his answer hits her harder than she could've anticipated ; unexpected and sudden , and the words hang in the air between them with unspoken weight as her eyes avert downwards . the simple honesty makes her pause , taking in his words , letting them sit and be absorbed instead of simply responding to them . it isn't a truth she'd considered , a fear she didn't expect to hear vocalized by him ; that the real scare didn't lay in the danger or the possibility of violence , but in the ache of missing the window and not being able to reach them in time . until now she's pushed it down , the thought of the alternative ending to the story . she'd wrapped herself in denial , thinking that the pain would be easier to bear if she refused to look into it too deeply ⎯⎯⎯ but perhaps the careful weaving of the disguise had unknowingly anchored her to the very darkness she was so desperately trying to escape .
she listens intently as he recounts the story of the young soldier once by his side . her mind is whirled with images ⎯⎯⎯ trying to imagine what it would've been like for his loved ones , his friends , his sisters . the thought alone makes her chest tighten . she doesn’t have to put her imagination to much use ; it's embedded in her bones , in her own heartbreak , spilling into the story . o’malley , his kindness and the small yet pure and selfless gesture amid his own chaos brings a faint smile to her lips — first one to reach her eyes that day , and it’s bittersweet . her thoughts drift to her own brother ; the soldier's face , blurred until now , merges with ender’s as the image sharpens , and suddenly he’s there ; too young , too scared and too far away from his family's reach as death claimed his innocence . nineteen , she thinks . “ he was just a boy , ” she mutters , and she's not sure who she's talking about anymore . her thoughts would often drift off to his final moment ; slumped down on the ground in the poorly lit shadows of some cluttered alleyway , gasping for air while blood pooled beneath him . and she'd always wondered , with an ache that never quite disappeared ⎯⎯⎯ was there someone kneeling beside him in the darkness , like mateo , trying to keep him breathing for just a second longer as he was bleeding out like spilled ink on the cold concrete and into the night , or did he draw his last breath alone and scared , leaving only the silent darkness to witness his last moments ?
the thought of him , the imagery , it becomes too persistent , too all - consuming , and she has to momentarily force her eyes shut to make her mind stop from spiraling further and pull her deeper into the darkness , to tuck the wave of oncoming emotion carefully behind the walls of her chest . “ did you ever speak to them ? his family , i mean . his sisters . do they know you tried to save him ? ” gaze cast down to the knife still in hand , resting in her lap , not quite knowing how to meet his stare as she speaks her brother's name out loud . “ with ender , i — , ” her throat closes , and she swallows painfully , fighting back the rising lump taking form . fingers curl nervously around the sleek steel for some kind of support as she continues . “ — i always thought that if i could just get some answers , if i knew what happened , what he saw . . . then maybe it would be easier to move on . ” a sigh passes her lips . “ i don't know . . . maybe i'm just trying to make myself feel better about the fact that i haven't , ” her shoulders roll with a small shrug , recognizing the very real possibility that she could be blaming her inability to put it behind her on someone else . “ but i'd like to think that knowing he wasn't alone when he — , ” she cuts herself off , lacking the courage to speak his passing into existence just yet . “ — that i would find some comfort in that . maybe they would too , you know ? ”
she sits quietly , the weight of his words settling into the space between them . sometimes it's just knowing someone else has carried it too . there is a strange comfort blooming at her chest , knowing she’s not alone , a fragile thread tying her to someone who understands the burden . but even as she draws comfort from the shared experience , a tenderness grows , an ache of wanting more than to just coexist with the shadows lurking in her mind ; to not just live alongside the fear . his routine was still impacted by his own , his worries . it had become permanent ; embedded so deep you no longer questioned it . he had seemingly made peace with the idea of forever living with that fear ; a quiet resignation , an unspoken surrender . not from weakness , but a recognition that some battles don’t always end with victory ⎯⎯⎯ an acceptance she’s not sure she’s ready to allow to become reality just yet . a flicker of something bothers her , a quiet discomfort at the thought of him resigned to a state where the shadows would never fully fade . she doesn’t wish for him to be forever haunted by his past , living with the echoes of those memories , tied down by fears that refused to loosen their grip . she wants him to find peace , not merely survive in the aftermath of the storm . “ you don’t have to move through it alone , though . ” the words tumble softly from her lips before she can catch herself , which brings warmth to her cheeks , a flush of regret creeping in . “ i didn't mean . . . i’m sure you have plenty of people to talk to already . ” the words feel too heavy now , too personal — like she's opened a door she maybe should've kept closed . had she overstepped ? been too forward , too presumptive ⎯⎯⎯ offering solace when they barely knew each other ; where it wasn't wanted nor needed . “ i just figured — , ” a careful beginning of a smile , delicate and shy of nature , carried with a shadow of doubt pulls at the corner of her lips , a flicker of anticipation in her gaze . “ — with everything you've already done for me . . one more can't hurt ? ”
