Alex stared at Lucas. He was sitting on the bed with his laptop open. His expression was unreadable as his fingers left the system and rested on the bed. “Honey, we can't remain locked up like this,” Lucas said, walking toward him. Since there was no sign of them, we need to step out and find out if they were waiting or if they've gone.” He added as he stood beside Alex. That got Alex’s attention. He slowly lifted his gaze, eyes narrowing slightly. “You’re right, but somehow, it still worries me.” The silence returned because with someone like the unknown face of Mac, Alex knew that quiet didn’t always mean peace. It meant something was coming, but he couldn't keep him locked up like some criminal in hiding. Lucas lifted his hand, fingers threading slowly through Alex’s hair, grounding him. “Sweet boo… think about it,” he murmured, voice low but steady. “You know I’m right, don’t you?” Before Alex could argue, he snapped the laptop shut and pulled Lucas onto his lap in

Lucas’s phone buzzed once, then again and again. It vibrated restlessly against the bedside table, the screen lighting up the dim room in short, persistent flashes. Alex glanced at it the first time, then ignored it. By the third buzz, curiosity got the better of him.He picked it up. “Nathan?” he muttered under his breath, eyes narrowing slightly as the name flashed across the screen again. “Why does he keep calling like this?” The phone buzzed again in his hand. “He should let the phone breathe for crying out loud,” Alex added, irritation creeping into his tone. At that exact moment, the bathroom door clicked open. Lucas stepped out. Fresh from the shower, water still clung to his skin, trailing down his neck and shoulders. His hair was damp, slightly tousled, and the faint scent of soap followed him into the room.Before he could reach the phone, it stopped ringing. “Hmm?” Lucas picked it up, glancing at the screen. A smile spread instantly. “Oh… It’s Nat.” That i

“I… I know,” Nathan admitted, running a hand through his hair. “But I can’t think straight.” Lucas tried to stand, but his legs betrayed him, wobbling beneath his weight. Nathan quickly caught him, wrapping an arm around his waist to steady him. “Easy… easy,” Nathan whispered, though his own balance wasn’t much better. Lucas swallowed hard. “This isn’t just alcohol,” he said, forcing the words out. “I’ve had more than this before… I didn’t feel this tipsy.” That seemed to cut through Nathan’s haze just enough. His expression shifted, from dazed to uneasy. “You think…?” Nathan started, glancing toward the door, then back at Lucas. Lucas nodded faintly. “I need to call Alex.” This time, Nathan didn’t stop him.Lucas fumbled with his phone again, his fingers clumsy, vision slightly blurred. It took him a few tries before he finally managed to unlock it. Meanwhile, Nathan moved toward the door, peeking out into the hallway. The music from the party still pulsed fa

Jason exhaled slowly, trying to think and to fix something that clearly wasn’t simple. “Where is he now?” he asked.Alex gave a small shrug. “Maybe still in the room. I don’t know.” Jason leaned forward again. “Did you try to talk to him?” Alex’s expression hardened slightly, the vulnerability retreating behind a wall. “There’s nothing to talk about,” he said flatly. But the way his hand tightened around the bottle, the way his eyes flickered for just a second, said otherwise. The corner Alex had claimed for himself was already heavy with tension. Jason’s presence didn't make it any better, but it shifted the moment a familiar voice cut through it. “Hey, Alex, there you are.”Dave approached, slightly out of breath, clearly having searched through the crowd. “I’ve been looking for you… and them. I couldn’t find Nathan or Lucas anywhere. Have you seen…” He stopped mid-sentence.Up close, the state Alex was in became impossible to ignore.His posture, the bottle,

Lucas took a step forward, his voice softer and uncertain. “Alex…” “Don’t Alex me!” The shout exploded out of him. It was sharp, raw, and loud enough to turn a few distant heads. Lucas froze mid-step, the words hitting harder than expected. His eyes widened, confusion flashing across his face. “Don’t even come close to me,” Alex continued, his voice shaking with restrained anger. “Not after what you did.” He let out a bitter scoff. “You had the nerve to betray me, here…at my father’s birthday venue.” His jaw clenched. “You didn’t even try to hide it.” Each word felt heavier than the last. “That’s the worst way to break what we had,” he added, his voice dropping, thick with pain. “And it’s… too painful to bear.” Alex turned, hiding his face. Lucas just stared at him, completely thrown. “I don’t understand,” he said slowly, shaking his head. “What are you talking about?” His voice cracked slightly. “You’re scaring me, Alex. What did I do?” For seconds, silence
