~~~Soraya~~~

We found Riley at her usual table near the back of the dining hall, tray untouched in front of her, scrolling through her phone like the entire campus wasn't currently on fire because of her.

"We need to talk," Declan said, stopping directly across from her, arms crossed.

Riley looked up slowly, one eyebrow lifting at the sight of the three of us me on crutches, Declan tense as a livewire, Caleb hovering a step behind like he was bracing for something to go sideways fast.

"Oh wow."

    ~~~Declan~~~I read the text three times before I finally set her phone down, my jaw tight enough to ache.‘Careful who you trust, Soraya. Not everyone smiling in your face wants you to make it out of this.’"You need to be careful," I said, sitting on the edge of her bed, my hand finding hers automatically. "Whoever's sending these knows exactly how to unsettle you. Don't let it get inside your head about people who've actually earned your trust.""I know," Her voice was quiet, careful in a way that told me the message had already gotten further under her skin than she wanted to admit. "I just don't know who to actually believe anymore.""Believe the people who show up," I said. "Maya flew to the hospital the second she heard. Caleb hasn't left your side in weeks. That's not nothing, Soraya. Whoever's doing this wants you isolated. Don't give them that."She nodded slowly, though I could still see the doubt sitting behind her eyes, quiet and unwelcome. I didn't push further. I'd l

She set her phone down, unbothered. "The whole squad. What'd I do this time?""Cut the act," I said, my voice sharper than I meant it to come out. "We know it's you. The account. The rumor.""What rumor?" She said eyeing me from top to bottom."Don't," My hands tightened around the crutch grips. "The photo on the account header. It's the same one you used to post constantly last year. Same angle of the rink, same everything."Something flickered across Riley's face, confusion instead of the gui

    ~~~Soraya~~~The campus felt different the next morning, and it took me half the walk to the athletic building to figure out why. It wasn't the crutches slowing me down, or the ache still radiating up through my leg with every careful step. It was the way people looked at me now. Quick glances that snapped away the second I caught them, conversations that dropped half a register whenever I got close enough to actually hear them.Declan walked beside me the whole way, his hand hovering near my elbow without actually touching me, ready to catch me if the crutches slipped on the wet pavement. He hadn't said much since we left my dorm, his jaw set in the same tight line it had held since Maya found that account the night before.Two girls near the fountain stopped talking entirely as we passed. One of them didn't quite manage to look away fast enough."Ignore it," Declan said quietly, without me having to say anything at all."I'm trying." My words came out crackedWe made it to the athlet

    ~~~Soraya~~~Physical therapy started that morning, my first real session since the surgery, and it turned out to be its own particular kind of misery. The therapist had me doing small, careful movements with my leg, nothing dramatic, but every single one of them ached in a way that made me grit my teeth and stare hard at the ceiling until it passed."You're doing great," she said, adjusting the angle of my knee slightly. "Better range of motion than I expected this early.""Feels like the opposite of great," I muttered, and she laughed, unbothered, clearly used to patients who complained through every single rep.Maya sat in the corner the entire session, scrolling through something on her phone, occasionally looking up to wince sympathetically whenever I made a particularly pained noise. Caleb showed up halfway through with coffee for both of them, setting Maya's down on the little table beside her without a word, the way he'd started doing so often now that it barely registered as a

    ~~~Soraya~~~They discharged me on a Thursday, two weeks after the fall, my leg still heavy and unfamiliar in a fresh cast, crutches propped awkwardly under my arms like foreign objects I hadn't quite learned to trust yet.Declan carried my bag out to the car himself, refusing every offer of help from Maya like it might somehow undo whatever quiet promise he'd made to himself about taking care of me properly this time. The late afternoon sun felt strange against my skin after so many days under fluorescent hospital lighting, warm and real in a way that made the whole world feel slightly unfamiliar, like I was stepping back into a life I'd left months ago instead of just under two weeks."You okay?" Declan asked, glancing over at me in the passenger seat, one hand still resting lightly on my knee, this has become so natural for him to do."I think so." I watched the hospital shrink in the side mirror as we pulled away.“It's strange. I spent so many days wanting to leave that place, and

  • 365 Days With The Hockey Player I Hate   Chapter 61 - Fourteen Days

    ~~~Soraya~~~It's been seven days since Declan's father came, and Declan hasn't left my side once.He booked a suite at the hotel two blocks from the hospital, fourteen days, paid up front, like he'd already decided before he even checked in that he wasn't going anywhere until I was steady enough to stand on my own two feet again. He shows up every morning before visiting hours technically start, some arrangement with the nurses I'm fairly sure involves an unreasonable amount of charm, and he doesn't leave until they physically make him.Today he brought coffee from the place down the street, the good kind, not the hospital sludge that's been keeping Maya alive on caffeine fumes for over a week now. He set it on my tray table and dropped into the chair beside my bed like it was the most natural thing in the world, like this had always been our routine and not something we'd rebuilt out of six weeks of silence and a hospital room full of grief."You look better today," he said, studyin