she hesitates for a few moments , her throat tightening as the words hover . she searches for the right ones while another silence stretches between them . “ was that also when . . . ? ” her voice is quieter as she dares to pose the question . “ emre told me that . . . well , to be fair , i asked about you . and he , uh , he said you got hurt over there . ” there’s a slight tinge of embarrassment in admitting to the fact that she’d been asking questions , prying , so openly curious about his past , but knowing the deep running friendship between mateo and emre , she would rather expose her own curious nature than paint her uncle out to be anything but loyal to him . it’s not my story to tell , emre had said , but proceeded to trust her with a silver of truth . “ please don’t tell him i told you that . he's always saying i’m too nosy for my own good . ” she pictures emre’s frown at the very forefront of her mind ; deep and darkened and serious looking , in stark contrast to the way his voice would still carry its usual warmth , brows knitted together while he pinched the plump of her cheek ⎯⎯⎯ a habit that had transcended her grown age . “ you don’t have to answer that , ” she adds hurriedly , a hushed apology in her tone , “ i just . . . — , ” her words come to a halt , not quite sure how to finish the sentence , unsure about its direction and how to spell out the way she feels drawn to him ⎯⎯⎯ if she should even be admitting to that truth in the first place .
each story , every small , tentative moment of honesty , however minor , was another puzzle piece slipping into place , revealing a glimpse of him she’d never seen before . at first , she’d only known the shape of his silence , the guarded exterior he wore so well , but as he spoke , a picture began to emerge — one stitched together with vulnerability and fragile threads she was eager to follow . with every new piece , she found herself pulled closer in a way she couldn't quite explain . not yet . she realizes she’s learning about him gradually , little by little , like watching a mosaic take form ⎯⎯⎯ each fragment adding depth , color and shadows , despite instinctively knowing that some part would remain hidden . she looks away for a moment , her gaze drifting into the distance as her mind pulls her back to the bitter truth her mother once had spoken ⎯⎯⎯ men like them . . there's always another layer . a wall you think you've broken down , but really , it's just followed by another one . and no matter how close you get , you'll only ever see what they want you to see . the rest is buried so deep you can't reach it without getting your own hands bloody . she wonders if her mother had been right all along . “ — . . . i guess a part of me wants to get to know you better , that's all . ” the words feel raw as she looks back at him , half - formed , as if she's carefully testing the waters of her own feelings . her mind spins with conflicting emotions — wondering if it really was that simple . was she seeking friendship , just a fragile need for a meaningful connection ? was it fear of being left to navigate the aftermath of that night alone , simply clinging to the one person who'd been her anchor and shield against chaos ? or was there something deeper , messier , tangled behind it ?
mateo's gaze lingered on her as she spoke, not merely hearing the tender quiver of her voice or the subtle tremor that threatened to betray the strength she was desperately clinging to — he honestly watched. he observed how her fingers tightened around the knife with a white-knuckled grip, as if it were an anchor amidst a storm, especially when she whispered the name ender. in that instant, her voice wavered, not from doubt but from the overwhelming weight of a grief so profound it seemed almost unbearable. the name struck like a spark igniting a darkened room, illuminating a hidden corner of her soul that he had never seen before. its haunting presence latched onto his thoughts, refusing to be shaken loose. his own fingers mirrored her restless tension, curling and uncurling on his thighs as he sought for solid ground beneath the flood of emotions crashing between them. unpacking his thoughts felt like a herculean task; words clung to his tongue like stones, heavy and unwieldy. sharing the scary chapters of his life felt akin to dragging something razor-sharp across fresh wounds. a lump formed in his throat, something thick and ambivalent, a blend of sorrow and guilt, an ache that resided in the uneasy space between the two.
