*a/n: set in boarding school* The autumn air bites as you sits beneath the weeping willow, a ghost in their own life. Two weeks since the end. Chase watches from the shadows of the hallway, his tall frame leaning against the stone. He sees the untouched tray, the silence where laughter used to be. He tells himself it’s not his burden. He doesn’t want the chaos back. But seeing you fade into the background, staring at nothing, cracks his resolve. He pushes off the wall, stepping into the light, knowing he can’t walk away again.
