When I opened the door to our dorm room, the air inside felt thick and stale, as if all the light and life had been sucked out of it. The first thing I noticed was how dark it was. No lamps were on, and the curtains were still drawn tight against the world outside. The only hint of light came from the dim streetlamp flickering through the edges of the curtain, casting a thin, silvery line across the floor.But then I saw her, sitting there, completely still, on the edge of the bed. I barely made out the shape of her body, her shoulders hunched forward, hands clutched in her lap. I swallowed hard, standing at the door for a moment longer than I should have, knowing she could probably hear me but wasn’t acknowledging my presence.It was like we were strangers again. The silence in the room was suffocating.I reached for the light switch, flicking it on, and the sudden brightness was almost too much. Lisa squinted against the light, her eyes red,Related chapters

JEROMEKingston leaned back in his chair, his hand brushing against the edge of the coffee table, fingers tapping lightly as though they were trying to grasp onto a thought that kept slipping away. The cafe we’d chosen for our afternoon catch-up was one of those place she liked—quiet, separate, almost tucked away from the rest of the world, with dim lighting and the scent of roasted coffee beans hanging in the air like an old song you couldn’t quite forget.“I swear, Jerome, I didn’t want to be there,” he said, laughing.I caught the glint of frustration in his eyes as he asked, “You ever been to a wedding where you’re standing in the back, watching it all happen, knowing every second that it’s a bad idea? Like really knowing?”I raised an eyebrow. “So, what, you were the tragic figure of protest in the back rows? A silent martyr for unspoken discontent?”He scoffed. “Don’t

STACYI arrived at the library just as the sky was beginning to shift from deep blue to a muted gray, the first hints of morning seeping through the windows. The building was practically empty when I walked in, only the library staff and a janitor on duty.I greeted them and walked to a secure spot to read.I always loved this time of day—the hours before the chaos of classes and chatter filled the halls. It was the only time I felt like I had any control, like I could set the pace for the day ahead.And today, I needed that control or an illusion of it.I dropped my bag onto the wooden table in the far corner, the one by the window where I’d spent countless mornings studying. My notes felt like a mess, scattered pages with half-written thoughts, highlighted lines that no longer made any sense to me. I stared at them for a moment, feeling a quiet unease growing. I had an exam today—a big one—and I wasn’t ready. Not even close.

JEROMEToday was a slow day. Everything felt like a long, never ending drag, from when I got up from my bed, from when I dressed up and cleaned my shoes, from when I drove down to school.This was what happened when the session was wounding up, when exams were slowly coming to an end.Students and teachers were designed, administrative sector was tired, everyone just wanted to be done and home already, and that included me, except that I didn’t want to be at home.At least not back in Ohio.I looked up intom to spot Lisa just as she stepped out of the exam hall, blending in with the rush of students pouring into the hallway. Her eyes were fixed ahead, but when she saw me, a small smile tugged at the corner of her mouth. I raised a hand to catch her attention, and she adjusted her bag on her shoulder, making her way over.Relief was the first emotion that washed over me, like cold water slipping down my face.She had told me to waist fro she

STACYI couldn’t believe it was over, not even after I walked out of the exam hall. I was exhausted, I was relieved, I was grateful.There was also a foreboding sense that came along at some point, reminding me that the one thing which has taken my mental energy was now gone, giving me enough time to be miserable about stuff.I paid no attention to that foreboding sense.The exam itself had been tough, but nothing compared to the issues I was facing. I felt like I’d been running on fumes for so long that I wasn’t sure how to just stop and breathe.I stepped out into the sunlight, blinking against the brightness. The courtyard was busy, students chatting and laughing in clusters, already celebrating the end of the semester. For a moment, I thought about just slipping away, heading back to the dorm to be alone with my thoughts. But then I remembered what Lisa had said—she was waiting for me outside.I

JEROMEI stood on the balcony, leaning against the railing, staring out at the city sprawled beneath me. The sky was overcast, thick clouds hanging low, casting everything in a soft, grayish hue. There was a faint chill in the air, and I took it in, clearing my headI liked the coolness, the way it seemed to calm everything down, slow the world just a little.From where I stood, I could hear the faint sounds of Stacy and Lisa from inside the apartment. Their voices were muffled, laughing and talking, sometimes louder when they teased each other about something. I couldn’t make out the words, but it was obvious they were in a good mood and it was obvious they had moved past the incident.I was the o my one that had not.Today, they were heading back to Ohio. Their flight was scheduled for later in the afternoon, and I was supposed to drop them at the airport.I had been dreading this day, even though it was just another drop-off a

STACYWe touched down in Ohio some minutes ago, found our luggage and went in search for Lisa’s Mun who was waving at us with a bright smile and a placard that read, COLLEGE STARS.It was so embarrassing and if I didn’t have anyone to drive me to the city, I would have ditched Lies there and then.Sitting in the backseat of Lisa’s mom’s car, I stared out the window, watching as the city passed by in a blur. It was strange being back home, like slipping into a familiar jacket that somehow didn’t fit quite right anymore. Lisa was in the front passenger seat, rummaging through her Mum’s bag.I Could almost still sense Jerome sitting beside me. Almost.The more we drove into the city, the further everything that happened before felt like a dream. The affair between me and Jerome, the fallout with Lisa, the endless exams—it all felt like a dream now, like something that had happened to someone else.

