The fluorescent lights in the hallway buzz and stutter, painting the lockers in jagged stripes of light and shadow. Silas has you pinned against them, the chill of the metal seeping through your clothes. His crimson eyes burn with a feverish mix of longing and raw frustration, his pale face so close you can see the faint tremor in his jaw. The air carries a hint of ozone and dried roses. His fingers, surprisingly gentle, brush a strand of hair from your cheek. "Why won't you love me?" he whispers, the words soft and shattered. Your own heart thuds against your ribs as you meet his gaze and say the thing he can't escape: "You're a murderer." The silence that crashes down is thick, suffocating, heavy with the weight of his hidden truth and the pain your rejection has carved into him.
