All Chapters of Dark Secrets Between Roommates: Chapter 121 - Chapter 130

Aiden The rest of the ride stayed tense with me shifting in my seat, feeling sticky and aware of every look from the driver. “Why is he staring like that?” I thought. When we finally dropped off, I could not help thinking that cab guy stared at me a bit unusually. “Like he knew something or maybe just got a show he did not expect. Weird!”Ethan paid and pulled me straight toward this club on the corner. The music already thumping loud from inside, and the lights flashing! It looked good, but my stomach twisted. “Wait, Ethan!” I said. “I am kind of scared of places like this.” I didn’t want to tell him about the mysterious guy, not after what happened before. I still don't want to remember half of it! “Can we go somewhere else?”He just grinned and said, “Nah, you will be fine with me here! Come on! One night will not kill you. I got you! Promise!” He tugged my arm, and we went in the door. The bass hit my chest hard! “Wow! So loud!” Bodies were moving everywhere.Ethan led us to th

Chris The cab drove even faster, running yellow lights that turned red a second later. I followed anyway, my heart pounding with every turn. My phone kept buzzing on the passenger seat, but I ignored it without even looking. Nothing mattered except getting Aiden back.After several minutes, the cab turned onto a quiet road with almost no traffic. It finally pulled into an empty parking lot behind a row of dark stores and slammed on the brakes.I stopped right behind it before the tires had even settled. I threw my door open, jumped out, and ran straight toward the cab with my fists already raised, ready for whatever was waiting for me.The driver got out this big guy who left Aiden still blacked out in the back seat. “Back off kid this does not involve you,” he said in a rough voice trying to sound tough.“It involves me because that is my friend in there and you better tell me what you did to him right now,” I snapped back stepping closer with my voice getting louder. He laughed at

Aiden He sighed and pressed harder on the cut. Fresh blood showed up and he hissed through his teeth. “I went looking because I felt bad about how things ended in the dorm. I drove to the club and pushed through the crowd calling your name. The guy had you over his shoulder heading for the back exit. I ran after him. Outside he put you in the cab and took off. I followed close behind. When they stopped I jumped out and confronted him. He was rough and kept saying you were his tonight. I did not let him keep you. That is the truth Aiden. I am not lying to you!”The more he talked the more I saw how bad he was hurt. His knuckles were split and one side of his face was starting to swell. I felt this pull in my chest and I moved closer even though I was still scared. I took the gauze from his hand. “Here. Let me do that. You are messing it up and making it bleed more. Sit back and hold still.”Chris leaned back on the couch and let me clean the cut. He watched my face the whole time. “Th

Chapter 126 Aiden “Yeah. Just me and my mess. Can you guys give me some space?”They looked at him for a few seconds, like they were trying to decide if they should believe me. He kept calm and hoped they would leave before they noticed anything strange. My heart was beating so hard I thought it might pop out. After what felt like forever, they finally stepped back.“Alright, but come up if you need anything. And clean this place up.”The door closed behind them. I stood still for a moment, then slowly let out the breath I had been holding. I waited a few more seconds just to make sure they were really gone.Then I quickly hurried back to Chris.He was still breathing hard. His face looked pale, and he was holding his side like he was trying to deal with the pain.“That was too close,” I whispered. “Are you okay?”He gave a small nod without opening his eyes.“It hurts even more now,” he said quietly. “But you hid really well. Thanks, Aiden.”I sat beside him again and gently pre

Chapter 129 Chris I should have shut up. Instead I pushed.“You heard me. You’ve been circling that idea since the night you woke up here. So say it. Accuse me properly.”“I didn’t say that.”“You didn’t have to. It’s all over your face every time you look at those damn ropes.”He tried to pull free and I held on. The movement made my wound scream and fresh blood soaked through the bandage. Aiden’s eyes dropped to my side and the fight in him shifted into panic.“You’re bleeding again. Let go. Chris, let go right now.”“Not until you stop treating me like the enemy.”He shoved at my chest with both hands. I staggered and the pain white-hot across my ribs made my knees buckle. We went down together in a messy tangle on the couch. Aiden ended up half on top of me trying to pin my shoulders so I would stop moving. His weight pressed right on the cut and I hissed through my teeth.“Stay still,” he said, voice breaking. “You’re making it worse. Just stay still damn it.”I could feel his
