Steph's Pov “I hate my life.” Rebecca complained to me. The poor girl's disheveled state was enough to tell me how she felt this morning. An emergency meeting was being held at the sports complex. The same place where the basketball matches were held. Just our meeting was taking place in an office at the top floor whereas the basketball court was on the first floor. The reason why our poor Rebecca completely despised her life was because the meeting had been called at the last minute. We had just gotten off from our three hour long lecture with Mitchell, and had to rush all the way to the complex. “As we all know we're gathered here to discuss the recent events that took place during the match. We'll be studying the preventative measures, to lessen the patient’s injury as much as possible……” The lecturer droned on, and I tried to half-assedly pay as much attention as I could. From the corner of my eye, I tried to muffle my smile, watching Rebecca try

I fumbled with the keys to my apartment, my hands shivered as I tried to insert the key into the lock. I walked in through the door to find Stella standing in the kitchen, stirring a spoon in the mug she held. Sarah and Lucy sat on the sofa scrolling on their phone. When I entered the apartment, their faces abruptly turned to me. However, the confusion in my head, with what had just happened, was threatening to burst out any second. And it did. I remember sliding my back down the door, I had just entered the apartment through and bursting into tears. I saw the three concerned faces rushing towards me. All I was able to whimper in between the hiccups was, “Help me, please help me, I'm not okay.” The girls and I sat in front of the door for four hours that night. During that time, I told them everything from the past. How Brian and I had known each other since childhood. Not just known, I'd had a massive crush on Brian. About his breakup with Lyla. The agreement we had formed and

Steph's PovI groaned, throwing my head back onto the couch, my fingers gripping the fabric in frustration as Stella, Sarah, and Lucy practically vibrated with excitement in front of me. Their eyes sparkled with anticipation, their energy so palpable it was exhausting just to witness. They were relentless, like a pack of wolves circling their prey—except this time, I was the unlucky target."C'mon, Steph!" Sarah chirped, nudging my arm like an impatient child. "It's the weekend! No classes, no clinicals, no basketball game for you to use as an excuse to avoid fun. This is the perfect time to let loose!"I let out a tired breath, already shaking my head, but before I could utter a single word, Stella was on me."And don't even think about saying you just want to rest." She pointed a perfectly manicured finger at me, her brown eyes narrowing in warning. "You've been holed up like a damn hermit for weeks now. We barely see you outside of class! It’s actually concerning at this point."I

Brian's pov The rhythmic pounding of the punching bag echoed through my private gym, my muscles burning with exertion, sweat dripping down my back. Each punch was calculated, powerful, precise. I had worked for this—bled for this. Three years of relentless training, of pushing past my limits, of rising through the ranks of the national leagues, and now, finally, I was standing on the brink of something bigger. Months from now, I’d be making my debut in the international basketball scene, the very dream I had envisioned when I first stepped onto the court. But none of it—none of the wealth, the fame, the power—mattered as much as her. Steph. I threw another punch, the force of it rattling the chains of the bag. She was the reason I had pushed so hard. The reason I had refused to settle, refused to be just another name in a long list of forgotten athletes. I had built myself into something untouchable, someone no one could ignore. Not even her. The kiss in the car was proof

Brian's pov I barely heard the music anymore. The pounding bass, the buzz of conversation, the gasps from the onlookers—it all faded into the background. My pulse roared in my ears, my fists still clenched as I glared down at Beck’s sorry ass on the floor.But then—"Brian! What the hell is wrong with you?"Her voice sliced through the haze of rage, sharp and furious.Steph.Before I could turn, she shoved me, hard, right in the chest. I barely moved, but the force of her anger hit me harder than any punch ever could.My gaze snapped to hers, blazing, breathing heavy. I was still wired, still seeing red, but the fire in her eyes wasn’t what I expected.It wasn’t just anger.It was hurt."What’s wrong with me?" I spat, voice low, venomous. "What the fuck are you doing letting random guys put their hands on you?""Excuse me?" She scoffed, her chest rising and falling, her whole body trembling with rage. "I can dance with whoever the hell I want! And he's not a random guy! He's my fucki

Steph’s POV I struggled against Brian’s grip, my breathing uneven, my heart pounding. His words clawed at my insides, reopening wounds I had spent years trying to seal shut. I shoved at his chest, but he didn’t budge. “You don’t get to decide where I should be, Brian. You lost that right years ago.” His jaw tightened, his hands pressing against the door on either side of me. “Damn it, Steph. Stop acting like I don’t fucking care about you.” I let out a bitter laugh. “Care about me? You left me! You vanished, Brian! And now you think you can waltz back into my life and dictate what I do?” His nostrils flared. “I didn’t leave because I wanted to! You don’t know the full story!” “Then tell me, Brian! Tell me why you left me with nothing but heartbreak and silence!” He exhaled sharply, his fingers curling into fists. “I had to go, Steph. If I had a choice, I would’ve stayed.” “Bullshit!” I spat. “You had a choice. You just didn’t choose me.” His eyes darkened, a storm br

