~I think about you a little more than I should.~

Arcane POV:

Our exams are right across the corner and because of all the things which are happening in my life right now, I have zero preparation for them. This semester, I am definitely procrastinating.

And that single truth kept me tossing and turning in my bed all night long.I couldn't help the irritation that simmered within me. Why did she have to choose tonight to be away? Of all the times she could have spent at Abby's, it had to be this one. The room right across the hall felt empty without her presence. I couldn't shake the nagging feeling that something was amiss. Arcane's absence was like a void, and I despised how it gnawed at me, relentless and unforgiving.I glanced at the digital clock on my bedside table.

Here was where Xavier and I shared that kiss, a sweet moment in time. There, he lounged on my bed, playfully teasing me. And it was this very room where he saved me from my darkest moments, bringing me back from the edge. Tears threatened, but I blinked them away, resolute.