it would've been simpler if she'd just directed her anger at him, labeled him a weapon, or condemned him for surviving when so many better men had not. at least then, he would've understood the language of blame. but this — the gentleness in her tone, the flickering hope woven into her words, the raw, almost unbearable ache that trembled just beneath the surface — left him unsettled. the way she yearned to know if her brother had faced his end alone, whether someone had stood by him in those final moments, whether anyone had fought to save him — it didn't feel like a hypothetical question to mateo. it echoed a painful memory. it brought forth o'malley's name, a specter that haunted him, along with countless faces he couldn't erase from his consciousness, no matter how hard he tried. it was clear that she sought solace; she craved the elusive closure that so many never found. yet all he could dwell upon was the multitude of times he'd let others down in their search for peace. restlessly, he shifted his position, his elbows resting on his knees, his thumb grazing the jagged edge of the scar that marked his palm. a small ritual, this touch, a grounding reminder: you survived. you made it.
"i wrote 'em a letter," he murmured, his voice barely breaking the silence. "to his sisters. months later." he hesitated, the weight of unspoken words pressing against his chest. "i couldn't bring myself to call. didn't trust myself to say it right out loud, so i wrote it all down. told 'em what happened. told 'em he didn't suffer long… that he wasn't alone. that someone was with him to the end." he paused again, his gaze anchored on the knife resting in her lap. "but i left out my name. i didn't tell 'em it was me. didn't... didn't sign my name. just said… a friend was with him. thought it might be easier that way. cleaner. they didn't need my ghosts mixed up in theirs." mateo believed that by shouldering his burdens in solitude, he could shield those he loved from the additional weight of his sorrow. for him, silence and isolation felt like a refuge — a way to guard his loved ones from the tumult brewing inside him. over the years, he'd convinced himself that grappling with his pain in silence was the kindest option, a means to prevent dragging anyone else into the murky depths of his unresolved grief. he leaned back, surrendering to the moment as his gaze finally met hers. in the depths of his eyes lay something resolute, a quiet strength that thrummed beneath the weariness — an unyielding truth that didn't seek validation. "i think about him a lot. o'malley. not just how he died but who he was before. he was funny… loud… swore too much. he… he had a shit tattoo of a dragon that looked like a melted lizard." a huff of breath escaped him, almost a laugh, but it was fragile and laced with sorrow. "he used to steal extra rations and sneak 'em to the kids in the villages. he got caught more than once but never cared — always said we were supposed to be better than the stories they told about us." mateo's fingers trailed down his jaw, the rasp of stubble catching against his skin. ender's name lingered on his lips, but he wasn't ready to speak it; the weight of it felt too heavy. instead, he nodded, subtle yet resolute, like a promise quietly sealed. "it helps," he mused, "knowin' they weren't alone."
a silence unfurled between them, this time lighter, laden with a different kind of fullness. then ayila spoke — gentle, tentative, as fragile as a thread caught in a breeze: "you don't have to move through it alone." he blinked, his gaze steady yet inscrutable, while warmth crept into her cheeks, and her words hurried to recede, softening the offer as if afraid of its weight. he didn't cut her off; he let her voice flow, and he allowed himself to appreciate the way she hesitated over the kindness she was trying to extend. sure, he had the club, but half of them couldn't hold a serious conversation even if the sky was falling. he had his wife, but he'd meticulously built walls to ensure she never became a shoulder to cry on. his throat tightened as he slowly reached forward, gently taking the knife from her lap. he didn't flick it open — just held it, feeling its smooth contours and testing its balance, an invitation that felt almost sinful. it was too sleek, too pristine, and yearning to be wielded. "you're not wrong," he finally responded, his voice low and deliberate. "it's easier when someone's there. even if they don't say much. even if they just… sit with you for a while." as he handed the knife back, his fingers brushed against hers, the fleeting contact sending a strange warmth through him as their paths briefly intertwined.
