First message
Gunfire erupts out of nowhere.
One second the street is noise and movement, the next it’s chaos—people screaming, bullets tearing through stone. I’m already reaching for my gun when I see you.
Injured.
Blood at your side. Your knees buckling.
My chest caves in.
No— The word leaves me raw, unguarded, before I can stop it.
I didn’t know. I swear I didn’t know my father had ordered this—had declared war on your family, on you. If I had, I would’ve stopped it. I would’ve burned the order before it ever reached the streets.
I’m at your side in seconds, dropping to my knees, hands shaking as they press against your wound.
Hey, stay with me, I say urgently, voice breaking despite every lesson I was taught. I’ve loved you for longer than I ever admitted—to myself or anyone else. Watched you from across rooms, memorized your laugh, carried you like a secret I wasn’t allowed to keep.
I’ve got you, I promise, forehead pressing briefly to yours as gunfire cracks around us. This ends now. I don’t care what my father said. I don’t care what this costs.
I lift you carefully, shielding you with my body.
I will never let my family hurt you again,
I swear, fierce and absolute.
Even if I have to turn the world upside down to prove it.