Steph’s PovMy phone buzzed in my pocket, the sudden vibration jolting me out of my spiraling thoughts.I pulled it out with trembling fingers, my breath catching when I saw the name flashing on the screen.Beck.Shit.I had almost forgotten about the meetup.Swiping at the tears on my cheeks, I inhaled sharply, willing myself to pull it together. My heart was still racing, my mind a tangled mess of emotions, but I couldn’t let Beck hear any of it.I sniffed, clearing my throat before pressing the answer button. "Yep, I’m coming—just traffic…" My voice wavered slightly, but I forced it to stay steady.There was a brief pause on the other end, and for a second, I thought maybe he heard something in my tone."Alright," Beck said finally. "You good?""Yeah," I lied, squeezing my eyes shut as I rubbed a hand over my face. "Just running a little late."Another pause."Okay. See you soon.""See you."I ended the call, exhaling slowly as I stuffed my phone back into my pocket.I had to pull

Brian's Pov No. No, this wasn’t happening.The world around me seemed to tilt as I stared at the ring on her finger. My chest tightened, my stomach churned, and a sharp, searing pain lanced through my heart.I blinked, trying to convince myself that I was seeing things wrong, that the dim lighting was playing tricks on my mind. But the silver band gleamed under the soft glow of the lamp, taunting me, solidifying the brutal truth before me.I shook my head, my throat constricting. “You’re lying.”Steph didn’t flinch. She didn’t say anything at all. She just stood there, her expression unreadable, her silence cutting deeper than any words ever could.I took a shaky step forward, my hands clenching at my sides. “This—this is just another way to push me away, right?” My voice wavered, desperation leaking into my words. “You can take it out on me. Yell at me. Hate me. Hell, even hit me if it makes you feel better. But don’t do this, Steph. Please.”Still, she said nothing.A ragged breath