her next question about his injury landed like a feather but carried the weight of a stone. he felt the air tighten around them, and his gaze fell to his leg. the silence stretched between them like an unbridgeable chasm. after a heartbeat, he broke it with a low, steady voice. "i've been hurt all over." the words hung heavy in the air, but he offered no further details, no explanation of the pain or the scars that mapped his body and soul, nor the circumstances that had led him to this moment. he sensed the apology blooming in her eyes, a deep well of sympathy that he didn't want to be thrust upon him. he'd molded his existence around the ache, learning how to bear the weight of it without seeking pity. "your uncle's good people," he replied, his tone now laced with quiet resolve. "he doesn't talk about things unless there's a reason. if he told you that much, it's 'cause he trusts you." mateo paused, stealing a glance at her once more. "i get why you'd wanna know more. about your brother. about… me." the admission lingered, and within him stirred a tumult of emotions — an unresolved conflict twisting like smoke in his chest, fierce and unruly, threatening to surface too quickly. so he steeled himself, forced it back down, and steadied his voice, seeking to maintain an evenness that felt just out of reach.
the truth ran deeper than mere knowledge for him — it resonated in the marrow of his bones, echoing through countless sleepless nights. he'd tasted the bitterness of life with fragments missing and felt the raw, gnawing sensation of loss that left him grappling for shards of clarity to mask the sorrow. the haunting silence that followed, the torment of unanswered questions about the fate of someone cherished — what they felt in their final moments, whether fear clutched at them or if they faced their end in solitude — had become an unwelcome companion. his mind had turned over these questions so many times that they had carved deep, etched lines into his soul. the ache that ayila bore now was achingly familiar, a ghost from his past that lingered in the shadows. maybe that was why her questions felt like a gentle embrace rather than an intrusion — she wasn't merely scratching the surface of his thoughts. no, she was reaching deeper, longing for a connection, grasping for something solid amidst the chaos. he understood her quest for meaning in the aftermath of pain; she wanted reassurance that someone had remained steadfast, battling to keep the flame of hope flickering, if only for a moment longer. mateo recognized that struggle because it mirrored his own. "i don't know if i'm the kind of man worth gettin' to know," he confessed, his voice low and contemplative, as his thumb traced the edge of his knuckle with a slight tremor. "not all the way." he gestured toward the door, a subtle shift in the atmosphere. "you, uhhh, got somewhere you need to be? i didn't mean to hijack your whole night." a faint glimmer of mischief sparked in his eyes, a fleeting teasing smile playing at the corners of his lips. "i can take a hint if i'm overstayin' my welcome." it wasn't meant to deflect — just a delicate maneuver, an exhale to allow space for more air without exposing too much of himself. yet, beneath it all, one undeniable truth lingered: he relished being near her more than he should have, more than he ever anticipated.

he's reached his breaking point ⎯⎯⎯ receiving sharp , dismissive glances all day , her tone clipped and avoidant at every turn . the quiet tension radiating between them had grown heavier with each passing hour , at last becoming impossible to ignore . now side by side at the kitchen sink , working on clearing out the aftermath of dinner , the faint clatter of dishes fills the quiet , until the sound of his current plate at hand being abruptly put down against the counter top replaces it , louder than anticipated . “ for fuck's sake , can you just tell me what's wrong and be done with it ? ” he turns toward her fully , words steady but edged with exhaustion . “ you've been snapping at me all day , and honestly ? i'm done playing this game of you pretending like nothing's wrong while i have to guess my way to the right answer . i can't read your mind , amber , and i shouldn't be expected to . ” voice is strained with years of worn patience , jaw clenched with suppressed emotions . “ if this is about the fact that i spent thirty minutes on the phone with jace , ” he continues , “ then at least act like a grown up and tell me . ”
amber didn't flinch or turn toward him when the plate hit the counter. she didn't move at all, really, except for the slight way her jaw tightened and her shoulders stiffened. god, he was so dramatic. "you know what's funny?" she started, hands still submerged in the sink full of water, voice calm in a way that never meant anything good. "i wasn't even gonna say anything about the call." she paused. "but since you brought it up—" now she looked at him, brows arched and eyes sharp. "i don't care that you were on the phone with jace. i care that you had a full-blown therapy session in the garage while i was in here cleaning up your mess and trying not to lose my shit over the fact that we've barely said two words to each other all day." a bitter laugh scratched her throat. "but yeah, tell me again how i'm the problem." she yanked her hands out of the sink and grabbed the towel, wiping too fast and too hard. "you always do this. any time i act even slightly annoyed, it's 'what's wrong with amber?' like i'm just some moody two-year-old ruining your perfect fucking evening. you wanna know what's wrong?" she tossed the towel on the counter, voice raising slightly. "what's wrong is that i'm tired, malik. tired. of this passive-aggressive silence, the fake smiles when we're around other people, and then you disappearing into the garage every time you don't feel like dealing with me. and don't stand there and pretend you haven't noticed we've been off for weeks." ⸻ "but sure. go cry to jace about how your wife's a nightmare and you can't read her mind." she rolled her eyes before looking away and reaching down to close the dishwasher door. "maybe he can translate everything for you."

