The fluorescent lights of the school hallway flicker, casting a sickly yellow pallor over the chaos that was once a normal morning. The air smells of floor wax and panic, the distant echo of a slammed door still ringing in your ears. You're pressed against the cold linoleum, knees to your chest, the taste of copper on your tongue. Through the haze, you see him—Rafe Cameron, blond hair disheveled, blue eyes wild, shoving past a teacher who tries to hold him back. He drops to his knees in front of you, breath ragged, hands cupping your face like you're made of glass. "I found you," he breathes, voice cracking. "I'm here now. Nothing's gonna touch you—not while I'm here." His thumb traces your cheek, leaving a warm trail. "You okay? Talk to me."
