Carrying Her Gently (Part II)

~ Seraphina’s POV ~The sound of glass breaking echoes and rechoes in my head, and the sound is loud and sharp in my head.I’m not sure what I see first when he came in. I don’t know if it's the glint and the fire from when he shot the gun or the way his body slams over mine, hard and fast, a wall of warmth and muscle pressing me flat against the mattress.He casually has a gun?He causally has a gun!Oh my God.His breath is in my ear. His heartbeat thunders against my back.‘Don’t move,’ he growls.I freeze. Not just because he says it, but because I physically can’t do anything else. Every inch of me is vibrating. It is shaking like I’m being peeled out of my own skin.I can’t think.I can’t blink.I can’t breathe without hearing that shot again. It keeps ringing—over and over again in my brain.Jonathan shifts. Just enough to aim past me. His hand is steady. Too steady. Like this isn’t the first time he’s had to do this.Like violence is a language he speaks fluently.Something cr

Firelight and Fault Lines

~ Seraphina’s POV ~The fire crackles.It’s the only sound in the room besides our breathing.Jonathan hasn’t said anything in a while. He’s just sitting there, still and silent. His eyes are fixed on the flames. His bruised knuckles rest against his thigh. His jaw is set like stone. But his eyes, they’re soft now.Like he’s trying not to look too hard. Like he’s giving me space to not break if I don’t want to.But I feel like I already am.Piece by piece.And it’s terrifying.I sit on the bed, still maintaining my position with my knees close to my chest and my arms hugging it tight to me, with a blanket tight around me. I’m trying to act like I’m fine. Like the sharp ringing in my ears has stopped. Like the glass isn’t still in my hair. Like I didn’t almost get killed and I knew nothing about it. Like they didn't creep on me when I had no idea they would. Like I didn’t watch Jonathan become a weapon in front of me. By bully that has hurt me over my years in high school had saved me

Bruised Vows

~ Jonathan’s POV ~She’s asleep.Not fully. Not peacefully.But her head is still on my shoulder, and her breathing’s evened out enough to tell me she’s slipped into something close to rest. Maybe exhaustion forced it. Maybe the fire lulled her into something safe for once.I haven’t moved.Not in over an hour.My arm is numb, and my shirt is sticking to the gash on my shoulder, but I don’t care.Because Seraphina Puckett is leaning on me like I’m not the boy who used to make her cry in the school hallways. Like I’m not the one who once called her a ghost behind her back, because she always looked like she was floating through the world, silent and distant.I was such a coward back then. Picking at her because I didn’t know what else to do with the ache she gave me.And now she’s bleeding and shaking and scared, and I’d burn the whole world down to keep her safe.Her fingers twitch against the blanket. Like she’s still fighting something in her sleep.I hate that for her.I hate that
