JAY-JAY POV
The air was still heavy.
Cyrus stood in front of me.
Section E behind me.
Keifer beside me.
Everything felt like it was balancing on something fragile.
Then Robin suddenly stepped forward, breaking the tension with a sigh.
"Cyrus… Jay-Jay," he said, rubbing his neck. "Let's just forget everything for now and apologize to each other. This awkward silence is painful."
I frowned immediately.
"Forget everything?" I repeated.
Cyrus didn't answer right away.
For once, he looked unsure.
Then he exhaled slowly.
"Okay," he said.
That made me freeze slightly.
Cyrus looked at me properly now.
Not angry.
Not defensive.
Just… honest.
"I actually miss you," he admitted quietly. "I'm sorry."
Silence.
Even Section E went still.
Cin literally stopped breathing for a second.
Cyrus continued.
"We didn't come here just for a fight."
My heartbeat slowed.
Then he glanced at Robin.
"We actually have a surprise for you."
A pause.
My brows furrowed slightly.
"…What surprise?"
Robin smirked a little.
"Someone you thought you lost."
My stomach dropped instantly.
Before I could react—
a car door opened behind them.
Slowly.
And someone stepped out.
Tall.
Familiar.
Older.
But impossible to forget.
My breath stopped completely.
No.
No way.
My mind went blank for a second.
"…Adrian?"
The name came out broken.
Like I didn't even believe myself saying it.
Adrian looked at me.
And for a second…
he just froze too.
Like he couldn't believe I was really there.
Then—
he smiled.
Small.
Soft.
Familiar.
That smile broke something inside me instantly.
"Jay-Jay…"
That was it.
I didn't think.
I didn't hesitate.
I ran.
Straight past Cyrus.
Straight past Robin.
Straight past Section E.
Straight into him.
And Adrian caught me instantly like he always used to.
My arms wrapped tightly around him, shaking slightly as everything I buried for years came crashing back.
"You're here…" I whispered, voice breaking.
Adrian held me tighter, one hand gently on my hair.
"I'm here," he said softly.
My eyes burned immediately.
"I thought you left forever."
His grip tightened slightly.
"I came back."
That was all it took.
Because suddenly I wasn't angry.
I wasn't confused.
I wasn't Section E's Jay-Jay.
I was just—
a girl who found her missing home again.
And I held onto him like he was the only thing keeping me steady in the world.
Behind me—
silence.
Even Section E had gone completely quiet.
Even Keifer.
Because everyone was watching the one person I hugged like he meant everything.
And right now…
he did.