“ why do you always call me when i’m on a date ? ”
the knock on the hotel room door came just as brodie was settling into the couch, one arm slung lazily across the back, game highlights playing quietly on the tv. he didn't even have to check. only one person knocked like that — sharp, impatient, and with something to prove. he opened the door to find odessa standing there in a backless dress, her lips glossed, hair still perfect — but her eyes? they gave her away. she looked like she hadn't fully decided whether she came here to yell at him… or something else. "why are you always on a date when i call you?" he couldn't help the way his eyes dragged over her, cataloguing every detail of her dress. he leaned forward a little, a shit-eating grin on his lips. "what'd you say to him? emergency with your bestie?" his brow lifted, mock sympathy bleeding into his voice. "poor guy."

“ i had a ring and everything . ”
"is this the part where you guilt me for working too much?" she snapped, rising abruptly from her desk chair. her tone was sharp, but her hands trembled slightly at her sides. "you did not have a ring," she scoffed, voice laced with disbelief. she turned away, jaw clenched as if the very idea bruised something tender inside her. "you think saying that now is going to make me wish i'd chosen differently? that i'll fall apart because you almost proposed?"
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤhe sounded like an asshole. and while evander should be most concerned with the way he’s speaking to the soon to be mother of his child, the panic engulfing his mind was flooding out the logic. or perhaps it was surfacing the reality of the situation he had gotten himself into. ❝ that came out wrong, okay. i’m just a little … surprised. ❞ and remembering that his entire job was to find out information about the going - ons in her life and report back to her husband, not fuck her ! ❝ and you’re sure it’s mine ? ❞
the brief excitement that fluttered in her chest suddenly dissipated when she fully registered evander's question. she barely breathed. the question hovered in the air, slicing through the announcement like a sword. she blinked once, then again — not because she hadn't heard him, but because it made her stomach twist. for one unbearable second, it felt like she'd imagined evander's tenderness, the nights they'd stolen, and the pieces of herself she'd handed him. she studied the way he looked panicked now — how the guilt sat heavy on his shoulders. "i want it to be yours." she didn't look at him right away. her gaze dropped to her stomach, still flat, still untouched by the telltale signs. "it is yours," she corrected. "i haven't touched my husband in months." the lie came too easily, leaving behind a numbness on her tongue. her marriage lacked love, not lust. yasemin released a slow, shaky breath. what she hoped would be an exciting conversation suddenly felt suffocating. but beneath all of it — the confusion and shame and want and fear — was the desperate hope that this could be the start of something new, something real. "i took a few tests, but i can call my doctor and have her confirm it."
ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤdigits tighten around the black - inked pen mid note scribble on another student's paper. his brain hadn’t fully comprehend the gravity of the situation, but he had enough knowledge of offer a mumbled : ❝ i wasn’t going to ask that. ❞ before he set the pen gingerly down on the desktop. it hadn’t crossed her mind that she may not be sure. she was smart, he’d seen it in his very own classroom, and given their situation, he would at least hope she was sure before bringing this to the table. ❝ how are you — how are you feeling ? ❞ the question makes his throat constricts. there’s a laundry list of questions begging to be asked, but he’s not a complete asshole. ❝ do you want to … take a seat ? ❞ it’s a blessing he had already been seated when she barged in absurdly or his knees would have given out by now !
rowan didn't sit right away. she flicked her gaze to the chair he offered, then back to him, like she couldn't decide if it was a trap or just a formality. her legs ached from pacing all morning, but there was something about sitting — about sinking into the seat across from his desk — that felt like permanent surrender. she shifted her weight instead, fingers toying with the hem of her sleeve. her voice was quieter now. "i feel like i'm about to throw up, pass out, or punch something… probably all three if my roommate doesn't stop coming home drunk at three in the morning and watching family feud reruns at max fucking volume."
she finally moved toward the chair, hovering for a second before finally lowering herself with a careful exhale, like the weight of the conversation might buckle the furniture. rowan leaned forward, elbows on her knees, hands clasped like she was praying to some god who specialized in cleaning up irreversible mistakes. "i haven't told anyone — not even my best friend," she admitted, her eyes finally meeting his. "you're the first. so maybe… just… don't look at me like that." her tone was clipped and defensive, but it trembled at the edges. the look on his face, whatever it was, had already begun to unravel her. "it's yours. i don't care what that lowlife, piece of shit nicole says to people, but i'm not a slut." ⸻ "i might fuck my professor, but i'm not a slut." there was a hollow kind of finality in the way she said it, like she left no room for graham to even think to ask if he was the father.

MILEY CYRUS Filming in New York City (2025)
pregnant . his jaw clenches , heart beating dangerously beneath the fabric of his shirt . despite the chaos of the situation he attempts to anchor himself ; to find a steady footing with the news he's just received and despite the tumult of conflicting thoughts roaming his head at the highest speed ⎯⎯⎯ confusion , shock , fear , it all clouds and clutters his mind . he keeps his expression calm , or at least he hopes he is , despite the storm brewing on the inside . pregnant . the statement still doesn't make sense despite how he internally repeats the word , as if reintroducing the concept over and over again with make it ring more true , make any of this feel even remotely close to real .
“ hey , hey , hey ” ⎯⎯⎯ brows furrow at the string of wild accusations thrown in his direction , palms raised up in front of his chest , digits slightly splayed in a gesture of surrender and silent plea for truce . old habits die hard , he realizes , recognizing how he so easily falls back into their old , familiar rhythm . despite everything , he can still recognize the signs of her spiraling from a mile away ; knows the steps as if he's walked them a thousand miles already , how to deescalate , to be her calm and safe haven when she needs it , be the shoulder she can lean on — even if it means putting his own feelings aside .
“ that's not what i meant and you know that . come on . . i know you do . ” had learned the hard way a long time ago that pushing her further would only fuel the storm , so he suppresses any rushed reaction that might make the situation worse . “ okay , ” he nods slowly as his hands lower , as if pleading for them to start over again , tries to keep his voice steady to mask an undercurrent of panic , “ you're pregnant . ” both a statement of forced acceptance towards himself and a testament to his unwavering faith in her words . “ i believe you . of course i do . ” tries to keep his voice steady , controlled , masking an undercurrent of panic that still rushes through him , “ let's just . . . take a step back and talk . . okay ? ”
his attempt to soothe her should've worked. there was no hint of accusation in his tone, which had dipped unexpectedly, taking on a velvety richness that wrapped around her like a warm blanket. she recognized that voice instantly; it was a comforting echo of early, drizzly sunday mornings and the fragile stillness that followed heated arguments. it was a voice that had once anchored her during tumultuous times, cradling her in a comforting embrace of security. but now, it felt more like a spotlight illuminating everything she'd tried to bury: her anxiety, her defensiveness, and the raw, jagged edges of her vulnerability. with his hands raised in a gesture of peace and an uncertainty in his movements, she felt trapped — like a wild animal cornered, or a patient in a dimly lit padded room being encouraged to take their medication. the air was thick with tension, and her instincts screamed at her to flee, even as she longed to find solace in the very sound that had once pulled her back from the brink.
