Chapter 101
The sun's rays spread wildly across the ESU quad. It was a sunny mid day, students were milling about the hall, chattering and doing normal things students do when they are between classes.Among the many students walking about the quad were Nathan, John, and Aaron. Aaron was grinning from ear to ear. "Bro, you won't believe it," he said raising his hands triumphantly above his head. "Ava said yes to the date."The other young men wore surprised looks on their faces. "That's great," they said simultaneously."Man..." Aaron gasped once more. "You really worked magic on those girls didn't you, Nathan? Ava is a changed person now."Nathan turned to him. "Well, I don't know if calling it magic is correct but what I did do was to teach them some sort of humility.""Well I did work," John exclaimed, throwing an arm over Nathan's shoulders. "Bella too agreed to come to the dance with me. Well, she did laugh and give me a clause though.""What clause?" Nathan and Aaron asked semi pensively.

The ESU ballroom, was lively, glowing under the strings of fairy lights and a rotating disco ball that threw lights of various colors across the polished floor. The Winter Formal was in full swing, as slow R&B ballads mixing with pop hits, filled the air, coupled with laughter from the students rising over the beat, and couples swaying or posing for photos against the backdrop of fake snowflakes and blue velvet curtains.Nathan arrived holding Rhea’s hand.She wore a deep blue gown that shimmered like the night sky, with the stars spotting it. It was sleeveless, fitted through the bodice, a flowing skirt with a subtle slit that revealed her silver heels. Her hair was swept up in a soft chignon bun, with a a few hair tendrils framing her face. She had no heavy makeup on. Yet, her radiance, confidence, and quiet poise was enough to have heads turned the moment they stepped through the double doors.Whispers rippled outward in the hall like water. “Is that Rhea... She looks unreal.”“Wh

The ballroom lights had dimmed a little for the slow songs played by the DJ, transforming the space into a sea of soft blue and silver lights. Couples swayed lazily in circles, as the DJ played something smooth and aching. Strings and a low piano that made everything feel intimate and fragile. Nathan held Rhea close, one hand on the small of her back, the other cradling hers against his chest. Her head was rested on his shoulder, her breath was warm against his neck.They had danced through three songs already, barely speaking, just moving together like they had done it a thousand times before. Every now and then Nathan would feel her smile against his shirt, and he’d tighten his hold just a little, as if to say I’ve got you and I’m not letting go.The song ended. The DJ transitioned to something even slower. Rhea lifted her head a as the other songs ended, with brightened eyes.“I need to use the restroom,” Nathan said quietly, brushing his thumb across her cheek. “I’ll be right bac

Nathan pushed open the front door of the townhouse just before 2 a.m. The hallway light was on, low enough and warm enough, just the way Charity always left it when someone was out late. His shoes squeaked faintly on the polished floor as he walked. He had spent the last three hours walking the streets around the school, calling Rhea’s number over and over, with each unanswered ring twisting the knife deeper into his soul.Voicemail, over and over again.He stood in the foyer, his phone still clutched in his hand, breathing hard, with the warmth propelling from his mouth into the cold night air in the form of smoke. The house felt too quiet, as he stood there alone. Charity appeared at the top of the stairs, a robe tied tight around her, her gray hair loose around her shoulders. She looked down at him with tired, knowing eyes.“She’s here,” the old woman said quietly.Nathan’s head snapped up. “She came home about an hour ago, and then locked herself in her room. She wouldn’t talk t

Nathan stepped through the front door of the townhouse just before dusk. The hallway light was on, casting long shadows across the polished floor. His shoulders were heavy from everything that was going on, including the silence that had followed him home like a second skin, and the new grounds he was about breaking with his new project.Charity was in the living room, knitting a scarf in her armchair. Rhea sat on the far end of the couch, with knees drawn up to her chin, staring at nothing. She didn’t even look up when Nathan entered."Good evening, grandma," Nathan said to Charity. She beamed a smile at him. "Good evening my child. Welcome back home.""Good evening, Rhea," he said, eyeing the dark haired girl sitting on the couch. He got no replies from her. He swallowed and cleared his throat. “I have something to tell you both,” he said quietly.Charity set her needles down and watched her grandson with expectant glee. Rhea stayed still.“Tomorrow is the grand opening of the new

