2024-10-29 19:42:56DYLAN POV
For three days I have watched, little miss no name. And for three days the only times she has ever looked unhappy was when her eyes met mine.
She is literally always smiling. She is constantly consoling or giving advice to her little friend group. And my annoying little brother is always close to her looking proud. I hate comparing her to the sluts I sit with.
The girls at my lunch table do nothing but whine. It never annoyed me before but now..... my teeth grit everytime one of them opens their mouth. Shopping. Hair. Makeup. Guys. Parties. Nothing beneficial is ever said. And the guys aren't any better. Bradley open degrades Cassie, who is in love with him. Eric just talks about scoring which breaks little Jasmine's heart and makes her wear more makeup everyday. And Zane, well the guy is flipping out because he thinks he knocked someone up.
I like feeling cool. I like that everyone in th

Hailey POV I bite my nails and twirl my hair in anxiety. Curt has been trying to calm me all morning but it isn't working. Waiting for Marla is killing me. I have to warn her about her secret being out and apologize for telling Captian Douche. Finally when my nails have been bitten down so far they hurt, she walks up. Curt scurried away and I take a deep breathe. "Marla I need to talk to you," I whisper at her puzzled face. "Okay," Marla says acting like I am creeping her out. I grab her hand and tow her to the restroom. I head to the back wall while checking the stalls. I sigh when I find the room to be empty. "Hailey, whats wrong," she asks sounding nervous. "Yesterday Dylan came over to our table at lunch. He asked if I had seen you, I said yes but you had to leave due to an emergency. My face must have shown I was uneasy because he automatically made a joke about you. He guessed correctly on why you went home and I got upset. I told him it was a normal bodil

DYLAN POVI grunt as I take yet another hit from a defense lineman. My body is riddled with sore spots and ripening bruises. Apparently, my teammates were upset about my absence as well because no one is blocking for me. It's like they are purposefully leaving holes for our defense team to come in and cream me.Finally after 55 minutes of torture, we are released to the showers. I watch Colt as he heads into the JV locker room. He will be riding with me since I was able to practice today. I wonder what he is going to say about lunch..Dad has been picking him up all week, which means he knows I wasn't at practice. Surprisingly he hasn't brought it up. Sometimes it seems like my dad has just given up on disciplining me. He never looks at me like he does my brothers anymore. Not since he found a pair of girls underwear in BB.That morning he had slammed my bedroom door open looking like he was going to completely lose it. Instead he had thrown t

HAILEY POV I watch Curt all through algebra. I want to ask what all happened with his brother on Sunday, but I feel like I am being nosy. Curt isn't being his usual self which tells me whatever went down after the parking lot wasn't good. When the bell rings I move to his side in silence. I know, he knows that I am curious, so I will wait. He will spill soon. We meet Leena and Colt in the next hall over. My eyes meet Colt's and I see the same energy Curt is giving off. They are sad. I'm curious who the saddness is for. Maybe their mom.******** I pick at my pepperoni pizza as we all sit quietly. Marla, Mark, and Shay weren't there so I am guessing they are feeding off our energy. Across the cafeteria Captian Douche Dylan is eating slowly and quietly. His table is shooting him questioning looks but it seems like he is ignoring them. Finally I can't take anymore. "So what happened," I

DYLAN POV The past three weeks have been a blur. The running, the practices, the games, and actually doing my class work is keeping me hell-a busy. Dad still hasn't spoken to me but since I have to go over what I learn with Granddad and Grammy, I pay attention in his youth class. The information is surprisingly relatable. The first few times I completed dad's handouts, he was shocked. I was hoping he would talk to me then but I think he is waiting for me to say something. Last Sunday I sat next to my mom during sermon. She hadn't spoken to me but she had held my hand, which I will take. I miss her. I miss her pet names and her breakfasts. I even miss my brothers. Hailey and Curt have both been polite in art, which again, I will take it. It's much better then looks of disgust and pure loathing. And a couple of the guys on the football team are my new lunch buddies. Graham and Luke, the guys I apologized to. And they are both

HAILEY POVI grin internally as I watch Captian Douche appear bashful. His ears are slightly red from me saying I would try to attend his game. Over the past few weeks there has been a huge change in Dylan. He sits with different people at lunch, he doesn't leave lunch early with random girls, he comes to youth class, I even saw him sitting with his family during sermon, and he comes to art everyday.I don't know what his grandparents are feeding him but they need to keep at it. Curt and Colt have been watching him like hawks, reporting all his changes to his parents. I smile at his ignorance, I have attended all his games. Curt always picks Leena and I up and drops us off. For some reason I am starting to look at the burly ex badboy in a new light.Everytime I see him, I catch him looking at me. Typically with innocent eyes but sometimes they have a flicker of lust in them. Which to be honest, scares and excites me. I don't have any intention of bei