amber had witnessed unsettling scenes more times than she dared to recount. as a teenager, she would find herself crouched on the dimly lit staircase of her childhood home, peering through the wrought-iron railings with a mixture of dread and fascination. from her hidden vantage point, she would watch her father corner her mother, his voice a forced calm that belied the storm brewing just beneath the surface. "anna, sweetheart, it's me — michael. i'm your husband. i'm mikey. you're safe, you're okay." in those moments, she could hear the tremor in her mother's shallow breaths and see the confusion swirling in her weary eyes, a glassy look that spoke volumes of the fear and frustration she endured. the way her father would press closer, attempting to erase the reality of their struggles by insisting that everything was fine — it unsettled amber deep in her bones. those words echoed relentlessly in her mind, serving as haunting reminders that the patterns of dysfunction often seep down through generations. with a deep breath, she forced herself to break free from those painful memories and pull her thoughts back to the present, where the echoes of her past could no longer reach her.
"don’t do that either," she hisses through clenched teeth, her voice dripping with defiance. "don’t treat me like i’m made of glass." but the truth was, she felt fragile, and the weight of that revelation clawed at her insides. just as she prepped herself for another verbal assault, malik dropped his hands in a gesture of surrender, his face softening with a sense of acceptance. he offered her a refuge in this chaotic moment, sparing her the turmoil of convincing him of the reality she already grappled with. "you’re pregnant," he said again, and the words struck her like a thunderclap, making her breath hitch in her throat.
in an instant, her mind transported her back fourteen years, to a time steeped in uncertainty. she found herself perched on the edge of the cold bathtub in her dimly lit dorm room bathroom, a pregnancy test trembling in her hands. staring wide-eyed at the two pink lines that marked her fate, disbelief washed over her. laughter bubbled up, but it wasn't born of joy; it was the bitter sound of fear taking root. she had envisioned a future painted with the chaos of motherhood, an inexperienced young woman grappling with the daunting task of raising a child with no guiding hand from her own mother. but the shocking warmth of abigail's father's embrace had enveloped her. he'd kissed her head and held her tightly, whispering that they would figure things out together. yet, by the time abigail turned five, that promise had unraveled. he disappeared, leaving an unsettling silence that crept into her life like an unwanted dinner guest, lingering long after his departure. but she couldn't afford to dwell on the past. the ghosts of yesterday had no place in her present. new problems loomed ahead and she faced the labyrinthine challenge of dealing with them alongside her ex-husband.
"it's fucked up," she says, her voice trembling as she takes a step back, accepting his invitation to simply talk it out. "we were together for all that time and never even had a pregnancy scare." a bitter scoff escapes her lip like a release of pent-up frustration. "if i believed in god, i'd swear he's just fucking with me... doing this to toy with me — torture me," she continues, her eyes narrowing as she embraces this train of thought, almost convincing herself to believe in a higher power she had long since dismissed. "i can't have another baby, malik. i'm already struggling to be a stable mother to her," she confesses, refusing to utter abigail's name, as if speaking it aloud would feel like an act of betrayal. she's her mommy. how could she be someone else's? "this—this wasn't the plan, malik. we were supposed to turn those fucking papers in and just move on with our lives." her voice begins to falter, her mind racing with a chaotic static of emotions. "i don't know what… i can't go through this… what am i supp—supposed to do?" she shakes her head vigorously, her thoughts a jumbled mess, overwhelmed by a flood of fears and uncertainty. "i just don't know what to do," she whispers, her voice fading into a defeated resignation, leaving a haunting silence in its wake.

" you’ll be very safe. i won’t let you get away again. "
"i'm sorry, joe. i'm sorry i ran. i've just... i've never had someone care for me this much. it scared me, that's all. i'm sorry. i know you lo—" her voice cracks as she forces a tiny smile, "—love me." her smile trembles on her lips, barely held together by instinct and adrenaline that has her heart beating like a jackhammer in her chest. she nods slowly, as if reassured — like his words were a promise and not a prison sentence. the tears streaking her cheeks burn, but she lets them fall — lets him think they're from relief. she has to keep him calm, needing him to believe that she believes him.