Rhea sat curled on the living room couch, knees tucked under one of her oversized hoodies, with the television volume low but still manageably audible. The screen showed the grand opening of the new Project Kickstart office in Brooklyn. Nathan stood at the podium, in his charcoal suit, with no tie, and his voice calm and clear as he spoke about purpose, second chances, and the kids who had already started changing their lives by coming to project Kickstart.She watched him as he spoke, with an almost pensive look to her. She watched the way his shoulders relaxed when he talked about Mia’s app, coupled with the quiet pride in his eyes when he mentioned Marcus going back to school, the way he kept glancing toward the side of the stage, as if making sure all the volunteers were still there, standing with him, as though they'd disappear any moment from then.But then her mind drifted back to the ballroom, to the frozen frame on the big screen that showed Amelia’s hands on Nathan’s face,

Nathan’s eyes fluttered open to the sterile white ceiling of the hospital room that he found himself in. The faint beep of a heart monitor filled the quiet space, in a steady and rhythmic manner. His left shoulder throbbed with a dull, heavy pain, as it was wrapped tightly in bandages that pulled against his skin. His breath was raspy and shallow. He was still trying to deal with the fact that he was just shot, and managed to survive. The room smelled of antiseptic and faint lavender. It seemed someone had placed a small bouquet of the Flowers on the windowsill.He turned his head slowly to look at the side. There was a strange human presence he was feeling. Rhea was there. She sat in the chair beside his bed. Her eyes were red-rimmed and swollen, with one hand gripping his own hand tightly as though letting go would make him vanish into the wind. Her hair was messy, and pulled back into a careless ponytail, and she wore the same hoodie she’d had on the night before, the one that st

Rhea stood just outside the hospital room door, with her arms wrapped tightly around herself as if that could hold her together, and stop her from breaking apart as she was feeling like a terrible demon in her was about to break apart.The doctor had gently asked everyone to step out so Nathan could rest. “He’s stable,” the doctor said, holding his stethoscope to Nathan's chest, “but he needs quiet now.” The words should have brought relief, instead they only made the guilt heavier in her chest heavier. She felt as though staying in there with him made his condition worse, and that the only reason Nathan was in the room in the first place was because of her.She leaned against the wall, with her eyes stinging, tears about to fall down on her cheeks.This is my fault, she thought. If she hadn’t run from the dance things might have been different. If she hadn’t believed the clip without giving him a chance to explain, If she had stayed and trusted him, perhaps all of this wouldn't hav

The hallway outside the ESU ballroom was quieter now that the Winter Formal was over but the music still thumped through the walls as some students still hung around trying to have a little fun. The music was pulsing like a distant heartbeat. Michael and Melody had pulled Amelia into a small alcove near the coat check, away from all the prying eyes and phones that were around. Amelia stood with her arms crossed, her dress slightly rumpled, with her eyes still red from all the tears she had been crying.Michael paced in front of her, his voice low and sharp as he stepped front and back.“What the hell was that, Amelia? Forcing yourself on Nathan in the bathroom? That wasn’t part of the plan. We were supposed to chip away at his reputation slowly, with rumors, leaks, and subtle sabotage. Not some desperate public stunt that could have blown up in our faces.”Melody leaned against the wall, her arms were folded, but her eyes glinted with reluctant approval. “Still… it worked. Half the s

The private hospital room on the top floor of Brooklyn Methodist was almost quiet. It would have almost been mistaken for a mortuary or some necropolis of some sort if not for the steady beep of the heart monitor that gave some sort of announcement to Nathan that he was still alive, and not some undead being that thought he was alive. Nathan sat propped up against the pillows, with his left shoulder still heavily bandaged, and a dull throb pulsing through his body with every breath he managed to take. The painkillers kept the edge off, but the reality of what had happened still felt raw. Even though he felt no pain in his physical body, the memory of it all still playing in his mind was enough to still cause him equivalent pain.Jude Fuller stood by the window with arms crossed over his chest, staring out at the Brooklyn skyline. David Brune sat in the chair beside the bed, with his usual tablet still in hand, reviewing the latest security briefing.Nathan broke the silence first. “W
