Amy’s POVAs soon as Mel stormed off, I felt an overwhelming wave of guilt wash over me. My heart twisted painfully in my chest as I watched her disappear into the distance. I couldn’t believe I had just told her to move out. What had I done? Mel was my best friend, and I had practically driven her away.“I need to go after her,” I muttered, starting to take a step forward, but Austin’s hand gently caught my arm, stopping me.“Let her go, Amy,” he said softly. His voice was calm, but there was a seriousness in his eyes. “She’s angry right now. If you try to talk to her, it’ll only make things worse. Let her cool off first.”I hesitated, looking between him and the spot where Mel had just been. He was right, Mel was furious, and nothing I said now would make her listen. Still, the guilt ate at me.&nbs

Amy’s POVI sprinted after Mel, my breath coming in ragged gasps as I finally caught up with her just outside the school building. The air between us crackled with tension, and I could feel the weight of everything that had happened pressing down on me. I had to know the truth, and I couldn’t let her walk away without answering the one question that had been burning inside me for so long.“Mel, stop!” I called out, grabbing her arm to get her attention. She stopped but didn’t turn to face me. I could see her shoulders rising and falling rapidly, her anger barely contained. “Why do you hate Austin so much?”She stiffened at the question, but she didn’t respond. Her silence only fueled my frustration. I needed answers. I couldn’t keep pretending everything was fine, especially not after what she had seen.&ldq

Amy’s POVI rushed down the hallway, my heart pounding in my chest. I didn’t want to avoid Austin, not really, but I couldn’t shake the promise I had made to Mel. She had been so serious when she asked me to stay away from him, and I didn’t want to disappoint her, not after everything she had been through. Still, pushing Austin away felt wrong, like I was tearing myself apart trying to please both of them.I slowed down, leaning against a locker as the confusion swirled inside me. I didn’t want this. I didn’t want to choose.Before I could collect my thoughts, I heard footsteps behind me. I turned, and there he was, Austin. He was walking toward me, his expression serious but determined. I could feel my heart rate spike just seeing him, and all the emotions I had been trying to bury came rushing to the surface.“Amy,” he call

Austin’s POVSeeing Mel back at school the next day was a relief. I hadn’t been able to stop thinking about her after what happened, and it felt good to see her walking around, looking healthy and in one piece. When we passed each other in the hall, she gave me a quick nod and even managed a small smile. It wasn’t much, but it was enough to ease some of the tension I’d been carrying.But Amy? She wouldn’t even look at me.I tried catching her eye several times throughout the morning, but she either pretended not to see me or made a point of turning away. By the time lunch rolled around, it was pretty clear she was avoiding me. I felt a knot of disappointment forming in my stomach. What could’ve gone wrong? Things had been fine between us before the incident with David, and even at the hospital, she’d been upset but still hugged me. No

Amy’s POV The moment I walked into the hospital room and saw Mel sitting there, bandaged and bruised, my heart broke. The bandages wrapped tightly around her arms and chest couldn’t hide the deep, ugly scratches underneath. Tears immediately welled up in my eyes as I stared at her, trying to process how this had happened. I had known she was hurt, but seeing the damage in person made everything so much more real.Without warning, the tears spilled over, and I couldn’t hold them back any longer. “Mel, what the hell were you thinking?” I yelled, my voice cracking under the weight of my emotions. “Why would you run off like that?”Mel looked away, refusing to meet my eyes. She stayed quiet, her expression tense, like she was bracing herself for the outburst she knew was coming.“I was worried sick about you!” I continued, stepping closer to her bedside. “And now look at you! You could’ve been killed, Mel! What were you thinking?”My voice wavered, and I could feel myself losing control

Austin’s POVI was walking through the woods, my mind racing from everything that had happened at the club. David’s attack had left me shaken, but more than that, I was worried about Amy. She had passed out, and I couldn’t shake the image of her lying there on the ground. I needed to clear my head, figure out what to do next, so I wandered out into the trees to try and collect my thoughts.My eyes caught something or someone I didn’t quite recognize at first. I took a step forward and I just had to admit, I didn’t recognize who it was. I saw a figure slumped against the base of a tree, covered in blood and dirt, their clothes torn. But as I got closer, my heart skipped a beat. It was Mel.She was lying on the ground, her skin pale, blood dripping from deep scratches across her arms and chest. My mind went blank for a moment, panic clawing at me as I rushed to her side. “Mel!” I dropped to my knees, gently shaking her, trying to get her to respond. Her eyes fluttered open for a second
