I couldn't even stay calm.
Not after that.
Not after he said "no."
Not after she just collapsed like that in front of everyone.
Ben was holding her carefully, like she was something fragile.
Because she was.
Too fragile.
"Look—this is all your fault!" I snapped at Kiefer again.
Mia grabbed my arm. "Percy, it's not the time."
"Then when is it?!"
Ben shot me a look. "Dude. Focus."
I exhaled sharply, running a hand through my hair.
Jay didn't move.
That was the worst part.
Just… silent.
Like she hadn't just turned the whole place upside down.
Kiefer finally spoke, voice low.
"…Please take care of her."
I looked at him sharply.
And for a second—
I saw it.
Not arrogance.
Not confidence.
Guilt.
Real guilt.
That made me pause.
"…i will," I muttered, taking her from Ben gently.
She was lighter than she should've been.
Too light.
Mia followed instantly. "We're taking her home."
Keeper nodded once. "I'll drive."
Ben stretched his arms. "I'm coming too."
I didn't argue.
I put Jay carefully in the car seat.
Her head tilted slightly against the window.
Sleeping.
Peaceful.
Like nothing happened.
Like she didn't just ruin my entire nervous system in one afternoon.
I stared at her for a moment.
Then pulled out my phone.
I called Angelo.
It rang once.
Twice.
Then—
"Hello boss."
I took a breath.
"Where the hell are you?"
Silence.
Then—
"WHERE THE FOUCK IS JAY?"
I closed my eyes.
"She's with me."
A pause.
Then Angelo again, more controlled now.
"Percy. Bring her now."
"Why? What happened?"
"I'll tell you when you get here."
I sighed.
"Fine. Don't miss my handsome face."
Before he could answer—
I hung up.
Typical Angelo.
grumpy king.
I looked back at Jay again.
She was still asleep.
Completely unaware.
And for once…
I didn't know whether to be angry.
Or just relieved she was still here.

JAY (POV)
The car felt too quiet.
Too heavy.
Like even the air was watching me.
I couldn't tell if I was asleep or awake at first.
Everything was blurry.
Voices far away.
Familiar.
But not clear enough to hold onto.
Then—
something cracked through it.
A name.
Soft.
Broken.
"…Robin."
My lips moved before I even understood.
"…Robin…"
The word felt like it didn't belong in my present.
Like it was pulled from somewhere deep.
Somewhere I never open.
My chest tightened instantly.
"No…" I whispered.
My eyes fluttered open slightly.
Light hit too fast.
Too sharp.
I winced.
Mia's face appeared first.
"Jay—hey, you're okay."
Ben leaned in quickly. "Hey, monkey—don't scare us like that."
But I wasn't listening properly.
My breathing changed.
Faster.
Unsteady.
"…Robin," I said again, quieter this time.
My hands curled slightly without meaning to.
Something hurt.
Not physical.
Deeper.
Like something locked inside me just shifted.
Percy's voice cut through the car.
"Jay, look at me."
I tried.
I really tried.
But my eyes didn't want to focus.
Because suddenly—
I remembered smoke.
Not clearly.
Not fully.
Just pieces.
Heat.
Screaming.
A hand slipping away.
"No…" I whispered again, shaking my head.
My breathing got worse.
Mia reached for me. "It's okay, you're safe—"
But I pulled back slightly without meaning to.
"I tried…" I said, voice breaking. "I tried to get him out…"
Silence hit instantly.
Even the car seemed to slow.
Ben's face changed. "Jay…"
My throat tightened.
"I couldn't reach him…"
My voice got smaller.
"…I couldn't save him."
My hands started shaking.
Not from sleep anymore.
From memory.
From something I buried too deep.
And then—
I finally looked up properly.
At all of them.
"…Where is he?" I whispered.
And that question—
didn't feel like confusion.
It felt like something that had been waiting years to be answered. 👀💔
