Saw Me 30

Chapter 30 Jul 18, 2025 The question hit like a brick through glass. I sat there gripping the door handle like it might teleport me somewhere less complicated, chest doing that annoying thing where it forgets how breathing works. Honestly? I had no fucking clue if we were okay. Okay felt like a luxury for … Read more

Saw Me 29

Chapter 29 Jul 18, 2025 Chase didn’t say anything when I slid into the passenger seat. He just started the engine and pulled away from the curb, eyes forward, hands steady on the wheel. The silence between us wasn’t awkward—it was heavier than that. Like something sacred, breakable, and still bleeding. The afternoon sun filtered … Read more

Saw Me 28

Chapter 28 Jul 18, 2025 The courtyard buzzed with barely contained bloodlust. Students scattered when I walked by—not because they didn’t want to see the show, but because they wanted front-row seats with plausible deniability. Amber perched on the fountain like a queen surveying her kingdom of manufactured drama. Phone in hand, predatory smile locked … Read more

Saw Me 27

Chapter 27 Jul 18, 2025 The journal was hidden beneath my bed—pressed flat between an old hoodie and a cracked copy of Wuthering Heights. I hadn’t meant to write again. Not after the lists. Not after how badly things fell apart. But this wasn’t a list. It was messier than that. Realer. This time, I wasn’t … Read more

Saw Me 26

Chapter 26 Jul 18, 2025 Chase pulled me outside through the back doors of the cafeteria, fingers brushing my wrist like a tether that might snap. We ended up near the loading dock behind the auditorium, gravel crunching under our shoes, the sky a dull gray like it couldn’t decide whether to cry or combust. … Read more

Saw Me 25

Chapter 25 Jul 18, 2025 The cafeteria was a graveyard of silence. My voice still hung in the air from what I’d said. The sting of “And now fuck off, Miles” had barely faded, and already the crowd had tripled. No one moved. No one breathed. Trays sat untouched. Forks frozen halfway to mouths. Every … Read more

Saw Me 24

Chapter 24 Jul 18, 2025 The cafeteria buzzed around me like a hive I didn’t belong to. I sat at the edge of a table by the window, tray untouched, back straight, pretending not to notice the sideways glances aimed like darts at my spine. My phone was flipped over, screen dark. I didn’t bother … Read more

Saw Me 23

Chapter 23 Jul 18, 2025 The hallway reeked of floor wax and teenage desperation, but underneath? Pure poison. I felt the shift before I saw it—that collective intake of breath that happens right before someone gets publicly executed. Walking in anyway because I’m apparently a glutton for social annihilation. Amber hadn’t wasted a single fucking … Read more

Saw Me 22

Chapter 22 Jul 18, 2025 The beeping of the monitor was the only sound in the room. Soft. Steady. Too calm for what it was tracking. Chase sat upright in the hospital bed, eyes trained on the wall like it had answers. His wrist—bandaged. His expression—unreadable. The nurses had just left, and the silence they … Read more

Saw Me 21

Chapter 21 Jul 18, 2025 Hospitals weren’t built for hearts like mine. They were built for quiet tragedies, for machines that beeped like they were counting down the seconds you didn’t know you were losing. The walls were too white. The lights too bright. And the air smelled like lemon cleaner and hopelessness. I sat … Read more
