Keifer's POV
"I didn't sleep a single moment last night, my mind consumed by thoughts of Jay. Today, I have to do the most painful thing — break her heart. Not because I want to, but because I must. I have to protect her from my enemies, from my family… and from myself. I love her more than anything in this world, yet I'm about to shatter her. I don't know if she will ever forgive me, but I have no other choice."
"When I entered Section E, they wanted to talk about the plan, so we all went to the first floor. As we were talking, Jay suddenly came out of her hiding place and started asking questions.
'What's the plan, Keifer?' she asked
. I froze, my heart sinking. In that moment, I felt like dying. I have to break her heart — because if I don't, she will keep meddling in my matters, and that will put her in danger. And the worst part? I can't even protect her… because I am powerless."
"I used you to get back at your cousin,sorry sorry...your brother and whole section e knows . I said
"'Why, Keifer… why did you do this to me?' Jay's voice broke as she asked,
and my whole world shattered. In that moment, I wanted to tell her everything — to scream, 'Jay, it's not true! I love you… I love you more than life itself. I will love you until the day scientists find the end of the universe.' But I couldn't. I had to bite back my words, swallow my pain, and hold back the tears burning in my eyes. I had to stay cold so Jay wouldn't see through me, so she wouldn't know I was lying. Inside, I was screaming — I'm sorry, Jay. I'm so, so sorry."
Every word Jay spoke, every scream, every question — it all tore through me like a thousand knives. It felt like I was falling from a cliff, my chest shattering with every second. I wanted to grab her hand, stop this cruel plan, and tell her everything… but I couldn't.
Jay… you love us — all of Section E — and we love you more than you will ever know. You are not just a part of us, you are our heart, our soul. You are the sunshine that lit up our dark world. Before you came, we were nothing but shadows, broken and lost. You made us realize our worth, you made us a family again.
You have always stood by us, Jay, always believed in us, supported us even when no one else did. And now here I am, breaking you, hurting the one person who healed us. Please… believe me when I say this — we love you. I love you, Jay. Even if I have to be the villain in your story, my heart will always belong to you."
"Seeing Jay break in front of me, I can't even breathe — my chest feels like it's caving in. My hands won't stop trembling, but I force myself to stay standing. I have to be strong — for everyone, for my family… for my Jay.
But every sob, every tear running down her face feels like a dagger in my heart. It's tearing me apart, piece by piece. I have never felt this pain before — not even in my worst nightmares.
Jay is the only person who ever loved me without asking for anything in return. She didn't care about my money, my name, or my status. She loved me — the real Keifer. She took my broken heart, healed every wound, taught me that life could be beautiful again. She gave me a reason to smile… and now I'm the one taking that smile away.
I am breaking the very girl who put me back together. The girl who loved me, cared for me, stood by me when no one else did.
Tears burn in my eyes, but I swallow them down. I can't let her see me break.
Jay… please, stay strong. I swear, one day I will tell you everything — when I finally have the power to protect you and my brother. Please, wait for me. Please, don't lose hope. Believe in me one last time… even if right now, I look like the villain."
Watching Jay break and run from us felt like the ground was ripped out from under me. Everyone screamed her name and ran after her — but I couldn't move. I just stood there, frozen, my chest burning.
And then… I couldn't hold it in anymore. Tears I'd been fighting so hard to hide spilled down my face. I turned to the wall and started punching it again and again, desperate to feel something, anything — but every time my fist hit the wall, all I could see was Jay's face twisted in pain. That thought shattered me more than the bleeding wounds on my hand.
Blood dripped down my fingers, but I didn't care. My legs gave out, and for the first time in my life, I fell to my knees. The tears wouldn't stop — they poured out of me like a storm I couldn't control.
I wanted to run after her, to grab her, to fall at her feet and scream, 'I love you! Please don't leave me, Jay! Please don't hate me!'
But all I could do was sit there on the cold floor, bleeding, crying, and breaking apart piece by piece
