Noah's POV It was quiet after I spoke. I was standing in front of the canvas with a pencil in my hand not moving. In the end Gabriel finally spoke up. "You are not really going to do all those things are you?” I smiled a little. "Why not?” "Because it is crazy. You have never been serious about painting, racing or boxing.” I looked at the line I drew. It was not good yet.. It was a start. "I can learn.” Gabriel did not think that was an idea. "This is not about if you can or not. It is about why you're doing all this.” I did not say anything for a moment. I thought about Rachel and how she looked at me that night. It was cold and challenging like I was not good enough. "To prove something.” Gabriel asked, "To who?” "To Rachel.” “If she still does not car

Noah's POVThe engine was really loud on the training track. I pushed the gas pedal down more. Felt the strong vibration of the engine all the way to my fingertips. The wind hit my helmet visor as the car went through a curve.The track was not very big. It was tough enough. The asphalt was a bit rough with sharp turns that made the driver stay focused.My hands held the steering wheel tightly. Focus.I slowed down a bit before the turn then turned the wheel fast. The tires screeched loudly. My body was pushed to the side by centrifugal force but I kept the car steady. However as I exited the turn something happened.The car in front of me suddenly slowed down. I slammed on the brakes. The tires screeched louder this time. My car almost hit the back of it a few centimeters apart. My heart was pounding hard.My reflexes kicked in away as I jerked the wheel to the left avoiding the collision just in time. My car

Noah's POV I took a breath and leaned against the car for a moment but my mind had already moved far beyond just this track. Because this was one of three things I had to do painting, racing and one last thing that was just as difficult.Boxing. My hands clenched unconsciously as I thought about it knowing that the last part wouldn’t be easy to get through.Maybe it would be the hardest of them all. I had no choice except to keep moving forward. If this was what I had to do to prove something then I would finish it no matter how far I had to go.Sweat dripped from my chin onto the ring floor. My breathing felt heavy as if something was pressing against my chest from the inside.I raised my gloves in front of my face. I tried to stay focused. My opponent stood a step away ready to strike.The coach stood at the side of the ring watching every movement closely, his sharp eyes missing nothing. "Don’t drop your g

Sienna’s POVThat night it was getting late when I heard the front door open.I was sitting in the living room. I turned around right away. The house was so quiet that even the smallest sound seemed loud.The clock on the wall said it was eleven at night. The light from the chandelier made the room feel warm. Also a little lonely.The television was still on in front of me. I was not paying attention to it.My mind was else.Over the few weeks something had changed. I do not know what it was. It made me feel uneasy every night.I heard footsteps coming from the entrance. They were heavy and slow like someone was really tired.I stood up when Noah finally came inside."Noah, are you just getting home again?"Noah only nodded a bit without really looking at me. He seemed exhausted.Under the living room lights I could see his face clearly

Sienna’s POVLiam picked up his tablet.“Boys his age are like that, they try things. Figure out what they like."His words sounded really light like this was a normal thing that would pass on its own. I looked at him for a second hoping to see some concern on his face.There was none. Liam still looked calm too calm for something like this.I started to say something. He stopped me.“Sienna."He looked at me gently. I could see he was firm about this. His tone was not loud, not forceful. It was enough to make me stop.“Stop worrying!" he said.I did not say anything.“You are overthinking it.”Those words should have made me feel better like this was not something to worry about.They did not. My chest felt tight like something was pressing against me.I wanted to argue I wanted to say this was not just

Sienna’s POVThat afternoon the house was really quiet. I was sitting in the living room with a cup of tea in my hand.The tea had been sitting there for a while. The steam was gone. The surface of the tea was still which made the room feel quieter. Sunlight was coming through the windows shining on the marble floor and the garden outside.It looked like a day.. It felt too quiet.The quiet was nice. It was also a little scary. There were no footsteps, no doors opening or closing, just the sound of the clock ticking on the wall. It was a reminder that time was still moving.Liam was at his office like he always is at this time. He is always busy, always working.Noah should be at school. At least that is what I thought.I took a breath trying to enjoy the quiet. I had a weird feeling that I had been having for days.Then the phone rang. The sound was loud. It made me jump a little.

Sienna’s POV“Okay” I said at last trying to calm my shaking voice “I will go to the campus today and talk about this in person.”“Sure, ma'am. Please go to the campus office.”The phone call stopped. For a bit, I stayed in the same place, looking forward without truly seeing nothing.The low sound still rang softly in my ears, like it did not want to go away. The home felt super silent.My hand placed the phone back where it goes. The simple move felt hard, like my body needed more work just to do things.Then my legs got weak. I almost fell to the ground, if I didn’t catch the side of the table next to me in time.My hands gripped it, like it was the only thing holding me up. “That’s not possible,” I said softly, moving my head side to side.How can it be? Noah went from the house each day. I seen him with my own eyes!I heard his steps each morning. I saw the door o

Sienna’s POVI was standing in front of the house before Liam's car even showed up at the end of the street. I had been waiting for what felt like. After I got off the phone I just could not sit still.I walked back and forth in the living room going from one corner to the other. My mind was stuck on the thing. I could not stop thinking about it.Every time I tried to stop walking my thoughts just got louder. I saw things I did not want to see. It made my chest feel tight.So I went outside to the front yard hoping the fresh air would make me feel better. Even outside I still felt uneasy.The house, which usually felt cozy now felt like it was closing in on me. The place that was supposed to be the safest now felt too small.I stood by the gate looking at the road. The wind was blowing. It did not calm me down.Every minute felt like it was taking forever. It was like time was moving sl

Sienna's POV The ride to the school seemed a lot longer than normal.I sat in the side seat with my hands pressed down in my lap. My mind kept on racing all the way. Every bad thought came up one after another, making the tight feeling in my chest get even worse.Liam drove easy next to me. He didn’t talk much, maybe knowing that I was trying to calm myself down.But the calm never came.I let out a breath, trying to calm my fast breathing. The street ahead was full of cars going like always but everything seemed too slow for me.I looked at Liam. “Do you not think something has been wrong all this time?” I asked softly.He didn’t reply fast. His eyes stayed on the path, but his jaw got a bit tighter - a sign that he had thought the same thing."I saw he had changed," he said at last. "But I thought it was just the phase."͏“A time doesn’t make a person go away from s

Sienna's POV She got up and took us into a tiny room next to the counter. A little while later, another office worker came in, holding a tablet and some papers."Thanks for coming, Mrs Sienna," she said kindly.I sat in a chair near her, while ͏Liam sat next to me.“Could you explain again about Noah?” I asked.She nodded and turned on a tablet screen in front of us.“This be Noah’s attend record for a semester”She rotated the screen toward us.My eyes quickly stuck on the big table showing his classes.Most of the roll call papers were blank. There was no sign in, no notes for absence, nothing. My hands felt chilly all at once."Since when?" I asked, my voice was hardly heard."By our system, Noah was in class five weeks ago." The staff member said.Five weeks is more than a month.I looked at the screen wishing I had re
