Chapter: I went to her again.Why? Jaxon's povI walked Layla to school, her words spilling out about visiting Aurora after classes.“How would you reach her house?” I asked, low, deliberately casual, though my tone carried authority.“I’d just board a cab,” she shrugged, eyes rolling like she didn’t care.“No,” I said, the single word clipped, final. “I’ll take you.”Her eyebrow twitched, a silent protest, but she let me lead. Good. No one got to her without me knowing. Not today. Not ever.When we reached her house, Layla moved like she owned the place, the kind of effortless ease that comes from familiarity. I followed, legs moving on their own. I didn’t know why I kept stepping closer, creeping up those stairs. Maybe curiosity. Maybe something darker. Maybe the simple truth that I had no control whenever she was around.Then I saw her. Aurora.I couldn’t help it. My eyes caught her—Aurora—slender legs stretched out, ankles crossed just so.the gentle flex as she shifted slightly—it drew my attention in ways

Chapter: Her Way Of Denial Chapter 7Aurora povI woke up feeling sick—not the kind of sick with fever and coughing…the kind that sits in your chest and churns your stomach because your brain won’t shut up.I didn’t want to go to school.I didn’t want to see Layla.And I definitely didn’t want to risk running into him.Mom walked into my room, worry creasing her face.“Darling, I wish I could stay home to watch you. I don’t want you sick, but work has been calling nonstop since morning.” Her voice almost cracked.Great. Now I had to lie better.She pulled out her phone.“I’ll just call Layla or Jaxon to help watch you—”I shot up so fast my vision shook.“Wait—NO.” I snatched the phone from her hand.Her eyes widened.“Mom, I’m fine,” I said quickly. “I just… don’t want to go to school for a few days.”I forced a shrug. “You know, because of the football team I recently joined.”Please believe me. Please.She sighed.“Ohh-kay… if you insist. But anything worse than this, you’re going strai

Chapter: Touché fight Jaxon’s POVStaring speechless at the marbled tiles of the hallway, Jaxon could still feel the sting of Aurora’s slap against his face. His hands instinctively went to his jaw, touching the spot where her nails had dug in. His eyes went flat, icy—cold enough to make anyone think he was capable of murder in that instant.He turned away, heading back to the locker room. Jefferey’s team was still buzzing with victory energy, loud and obnoxious, replaying every moment of the match as if they’d just won the World Cup. Their laughter echoed through the metal lockers—sharp, cocky, deliberately aimed to needle anyone wearing Jaxon’s team colors.“Bro, did you see the knock on Jaxon?” one of Jeff’s teammates cackled. “He fell like a fucking leaf!”More laughter exploded, bouncing off the walls.Jefferey leaned casually against a locker, smirking. “Leaf? Nah. More like a toddler learning how to walk.”Jaxon’s jaw tightened. He walked straight to his locker, trying to ignore them. But Jeff’s voi

Chapter: Intense Touch Chapter Five (5)Aurora’s POVThe reunion party was alive with chatter, laughter, and the gentle clink of cutlery and glasses. Everyone seemed so comfortable, so intertwined, like a big, perfect family—but I couldn’t relax. My eyes kept drifting to Jaxon. That damn shirtless figure, sprawled on the couch like he owned the world, stretching back my phone as if it were some fragile, meaningless object. The infuriatingly casual way he held it made me want to throw it across the room.“Why would you even grab it like you own it in the first place?” I muttered under my breath, immediately texting Layla: “Let’s go get our nails done, parents said yes!”We were practically at the glass doors when Mrs. Grayson’s voice floated from the dining area:“Amelia should come with you both, if you don’t mind.”I snapped: “No!” while Layla simultaneously said, “Yes.”I shot Layla a warning glare, girl, it’s our first outing together! She could only shrug apologetically, whispering: “I’m so

Chapter: The Reunion Chapter FourAurora — MorningIt was the weekend, and today was finally the day Mom and I would properly visit the Graysons. The first time I ever stepped into their house was because of Layla, and it barely counted—i didn’t meet her parents. Today was meant to be a full reunion.I woke up earlier than usual.The first golden rays of the Californian sun spilled through my half-open curtains, washing my room in honeyed light. The Ravenwood's breeze drifted in, soft and salty, carrying faint whispers of jasmine from the yard. It slid across my bare shoulders as I stretched, legs dangling lazily off the bed.I tumbled over my pillow, brushing a cascade of flossy chestnut waves out of my face. The tug pulled a tiny groan from my lips.“Aurora! Be ready in an hour!” Mom yelled from downstairs.My phone buzzed with a notification from the female football group chat.“Official match in one month. I expect more resilience and team spirit — Coach Ramirez.”I squealed quietly. This

Chapter: More like a SisterChapter ThreeJaxon’s POVSince I’ve known Aurora, we’ve been enemies. She’s my sister’s best friend, but to me, she’s just someone I can mess with—annoy, tease, and push buttons. It's clear how our parents put the siblings’tag on us. Because we all grew up together and our parents were best friends.When my mom told me Mrs. Smith relocated to the city with her daughter,—a long, nagging expectancy to see Aurora, to see how she’d grown into this… feminine version of herself. I laughed at the thought. I'm sure she would be no match with all the girls I've slept with. Someway, somehow, I want to see how far she'd have become.My friends and I had an outing later that night. I stayed home to rest especially before Cole would pick me up with his car.The door bell rang severally. getting to the porch, There she was. The ugly “Aurora Smith” My “sexy self” played more than usual that day, and honestly? I had fun.Jaxon’s FlashbackShe was ten.I was thirteen.And for some stupid reason I
