As soon as I opened my front door, I froze at the spot. Something was terribly wrong, something big.
I was rolling my shoulders, one hand holding onto the pack of water and the other some snacks and burgers I had gotten for dinner when I paused and became aware of the swift change in the air.Home was different front he outside world, it didn’t have the noise and the stress, unnecessary bodies and conversations that didn’t matter so of course, it was meant to be different, but this was more than that.This switch was more than a switch from outside to home, something at home wasn’t right.I shut the door with my legs and before I could turn again to see the interior of my apartment, Nattie’s voice welcomed me.“You’re finally back,” Nattie said.From where I was, I couldn’t ass who was at the kitchen, so I doubled my steps, moving quickly, praying to God that I was making a big mistake with tRelated chapters

STACYI was seated at the wide wooden table on the library, my fingers drumming against my notebook.After spending the weekend with Jerome, I had to go back to my dorm room on Sunday Morning and since then, I’ve moved between lectures, studying and updating my story.I guess Jerome was right about he being a source of inspiration.Sex was a beautiful thing and the more we did it, the more I wanted more.It had his upsides but it also had its downsides because here I was, supposed to be studying for my upcoming tests but instead, I was thinking about Jerome and I.My mind did a lot of wandering these days, going back to all the places we could be together, all the things we could be doing or talking about or experiencing together.I loved that man. I was done lying to myself. This is the part where I accept that I am helplessly and shamelessly falling in love with him.The library was dead quiet as usual, and it was meant to be the sil

JEROMEI had not been able to stop worrying about Elena ever since Stacy told me about her sickness.The last time I had seen her; she looked quite healthy.I used to have her number, but I lost it on purpose because I couldn’t stand knowing that Marilyn’s mother was at the other end of my call line.It was because of me that Elena was alone in this life. Of course, she had family. I remembered Marilyn mentioning a brother that Elena had, Elena and Marilyn were also in good terms with Marilyn’s Dad’s side of the family even though he had died a while back.If she was sick, she would have people around her. I wanted to believe that she would, but you could never compare the love and care one would get from their immediate family over what the extended family had to give.If Marilyn was alive, she would be with her mother, she would be responsible for her health and I wouldn’t be here, stressing myself to shit about it.

JEROMEI stood outside Elena’s room, staring at the chipped paint on the wall. My heart was heavy, a mix of memories and nerves clashing together.The last time I had seen her, she was at home and, I didn’t expect to be meeting her at a hospital bed today.After I landed in Ohio, Dad picked me up from the airport, we went home for dinner and then I borrowed his car so I could drive to the hospital.I wondered who was paying for her hospital bills. She probably had enough to handle that but I wanted to contribute the little I could.I just wished there was a way to put it forward without it looking like a pitiful charity.I lifted my bands up and knocked, then I pushed the door open.There were a lot of machines around the bed, wires and tubes that ran around her. One ran around her face, the other was connected to her chest, her hospital robe, a bright blue colour.Her once vibrant blonde hair had turned a dull grey, the skin on

STACYI set eyes on the flyer when I was randomly talking on the phone with Jerome. We were meant to meet up for lunch to see if we could go over some new topics that were being rushed through, and then my eyes fell on the red and black poster. Riley Adams was coming to talk to the campus about the power stories yielded. I was hooked as soon as I saw the flyer in the notice board. She was going to talk about how they shape our world, define our identities and connect us in a way no other form of communication could. Whoever designed the flyer did a damn good job outlining the important parts of the message and Riley Adams, she did an even better job because she existed. I’ve read all of Riley’s novels, three of which were amongst my first paperback copies in middle school. She was one of the few authors that sparked my forever desire to be a writer and to be an avid reader. Honestly, when I came across the flier, it felt like it was talking to me dire

JEROME“Today, I’m telling her today.”“Your promise,” Stacy said or asked.Apparently, me saying that I was going to tell Lisa about us was not enough. My word was not enough, she wanted me to promise to her that I would do it, to give her more of my words that are not enough.I’m not even judging, I understand why she would be so disbelieving od my words. I didn’t even believe myself as much as I ought to. I really wanted to tell Lisa but would I? That’s something that only time can answer for me.“I promise. I can’t lie about certain things anymore and I think its time.”Stacy nodded, holding on to my words, believing that I would do it.I had brought up the idea of telling Lisa about what Stacy and I had last night. It had been on my mind for a while but I had pushed it aside, feeling like it was not the time yet, or that we needed some time to pass before the big reveal.

STACYLunch time for me would have been me hanging out with Lisa, Jerome or Lisa and Jerome but today, it was just me, myself and I.I couldn’t go be with them because that would be me messing up Jerome’s plan to come clean with Lisa.Did I believe that he was going to do it? Honestly, that was like asking someone in the stone age if they believed that science would bring innovations in the future. Of course, they would say no but look at us now, their saying no didn’t stop it from happening.I didn’t want to be the person that said no, that didn't believe and didn’t see the full picture.I had my trust in him, he would do what needed to be done.I tried to pay attention to every od my lecture, doing what I was meant to be doing while trusting that Jerome would do what was expected of him.I just had to trust him.Max was seated beside me and all through, he has not tried to indulge me in an unnecessary conversa

JEROMEI tried calling her for the fifth time that morning and she was not answering. I knew she was doing this on purpose because I had called Lisa and I had heard her voice in the background.There was no way I would miss Stacy’s voice.Yet, she wasn’t picking my calls.This wasn’t the first day I was trying to reach her and getting no progress with that.Yesterday was the first day of casting and so, I had to be at the studio. It was a fun experience, also a busy one so it didn’t occur to me that just maybe, I was getting snubbed.Today, it started to make sense. I did promise that I would tell Lisa but I didn’t do that and now Stacy was mad.How it has taken me ages to figure this shit out is just beyond crazy, and because of that, I feel its fair that she’s keeping away from me.Its the weekend and I expected them to come spend it with me, just as we’ve been doing for a while but Lisa called thi

STACYJerome pushed me across the locker and locked his lips on mine. I was so angry with him that I imagined I would want to peel him away from me, maybe to even kick him in the groin for everything.I loved him and when I wasn’t loving him, my emotions seemed to move to the other extreme side of the line, causing me to literally hate him.As Jerome’s lips brushed against mine, I felt my heart stutter and race at the same time. His touch, usually so comforting, now stirred a confusing mix of emotions inside me. I wanted to lean into him, to let him pull me closer like he always did, but something inside me screamed to stop. The warmth of his kiss, once a balm to my worries, only made my chest tighten this time, like a weight pressing down on me.Fuck him. Fuck me. Fuck this.I gave in and responded for a brief second, my lips moving against his almost on instinct, but then the hurt, the frustration, all the unsaid things bubbled back up, and I

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

I hated how busy she got most of the time, but I was also glad for her. 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

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

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. Empty cups on the table, laundry that I had somehow forgotten to do all week, and the constant pile-up of papers and things I should have sorted ages ago. It was all there, waiting for me, mocking my attempts at getting my life together.The f

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.
