Coming Out of the Deep Chapter 89: Reckless
Third Party POVOlivia had no idea how long she had sat there, crouched behind the corner wall, tears running hot and silent down her cheeks. Her body felt like stone, except for the trembling in her hands.The air in her lungs still burned from the impact of what she had witnessed, but a whisper inside her head fought back against the truth.It doesn’t have to mean it’s over.Maybe he was bisexual. That had to be it. Lake was anything but feminine. He possessed a grounded masculinity that always set him apart. He wasn’t soft or dramatic or flamboyant, he wasn’t like that. No, it had to be Kairos. Kairos was the problem, the one confusing everything. Lake wasn’t gay. He couldn’t be.Olivia wiped her face with the sleeve of her jacket and forced herself to stand. Her knees barely held together as she peered around the corner again, eyes stinging and stomach in knots. This time, however, things were worse. Kairos leaned over the table, hands on Lake, lips all over Lake's, and Olivia ret

Third Party POVOlivia looked back once before quietly slipping away from the girls. Neither of them noticed, not Lux, Becca, or even Yari. "Good," she murmured under her breath, quickening her pace down the narrow steps of the bleachers.She couldn't deal with their questions about where she was going and why. What would she even say? “Oh, I’m just chasing after Lake because I’ve decided now is the perfect time to throw my heart at him and hope it sticks? Yeah, no.”She had overheard Reed directing Lake and his friend. She remembered the name of the spot, pictured the street corner clearly in her mind, and she had to hurry if she was going to catch up.However, once she was out of sight of the stadium, she slowed down. Her legs continued to move, but each step forward felt like she was carrying the burden of a thousand what-ifs with her.How would she go about doing this? How was she supposed to look him in the eye and finally say what she’d been rehearsing in her head for months now
Coming Out of the Deep Chapter 87: Possessive
Lake's POVMy arms were already heavy, and my breath slurred in my chest when I stepped up to the plate for my final round. Tryouts at this place were not a game; you had to earn your spot. And as a first baseman and designated hitter, they’d run me through everything.I went through fielding drills, scooping grounders, reacting to line drives, and perfecting that stretch across the bag before moving on to batting. The test was no joke.But, eventually, I was done, and the coach gave me a firm nod as the whistle went off. I jogged off the field, adrenaline still humming but beginning to wear off, and instead of going around the dugout and walking the long way, I hopped the short fence and climbed over to the stands.My thighs ached, and my shirt was stuck against my back. I was dead tired but buzzing.Cheers met me as soon as I started across. Lux’s group was still loud as I made my way towards them. “That was so impressive!” Luxcalled out before I could get to them, holding out a wat
Coming Out of the Deep Chapter 86: A Hoe
Third Party POVOlivia sighed and placed the phone against her ear. "Hi, Mom," she said, trying to sound upbeat, and her mother's voice on the other end was tinged with excitement, asking how things were going.Olivia replied, "It is going well," but even she could hear the flatness in her voice.There was a brief silence on the other end before her mother spoke again, this time in a softer tone. “Are you sure? You don’t sound like yourself.”Olivia closed her eyes, knowing what was coming even though she insisted she was fine. “How are things going with… you know?”"I have not had a chance to talk to him yet," Olivia admitted, tracing her thumb along the edge of her cup. There was another pause, this time longer, before her mother's disappointed sigh practically vibrated through the phone.“Olivia. You have to do what we talked about. You need to move fast. If you wait too long, another girl will step in, making things much more difficult for you.""I know, Mom," she replied quietly.
Coming Out of the Deep Chapter 85: Cute
Lake's POV“Is what true?” I asked, though my mind was already racing with one possibility, the one truth I was not sure I was ready to share with Olivia.She wasn’t just some random student. Our families were in business together, so my parents were familiar with hers, and if anyone in her family talked, it would filter back to mine. The thought of them discovering I was gay through rumors tied a knot in my chest.Fortunately, that was not what she was talking about.“That you’re trying out for the baseball team,” she said quickly, and relief broke over me like sunlight through storm clouds.“Yeah,” I replied just as fast. “It’s true.”Her face lit up instantly, her eyes going wide with a kind of joy that made my stomach twist, not in a bad way, but in the way it did when someone liked you more than you could ever give back.“I just—I wanted to wish you luck!” she stammered, then quickly waved her hands. Not that I think you need it, obviously. You’re—like—you’re great. I’m sure you’
Coming Out of the Deep Chapter 84: Exclusive
Lux's POVMy mind was racing so fast with questions that I missed Reed's smile, even though he looked directly at me. I just sat there, as still as stone, with a blank stare. Then he was right in front of me, his arms around me, drawing me into a hug that jolted every nerve awake.His breath brushed against the edge of my ear as he whispered, "Are you running away from me?" His voice echoed in my skull, low and teasing, and fully jolted me out of my reverie. "No," I replied quickly, returning to full focus. "I needed some sun."He pulled back just enough to look at my face for a moment, the knowing smirk still on his face, before turning to face the rest of the group and finally acknowledging them.I turned as well, my eyes scanning their faces, or should I say Becca's, as she was the first to capture my attention. Her disappointment was not dramatic, but it was present behind her stiff and brittle smile.She greeted Reed with the others, visibly trying not to let the energy shift sen
