Eli's POV

Coach Williams' office was the last place on earth I wanted to be at that moment. He was already behind his desk when I walked in, and the look on his face told me he had been sitting there working himself up to this conversation.

Williams was a broad man who had played Division I hockey in the eighties, which he liked to remind us at every given opportunity. He kept a framed photo of himself from that era on his desk, right next to the college's athletic achievement plaques. He had p

  • Best Friend’s Brother Shouldn’t Know How I Taste    86 - Parking Lot

    Eli’s POVI couldn’t just drive all the way back to the university with my head in shambles like that. I peeled out of our family driveway, the tires screaming against the asphalt, and pulled into the gravel lot of a small, quiet diner about two miles down the main road. I needed to see my sister without my father hovering over us, and I needed to know why she had been dragged into his sick game. I sat in a secluded booth in the far corner of the restaurant, my fingers tapping anxiously against the Formica table as I stared at the entrance doors.When she finally arrived per my frantic texts, her hands were shaking. The glass doors of the restaurant swung open with a dull chime, and I stood up instantly as Piper made her way through the dining room.Every step sh

  • Best Friend’s Brother Shouldn’t Know How I Taste    85 - Lies and Deceit

    Eli’s POVWhen I finally arrived home in Hudson Falls, Wisconsin, I parked my car and slammed the vehicle door shut, barely remembering to grab my keys as I sprinted up the familiar concrete driveway. My chest was pumping from the adrenaline of the three-hour drive, my knuckles white as I gripped the handle of the front door and threw it open, expecting to find a scene of total medical chaos.But I was shocked to see that Piper was doing alright.She was sitting on the couch and crocheting, curled up in the corner of the sectional under a fleece blanket, a ball of pink yarn rolling on the carpet near her slippers as her fingers worked a pair of plastic needles with total ease. There were no paramedics or oxygen tanks anywhere near her.

  • Best Friend’s Brother Shouldn’t Know How I Taste    84 - Horrible Mistake

    Kas POVThe bright afternoon sun began to dip below the horizon across the campus sidewalks as Simone and Bree waved goodbye and headed back to their dorms. The moment I was alone, the quietness around me became heavy again.A part of me felt guilty for what happened with Luca. I kept playing every single interaction we had over and over in my head, wondering if I had led Luca on, if my friendly greetings in the hallways had been taken the wrong way, or if I had missed a massive warning sign.Maybe I had somehow led him on without knowing. I needed to see him one last time all by myself to know what had really happened. I couldn’t just sit on my ass anymore, wondering about the hidden reasons behind his terrifying actions. I needed to look him in the eyes and hea

  • Best Friend’s Brother Shouldn’t Know How I Taste    83 - Vitamin D

    Kassidy's POVThe very next day, I found myself on a wooden bench on campus and watching the other students walk past, feeling like I was still completely disconnected from the regular university routine. My body was tired, but Bree and Simone had refused to let me stay locked up in my dark bedroom for another afternoon.“You need the vitamin D, Kassidy,” Bree said, leaning across the table while her tight blonde corkscrew curls bounced around her face. “Sitting in that house is only going to keep your brain foggy. Look at this shade, it’s the perfect spot.”“She’s right,” Simone added, adjusting the colorful headbands she used to keep her thick black afro out of her eyes. “We aren’t going to make you talk about the hospital or that trash bag Luca. We just want you to sit out here with us.”Simone had bought three cold cups of green tea from the campus café, and the bitter, earthy taste was actually helping to clear the dry feeling from my throat.“I’m glad you guys forced me out,” I

  • Best Friend’s Brother Shouldn’t Know How I Taste    82 - Bad News

    Eli's POVI predicted that my behaviour during the party some days ago would backfire. So, when I was called into the Coach's office after practice the next day, I went without question. I didn't even bother changing out of my practice gear, my heavy skates clacking loudly against the concrete steps as I made my way toward the athletic department.I pushed open the heavy frosted glass door of Coach's office, and the mood inside was instantly sour. Coach didn't offer me a seat. He was sitting behind his wide oak desk, his jaw set so hard the muscles in his cheeks were twitching. "Good morning, Coach." I offered a greeting regardless. "You wanted to see me?"Coach silently pushed an iPad across the polished wood until it tapped against my knuckles.I looked down—it seemed to be a paused YouTube video. I reached forward and pressed play without picking the device up. The screen showed a shaky, high-definition clip taken from a phone in the middle of the crowded hallway at that party. It

  • Best Friend’s Brother Shouldn’t Know How I Taste    81 - Over Me

    Kassidy's POVThe familiar sight of our shared house didn't feel the same when I finally walked back through the front door. The doctors had run their final tests, flushed the remaining toxins out of my blood, and signed the discharge papers, but stepping back into regular life felt strange. I was still numb to it all. I could hear the cars driving past the street outside, and I could hear my friends talking in low voices, but none of it was really registering. It felt like I was watching my own life through a thick sheet of glass. The terror of that night had faded into a dull quiet, leaving my mind blank and heavy.I was tucked into the corner of the living room sofa, buried under three thick wool blankets to keep the lingering cold out of my bones. My feet were resting comfortably on Celeste's thighs, who was rubbing my feet with slow pressure to help my circulation get back to normal. Eli was sitting on the opposite armchair, his eyes never really leaving my face as he tracked ev

  • Best Friend’s Brother Shouldn’t Know How I Taste    80 - You Found Me

    Kassidy's POVThe smell of sharp rubbing alcohol was the first thing that drifted into my senses. When I opened my eyes, I realized I was in a hospital. The ceiling above me was made of white industrial tiles, and a steady, rhythmic electronic beep hummed right next to my left ear. A thin plastic t

    Eli’s POVMy team had a match that Wednesday, two days later. The pressure had been building up all week, and the local arena was completely sold out for the mid-season tournament. I didn’t see Kassidy for a whole two days prior to the match, because I had practice and Coach had us locked in the fa

    Kassidy's POVThe shriek left my mouth before I could stop it. Wildly, I turned around on the icy sidewalk, my hands coming up to guard my face, my breath hitching in my throat as I prepared to face whoever had chased me down the dark path.But when I turned around, I saw that it was just Eli who h

    Kassidy's POVI resumed classes the next day, which was a Monday. I met Bree and Simone, who were very eager to see their results. The lecture hall was buzzing with the noise of students sliding into their wooden desks and unzipping their backpacks, but the only thing my two friends cared about was
