I didn’t hear from Jake after that and blocked his number the second I remembered to make sure he never had the chance. If he was smart, he wouldn’t attempt to try and reach out to me or ever show his face before me at future games. I knew there was one more game before the winter break between San Marco and Jacksonville State, maybe that would be the one game I was ‘sick’ for.

I had never missed a single day in high school before, whether it was classes or after-school activities, but I was more than willing to say to hell with all of that to avoid this man.

Even though he didn’t go to our school, the past couple of weeks that led up to the next game I was practically guarded at all corners of campus. Everywhere I went, I spotted one or more of the guys, whereas before I had barely seen them in the halls or anywhere near my other classes.

Aiden was also spending a lot more time with me, and I wasn’t sure if it was genuine, or out of guilt and protection. It was confusing me even more

    “Well, with Leah here, the teams are uneven now,” Carter said, but Noah shook his head after counting everyone.“If we split into groups of 5, the teams will be even again.”We then split into two groups of 5 and I had no say over who went where. Noah seemed adamant about keeping me on his team, which meant Ryan joined their group with Leah and Carter, and I got the twins, Isabelle and Noah.“Oh yay, we’re on the same team,” Leah said and threw herself at Aiden.He smiled down at her and it tore at my heart. I don’t know what compelled me to speak after that. “I hope you can keep up.” I had meant for it to come off as a joke, but my tone was too serious.Aiden frowned but thankfully Leah brushed it off like it was nothing and turned her attention back to Aiden. We reset our boards and started our games, but I couldn’t help noticing how much of a distraction and poor player Leah was.I could tell it was taking everything in my brother not to freak out or scold her every time she rolled

    **WARNING. This chapter contains sexual content not suitable for readers under 18. Readers' discretion is advised.** ~*~ It was incredibly awkward going back inside the bowling alley to tell everyone that we were ready to go home. Avery was still pissed off from losing so many games in a row he hardly paid attention, so we rushed to get a cab before he clued in or before anyone else decided to leave with us. Isabelle gave me a secret thumbs up as I grabbed my jacket and walked casually out of the building with Aiden. It wasn’t until we were out of view by his truck that he swept me into his arms and kissed me. “You have no idea how long I’ve wanted to do that,” he whispered against my lips. “What took you so long?” He smirked. “Your brother.” Oh, yes. That was still a factor we needed to consider, but I was too drunk on his touch and kisses to care at the moment. The cab showed up quickly and we hopped in, our lips locked until we got back to the frat house. We stumbled into t

    Over the next week after that fateful night, Aiden and I did our best to keep our relationship a secret, but in the early stages of a relationship, it was impossible to stay away from each other. When we weren’t hanging out at the frat house or secretly hooking up in my dorm room, we were texting each other constantly. We had even gone as far as to share a few photos when one couldn’t handle not seeing the other. This was something I had never done before but the thrill of it was exciting, and I trusted Aiden enough to feel comfortable with the idea. Besides, having hot as fuck photos like that to look back on was mouthwatering and a great mood booster. That didn’t take away the anxiety of knowing someone could get a hold of them, or I could accidentally send one to my brother instead of Aiden, the terrible possibilities are endless. But the responses I got in return were more than worth it. Never had I felt more attractive and wanted before, and it wasn’t just physical. Aiden had a

    “Aiden, what the fuck? Stop, man!” Avery and Carter rushed out and tried to pull the two away from each other, but Aiden was too far gone. He cut free of Avery’s grasp and went at Noah once more, another swift right-hand hook to the jaw. I rushed up and grabbed his arm. “What are you doing?” I asked in a low voice. “I could ask you the same thing?” he growled and turned back to Noah. “Who the fuck do you think you’re trying to lock lips with? What the hell is wrong with you, you of all people?” “I-I’m sorry, man,” he muttered through a busted lip, his eye had already started to shut and turn purple. But it was too late, and my brother had already heard what Aiden said. “Wait…you tried to kiss my sister?” It was Avery’s turn to lose control, but at this point, a few other partygoers had shown up to the scene and broke up the fight. “Everyone, please, stop!” I screamed and stood in the middle of everyone. “Avery, Aiden, go the fuck upstairs.” I turned to Noah and narrowed my eyes,