DYLAN POV "Shit shit shit.......," I grumble under my breathe as the trainer tries to stretch me out. He then wraps my inner thigh and places a huge bag of ice. "Well," I ask glad that the torture has ended. "My guess is a pulled groin. You need to go see your doctor and get it checked. You will probably be sitting out the next few games, but no permanent damage," Trainer Cody says patting my shoulder. I nod. And look back to the field. My team needs me, our second string runner isn't that great. I groan in annoyance, alerting the team to my aggravation. I lay back flat on the blue mat. Just when we were getting a groove, I had to go get hurt. "Hey man. We won't be without you for long, don't worry. Andy's arm is good, we will just switch to a passing offense," Luke says coming up to pat my shoulder. "I'm just bummed, man" I grumble not really wanting the encouragement.

DYLAN POVWorry over hiding my boner vanishes as Hailey makes a mad dash away from the car. I frown slightly at her actions. Is it that horrible being next to me? She is dragging Leena with her which makes Curt frown as well.I chuckle slightly. Aren't we a pair of smitten puppies. I can't believe I haven't noticed how my brother looks at the little sophomore until now. She is definitely the one for him. Curt is just like dad. He has chosen his life partner, I would bet BB."What did you say to Hailey," Curt says slinging his bag over his shoulder as we all make our way after the speed walking girls."In the car there was food on her shirt. We had an awkward moment," I say with a shrug.My younger brothers glance at me before making eye contact in a meaningful way."What," I ask glancing between them.As usual Curt just ignores my question but Colt jumps to explain."Well we have notice

DYLAN POV A junior trainer stretches my pulled muscle on the sidelines of the field as my brain racks through the reasons why Marla would assualt Hailey for the thousandth time. The best I conclude is she is behaving like the girls I used to sit with. She wants me, was using the guy I saw at lunch, and had noticed my interest in Hailey. I guess my turn down yesterday was the final straw. I groan and throw my arm over my eyes. The junior trainer immediately apologies thinking he was the reason behind my misery. I just keep my mouth shut. I look over at the field. I wish I was taking hits. At least that way I could feel like I was receiving punishment for my involved in Hailey's torture. It's stupid to have to come to practice while injured but I get it. I'm here in support of the team plus this way I can provide input and hear any changes. Luke and Graham have already come over twice during water breaks t

IAN POV. (5 yrs later) "Gayle, let me hold her," Alastair playfully grunts before stealing our new daughter from her grandmother. Chloe rolls her eyes at the exchange, but even though the air is lighthearted and filled with love, I can't relax. Ever since we adopted Li Mei from China, I have been a nervous wreck. Even though I know, she is safe with her grandparents; I can't help but picture them accidentally dropping her....or squeezing her too tight. I mean, Alastair is a huge man. "Love, come sit down. Mei is fine," Chloe whispers as she passes me to sit on the couch. I just shake my head, and she sighs. Chloe and I tried for a baby for two years before we discovered she couldn't get pregnant. And ever since that discovery, I have been a little bit of a mess. I have always wanted a family, a child of my own...Now that I have it and considering the long journey we took to get her... Nope, not calming down...

IAN POVToday is the day. I am excited but also extremely nervous. Chloe has been acting strange all week. She goes from clingy to distant constantly, and it has me worried that she knows... That she knows and doesn't want to get engaged. When I spoke to Susan about how Chloe was acting, Susan agreed. Apparently, during their workout, Chloe had drilled her about how our sessions were going. Susan felt she was digging for information on me, but she knows everything about me. We have stayed up all hours of the night talking about our thoughts. There is nothing left to learn. "Ian, I'm going to head out back to start the party set up...I know you probably won't, but if you need me, I will be in the backyard," Mom calls from down the hall, and I grin. "Okay," I reply loud enough for her to hear. My legs have gotten so strong that I don't even use the walker for short distance walks..like around

CHLOE POVI grunt as the wheels on my suitcase hit another crack in the sidewalk. Stress and irritation have my temper flaring. Every second of this trip has been terrible. From the airport to the classes, everything has been mediocre and disorganized.The only happy thought I keep focusing on is seeing Ian. I have missed him so much. Before being with him, I was used to my solitude. I was used to my quiet life filled with workouts and rehabilitation sessions. I didn't need many friends. My Bible study group and Susan were the only people I conversed with, but not now. I am so used to turning to him to share my thoughts that I spoke out loud to the air several times.My phone rings just as I get to my car, and I grin when I read the caller ID."Hey, Dad," I answer while placing my phone on my shoulder.I unlock my trunk and get my suitcase in quickly."Hello, Sweetie. How was your trip," Dad asks, and I laugh?&n

