Chapter 29

Lily’s POV

The pain in my ankle was sharp and throbbing as the nurse helped me off the field. I clutched the crutches tightly, trying not to cry in front of everyone. The entire class was watching. Some with pity. Others with amusement. Mia’s satisfied smile from the sidelines burned into my memory.

Of course it was her. The way she had positioned herself near my lane. The perfectly timed trip. She had planned this. Just like she planned everything else.

    Chapter 29Lily’s POVThe pain in my ankle was sharp and throbbing as the nurse helped me off the field. I clutched the crutches tightly, trying not to cry in front of everyone. The entire class was watching. Some with pity. Others with amusement. Mia’s satisfied smile from the sidelines burned into my memory.Of course it was her. The way she had positioned herself near my lane. The perfectly timed trip. She had planned this. Just like she planned everything else.I was on crutches for at least two weeks, the nurse said. No running. No sports. No easy way to escape the hallways where everyone stared at me. I hobbled to my next class, the pain in my ankle nothing compared to the ache in my chest.Lucian had walked away with Mia. I had seen her grab his arm, leaning into him as they left the field together. The image replayed in my mind all afternoon. Her slim body pressed against his. Her laughter. The way she looked at me with triumph in her eyes.By the time I got home, I was exhaus

    Chapter 28I went home with a heavy heart. Lucian had insisted on walking me part of the way, his hand gently holding mine until we reached the corner of my street. He kissed my forehead softly before letting me go. “Be safe,” he whispered. “Text me when you’re home.”But instead of leaving, he followed me.“Lily, let me walk you home.”I looked into his eyes and found myself unable to refuse.“Okay.”I was terrified that Mom and Mia would find out I had been with Lucian, but despite my fears, I let him come with me anyway.When I stepped through the front door, Mom was waiting in the living room. Her face was tight with anger. Before I could even open my mouth to explain, her hand flew across my face.The slap was sharp and stinging. I stumbled back, my cheek burning.“Mom” I started, tears already forming.Lucian, who had followed me to the door out of concern, stepped forward. “Ma’am, please let me explain. It wasn’t what you think”“Get out!” Mom shouted, pointing at the door. “You

    When I woke up, the first thing I noticed was the soft, unfamiliar bed beneath me. My head throbbed with a dull, persistent ache, like someone had hit me with a hammer and left the pain behind as a souvenir. The room was dimly lit, the curtains drawn, and the faint scent of Lucian’s cologne lingered in the air. I blinked slowly, trying to make sense of where I was.Lucian’s bed.I sat up too quickly, wincing as the headache intensified. My clothes were dry now someone had changed me into one of his oversized shirts. The realization made my cheeks burn. I looked around the room: simple, masculine, with a few trophies on the shelf and a photo of him with his family on the nightstand. It felt intimate. Too intimate.Lucian was sitting in a chair beside the bed, his elbows on his knees, watching me with worried eyes. His hair was still slightly damp from the rain, and there was a small cut on his lip from the earlier fight with Max.“You’re awake,” he said softly, relief flooding his voi

    I waited in school longer than I should have. The library had become my hiding place during the last period, and I must have dozed off while pretending to read. When I woke up, the wall clock in the dim corner showed it was past 9 PM. Panic surged through me. The school was almost empty, the hallways dark and silent.“Oh God,” I whispered, grabbing my bag and rushing out.It was raining heavily outside. The downpour was relentless, soaking me instantly as I stepped into the night. I had no choice but to walk home. My uniform clung to my body, my shoes squelching with every step. The rain mixed with the tears already forming in my eyes.After a few minutes of walking, I noticed someone behind me. At first, I thought it was a mistake just another person heading the same way. But when I quickened my pace, they did too. My heart started beating faster. I took a few more hurried steps, glancing over my shoulder. Three boys. Their faces were hidden in the shadows, but I recognized the way

    I dragged myself out of bed the next morning, my eyes still puffy from another night of silent crying. The mirror in our small bathroom showed a girl I barely recognized tired eyes, pale skin, and a defeated slump in my shoulders. I stared at my reflection for a long moment, the weight of everything pressing down on me. Enough, I told myself. No more trouble. No more heartbreak. No more hoping for things that only hurt me. I made a promise right there in front of the mirror. From today on, I would avoid any drama. I would keep my head down, focus on graduating, and protect what little peace I had left. I opened my phone, deleted every soft post I had saved about Lucian the secret screenshots of his texts, the photos I had taken of him from afar. My thumb hovered over his contact for a second before I blocked and deleted his number too. It hurt, but it was necessary. I got to school with my walls firmly in place. Lucian tried to talk to me almost immediately. He waited near my lock

    I woke up with red, swollen eyes, the kind that made it obvious I had cried myself to sleep. My face felt puffy, my head throbbed with a dull ache, and my chest felt like it had been hollowed out overnight. The pain from overhearing Sam and Ben’s conversation still sat heavy inside me, like a stone lodged in my heart that refused to move.Mia was already awake, sitting on her bed and scrolling through her phone. When she looked up and saw my face, her expression shifted from casual indifference to mild curiosity.“Why are you like this?” she asked, tilting her head. There was no real concern in her voice only a detached interest, like I was some strange specimen she was studying. “Whatever made you like this… I’m happy about it.”Her words were the final crack in the dam.Anger and heartbreak surged through me all at once. I sat up in bed, my voice cracking as I shouted her name. “Why, Mia?! Why won’t you love me even once?!”The words poured out of me like a flood I could no longer h
