Drake's POV
this is happening while Jay and Keifer are in the hospital together
The rain never really stopped. It just changed rhythm—sometimes soft, sometimes hard, but always there. Kind of like the screams in my head. They fade, but they never disappear.
I can still see their faces when I close my eyes—my sister clutching that ragged doll, my little brother looking at me like I could fix anything. I was supposed to protect them. That was my job. My pride. And I failed.
It wasn't the fire that broke me—it was the moment before it. The second I realized I was too late. Running toward the flames, praying I'd hear something…anything. I did. Their voices. Then silence. The kind of silence that burns hotter than any fire ever could.
Everyone think I like the destruction. Truth is, I'm trying to out-burn my own memories.

I know, I know — emotional, right? 😭
But trust me… Drake's story isn't even the worst.

The Night Shadows aren't done yet. Every one of them has a fire they can't put out.
