready for the game too, nodding as he listened to something on his headphones. His face was calm. Normal. Like he hadn't been terrorizing Rory for weeks. Like he hadn't written those disgusting notes. Like he hadn't stood in front of her locker this morning and slipped another one inside.The anger rose in my chest again. Hot. Thick. Hard to breathe around."Todd!" Laurel gave me another brief shake. I turned to him and he still had that funny look on his face."That won't be necessary." He said.I

How To Be A Man.

(TODD'S POV)The crowd was still going crazy around me. People hugging me, patting my back, shouting my name. But I couldn't hear any of it.All I could see was him.Denver Williams stood at the edge of the court, near the players' tunnel. He wasn't cheering. He wasn't clapping. He just stood there in his perfect suit, his cold eyes locked on me.Waiting.I felt my stomach drop. The win, the joy, the celebration—it all faded away. There was only him.I looked toward the stands. Rory was still there, laughing with Rosalie. She hadn't seen him yet. Good. I didn't want her to see this.I needed to handle this myself.I excused myself from my teammates, from the reporters trying to grab me for interviews, from everyone. I hurried back to the locker room, took my phone and then pushed past the crowds as I walked toward the tunnel.Denver didn't move. He just watched me approach.When I got close enough, he spoke."Congratulations on the win." His voice was smooth. Too smooth. "Get in the

His Car Is Still There.

(RORY'S POV)"Rory, what do you think?"I looked up at Nana's twinkling eyes, lit up with excitement and watched her face fall and turn into a pout as she realized that I had not been listening to her."I'm so sorry, Nana." I pleaded with a tired sigh. I had zoned out, my phone in my hand was my only focus.Todd.I was waiting for him, thinking of why he had not replied to my texts or why his number was not going through. It was an hour since the game ended. An hour since I watched him disappear into the tunnel. An hour of nothing.Ten minutes past nine by the clock but my house was alive and noisy. Dad had gotten home a couple of minutes ago and Aunt Ryan not long after, so everyone was in the living room and seemed to be filling each other with the details of the evening.Or so I thought, until Nana called my attention and I realized that I had no idea what we were talking about."Are you thinking of the night's champion?" Nana asked wriggling her eyebrows at me.Dad looked up from

The Dot On The Map.

(RORY'S POV)I stood there on the porch, still holding Martha's cold hands, my mind racing."We have to find him." I said. The words came out before I could think.Or maybe I just wasn’t thinking at all. “We have to find him.” I repeated. Martha nodded, tears still wet on her cheeks. "I don't know where to look. I've tried everywhere. I've called everyone.""I'll come with you." I said quickly. She looked at me with surprise in her red eyes. "Your family won't let you. Your grandmother—""I'll handle it." I said cutting her sentence off. "Just wait here. Give me five minutes."I turned and went back inside before I could lose my nerve.The living room was quiet when I walked in. Too quiet. Everyone was sitting there, pretending to watch TV, but I knew they had been talking about me. About Martha. About what was happening.Nana looked up first. "What did she want?"I took a deep breath. "She needs my help. Todd is missing. His car is still at the arena and no one has heard from him.

Hit And Run.

(THIRD PERSON POV)The parking lot was cold. The kind of cold that seeps into your bones and stays there.Rory knelt on the ground beside Todd, her hand still wrapped around his. His fingers were limp, cold, but she held on anyway. She couldn't let go. If she let go, she might lose him.Martha was on the phone, her voice high and shaking as she gave directions to the person on the phone l. "Please hurry. Please. He's bleeding. He's not waking up. Please."The ambulance would come. It had to come.But first, another set of headlights cut through the darkness.A car screeched to a stop beside them. The door flew open before the engine even died.George O'Connor ran toward them.He was still in his work clothes, his tie loose around his neck, his face pale and wild. He looked like a regular doctor with his doctor's face, but right now, just a father's face."Todd!" He dropped to his knees on the other side of his son. His hands went to work immediately—checking pulse, feeling for breath,

Heavy. Real. Permanent.

(RORY'S POV) I walked through the front door, and the darkness wrapped around me like a blanket. The house was not completely dark. A single lamp glowed in the living room, casting soft light into the hallway where I stood. It seemed like everyone had gone to bed. The clock on the wall said it was well past midnight. I could hear it ticking. Loud in the silence. I walked further in and noticed that someone was still awake. Dad sat in his armchair, waiting. He wasn't reading. Wasn't watching TV. Just sitting there with his hands clasped in front of him, staring at the door like he had been doing it for hours. When I stepped inside, he stood up immediately. "Rory." He crossed the room in three long strides and pulled me into a hug. Tight. Protective. The kind of hug he hadn't given me since I was little, since before Mom died, since before everything got complicated. I buried my face in his chest, letting his familiar scent calm me down. "I'm okay, Dad," I said into his chest. Bu
