FORBIDDEN ICE: CLAIMING THE CAPTAIN'S SISTER 172
CHAPTER 172WHAT BREAKS, WHAT HOLDSELLISI don’t think I’ve ever seen Asher look small. That’s the only word that fits. Small.Not physically, he was still broad shoulders, still standing straight, still carrying the weight of everyone around him. But something inside him looked folded in on itself, like the world had finally hit a place he didn’t know how to protect.He stopped in front of us and just… stood there. His breathing wasn’t steady, his hands trembled once before he shoved them into his pockets like he didn’t want us to notice.Too late.The tears slipped down his face, his shoulders shaking even before he could realise it. His eyes were red, filled with regret, pain and every other thing I couldn't see. For a moment, we all stood there, not knowing what to do. Before Rowan moved towards him and pulled him into a hug. I let out a deep breath, forcing back my own tears as I watched Asher cry into Rowan's shoulders. Noah turned away from them, unable to look as he weaved

CHAPTER 171WHEN IT FEELS LIKE THE WHOLE WORLD IS ABOUT TO CRASH NOAHThe doctor’s face is the first thing I see. Not his coat, not his stethoscope around his neck or his face. His face was neutral in the way people try to be when they’re about to rearrange your entire life with a sentence.The emergency room doors swing shut behind him with a soft thud. And suddenly I’m not in this hallway anymore…. I’m back in my car.—My phone had buzzed once, signifying a text. I had wanted to ignore it because I was in the middle of a game, trying not to think too much about Isla. So I ignored it.We were halfway through the lobby, my headphones hanging firmly on my head as my fingers moved fervently on the screen. Then it buzzed again, the app icon popping on the screen and blocking my view. And again. Until it cost me my life in the game. I groaned in anger and frustration, quitting the game and entering the app to see Ellis message. Ellis:Hospital. Now. It’s Isla.For a second, I just sta

CHAPTER 170THE WORDS OF INSENSITIVE HUMANS ELLISThe hallway felt like a tunnel as they wheeled her past rows of staring faces. Everything blurred — doors, lights, people stepping aside — but the whispers didn’t blur. They clung to the air like smoke.I kept walking beside the stretcher, my hand brushing the edge of it just to feel connected to something real. I so badly wanted her to say something, laugh and say it wasn't real. That it was just an elaborate prank. That’s when I heard it. A voice from somewhere in the crowd, quiet and careless, but sharp enough to hard enough enough to hit everything else. “She’s too guilty to even face the world… thinks suicide is an escape plan.”My steps stopped as everything inside me went cold and hot at the same time. I turned so fast towards the direction the whisper came from that my neck cracked.“What did you say?”The crowd froze as students shifted uncomfortably. Their eyes slides away, their phones lowered, but nobody stepped forward.

CHAPTER 169TOO LATE TO KNOCKELLISI don’t know what made me leave immediately, but here was just something urgent at the back of my head that wanted to get to her as soon as possible. Maybe it was the way she hadn't replied the message or the campus blog that made me know it was going to destabilise her. Or maybe it was just pure instinct.I didn’t even remember putting on a shirt, I just remember walking fast… then faster… then practically running across campus like something was chasing me. It was smoke I was chasing something I was already losing. My phone was still in my hand when I reached her building as her checked to see if she had replied to my last message. No reply.I climbed the stairs two at a time. My chest was tight, but I told myself it was just from running and not from the fact that different scary thoughts were running through my head at the same time. I reached her door and knocked on the door, letting my knuckles hit the wood softly. “Isla?”Nothing. I didn

CHAPTER 168MY THOUGHTS GOT TOO LOUD ISLAThinking back, the walk back to the dorm felt longer than it actually was.Every step felt heavy, like my shoes were filled with wet sand. The air around campus was still buzzing from the showcase, voices drifting in small clusters, people laughing too loudly and living their normal lives while mine felt like it had been ripped open and thrown under stage lights.I kept my head down. I didn’t want to see anyone and I didn’t want anyone to see me.By the time I pushed open the dorm door, my shoulders ached from holding everything in. Sonia was sitting on her bed, legs crossed, scrolling through her phone. How she got home before me was something I didn't know. She looked up immediately when I walked in. Her eyes lingered on me longer than usual and I didn't know if what I saw behind her eyes were judgments or just carefulness. It was like she was trying to figure out whether I would shatter if she said the wrong thing.And the next day when t

CHAPTER 167AFTERSHOCKSROWAN“Victor three — us one,” Noah muttered under his breath as we turned the corner out of the administration building. It was like he was inside my head and had heard exactly when the thoughts crossed my mind. Ellis huffed. “You’re keeping score now?”“Obviously,” he said. “Man publicly humiliates someone? That’s one. Gets us dragged to the Dean? Two. Walks out without suspension? Three.”“That's without counting the time he broke my knee and Isla's leg,” I added lightly.“He got probation too,” Ellis said quietly, looking between me and Noah. Noah pointed at him. “Participation trophy. Doesn’t count.”I scoffed, shoving my hands into my pockets. Asher still hadn’t said a word and I didn't know if to be worried or scared. When Asher gets loud, you know what he’s feeling. When he gets quiet, that’s when therer are a million and one dangerous and stupid things going on in his head. We stepped outside. The late afternoon air hit differently after sitting in
