Chapter 81

GABRIEL I didn’t plan for this. I swear I didn’t. I boarded the bus early because that’s what you do when you’re trying to disappear without anyone noticing. I had my hoodie up, headphones in but not playing anything, forehead pressed to the cold window like maybe I could sink into the glass and come out somewhere quieter, somewhere without her name stitched into every thought I had. The bus smelled like cheap cologne, vinyl seats baked by the sun, and that faint sweet stink of energy drinks cracked open too early in the morning. Someone threw a backpack. Someone else yelled about snacks. I closed my eyes and told myself I could survive a few hours of pretending she didn’t exist. Then the seat dipped beside me and the whole world tilted. I opened my eyes and there she was, Monica, sitting next to me like it was the most normal thing in the universe, like my chest hadn’t just caved in on itself, like my pulse hadn’t gone feral. For a second I actually thought I was hallu

Chapter 82

ZOEY“What if we hooked up?”The words slipped out before I could pull them back, light and reckless and dressed in humor, but the second they landed in the air, Gabriel’s head snapped toward me like I’d just set something on fire. He blinked once then twice. Then he laughed in a low disbelieving way. “What?”I laughed too, because if I didn’t, it would look like I meant it. “Relax,” I said, lifting my bottle. “We can blame it on the alcohol. No one has to know.”He stared at me for a moment longer, the corner of his mouth twitching like he didn’t know whether to take me seriously or not. “Sure,” he said slowly, “but wouldn’t that just prove I have some kind of obsession with girls my cousin’s been with?”That hit me right in the chest, sharp and annoying and unfair. Really unfair. “Damian and I never…” I trailed off, rolling my eyes. “We didn’t do that.”His eyebrows shot up. “No way.”“Yes way.”He sat up straighter, genuinely surprised now, his bottle paused halfway to his lips. “

ZOEYI nodded.His fingers closed around mine, not flirty, not possessive, just there. And for a second I hated how much I needed that.“You’re going to be okay,” he said quietly.I scoffed. “That’s a lie.”“Maybe,” he admitted. “But it’s a nice one.”I looked at him then, really looked at him, and my gaze slipped down without permission, tracing the shape of his mouth, the slight part of his lips, the line of his throat, the movement of his Adam’s apple when he swallowed again.He was too close. Too dangerously close.I stared at him for a long time before I said it, because once it left my mouth there was no taking it back, no pretending I didn’t mean it, no hiding behind jokes or sarcasm or that sharp-girl armor everyone thought was my personality.“Could you ever see me,” I asked quietly, “the way you see Monica?”He didn’t answer. Not right away. He just looked at me, really looked at me, like he was searching for the right thing to say and not finding it, and for a second that s

ZOEYI stood slowly. I pulled it off, all the way down, slowing down intentionally just to tease him a bit. My bra came off next. Then I slipped my thong down too, stepping out of them.I stood in front of him. Fully bare and yet unashamed. His mouth parted slightly before he leaned back on the bed frame, legs spread, hands resting on his thighs.“Come here.” I climbed onto the bed, moving to kneel between his legs. I reached for his belt, pulling it open slowly without breaking off eye contact. He watched me without blinking as his pants came down. So did his boxers. He was already hard. I looked up at him once. “You're already hard. Want me that bad?” I asked in a teasing tone.“Don’t ask,” he said through gritted teeth as he barely contained his chuckle, “Just use your mouth.”I leaned in. My lips wrapped around the tip of his hard cock. His hand moved to grab my hair immediately. He groaned loud as I pushed down further, feeling him hit the back of my throat.“Fuck” he hissed. “

Chapter 85

JULIANIf you looked at me from the outside you’d think I was having the time of my life, red cup in hand, music loud enough to make your ribs shake. The entire class practically ditched the secret party for this one Landon found. It was some cool college kids party and they actually let us party with them. Monica pressed against my side like we were a united front against the world, laughing at nothing and everything, but inside my head it was still just Dominic Dominic Dominic on a loop like a song I couldn’t skip no matter how many times I smashed the button.Monica leaned closer to shout something about the DJ being terrible and I laughed too loud on purpose, because laughing was easier than admitting I was counting exits and checking my phone every five minutes like a loser waiting for a sign.“You good?” she asked, eyes serious even through the party haze. “Never better,” I said, clinking my cup against hers. “I live for bad music and suspicious college kids drinks.”She smiled

