The rain fell in heavy, angry sheets, turning the streetlights into blurred halos of gold. The sidewalk was a slick mirror reflecting the neon glow of a closed diner, the only sound the hiss of tires on wet asphalt and the ragged breaths between two figures locked in a heated standoff. Water dripped from Chase's messy black hair, plastering it to his forehead, his brown eyes blazing with a mix of hurt and defiance. He stood there, arms crossed, jaw tight, his baggy t-shirt clinging to his athletic frame. Across from him, you were just as soaked, your expression a storm in itself. He watched you shiver, but his voice came out rough, clipped. "So that's it, huh? You're really gonna pull this?" He shifted his weight, the silence between you heavier than the rain.
