Edges Of Us The Son He Thought He Knew
**Mason POV**The drive home felt longer than it should have. My dad’s message kept sitting on my phone screen like something waiting for me.Just four words that somehow felt heavier than any lecture he had ever given me. I knew what this was about.At least, I thought I did. He had seen me slipping during practice. The way my attention kept drifting even when I tried to force myself to focus.He was going to talk about scouts, my future and probably everything I had spent my whole life working toward.I could handle that because yea. I have handled it my entire life. I knew how to sit there, nod my head, and promise I would do better.That was easy. What wasn’t easy was the fact that lately, every time I looked at Ezra, every time he smiled at me or reached for my hand when nobody was watching, I felt like I was finally living a life that actually belonged to me. And that really scared me than losing hockey ever did.When I pulled into the driveway, the house was quiet. Usually
Edges Of Us The Weight Of Expectations
Mason POVI always gets to the rink before everyone else. The quiet was the only time this place actually felt like mine. No teammates shouting. No coach correcting every move. No scouts watching from the stands. Just me, the ice, and the sound of my blades cutting through the surface.Usually, that was enough to clear my head but not today. Because all I could think about was Ezra. I hated how easy it had become to think about him.The way he smiled when he was trying not to. The way he got annoyed when Kai teased him but still laughed anyway. The way he looked at me like I wasn’t just some hockey player trying to be perfect all the time. Like I was actually a person. Hockey had always been simple.You worked harder than everyone else. You trained longer. You won. That was the formula.My dad made sure I knew that. I still remembered being ten years old, standing on the ice after practice while everyone else had already gone home. My legs were shaking. My hands were numb. I had tears
Edges Of Us Different Ways Of Loving
**Ezra POV**Practice ended later than usual that day. The rink was almost empty by the time the coach finally called it. The bright lights above the ice made everything feel colder than it actually was.My body was tired, but my mind was worse. These last few days kept replaying in my head. The cabin, messages, Mason looking at me like he was trying to be brave even though he was scared. And Kai smiling like he had everything under control when I knew he didn’t. Lila trying to act like she was okay.I was surrounded by people I cared about, and somehow I had never felt more lost like this right now. I was putting my things away near the boards when I saw Mason and Kai standing near the penalty box.They weren’t arguing, which alone surprises me.Mason had his arms crossed, his usual defensive posture. Kai leaned against the boards, quieter than normal. No teasing. No jokes. I stayed where I was, pretending to fix my bag while listening.Mason spoke first. “You really like him,
Edges Of Us Friendship And More
**Lila POV**The library after school was usually the one place where I could disappear to and feel safe. No drama. No weird conversations or me pretending I wasn’t confused about everything happening around me. But today, it wasn’t working.I was sitting in the corner with my math textbook open, staring at the same problem for what felt like forever. The numbers were starting to look like a different language to me and every time I tried to focus, my brain went somewhere else. Back to the cabin. The way Mason looked at Ezra like he was so terrified of losing him, and the way Kai acted like everything was cool with him even though I could tell it really wasn’t. And back to Ezra, who somehow looked happy and completely overwhelmed at the same time.I wasn’t angry at them. I mean why should I? But honestly, that was the most annoying part. Because if I was angry, things would be easier. But yeah. I understood. Maybe too much.I sighed and dropped my pencil on the table. “Come on,
Edges Of Us I Cared For Him
[Mason’s Pov]Honestly, I really used to think that fear was something you could see. Like a shaking hand,nervous voice and someone backing away when things got too hard.But I was wrong, sometimes fear looked like getting up at 5 AM for practice and pretending you weren’t checking your phone every five minutes. Sometimes it looked like walking through school halls with your head high while your stomach felt like it was tied in knots.While, sometimes it looked like watching the person you cared about laugh with someone else and telling yourself you were fine because you didn’t want to be the guy who ruined everything for them and that was actually the worst part of it all.I had spent years convincing everyone I didn’t care about anything. It was easier that way because people won't be able to hurt you if they didn’t know where to hit. But then Ezra happened and suddenly I had something to lose.I sat in my room staring at my phone, the last message still open.Unkn
Edges Of Us Should I Regret
The morning after the camp was over, felt like I had walked back into my normal life with a secret sitting on my chest.Everything looked the same.The same room. The same annoying sound of Jun’s alarm going off even though he wasn’t awake enough to turn it off. The same pile of clothes on the chair that I kept promising myself I would clean. But I wasn’t the same.I lay there staring at the ceiling, replaying everything that happened at the cabin even though I was trying my hardest not to.Mason’s voice, Kai’s smile, Lila’s laugh when she was nervous. The way all of us had crossed a line we couldn’t uncross.My phone sat beside me on the bed. No new messages, no threats. Nothing and somehow that bothered me more. Because waiting for something bad to happen was worse than knowing it already had.I finally forced myself out of bed and got ready for school.The second I stepped into the hallway, everything felt louder than usual.People were laughing near the stairs. Someone was arguing
Edges Of Us Open Door Disaster
Nobody moved after Lila spoke.Music still pounded downstairs hard enough to shake the floor, but up in the hallway everything felt weirdly quiet. Too quiet.Lila looked between all three of us again like her brain was trying to process the scene and failing miserably.Kai leaned back against the w
Edges Of Us The Derek Holloway’s Party
By Thursday morning, nobody in school could focus on anything except Derek Holloway’s party.The announcement happened halfway through first period after mrs Linda left the classroom for a phone call. Derek stood on top of his chair like an idiot while everybody yelled at him to get down.“My pare
Edges Of Us Exposed
Mason avoided me for two straight days after the locker room conversation. Not completely. That would've almost been easier to deal with because at least then I could’ve gotten angry properly. Instead he did this annoying half-distance thing where he still talked to me during practice, still stood
Edges Of Us One And Only
Things with Mason got weird after the rink. Not like bad, weird. But honestly that probably would've been easier to deal with. This was worse because now every interaction between us carried this heavy undercurrent neither of us knew how to handle anymore. And the annoying part was that everybody
