“And it looks like you’re doing that, so…” “You leaving is what hurt me!” I seethe, anger sinking its claws deeper into me at his pathetic justification for his actions. “And I’m not damaged, Callum, I’m broken! You broke me!” My voice cracks, my chest heaving as I shake my head, fresh tears springing to my eyes. My gaze flutters down to the pavement, my voice dropping to barely a whisper. “You broke me in ways that I didn’t even know were possible.” Callum’s throat clicks with a hard swallow, his shoes scuffing against the ground as he steps closer. “Ness…”

That afternoon, not long after Celeste returned from the Fleming Group, her phone suddenly rang. It was Isabelle's psychiatrist. He explained that Isabelle had experienced a brief moment of clarity, but soon after fell into a breakdown unlike anything he'd had in years. Celeste's expression changed instantly.

You’ll come to me first when you break. And the worst part? He was right.

Her friend told her with hurt filling her voice. Sam wanted to apologize, but Tabby hung up on her before she had the chance. She let out a scream of frustration as she kicked and punched the bed.

She thought as she buried her face in the pillow and began to sob all over again. The next day her body demanded desperately food, but she didn’t have the strength to get up from the bed.

The roses were already wilting, petals bruised from the day’s cruelty. “I didn’t choose this,” I whispered. A humorless laugh escaped him, sharp and bitter. “Neither did I.” And in that moment, I realized the truth: We were strangers bound by broken pieces. Two scarred souls forced into a union neither of us believed in. The question wasn’t whether we could survive it.

Because heartbreak would've been easier to understand. This was obsession breaking apart in real time.

The words shattered something inside Fabian completely. Because deep down— he feared that was true. And for the first time in his life, Fabian realized love alone might not be enough to undo years of damage.