    After the talk with my brother, I returned to Aiden’s room. “So, my brother found out about Jake and the party,” I said and tossed myself on the bed. His eyes went wide. “I swear to God, I didn’t say a word.” “No, I know. But you’ll be happy to know he has been suspended for the rest of the semester, you won’t have to worry about him on the field for now, at least.” He grinned. “That also means I don’t have to worry about him ever coming near you again.” He crawled on top of me and pinned my wrists to the bed above my head. “I’ve been waiting all night to do this.” The kiss started slow but quickly heated up when he slipped his tongue into my mouth, and it became a battle of the spit. His hands slid under my shirt and teased the hem of my bra before it was ripped over my head, my pants followed not long after. His expert hands explored every inch of my body and lit every particle of skin ablaze until I was a sweaty hot mess against the sheets. I was panting like a dog and writhi

    “There is no use denying it, we’ve been watching the both of you for a while now,” Kendra smirked. “Yeah, and it’s obvious you guys have been secretly hooking up for weeks now.” I scoffed. “Okay, it hasn’t been for weeks.” They gasped. ‘Oh, shit.’ “So, you guys are dating?” they asked. There was no point in denying it after my blunder, so I spilled the beans after I made them promise they wouldn’t breathe a word to anyone, ever. If word got to my brother, it would be the death of us both. “Wow, that is ultra adorable,” Kendra squealed. “Yeah, you guys are living out a fairytale,” Kinsley added. I rolled my eyes but felt my cheeks blush. “Whatever, now that you know you can never repeat anything spoken in this room. I’ll be killed if Avery finds out.” “Or if Leah Palmer does.” I frowned. “Is she still going after Aiden? Were they ever actually dating?” “Wouldn’t you know?” Kinsley asked. I was too afraid of that answer, so I avoided asking him. “Regardless, nothing is hap

    I shrugged. “If you say so. I’ll see you there.” I closed my locker with my clothes and walked out the door, not bothering to change anymore and left with my cheer uniform still on. As soon as I was out of distance from the changing rooms, I called Aiden and breathed a sigh of relief when he picked up right away. “Hey, are you almost ready?” he asked. “So, you are still picking me up?” I could almost hear his confusion. “Of course, why wouldn’t I be?” “I’ll tell you later, I’m heading back to the dorms now, I’ll text you when I’m ready.” I groaned after I got off the phone. Why did this girl have to cause so much drama over one guy? I had gone to my own extents in the past to get Aiden to notice me, but I would never blatantly lie about being with someone who barely gave me the time of day. That was asking for that relationship to fail before it even began, but she was going to find out the hard way when I showed up with Aiden at the party. At the same time, I was getting a ba

    I pursed my lips as Leah went white in the face. “How much of that did you hear?” I asked him. He scoffed; his words and glare directed at Leah. “I heard enough.” “Well, then I’ll leave the both of you to it,” I said and walked back into the house. I could feel the nervous energy from Leah even after I closed the door and couldn’t help but laugh a little before I went back to join the guys at Mario Kart. I kept my eye on the back door and made sure Leah didn’t try anything weird as Noah did, but they stood at a distance and talked for a long time, there wasn’t any yelling even. I looked away again to zone into the game and went I looked back after; they were both gone. “I’ll be right back,” I said and bumped Carter. “We won’t wait for you!” he called back, and I just flipped him the bird. I searched the house for either Aiden or Leah but couldn’t find either of them downstairs. My heart started to pound, and I tried my best to keep my thoughts from thinking the worst case until

    1 Year Later... Day of the Wedding Today was the day, all my dreams were coming true. I was about to marry my best friend and the love of my life. We had been through so much together in life, from growing up with each other to all the secrecy and suffering that finally led us to this day. I was remembering the day he proposed to me while I gazed at myself in the floor-length mirror in the whitest gown, it was almost blinding. I laughed several times when I saw how white it was, knowing that I was the furthest thing from 'pure' at that moment, especially with the bedroom activities Aiden and I had finally got up to once we rekindled 3 years ago. The door burst open and the twins rushed in, dressed perfectly and looking like angels in their bridesmaids' dresses. "We got it," Kendra said. "Finally," Kinsley grumbled and held up my veil. "Jeez, what took them so long with it? It's such a simple design." I laid out the veil and looked at the large Dallas Cowboys star stitched into

