The Silence I Broke
"
Boom—
The thunder hit like it was aimed at me.
Like something inside me just ripped apart.
I wanted to vanish.
To curl up somewhere no one could see me.
But where?
It was all rain.
All thunder.
All his voice, laughing.
Then William called.
"Joelle?"
His voice was so calm, it cut through everything—the thunder, the rain, even the echo of Nathan's voice.
"Are you crying?"
I wanted to say no.
Really tried.
But nothing came out.
And like my silence gave him the answer, the tears just broke loose.
"Stay where you are," he said, steady as ever. "I'm coming to get you."

Nathan was single again.
A bunch of spoiled rich kids threw a "singles party" at the club, drowning in shots and laughs.