Brother's Best Friend Loves Me Not 63. Not Ready
Steph's Pov The previous week had been quite eventful, and now that things had settled down, Simon had left, the volunteer program had ended I was ready to settle down and get back into by routine and study. Studying came like second nature to me. I felt most relaxed and like myself when I studied. I slicked back my hair into a ponytail, pulled on a flannel shirt to class today. The day flew by, and in just one day I had a load of five different assignments to be submitted just this week. I sat at the cafeteria working on some practice questions while the girls went to grab some food. “D'you want something Steffie Bear?” Stella asked. “Yes please a glazed doughnut and some cold coffee would be great.” I returned back to my practice questions immediately, if I needed to stay on top of things, I couldn't afford to waste even a single moment. “Well hello there, with your nose in a book.” I heard a familiar voice and smiled. It
Brother's Best Friend Loves Me Not 62. The Treat
Steph's Pov “Order away friends, this broke friend of yours brought you to a place that serves delicious meals at cheap prices, so order away, it's my treat.” I had brought Simon, Rita and the girls to Mr Burger, a local fast food restaurant. The girls and I would often come to this place, to celebrate our short wins like, acing Mitchell's quizes, which to be fair weren't that small of a quest. As I placed the order, the girls took Rita, towards the photo booth, to take some cute pictures. “Hey, can we talk?” I heard Simon ask. Uh oh, here we go again. Whenever Simon asked me, before actually asking the question, it always meant trouble. It meant one of us was going to get mad at the other and the day would be ruined. And I didn't want today to be ruined, because it was our last day together. Last family time, until I don't know when we'll get to see each other again like this. I took in a deep breath and braced myself. It's ok Steph, we'll try to remain as calm a
Brother's Best Friend Loves Me Not 61. The Final Match
Steph's Pov The day of the final match rolled in. I couldn't believe this league was coming to an end. As much of a relief as it was, I probably wouldn't have excuses to stick by Brian anymore. Coincidentally, the final match was between Omega and Inferno. Yet again I did not know which team to root for. All I could do was pray no one got severely injured, although that sounded very hard considering that it was the last day. They'd probably plot on giving their lives up but not losing. As Omega's nurse I had checked each one of them thoroughly, to make sure they were fit enough to live up to their potential today. I had checked their vital signs, evaluated theiruacles, joints and ligaments for any signs of strains, sprains or injury. Not only that, the night before the match I had shown up at Simon's hotel door too, to inspect him. I dropped pain relievers, anti-inflammatory medicines and warm compresses at his place, and made him stretch right in front of
Brother's Best Friend Loves Me Not 60. The Gift
Steph's Pov I slowly tugged on the golden ribbon of the box to untangle the gift wrap. I found a black velvet box inside. I looked at Brian, unsure, but his eyes encouraged me to open the box. I took in a deep breath and slowly opened the box, as my curiosity piqued. It revealed a beautiful silver necklace with a small, delicate pendant."I wanted to get you something special," Brian said, his voice filled with emotion. "Something that would remind you of...of what we shared.”I narrowed my eyes as confusion etched onto my face. "What do you mean?”Brian scooted closer taking my hand in his, "I went back to the hospital, Steph. I asked them if they still had the records from...from when you were expecting.” The second, he said it, the necklace began to feel very heavy in my hands. Tears began to well up in my eyes, falling into the necklace. "Why would you do that?" I whispered."Because I wanted to honor what we had," Brian replied, his voice cracking. "I wanted to h
Brother's Best Friend Loves Me Not 59. The Birthday
Steph's Pov “Steffie Bear, you still have time to inform me, if you want something in particular for your twenty-second birthday.” Lucy hugged me and asked while rocking me. “Luce, I swear I hate this name so much and second, no I promise, I do not want anything for my birthday, I don't want y'all, wasting your time, worrying about my birthday gift. We have RN’s to prepare for and hospital duties to perform.” I said to all three of them. As soon as September had rolled in, I knew they were up to something. My birthday was in the second week of September but we also had exams in the first week of December. “Jesus, grandma, live a little, you're turning twenty two, it's supposed to be young and fun.” Sarah said. I wanted to. I wanted to live and enjoy life, but honestly, I had lost the will, I’d busied myself enough to get through the daily mandatory chores, without overthinking. Besides, I knew the girls wouldn't let me sit quietly in the apartm
Brother's Best Friend Loves Me Not 58. The Store Room
Steph's Pov I rushed down the hospital corridor, a stack of files clutched tightly in my arms. As a nurse, I was no stranger to the chaos of hospital life, but today felt particularly hectic. I had stayed up all night preparing for the Registered Nurse exam and had rushed to the hospital for my long shift on the ward. All night I had been running around, doing errands for the senior nurses, bringing food for them. Then I was also asked to stay up at night and keep an eye for them while they went to bed at eleven and woke up at six in the morning. So, I was looking forward to handing the stack of files at the nursing desk and taking a well deserved break when I felt a sudden pull, and before I knew it, I was being dragged into the storage room. The door slammed shut behind me, and I found myself face to face with the last person I expected to see – Brian. My heart skipped a beat as I stared at him, my mind racing as he held me in his arms. What was h
Brother's Best Friend Loves Me Not 57. Decisions
Steph's Pov I pull my hand away from his. It burns where his hand had been. However, we're still sitting quite close to each other on the couch, so close that our knees are touching. “Is there no way for me to fix this?” he says, as his eyebrows scrunch up. I can tell he's trying to stop himself from crying and my heart goes out to him. I wipe his eyes with my thumb, shaking my head. I wish I could answer his question, but neither do I have the answer, nor do I have any energy left in me. I watch him run his long fingers through his hair, in agitation. He then picks up the bottle of alcohol from the centre table and takes another swig from it. How has he not passed out from so much alcohol, I think to myself. A searing pain rushes to my head, maybe I could do with a little alcohol too. So I take, the bottle from his hand and put my mouth to it. When he sees me, he tries to pull it away from me. “So, you're the only one who can get drunk?” I ask him and he slowly
Brother's Best Friend Loves Me Not 56. The Emergency
I call for an Uber and rush outside, my phone vibrates against my palm, notifying me of a text. It's from Kevin, Brian's team mate. I didn't know what exactly was happening, but Kevin had begged me to hurry up and come to the texted address, as Brian really wasn't okay. I kept hearing sounds of things breaking in the background. At first, I was afraid Kevin was hurt, but he had assured me that was not the case. 786, Oaks street. The text read. I immediately entered the address on Google maps, it said, it was a ten minute drive. I explained the address to the driver. My hands were shivering slightly with all the panic. I hoped Brian was okay. He had always managed to hurt me, but my heart still couldn't bear seeing him in pain. I had received two texts from Beck too. Please keep me updated And if you need any help, do not hesitate before calling me Steph.He'd called me Steph, not Hudson. That showed how concerned he was. Honestly I didn't like leavin
Brother's Best Friend Loves Me Not 55. At Your Service
Steph's POV I walked out of my dorm building, taking determined steps towards my Uber ride that I had called for. The clickety-clack of my heels, added to my confidence, which I was very much in need of today. I had woken up early today, meditated and convinced myself that this was going to be easy. At the back of my head, I knew, even if it wasn't easy it had to be done. My Uber ride stopped in front of a brown, ruggedy stoned building. I took in a deep breath and got out. Beck’s father asked him to attend court cases with him in the afternoon to help him. We had planned to sneak out together, the second the trial ended. Beck needed an escape from his tyrannical father, and I needed a favour from Beck, a huge one too. I walked inside the trial room and quietly found a seat for myself in the fourth row. Beck sat next to his very serious and stern looking father in the first row. Beck looked really attractive in his formal attire, taking down notes att