    2 Years Later… “Go, San Marco, Go!” I cheered as loud as I could, but I could feel my voice becoming hoarse. This was the last game of the semester, and then I was off to live the dream. What dream was that? I had no idea. It had been 2 years since Aiden, and I resolved our differences and had been the greatest ever since. He finished his secondary schooling and was drafted into the junior league football team right away. This year was his first year as the draft pick and I wanted to get on the same cheer team as his team. But the chances of that were one in a million. It was my last year and not a single scout had noticed me, even as the cheer captain. Aiden kept reassuring me that it would happen, I just had to keep being the best that I was. But the past year had been draining to me and it felt like it was all for nothing. If I wasn’t scouted, the next best option would be to interview for different teams, but that was another long road of rejection. I didn’t think my little h

    “I’m sorry to suddenly bring you here, Miss Parks,” the Dean said. I was sitting in his rather small office in an uncomfortable leather chair and wondered what in the hell I did to get called to his office. “It was brought to my attention over the Winter Break that there has been some harassment and bullying within the cheer squad. Today, we are putting an end to that, starting with the suspension of Leah Palmer and dismissal of her captain position. Now, I understand that this position is something that is agreed upon by the members, but with one semester left of the school season, I believe your team is in desperate need of a captain.” My blood froze over in my veins. “Are you asking me to be cheer captain?” What was he talking about harassment and bullying? Sure, she was unbearable to work under, but Leah never really bullied anyone to the extent of being suspended. What the hell was going on? Was he really not going to tell me anything? I wondered, but there was no use asking

    The entire Christmas break, I did nothing but mope around the house. I eventually talked with Avery and told him that Aiden and I got into a huge fight over Leah, that his dating her has been causing issues for our cheer squad and the fight was big enough to cause a falling out between us, but I wanted to reassure him that it shouldn’t affect his relationship with Aiden. It was more time for me to branch off from the two of them. They were always my only friends when I was growing up, but they both didn’t have much longer left of school and they would be going off to start their football careers. I still had 2 and a half years left, I needed to make my own circle of friends and rediscover who I really was, whoever that was outside of my brother and his best friend. I knew there was a girly side of me that I had always wanted to tap into, and now was the chance since I was no longer surrounded by dudes all the time. I tried over the winter break to experiment with my style and get ri

    I laid in bed, hung over to shit, and once more regretted my life choices. My phone had been blowing up with messages and calls from Leah, but I ignored every single one of them. I did what she had asked of me at the end of the game. She promised she wouldn’t leak the photos if we acted like a couple, and she was my celebratory kiss if we won the game. It had always been my plan since the day Rylee and I confirmed our feelings for each other, that I would run to her and kiss her when we won the championship game, or even if we didn’t. I wanted to tell the world that we were together, I had already worked on my speech to Avery in hopes that he would’ve understood. But it was all tossed out the window thanks to my dumb ass. I never put a passcode on my phone because I always forgot it when I was drunk, and recently that was quite often. Thanks to that, it was easy for Leah to get to my phone whenever I left it out. We had to leave our phones in the locker phone and I remembered the d

    I knew it was futile to chase after him, and I was too numb to do that anyway. I stayed in the boys' changing room for what felt like hours and sobbed to myself until Isabelle eventually found me. She said the twins never saw me come back out of the locker room before they went back to their dorm. She managed to get me out of the room and back to our own dorms, but I was completely numb and was in disbelief for hours after. Everything happened so fast, I had no idea what to do. One side of me wanted to run to him and demand a real answer as to what was going on, while the other side of me was too shocked to do anything at all. “Rylee, what happened? You gotta talk to me, babe.” Isabelle tried her best to get me to talk but I just didn’t feel like speaking about it yet. If I spoke about it out loud, it would make it all the more real. She sighed in frustration. “I’m calling Aiden.” This snapped me out of it. “No, don’t!” “I knew it, it has something to do with him. What is it? Spi
