I 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

HAILEY POVSchool has flown by today. Only a few people have giggled at my red tinted hair, mainly the mean kids that Dylan used to sit with, but other then that everyone has been extremely caring. Curt and Colt haven't left my side which is starting to get annoying but I understand why they are playing bodyguard. My dad spoke with theirs for over an hour last night. Which is also why Dylan probably felt the need to apologize.I walk into art with a bright smile. Curt is so sweet, he is planning an extravagant birthday surprise for Leena. He wants to wow her before asking her to be his girlfriend."So what do you think? To much," Curt asks letting vulnerability etch it's way into his voice."It sounds like it might be a little over the top. Remember what Leena likes and dislikes. She hates being the main focus and she hates surprises. Try to tone it down a bit to match her personality. You are just excited and nervous right now but remem

HAILEY POV. PG 13 "Yeah, then I fell right into the pool," Shawn says finishes his story and we both laugh loudly over the sound of the last document running through the shredder. I turn off the shredder and he flattens the now empty box. I check my phone. Dad- Mr. Ryan is giving you a ride home, See you soon. Me- okay, see you soon. I put my phone back in my pocket before heading to the sitting area. Surprisingly Dylan is sitting there with a deep scowl that catches me off guard. Normally people leave their appointments with smiles. "Hey Dylan, how was your session," I ask sitting across from him "It was fine. Is my dad driving you too," Dylan asks as his eyes look behind me."Yeah my dad messaged me about it. Normally I have to wait until he gets off but I don't mind," I say getting comfy. I unzip my bag and pull out my algebra bo

HAILEY POV I have already checked my appearance three times, but for some reason I am still in the bathroom. I didn't change my routine at all or even try to dress prettier. If Dylan is going to date me, he will get the real me. Honestly, I still can't believe he asked to date me or better yet that I said yes. Warning bells haven't stopped going off since I sent the text last night. Three weeks ago I was warning another girl that dating Dylan was a mistake. A horrible mistake. I pitied the girls he used at lunch....... Oh my goodness, I grab my stomach as jealousy and fear of not comparing, wrecks havoc on my nerves. He won't be satisfying any of those carnal cravings with me. How long will he stay interest? Long enough for me to fall in love?? "Hailey, you okay in there kiddo," dad calls from the kitchen. "Yeah," I say putting my mascara away and opening the door. I need to keep my composure. I do

HAILEY POVI brush my hair and for once I leave it down. I put on one of my nicer shirts and spray on a dash of perfume before heading to the leaving room."Dad you ready," I call out knowing today might take him a little longer then usual.Today is my parents anniversary and one of the hardest days for my dad. He always puts on a brave face for me but I know he is hurting. Luckily this year it is falling on a Sunday and he can vent a little in grief class. Since mom passed before I could make any memories with her, it is hard to connect to dad's feelings sometimes.For me I am sad that I don't know or remember the woman who brought me into this world. But for dad it is more about missing someone he knew and loved with all his heart. The loss is greater for him. The class really helps us. It helps dad cope and it helps me understand what my dad is going through."Coming kiddo," dad says as he exits his bedroom with a sad smi

DYLAN POV. TWO MONTHS. LATER PG 13 "What do you two want to see," Curt asks while looking at Leena and Hailey while smiling. I squeeze Hailey's hand as she shivers slightly. Winter is definitely making it's presence known tonight. "Let's see the new minion movie," Leena squeals while bouncing on the balls of her feet. Curt looks at us for confirmation and we shrug. "Sure. Plus I don't think Leena is gonna take no for an answer," Hailey says while laughing at her friend. "Just choose so we can get inside," I say moving to stand behind Hailey. I wrap my big arms around her so she can be sheltered from the wind. "Minions, it is," Curt says taking out our combined allowance card. He pays quickly while I place kisses all over my little beauty's head. She snuggles more into my embrace and I smile. God I love this girl. Tonight is our second double date with Curt and Leena, plus my first night driving BB again. I am literally floating with untethered ha

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