IAN POV (two months later)"I can do this. I can do this," I chant over and over in my head as I stare straight ahead. My hands are on the support bars, and my legs are underneath me, but my brain is miles, no years away.The future I want is playing over and over in my mind as I encourage myself to take my first unassisted steps. My first steps without a harness or Susan supporting some of my weight. My leg muscles are protesting, but that's expected."Come on, Ian. Walk to the walker! You can do it," Susan cheerleads, and a smile breaks across my face at my enthusiastic friend.Thank the Lord for Susan. She has been a massive factor in my progress.....and I believe she is a robot disguised as a human. I have never seen her down. I have never seen her upset or sad. Her moods range from happy to joyful to crazy excited, in that order. There is no off button when it comes to Susan. She enjoys her job and makes our sessions easy.

IAN POVChloe closes the door behind Mrs. Rivas, and I softly grab her hand as she turns back to me. So much weight has been lifted off of me, and it's all because of her."Thanks, Chloe.....I would have said no if you had told me, so thank you for making it a surprise. I still can't believe she forgives me," I say while rubbing my thumb against her baby soft hands."You're welcome... You needed the push, and the mental abuse you were raining down on yourself isn't healthy," Chloe replies as I pull her into my lap.I grin as she makes herself comfortable. I brush her hair behind her shoulders while my brain tries to process my feelings and how to say them."Chloe, I think I'm in love with you," I whisper, and she freezes."What," Chloe squeaks, and my nerves jump, but the words are already out."I'm in love with you...You are gorgeous inside and out. I can't picture my life without you in it anymore

CHLOE POV "Hello." "Hello, my name is Chloe Shaw. I am trying to reach the parents of Raymond Rivas," I reply nervously while twirling a pen at my desk. "This is his mother...What's this about," Mrs. Rivas replies. "Oh umm..hi. I was calling to speak to you about Ian Wilson. I understand if you don't want to, I just had a few questions," I quickly blurt and wait. She only takes a moment before responding. "Umm. Sure, I don't know much about him. He was on my son's football team and was the driver of the vehicle the night my son died.....I, well, he wrote me a letter after the accident," Mrs. Rivas answers hesitantly, and I smile. "I was wondering how you feel about him.....like if you are still angry or upset with him over what happened," I ask timidly."No, I wish it didn't happen. I miss my son. But I'm not upset. His lette

CHLOE POV (two months later)"Come on, Ian. You got this," Susan says from across the workout room.I look over my knee replacement patient to see what my boyfriend is having issues with, and the frustration on his face makes me want to cry. The last few weeks have been hard on him. He has made progress, but he feels as if he hasn't made enough."This is stupid! I'm never getting out of this chair," Ian yells, and even my patient looks over at him."Mr. Hughes, excuse me for a moment," I whisper, and my patient nods.Susan is rubbing her forehead as I approach, and I know the feeling she is experiencing all too well. Ian isn't an easy patient. He isn't one of our older patients who is here to help adjust after surgery. He is young and hot-headed.Sometimes he acts like a completely different person when he gets down. He is never violent towards anyone but himself, but it is still terrifying. His depression medic

IAN POVI watch Chloe's eyes widen as we listen to her father announce himself at my parent's front door."What does he want," I whisper, and Chloe shrugs as she stands to her feet.I unlock the brakes on my chair and follow her into the living room. I try to hide my surprise when I glance at Chloe's father, but I am positive he saw the slight shock on my face.The man is a massive version of his daughter. Alastair Shaw is Chloe on steroids."Dad, how did you find me here," Chloe asks as she folds her arms and tries to hide her discomfort."The Wilsons aren't that hard to find, sweetie...We need to talk, and giving the last conversation, you had with your mother it couldn't wait.........I want you to know that when you spoke to your mom, she wasn't speaking for me. She was only speaking for herself. I don't blame you for that punk kid's mistakes. There wasn't anything you could do," Chloe's dad says, and Chloe's

ALASTAIR POV ( CHLOE'S DAD) "ALASTAIR, GET DOWN HERE," Gayle screeches, and I groan externally. I throw down my golfing magazine and push my burly frame from my chair. Every year it seems as if this colossal house shrinks. The halls used to be filled with my children's laughs, but now all that echoes through the empty halls is her screams. I miss my children so much. I've never been the most emotional guy. I've never really learned how to hug and express my love, but I came from a home filled with nannies. Love and sharing love is as foreign to me as being broke. At least I won that battle with my demon-incarnated wife when she suggested it. No Nannies."What is the matter now," I mumble as I make my way into the kitchen. The one room in the entire house that we speak to each other in. I've had a separate room for years. Because while my upbringing frowns upon divorce, I st