Chapter 86

MONICAWhen Julian left me at the party it felt like the music got louder out of spite, like the speakers were personally offended he’d chosen feelings over fun. I stood there for a second holding two red cups like an idiot before handing one to a random girl who looked equally lost and turning back toward the crowd with a smile that did not match my chest at all.I watched him disappear, that quick determined walk he does when he’s decided something. His shoulders tense, jaw set tight, heart probably sprinting ahead of him, and I hoped—really hoped—this was finally the moment everything stopped hurting for him, because he deserved that more than anyone I knew.I turned too fast and ran straight into someone solid. “Whoa,” a guy said, hands lifting like he was innocent already. “My bad.”“Yeah,” I replied automatically, stepping back, scanning him in one glance, college-aged, messy hair, drunk confidence, eyes that lingered too long on my chest which now had my drink splashed all ove

Chapter 87

MONICAI woke up slow, like my body didn’t trust the morning yet, like it needed to test the light first before deciding whether to fully exist, and the first thing I noticed was warmth that wasn’t mine.An arm heavy across my waist, a solid chest rising and falling behind me, the faint smell of soap and something familiar that made my brain stutter before it caught up.Damian.The memory hit in pieces instead of a clean line, flashes of laughter and hallway lights, his room number. The way the night had ended with him begging me to stay. The kiss. How he slept off mid make out session and it ended with me curled against him like it made sense, like my body had chosen before my head got a vote.I stayed frozen for a second, eyes open, staring at the blank hotel wall while my heart did that nervous flutter thing, not panic exactly, just awareness, because this was new territory and my brain didn’t have a script ready for it.Damian shifted behind me, his arm tightening a little like it

Chapter 88

MONICAThe whistle blew sharp and loud and suddenly everything exploded into motion, bodies colliding, sneakers screeching against polished floor, voices overlapping into one messy roar that bounced off the walls and lodged itself somewhere behind my ribs, and I barely had time to breathe before the game swallowed all of our attention whole.It was chaos from the first second.Damian moved like he was born for this, fast and confident and reckless in that way that made your heart skip and your stomach twist, weaving through defenders like they were just suggestions, shouting commands that his teammates followed without question, and every time he looked toward the stands it felt like his eyes were looking for me, reminding himself what he was playing for. And I worried that was more distracting than romantic.Julian yelled so loud beside me I was pretty sure he’d lose his voice before halftime. Landon jumped up and down like a caffeinated toddler. Olivia and Ava shrieked every time th

Chapter 89

MONICABy evening they herded us into the big banquet hall of the hotel, the one with the ugly patterned carpet and chandeliers that tried too hard to look fancy.Round tables were already set up with white cloths that were going to be stained within minutes, and a long banner stretched across the front that read CONGRATULATIONS HAVENSTONE ACADEMY like someone had made it in five minutes on a printer that hated them.I slipped inside with Julian glued to my side, Landon already halfway across the room shouting at people he hadn’t even greeted yet, Olivia and Ava trailing behind us arguing about whether the cake was going to be dry, and the whole place smelled like food and perfume and sweat and excitement all mashed together.“Okay but tell me why this feels like prom but worse,” Julian muttered, grabbing two drinks from a tray as we passed.“Because nobody’s wearing matching outfits and everyone’s already exhausted,” I said, taking one. He snorted. “Valid.”The team entered a few min

Chapter 90

GABRIELI was not okay, like not even a little, and the worst part was I couldn’t even point to one single thing and say that’s it, that’s the reason, because it was everything stacked on top of everything else until my head felt like it was buzzing nonstop, the celebration noise pressing in on me from all sides while I stood there holding a plastic cup I hadn’t touched in ten whole minutes pretending I was actually present in this moment.Zoey.That was the first name my brain latched onto and immediately tried to throw away at the same time, because every time I thought about her my chest did this weird tightening thing that wasn’t attraction exactly and wasn’t guilt either but something messier and harder to explain, flashes of her moans in my hotel room, the way she’d looked at me when she asked questions she already knew the answers to, the way alcohol had made everything intimate and reckless all at once.And then there was that hug.What the hell was that hug.I stared at the f