JEROMETime came and went by quickly, stealing through spaces, like a flash and somehow, it was the day for Stacy and Lisa to turn back to school.The day started off quietly, the kind of calm that usually precedes something big. I had to wake up earlier than usual, mostly because I wanted to get things done before picking them up.It was also hard to oversleep when you were seeing the love of your life.They were flying back today, and though I wasn’t exactly looking forward to the reunion, I wanted to at least make sure everything was in order before they got here.My apartment was a mess, and it didn’t take long to realize that cleaning up would take more effort than I had thought.

It was all there, waiting for me, mocking my attempts at getting my life together.The f

STACYThe morning sun filtered through the curtain and pulled me out of my sleep.I stretched my arms above my head, blinking the sleep from my eyes as the day was about to start.Lisa was already up, rummaging through her drawers, her usual energy evident in the way she moved about. I could hear the faint sound of her humming to herself, a tune that was familiar but not quite memorable.“Morning,” I mumbled, pushing myself up and running a hand through my hair.Lisa turned around, her face lighting up with a smile. “Morning, sleepyhead! We’ve got to get a move on. First day back, remember?”I groaned softly, not quite ready to face the world just yet. The holiday had been a mix of relaxation and catching up on things we’d neglected during the semester, but the thought of diving back into classes already felt a bit overwhelming.Lisa, on the other hand, who was not an early riser, was rath

STACYI still couldn’t believe I had agreed to this. A joint date with Lisa? Lisa and Kiera.The thought swirled in my mind as I stood in front of my mirror, staring at my reflection. My fingers traced the hem of the dress I had picked out—simple, yet flattering enough for what felt like one of the strangest nights of my life.Lisa had convinced me, somehow, to go along with this. I wasn’t even sure how it all happened. One minute, we were awkwardly avoiding each other, and the next, we were laughing about how ridiculous it was that we were going on this double date.I heard a knock on the door and glanced at my phone—Lisa, of course, right on time.“Come in!” I called, still fussing with my hair. The door swung open, and Lisa waltzed in, her usual confidence trailing behind her.

STACYI woke up slowly, the warmth of the blankets making it hard to tell where the bed ended and my body began. The sunlight trickled in through the thin curtains, casting soft streaks of light across the room. For a moment, everything felt serene, like I could stay in this cocoon of warmth and silence forever. Then I realized Jerome wasn’t next to me.I rolled over, blinking sleep from my eyes, and saw the empty space where he should have been. The sheets were crumpled on his side, still warm. I heard the faint sound of water running and figured he must be in the shower. I lay there for a minute, listening to the sound of the water and feeling a strange sense of distance. It was odd, waking up without him beside me. We’d spent the night together, but it hadn’t felt as close as it usually did.I swung my legs over the side of the bed and padded across the cool floor, feeling the chill against my bare feet. The bathroom door was slightly

JEROMEShooting that day had been intense. We were working on one of the final scenes, the kind that was supposed to be raw and emotional, but instead of saving it for later in the production schedule, the producers wanted to get it done early for promotional material. It was all part of the business. We had to sell the movie, and nothing sold better than a sneak peek of a climactic moment.The set was buzzing with activity. Lights were being adjusted, makeup artists hovered nearby, and the crew moved around, setting up equipment and whispering about the next shot. I felt the pressure building, but I was used to it by now. This wasn’t my first film, and it definitely wouldn’t be my last.Chase called for a break, and I seized the opportunity to step away for a bit. I’d been on set all day, and I needed a breather before getting back into the set. Besides, I had something else on my mind. I was supposed to meet up with Stacy after we

STACYLisa had been gushing for weeks about how she was excited to introduce Jerome to Kiera. The way she talked about Kiera, with that glimmer in her eyes, made it impossible not to be happy for her.Everything was going to go fine today, I could already sense it.I was on shift that afternoon, taking orders and serving trays like usual. The restaurant wasn’t too packed, which gave me time to glance around, keep an eye on the door. Part of me was hoping they’d pick another spot, or maybe decide at the last minute that a fancy café was better suited for a first meeting like this. But, of course, that wasn’t Lisa’s style. She loved the casual vibe of Burger Trio, and it was one of the few places where she and Jerome could relax.The good thing was I missed my friends and wanted to see them, the bad thing was I missed my friends and wanted to see them.They made working but hard and pleasurable.I was

It was a responsible step toward her finances, even if it meant we had less time together.That evening, after a long day at work and a quick game of snooker with some friends, I decided to drop by Burger’s Trio, where Stacy worked one of her shifts. I’d been by a couple of times before, usually sneaking in to see her just as her shift ended. Tonight, I hoped I was early enough to catch her in action.As I walked through the door, the

STACYI knew I had to talk to Stacy when I was ten minutes into the lecture.The urge was so primal, so hungry that thee was no escaping it.The class had ended in a rush of students gathering their belongings and shuffling out of their seats. I stood at the front, gathering my notes and trying to maintain my composure.I was watching her pack her stuff, watching her move quickly with her hands.“Mr. Jerome!” one of the guys called out. “Do you have the syllabus handy? I think I missed a few details.”He was one of my students, blonde curly hair, a portion of if swooped across his forehead.“Of course,” I replied, pushing my thoughts of Stacy aside. I had to focus. “Here’s a copy for you.” I handed it to him.“Also, can y
