Stay with us

Jocelyn’s POV“Babe,” I heard Jackson call from somewhere in the suite.“I’m in the bath,” I shouted back.A moment later the bathroom door opened and he stepped inside looking tense, almost scattered.“You wouldn’t mind cutting your bath short?” he asked.I frowned immediately. Supper was only in an hour.“Why?”“Just get dressed. I’ll explain on the way.” His eyes flicked toward me for barely a second before going away. “And put on a gown. Devin’s here.”My whole body went still.After everything that had happened today, I was not sure any of us even knew how to look at each other anymore. Which hurt more than I wanted to admit. Those weeks in the woods had meant something to me. If I had known where things would end up, I never would have kissed him.I climbed out quickly, suddenly hyper aware of everything. Wet hair. Bare face. Bare feet.By the time I rounded the corner into the sitting room, Devin was standing near the fireplace.“Hey,” I said quietly.His jaw tightened slightly

Just made it

Jocelyn’s POVThe moment the helicopter touched down, everything outside it turned into movement and noise.Floodlights cut through the rain. Hospital staff were already waiting on the roof with a stretcher, and as soon as the doors opened, cold air hit us hard.Allison was taken first.“Severe blood loss,” one of the medics called out as they lifted her out. “Blood pressure unstable, possible internal hemorrhage.”Devin was right behind them before anyone could stop him.A nurse stepped into his path. “Sir, you need to stay back—”“I’m not leaving her,” he said, not even looking at her properly, already walking.For a second there was hesitation, like no one wanted to escalate it in the middle of an emergency.Then Allison made a faint sound, barely more than a breath, and that was enough to break him completely. He reached for her hand and kept walking beside the stretcher anyway, refusing to let go even when they pushed through the hospital doors.And then she was gone into surgery

Be there

Jocelyn’s POVI didn’t sleep that night.None of us really did.The hospital had that strange kind of silence after midnight where everything felt suspended, like the world outside didn’t exist anymore. The kind of silence that makes every sound matter too much, the distant footsteps in the hallway, the soft beeping from monitors behind closed doors, the occasional announcement over the intercom.Jackson left briefly to take calls from the estate, then came back looking even more drained than before.Mary stayed in a chair outside Allison’s room, curled up with a blanket a nurse had given her but not really using it. She kept wiping her face like she didn’t want anyone to notice she was still crying.I sat beside her for a while, but eventually I couldn’t stay still anymore.I went to the window at the end of the hallway instead.Outside, the storm had eased, but the sky was still heavy with clouds, the city lights reflecting off wet concrete far below. It felt unreal that normal life

Bye ladies

Devin’s POVI stayed by her hospital room for three straight days and barely left her side.Which, honestly, made me feel like the world’s biggest simp.I barely knew this woman.One night in the woods and suddenly I was sleeping in uncomfortable hospital chairs, surviving off vending machine coffee, and timing my bathroom breaks around nurse check-ins.It was ridiculous.But something in me needed her to wake up and know she had not been abandoned.That I had not just left her there after everything that happened.People came and went constantly.Even Jackson and my mother stopped by once together.But the person I hated seeing most was Mary.Goodness, I hated when Mary showed up.She always walked into the room like she owned the place, immediately scanning for me like I was an infection she needed to clear out.Yesterday she came in, tapped me once on the shoulder, and pointed toward the door.“Out.”I stared at her. “Excuse me?”“You knew her for two hours,” she said bluntly. “Sto

No one has access to

Devins POVAs I started walking away, I heard Mary’s voice behind me, sharp enough to cut through the hallway.“Were you seriously flirting with him after what he did to you?”Alison let out an actual laugh, like the question amused her more than offended her.“Mary, if he did to you what we did, you would be flirting with him too.”Mary scoffed loudly. “What? Send me to a hospital?”“I had a cyst,” Alison replied, her tone calmer now. “Why are you acting like he stabbed me? That could have happened any other way. Honestly, it kind of explains a lot.”“Don’t change the subject,” Mary snapped.“You know,” Alison continued casually, “most people would offer someone in my position a glass of water before interrogating them.”“Yes, but most people in your position would not be flirting with the man involved.”Alison laughed again, softer this time. “He seems like the type that needs a challenge. Maybe I do too.”“You have always been trouble,” Mary said immediately. “And you always will b

Go through with it

The following weeks went by fast. Ally stayed in the hospital for two more days after she woke up. Mary insisted she stay with her afterward too, doting over her for what felt like forever. We never really crossed paths after that. I suspected it was because she was trying to avoid staff gossip. Our family had forbidden anyone from talking about the situation in front of the Jackson staff, but there was no way people were not whispering about it anyway. Especially the students. The women around campus definitely treated me differently afterward. Some looked at me like I was some kind of axe murderer. Others acted like I was some sort of sex god. And I was a little obsessed with seeing Alison again. Just to make sure she was okay. I could not imagine becoming the center of gossip like that. If people were talking this much around me, what the hell was she dealing with? I was finding fewer and fewer reasons to keep visiting my brother by the day. Until one afternoon, I spotted her.

Not even a inch

Devins POVI stood there staring at the envelope longer than I probably should have. All it had was a room number and a blindfold.That was it there was no instructions or explanation.Around me, the club continued moving like nothing unusual had happened. Soft jazz drifted through the room while people laughed quietly over drinks. Somewhere below, dancers moved slowly beneath golden lighting, pearls and beads catching against bare skin every time they turned. Rhinestones gleaming and catching the light.Nobody looked rushed or uncertain here.Meanwhile I felt like I had accidentally wandered into the world’s most expensive psychological experiment.I looked back toward the staircase then down at the blindfold again.There was no sign of Alison, what would she be doing here?I rubbed a hand over my jaw before finally heading upstairs.The hallway above was quieter. Softer somehow. Low lighting stretched across dark walls while numbered doors lined the corridor.Some opened briefly wit
