The Space Between Us

Barbara’s POVIt didn’t happen all at once and that was the worst part.If Lily had shouted at me again or slammed the door and even refused to even look at me, maybe it would have been easier to understand and easier to fight and fix this but she didn’t.Instead, she faded slowly and quietly like something slipping through your fingers before you even realize you’re losing it.At first, it was small things like the replies and teasing like she normally did but suddenly, no random conversations before bed, then it became silence. Complete silence.It was just enough to make everything feel off. It was uncomfortable like we were sharing a room, but not really sharing anything else.“Good morning,” I said one day, trying to sound normal.“Morning,” she replied, not looking up from her phone and that was it and no follow up. She didn’t bother to ask how did you sleep or we’re going to be late like she usually said and what saddened me was that it stayed like that for days, almost a week

The Wrong Place At The Wrong Time

Tristan’s povI wasn’t even thinking and that was exactly the problem.Usually, there is a reason and plan or basically something calculated behind whatever I do but that morning was different.I just walked with no destination in mind at first and for some reason, I felt distant from my brothers, from the dorm and from the quiet that felt louder than it should have.Eventually, my feet did what they always do and led me somewhere familiar.The gym. It made sense, that was the place where there isn’t any action or noise or even something physical to drown out everything else and that was what I needed.Or at least, I what I thought I needed.I shoved my hands into my pockets as I cut across the main path, barely paying attention to the people passing by until I saw them…And just like that, everything else faded.I saw my brothers, Jeremiah and Geoffrey.Then, I saw Barbara and Lily.Of course they both had to be there and apparently, they were everywhere now.My steps slowed slightl

Conditions To Be Followed

Tristan’s povI didn’t make it five steps and that was all it took.Five steps toward Geoffrey and Barbara before everything went sideways again.“Tristan.” Her voice wasn’t loud because It didn’t need to be.There was something in it that was sharp and controlled that made me stop anyway.I didn’t turn immediately, didn’t want to and didn’t feel like dealing with her again.But then, her hand wrapped around my wrist.It was firm and unapologetic. “Come with me.”I exhaled slowly. “Cheryl..”“Now.” That wasn’t a request and before I could brush her off or pull away, she was already dragging me down the hallway, away from the open path, away from the gym, away from them.I glanced back once. Geoffrey and Barbara were still there talking and unbothered, like none of this existed and like I didn’t exist.That annoyed me more than it should have and then the corner turned, and they were out of sight.Cheryl didn’t stop until we reached a quieter part of the building.It was an empty ha

Out Of The Line

Tristan’s povBy the time Cheryl walked off, I was already done with that conversation.Actually, I was done the moment she started talking about the rumours because I didn’t care about rumours.I cared about what I saw and what I saw earlier, that didn’t sit right with me, not even a little, so I went back to the spot near the gym where I had seen Geoffrey and Barbara talking like they had all the time in the world like there was nothing complicated about it.But when I got there, oddly they were gone.I stopped, glancing around like they might magically reappear if I looked hard enough but nothing happened.Just a few students passing by, the distant sound of practice still echoing from inside the gym, and empty space where they had been standing minutes ago.I scoffed under my breath. “That is so convenient.”I shoved my hands into my pockets, scanning the area one more time and still nothing. There was no sign of them and definitely no trace.They were just gone and for some reaso

The Lines We Crossed

Barbara’s povThe moment I stepped into the classroom, I knew it wasn’t over and not even close.You can feel it when something’s about to explode, it lingered in the way someone looks at you or doesn’t.In the silence that stretches just a little too long. I didn’t need to turn around to know Lily followed me in, I felt the tension and that quiet anger sitting just behind me like a shadow.I walked straight to my seat, placing my bag down a little harder than necessary. My fingers lingered on the strap for a second, like I needed something to hold onto.“Breathe, you just have to breathe.” I told myself.This didn’t have to turn into anything but then a chair scraped loudly beside me.It was Lily. I left her and the twins back outside because I just didn’t have the time and energy to deal with their arguments.She didn’t sit gently and didn’t ease into it, instead she dropped into her seat like she was trying to make a point.I stared ahead, refusing to look at her first.If she wante

