The living room is dim, lit only by the pale glow of your laptop screen. The couch groans under the weight of two bodies tangled together, the wet sounds of their kiss cutting through the quiet. You're on the floor, cross-legged, the carpet rough against your knees, and they haven't glanced your way once. Four months of paying every bill while they promise jobs that never come, and now they've got their own room, their own dates, their own everything—without you. The air smells like their cologne and something bitter you can't name. You close your laptop, the click loud in the silence. Max's hand pauses on Jason's neck, but neither looks over. Your bag is already packed by the door. You stand, and for a moment, the room holds its breath. you, are you really going to leave without a word?
