I quietly slid my plate as far away from me as the plastic table would allow. Picking up my orange juice, I took a long, slow sip, keeping the plastic straw clamped firmly between my lips just to hide how badly my hands were shaking.Trying to keep my voice completely flat, I asked, “What do you mean he gave you the green light?”Jessica didn't need to be asked twice.

LoriI spent the rest of the afternoon buried under my covers, completely numb. My mom's devastating news about the divorce felt like the final blow. My life had already been tilting dangerously out of balance. But today, the entire foundation finally crumbled to pieces.Ann and Jessica could obviously tell something was wrong. They had cut their endless debate about whether Lucas liked Jessica short the second they saw my face, but I didn't have the energy to explain. I just blamed it on family drama, retreated to my bedroom, and shut the door firmly behind me.I cried until my eyes burned and there were simply no tears left to cry.It was another call from my mom later that evening that finally jarred me awake. It was only then that I remembered she had asked me to meet her in town for dinner. Pushing through the exhausting ache in my chest, I threw on the most casual outfit I could find and focused entirely on keeping my stride even, trying desperately not to limp as I walked out

LoriI quietly slid my plate as far away from me as the plastic table would allow. Picking up my orange juice, I took a long, slow sip, keeping the plastic straw clamped firmly between my lips just to hide how badly my hands were shaking.Trying to keep my voice completely flat, I asked, “What do you mean he gave you the green light?”Jessica didn't need to be asked twice. She leaned in and spilled everything. She told us how Lucas had seemed distant and dismissive at first, but then completely doubled down on the charm out of nowhere. And then, she dropped the bomb: he had actually asked her what color panties she was wearing.“He asked you about your panties?” Ann practically shrieked.A group of guys at the table right across from us instantly stopped talking and threw awkward, smirking glances in our direction.“Ann, shut up! Keep your voice down,” Jessica hissed, throwing a nervous look around the caf

LoriI tried to wipe the tears from my face before Ann could walk into our dorm room, but I was already too late. She caught me dead in the act, my sleeve still pressing against my wet eyes.She quickly crossed the room and sat down right beside me on the mattress, wrapping a comforting arm around my shoulders. “Oh, Lor... what’s wrong? Don’t tell me you’re still spiraling over the cheerleading stuff?”I looked down at my palms, my vision blurring again. No matter how many pep talks I got from my roommates turned best-friends, there was no way I was getting over losing my spot on the squad anytime soon. It had only been a few days since I got discharged from the hospital, and every single time I thought about it, it felt like someone was violently twisting a knife directly into my chest.Ann took my shaking hands in hers and gave them a gentle squeeze. “How about we try to distract you with something else today? We can go see a

LucasI pictured my head coach’s face on the leather surface of the heavy bag, throwing hard, vicious combinations until my knuckles throbbed beneath the tape. The bastard had completely rejected my appeal this morning. To make things worse, he decided my punishment wasn’t enough. He added an extra bench day, making it two days of watching my team from the stands.It was a total disaster for my draft stock. If I couldn't be on the ice to burn off the rage, the walls inside my own head started closing in on me. I didn’t care about wiping off the sweat that was dripping down my jaw and had completely soaked my shirt. I kept hammering the bag until my lungs burned and my chest tightened so hard I could barely catch a breath. Finally, I tore my gloves off, grabbed my water bottle, and aggressively chugged the entire thing in a few heavy swallows. A high pitched giggle fluttered beside me. I turned, only to

LoriI saw Jessica and Ann run into the room through a terrifying blur of spots and watering eyes.They threw themselves onto Travis, screaming and ripping at his arms with everything they had. They pulled and clawed at his wrists until his fingers finally snapped away from my skin. The moment the pressure released, I slumped back against the pillows, coughing so violently that my chest burned. I couldn't breathe. I genuinely thought I was going to pass out right there.“What the hell is wrong with you?” Jessica shrieked, her face pale, her eyes wide with absolute shock.“Were you seriously trying to strangle her?” Ann yelled, stepping between Travis and my bed.“This is absolutely none of your business, you bitches!” Travis roared, his face twisted into an ugly, sweaty mask. He took a menacing step toward them, completely unhinged. “Leave me the hell alone with my girl. We aren't done talking.”I kept my hands pressed flat against my throat, trying desperately to force air back int

LoriThe fake smile completely slipped off my face the exact second the hospital door swung open.Ann and Jessica had called me last night, crying and apologizing over the phone for not making it to the hospital sooner. They had promised they would be here first thing in the morning. Because of that, I had spent the last twenty minutes practicing my brightest, most carefree smile in the reflection of my phone screen. I wanted to prove to them that I was totally fine. I absolutely hated it when Jessica worried too much about me.But it wasn't my best friends who walked through the door.It was Travis. He was holding a massive bouquet of red roses, looking around the room with a nervous, guilty squint.“What the hell are you doing here?” I snapped, the words cutting through the quiet room like ice.“Cliché,” he muttered, trying to sound casual as he stepped forward and set the flowers down on the plastic rolling table near my bed. “Honestly, Lori, I was expecting you to say exactly that

Lori’s POV My eyes snapped shut. I couldn't tell them about Lucas. Not yet. I couldn't even process it myself."Travis cheated on me," I croaked. My voice sounded raw, completely ruined. "With Elena. On my freaking bed."Jessica’s jaw dropped. She gasped so loud it filled the quiet space. "That a

Lori’s POVA dark gleam flashed on his eyes as Lucas’s smirk widened. He guided me out by placing his palm firmly against the small of my back. I was putting on a denim jacket, but the heat from his touch burned into my skin.I was surprised to find out that his dorm room didn't look like a typic

LoriI woke up to a searing pain around my ankle and knees. Blinking my eyes open, they met white ceiling. A deep frown pulled at my face. This definitely wasn't my bedroom. There were no cute, glow-in-the-dark star stickers scattered across the drywall here.It was only when the harsh scent of ant