Can’t Take What You Dish

Barbara’s povThe second Lily walked out, I knew I couldn’t just sit there.I didn’t even remember grabbing my bag and didn’t remember standing up but all I knew was that I couldn’t let her leave like that, definitely not after what I said and not after the way she looked at me.“Barbara…” Someone called my name.I ignored it because I was already moving fast and the hallway felt too long, too crowded, too loud but none of it mattered. I pushed past people, barely seeing faces, barely hearing voices.All I could think about was her and the words I couldn’t take back.“Lily!” I yelled, calling her but she ignored me.I spotted her just ahead, walking quickly, her steps sharp and determined.She didn’t slow down and didn’t even hesitate. “Lily, wait! I’m talking to you!” She didn’t respond either and just kept on walking like no one was talking to her. Even when people tried calling her to slow down or even listen to me, she acted like they were spitting gibberish, stared at me for a

Not Yours To Control

Barbara’s povI didn’t go back to the classroom, I couldn’t not after what happened because everyone was staring at me while Lily walked off.I couldn’t go back after everything that was said and everything that couldn’t be taken back, no matter how badly I wanted it to.My feet moved without direction at first, carrying me through hallways that blurred into one another, past faces I didn’t recognize and voices I didn’t hear. It felt like I was walking through noise without actually being part of it.Lily’s words kept replaying in my head. “You deserved it.”I swallowed hard, my throat tightening painfully. No matter how many times I tried to shake it off, it stuck and that one sentence, it stayed and it hurt in a way I didn’t know how to process.I exhaled slowly, dragging a hand down my face. “Okay, think and don’t spiral. Just fix it.”That was the only thing that made sense right now because no matter how bad it got, no matter what she said couldn’t just let things end like that.

Almost Broken But Not Gone

Barbara’s povThe walk back to the dorm felt longer than usual, not because it actually was but it was because everything in me felt heavier.My steps were slower and oddly, I felt my thoughts were louder like everyone could hear me and the drink in my hand that once cold and fresh had started to lose its coolness. I almost turned back more than twice because I had so many questions in my head. What if she didn’t want it?What if she ignored me again?What if this….whatever we had left was already too far gone?But I kept walking because not trying, that would be worse than trying and failing.The hallway outside our room was too quiet for some reason which made it feel weird to me.I stood in front of the door for a second, my hand wrapped around the handle as my chest tightened.This was it. No more delaying and no more thinking. So I pushed the door open and Lily was inside. She sat at her desk with papers spread out in front of her, notebooks stacked neatly, her pen moving qui

The Space She Left Behind

Barbara’s povThe room felt different the moment Lily departed from the dorm.It was not empty because her things were still there and her bed was still made the way she liked it.Her books were also stacked neatly and her jacket hanging on the chair like she’d just stepped out for a minute.But it was too quiet and I hated it.I stood by the window, arms folded, watching as her father’s car disappeared through the school gates. Lily had waved one last time before getting in, her expression soft but distracted. “I’ll be back in two weeks time, Barbara. Don’t miss me too much!”she had said.“Two weeks, that’s not long. Right?I repeated under my breath now.It didn’t sound long but felt like it would be, especially when I have no one else to talk to in this school.The first day without her was very strange and different because I didn’t realize how much of my routine revolved around her until she wasn’t there.There was no one to complain about classes with, no one to drag me to the

I Am Not Afraid Anymore

Barbara’s povIt was one of those afternoons that felt longer than it should have been.Classes had been dragged and the lectures felt like it was stretched on purpose, like time itself was testing my patience. By the time the final bell rang, my head was already pounding slightly, and all I wanted was to get back to my room, throw my bag somewhere, and just exist in silence and peace.I walked down the hallway with slow, tired steps, adjusting the strap of my bag on my shoulder.For once, things had been calm and there was no weird tension.There was no Tristan and no drama, it was just classes.And honestly?I should have known it wouldn’t last because it never did.I had just turned the corner that led toward the path to the dorms when I saw them, standing there like they had been waiting.It was Cheryl and her little group.My steps slowed instinctively, not because I was scared and not this time but because I knew, this wasn’t going to be simple.“Look who it is,” Cheryl’s voic
