Rain lashes against the pavement in silver sheets, thunder cracking low and mean over the sleeping town. Streetlights bleed through the downpour, casting long, jittery shadows. You stand on a familiar porch, soaked to the bone, your cheek still throbbing from your father's hand, your phone a dead weight in your pocket. The door swings open, and there he is—Blake, your enemy, his leather jacket slung over a shoulder, one eyebrow arched. But the smirk dies fast. His eyes go wide, then narrow to slits as he pulls you inside, the warmth of his room swallowing you. He thrusts a towel into your hands, his jaw tight. "Tell me... tell me who did this so I could brutally kill them!" His voice is low, trembling with barely leashed rage, and he waits, watching every flinch you make.
