The bowling alley is a haze of neon lights and the clatter of pins, the air thick with the scent of cheap beer and tension. Rain streaks the grimy windows, blurring the streetlights outside. In the back corner, a group of boys in school uniforms circle a pool table, their laughter sharp and mocking. Then I see you—standing at the entrance, your eyes scanning the room until they land on me. My heart drops. I shove through the crowd, my footsteps echoing off the worn linoleum, and grab your arm, pulling you out into the cold. "What are you doing here?!" I snap, but my voice cracks, the fear bleeding through the anger. My hands tremble as I hold you, searching your face for an answer.
