THE THINGS WE DO FOR POWER{Playlist Suggestions: "Jealousy, Jealousy" by Olivia Rodrigo}~VALERIE POV~I sat on the polished wooden floor of the gym, the faint squeak of sneakers and pop music bouncing off the walls, but none of it really reached me. My body was here—ponytail perfect, uniform spotless—but my mind was somewhere else entirely. Somewhere buried in the thousands of glowing screens replaying the same damn video over and over again.Kade Kingston. My Kade.Beating the living hell out of Hartland in the middle of 'Venom'.I had seen the video so many times I could probably describe every punch, every wild flash of anger in his eyes. The comments were what got me. The hashtags: '#ProtectiveBoyfriendGoals.#' '#CrawfordGoldenCouple.' The way people online twisted a moment of violence into some sort of fairytale for a girl who didn't deserve the fantasy.Chelsea.I bit down on my thumbnail until I tasted blood. Chelsea fucking Lynch.That leech. That nobody.She had been a suit

LATE DRIVE{Playlist suggestion: "Tunnel vision" by Limi}~DENVER POV~By the time practice ended, my legs felt like overcooked noodles and Coach had screamed himself hoarse. You'd think after five years, the man would realize yelling doesn't make Kade Kingston listen. The guy's as stubborn as they come.....always has been.They said he got five days' suspension for the fight with Hartland at Venom, but that was just the surface. What really got him benched was his leg. That old injury he swore was "nothing serious" was turning into something worse. But Kade being Kade, would rather limp through drills than admit pain. Coach had warned him a dozen times....."Push that knee again, Kingston, and you'll be done before scouts even blink." But warnings bounce off Kade like rain on steel.And now? I was left running laps, playing peacemaker, and praying I didn't have to scrape him off the ground one day.By the time I dragged myself off the field, I could barely feel my thighs. My shirt wa

THE MIRAGE~Chelsea POV~{Playlist suggestions: "Let It Go" by James Bay}The morning started with rejection number four. I stood outside a coffee shop called Bean There, staring at the handwritten sign taped to the door: "Position Filled." The letters were crooked, like whoever wrote them had been in a hurry to crush someone's hopes before lunch rush started. My shoulders sagged under the weight of my backpack, stuffed with resumes that were beginning to feel more like confessions of failure than qualifications.Zoe appeared at my elbow, two paper cups of something that smelled like burnt dreams in her hands. She shoved one at me without ceremony. "Drink. You look like you're about to pass out."I took it because refusing would require energy I didn't have. The coffee was bitter, cheap, exactly what we could afford. "That's four places today.""It's barely noon." Zoe sipped her own coffee, somehow making even that look rebellious. Her purple-tinted hair caught the sunlight, a splash

THE MIRAGE TWO{PLAYLIST SUGGESTION: "RUN TO YOU" by Lea Michele }~CHELSEA POV~He shrugged, the gesture lazy and presumptuous. "I'm offering you an opportunity. One that pays significantly better than serving drinks. And frankly, given your connection to Venom, I'm taking a risk hiring you at all. Whoever you people crossed, they buried that club deep. Accepting ex-Venom staff could bring trouble to my door."The anger came hot and sudden, burning through the fear. I stood abruptly, chair scraping against the floor. "Thank you for your time, but we'll pass.""Chelsea," Zoe hissed."No." I looked at the manager, at his smug expression and expensive suit, and the casual way he'd just suggested we sell our dignity. "I'm desperate for money, Mr. Castellano. Desperate enough to work three jobs and sleep four hours a night. But I'm not desperate enough to strip for rich men who think women are decorations they can buy by the hour."For a moment, he just stared. Then he laughed, the sound

EXPOSURE{Playlist Suggestion: "Skin" by Rihanna}~CHELSEA POV~The bus ride to my apartment felt longer than it should have. Zoe sat beside me, her leg bouncing with impatient energy, waiting for words I didn't know how to shape. Every time I opened my mouth, my throat closed up. Every time I thought I could speak, the memory of his hand on my shoulder came flooding back, and I had to focus on breathing instead."You're killing me here, Chels," Zoe finally said as we climbed off at our stop. "That guy in the club. You know him. You had a full-body panic attack because of him. So either you tell me what's going on, or I'm gonna start making up increasingly dramatic scenarios, and trust me, my imagination is dark."I pulled my jacket tighter around myself, even though the afternoon was mild. The neighborhood looked the same as always....cracked sidewalks, chain-link fences, a dog barking behind someone's gate. The normal bleakness of a place that had never given me anything but

OBLIVIOUS{Playlist: "Falling" by Trevor Daniel} ~KADE POV~The laces on my cleats were double-knotted, but I tugged at them again anyway. Anything to keep my hands busy while my mind wandered somewhere it shouldn't be during practice. Coach Marshall had lifted my suspension this morning with a lecture that could've peeled paint off walls, but I barely heard half of it. Something about responsibility and reputation and not making him regret giving me another chance.I'd gathered my things from Knox's guest room before the sun came up, desperate to escape another morning of my older brother's disappointed silence. Knox meant well, but his house felt like a museum dedicated to everything I was supposed to become and hadn't yet. The perfect wife. The perfect kids. The perfect corporate existence that made our father proud.I would rather live in my cramped single dorm room and eat ramen for a week than spend another night pretending I wanted that life.But even back in my own space,

UNWELCOME{Playlist: "Worst behavior" by Kehlani and kwn}I knew I shouldn't be here.The thought ran through my head on repeat as I pulled up to Chelsea's apartment building, my car looking wildly out of place among the rusted sedans and broken-down trucks lining the street. This wasn't my neighborhood. This wasn't my world. The buildings here sagged under their own weight, paint peeling like old skin, chain-link fences separating small patches of dead grass that someone had long since stopped trying to save.But she hadn't answered my texts in two days. Two days of radio silence that felt intentional, calculated, wrong. Every instinct I had was screaming that something was off, that I needed to see her, that waiting for her to come to me wasn't an option anymore.So here I was, standing outside her apartment door like some lovesick idiot, hand raised to knock, feeling more nervous than I'd felt before any game in my life.I actually laughed at myself. Kade Kingston, nervous about a
