ROSE'S POVThe glow from my phone screen was the only thing illuminating my room.The contact was saved under a simple, innocuous name, but the messages underneath were anything but. I’d spent weeks stitching the narrative together, the secret meetups, the late-night texts, the way Leon’s eyes glazed over whenever Aaron Walsh was mentioned.I knew exactly what Aaron was. I knew exactly what he was doing and I could no longer keep it a secret. Not when keeping it a secret was standing in the way of what I wanted.I pulled back the edge of my curtain, the moonlight catching the dark silhouette of the truck parked at the curb. It was unmistakable.I’d spent all afternoon orchestrating the circumstances, a series of subtle, breadcrumb-like clues that led Leon’s father to believe he was “checking the perimeter” of the property tonight.I watched, holding my breath, as the front door creaked open. He stepped out, his posture stiff, his flashlight beam cutting a harsh, white swathe through t

LEON'S POV“Get up,” he ordered, his voice flat, devoid of emotion.I scrambled into a sitting position, pulling the duvet over my lap as my heart began to pound. “Dad? Is everything okay?”He stepped into the room, his eyes scanning the space with the precision that sent chills down my spine.Had Rose said something?He walked over to my desk, his fingers hovering over my laptop, then he turned to face me.“What fragrance was that?”“What?” I croaked.“The one that kept polluting the dining area while we ate.”“Sir…I…it was a gift from a friend. She…was grateful because I defended her from her bullies at school. Her name is May and she…” I paused, licking my lips as I realized that I was over explaining.“I’ve been watching you, Leon,” dad said, turning to face me. “You’ve been acting very vain lately. The constant grooming, preening and constantly inspecting yourself in front of any reflective surface,” he shook his head disappointedly.“The way you keep wasting more time than nece

AARON'S POVThe cool air of my room did little to soothe the heat and restless energy prickling under my skin. I was at the end of my rope.Every time I thought I had Leon exactly where I wanted, pinned by his own desire for me, I found myself confused again by his actions.Why the hell would he ask me to leave the table?? I couldn't seem to get past that. And the fact that he hadn't once tried to reach out to apologize or make amends?Had I been overestimating this…thing between us.I was a man who didn't deal in “feelings,” especially not for dudes, yet here I was, my entire nervous system hijacked by the image of a boy who was currently ignoring my whole existence.“Fuck it.”I needed to purge this. I needed to remind myself that I was the one in control, the one pulling the strings, and the one who didn't get ignored. This was still my life, and Leon was an inconvenient addition to it.I reached for my phone, the screen glowing harsh and unforgiving in the dark.Then I scrolled t

LEON'S POVAnd just like that, another week rolled by.The week had been a slow, suffocating crawl. Seven days of avoiding Aaron’s shadow, seven days of pretending the ache in my chest was just exam stress.The thing with Rose had been a mistake, and we'd both tried not to talk about it since then, at least I had tried. Rose just seemed unbothered about it and kept acting like that never happened at all.Today was the last day of the term, and the halls of the school hummed with a frantic, incoming holiday energy that only made me feel more isolated.Earlier, I’d seen Aaron roaming the corridors with Amanda attached to his side like a permanent fixture, their public displays of affection as aggressive as ever.But then I'd also noticed something else had shifted, too…Damian and Aaron were no longer the inseparable duo the whole school had always admired and kind of feared.I’d also been doing my best to steer clear of Damian as well. Since that day I saw Aaron and Amanda kissing at th

Leon PoVThe second punch didnt come. Even though I'd braced for it, my arms coming up too late, my back scraping hard against the brick, when a body slammed into the guy in front of me so violently I heard the air leave his lungs in a single ugly grunt.For a second I just stood there, blinking, my stomach still screaming from the first hit, trying to make sense of what I was looking at.Aaron had the guy by the collar, shoving him into the opposite wall with a force that rattled a stack of crates by the dumpster."Touch him again," Aaron said, and his voice didn't sound like his voice. It was low and flat and terrifying in a way I'd never heard from him. "I dare you."The second dude ,. the one who'd grabbed my collar took a step back, with his hanfs raised. "Whoa, man, we didn't know you'd—""Didn't know what?" Aaron cut in, rounding on him. "That jumping someone three-on-one behind a repair shop makes you a coward? Yeah, I figured you didn't know that. Get out of here before I fo
