Draven stares. “You’ve got to be kidding me.” Sky is already crying. “It’s not a weapon. It’s a child.” Rowan, ever practical, lifts his fried laptop. “So… does this mean we have Wi-Fi again?” Everyone laughs, brittle and real.

Do you want to stay at my place for the night instead?” [Willow, go for it! He lives alone. His house is huge with an ocean view!] I nodded.

Malaya squealed happily as Buddy the Elf appeared on screen, immediately scooting closer into the blankets. Laila settled beside her, tucking a blanket around Malaya’s shoulders, and Jordan sat across from them, close enough to feel included without crowding the moment.

Storm When Winter arrived, I was relieved to see that she had brought Felix with her. Winter and Felix sat with us and joined in for a brief chat with Kat so that we wouldn’t appear suspicious. It wasn’t long before Winter suddenly announced that we had to be leaving, because we had somewhere that we needed to be. Thankful that Winter had come up with an excuse for us to leave, I got up from the table, glad to be away from Asher, and hugged my friend for the very last time. I held onto her tight, and when I let her go, I saw the curious look she gave me. So that she didn’t ask me questions that I wouldn’t be able to answer, I simply said, “I will call you tomorrow and see where you are at, a

Harry, Quinn's best friend, was embracing my girl from her side and they seemed comfortable to each other. "H-Harry," the sound of my voice was more like a hiss. "I didn't expect you to be here after a long time." "True, it's winter break and we missed Quinn at holidays, especially my adorable girl," he exclaimed, squeezing Khloe towards his body. I nodded, raising my brow. "Well, I can see that."

Only a few machines, powered by their internal batteries, flickered faintly. In the dark, Katie screamed, "Ah! What happened?" "The power's out!" came the nurse's voice. "Ashton! Are you crazy?" Jason's voice was filled with panic and anger. I lay on the ground, gasping for air. The tape over my mouth had loosened from my sweat. I tore it off. Feeling the warm liquid drip from my forehead, I smiled. In the dark, my smile must've looked savage. Crazy? Yes, I was crazy.

By the end of the day, the snow-covered courtyard held not just the echoes of laughter and holiday cheer, but the promise of a new friendship.

It was supposed to be the most joyful time of the year. But I was barely holding it together, desperately trying not to cry over a relationship that had never truly existed. A relationship I destroyed single handedly. This time last year, things had been so different. Elias, Isaac, and I had been hunting for the tallest Christmas tree we could find. Isaac had bounced around in excitement, laughing and tugging at our hands, while I smiled quietly, a soft ache of contentment in my chest. Elias had stood beside us like a silent guardian, his presence as grounding as ever.

I CLOSED MY eyes and breathed in the cold night breeze. The light blow of the wind messed with my long slightly waved hair. I tucked them behind my ears as I opened my eyes to stare at the night sky and watch as it seemingly gets darker and darker. I played with the sand touching my feet, listening to the sound of waves.
