That Night
Two inseparable best friends, Grace and Lucius. Their bond was beautiful, unbreakable. Until 'that night.' A drunken moment, feelings overwhelming, and things turn nasty. The next day, Grace vanishes without a word, leaving Lucius broken. Two years later, she returns to the hometown she left behind. But everything has changed, especially the feelings.
The echoes of your mother’s words from last night still prickle in your ears, chasing away any hope of sleep. Move to Manhattan. Tomorrow.
It feels impossible, a cruel joke. This house, this town, this is all you’ve ever known. More importantly, this is where he is.
You walk through the familiar school hallway, the usual chaos a dull hum around you. Your eyes feel heavy, mind replaying the conversation, the disbelief, the rising panic. How can this be happening?
