Chapter 14

“Ethan’s been blowing up my phone like fucking crazy. He keeps saying it’s not fair.” Mike’s voice cut through the low rumble of the old projector, Noah and Rachel both looked over at him with annoyance. "You're talking over the movie Mike," Rachel said. They sat crammed into M...

Rachel's day didn't fare much better after meeting with her mother. Classes dragged, homework never seemed to end, and Rachel's mind endlessly played the words her mother had said. Noah wasn't for her. She came from a different life. It wouldn't last. Eternity wrapped into a si...

Rachel stepped out of the bedroom in her softest pair of athletic shorts and a cropped tank. She tugged at the hem, giving the illusion of adjusting something that didn’t need fixing. She could feel Noah's eyes gravitate towards her as she walked into the living room. At least th...

Chapter 23

The lock clicked shut, sealing them both inside the tiny bathroom. Rachel did her best to avoid touching the walls as Ethan turned to her. She stared at him coldly as he leaned casually against the door. "Finally alone at last," he said smoothly. Rachel’s skin bristled at the c...

Chapter 27

Two weeks had passed, and Rachel made every effort to keep her life as quiet as possible. She silenced text notifications, left Ethan’s messages on read, declined Mike’s impromptu visits, and pretended everything was normal. She even tried to pretend she was normal. Knowing, deep...

Chapter 28
