JAYDEN

Brian's words hang in the air.

Can I please hold you?

And even though every instinct in me wants to step between them, wants to remind him that Aurora isn't his anymore, that he lost the right to ask for comfort from her...

I don't.

I'm not a dick like that. This isn't about me. It's not about the way I'm starting to feel about Aurora either. It's not even about whatever complicated shit exists between Brian and Aurora.

This is about a guy who just lost his mom. A guy standing in fro

  • Fake Dating The Hockey Captain AKA My Roommate   099- SLEEPING OUTSIDE

    099SLEEPING OUTSIDE AURORA Greta takes a step toward me, her hands still shaking, her eyes still desperate. "Sweetheart, please... she didn't mean that. She's just confused and overwhelmed...""And I'm not?" I scoff, shaking my head. Does it surprise me that her parents would condone this behavior? Not at all. "Aurora," Richard begins, stepping up beside his wife, his broad shoulders looking weighed down. "Listen to us. We didn't mean for tonight to turn into this..."I raise a hand, stopping them both in their tracks. The gesture is sharper than I intended, but I can't take another word."Don't," I rasp, my throat feeling like sandpaper. "Just... don't. I want to go to bed before my head actually explodes."Greta’s face falls, her glance shifting down to the covered covered tray resting on the side table. "But... what about the food? I made what I hoped you’d like. Soup, and..."I looked at the silver dome covering the plate, feeling a cold, hollow sensation in my chest. "I don't

  • Fake Dating The Hockey Captain AKA My Roommate   098- EMOTIONS

    098EMOTIONS AURORA Jayden's gone, and with the pairs of eyes taking me in, I'm on edge and I'm suddenly feeling self conscious. Is my deciding to stay a bad idea? Am I being delusional thinking that this family is where I belong just because they think I'm their daughter? What if a DNA test proves them wrong and Malia and I just coincidentally look alike? What if at the end of the day things go south? What if this? What if that?My head is reeling with the what-if's. I'm so out of it. I know I don't know these people. Heck, I might be making a bad decision by agreeing to spend the night with them. I don't know that yet. But what I do know? What I'm sure of? It's that no matter what I do or how I hope it's not true... Richard and Greta are my parents and there's no going back from that.My reaction isn't how the normal average nineteen year old girl would react. They would freak out and bawl their eyes out. But I'm not doing any of that. That'll come when I have to sit and think

  • Fake Dating The Hockey Captain AKA My Roommate   097- CATCHING UP TO DO

    097CATCHING UP TO DO AURORA The four pair of eyes... Richard, Greta, Julian and Malia... watching Jayden's every move doesn't seem to bother him at all."If you're staying, then I'm going to head out and let you process all of this," Jayden says softly. "But I'm only a phone call away. You call me, text me, even just think my name, and I’m back through those gates in five minutes. Got it?""Got it," I murmur.Jayden doesn't immediately turn to walk toward his car. Instead, he reaches up with his free hand, his fingers gently cupping the side of my face. His thumb strokes over my cheekbone, wiping away the remaining dampness of my tears.Then, right there, with everybody watching us... he leans down and presses his lips to mine.Out of the corner of my eye, I can hear Greta catch her breath softly, and I know Richard and Julian are standing just feet away, taking in every second of it. Heat instantly floods my cheeks, radiating all the way to the tips of my ears.When Jayden finally

  • Fake Dating The Hockey Captain AKA My Roommate   096- DECIDING TO STAY

    096DECIDING TO STAYAURORA It's fucking getting to my head.The tight, desperate hold around my chest suddenly feels less like a mother's embrace and more like a vice squeezing the air straight out of my lungs.I breath in and out. My chest begins to heave and I can feel my ribs expanding against the crushing weight of everything happening at once. I can't breathe. Greta's floral perfume plus the dampness of her tears against my neck is too much. It's way too much. "I... I can't," my voice breaks. I place my hands against Greta's shoulders and push back. I need space. I need air. Fuck."Aurora?" Greta gasps, her eyes wide and bloodshot as she's forced to let go."I have to leave," I say, stumbling back a step until my heel bumps against Jayden's shoe. He immediately reaches down, his fingers lacing tightly through mine. "I can't... I need to go. I have to leave.""No, no, please! Aurora, wait!" Greta steps forward, her hands outstretched, hovering in the space between us. Tears ar

  • Fake Dating The Hockey Captain AKA My Roommate   095- REALITY

    095 REALITY AURORA I can see the resemblance. She does look like my mom, only... younger and soft around the edges whereas my mom looks older than her age and... I shut my eyes. Am I for real? My mom? Welcome to reality, Aurora. The woman you've known all your life isn't your mom at all. She's lied to you. And even though she gave birth to you... she's not your mother. And this woman standing here... Greta? She's your biological mother. My eyes take her in fully. She stands motionless beside the sedan, a clutch pressed tightly against her stomach. "You must be Greta," Jayden says, stepping slightly in front of me as if to shield me from the coldness radiating from her. To be honest, I wish he'd stop doing that. Stepping in front of me. It's cute and all but it makes me feel... I don't know... vulnerable? "And you are Jayden," Greta says, her eyes never breaking contact with mine. She takes two steps down the stone path, her gaze still on my face. "Who is this girl? W

  • Fake Dating The Hockey Captain AKA My Roommate   094- WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?

    094 WHO THE HELL ARE YOU AURORA "As far as I'm concerned, nineteen years ago... my sister-in-law agreed to be a surrogate for me and your mother." Richard states to a wild-eyed, bewildered and now quiet Malia. Her earlier shouts had died in her throat, replaced by a surprising stillness. I don't blame her for shouting and causing a scene. I'd have done worse if I were her. I'm sitting here quiet because of two things. The first being that I'm sick and I can't be as agile, as reactive, as I'm supposed to be naturally. The second? I can't really do anything. My own mom will not tell me anything, ever. I can't be rude to the only man who's ready to give me answers, who's willingly tearing open his own past to lay bare this truth. Malia swallows hard, her eyes meeting mine for a brief second. "Mom doesn't have a sister. Nana had only one girl. What are you talking about, dad?" He ignores her completely, his gaze fixed somewhere beyond us, lost in the murky waters of his m

    004BONDING?AURORAI can't believe how much things have changed in just one night. I don't want to think about Brian. I don't want to think about the kiss. I don't even want to think about anything.Because if I do, I'll lose it. And what better way to show a bunch of jocks that I'm vulnerable if

  • Fake Dating The Hockey Captain AKA My Roommate   003- HEARTBREAK HIGH

    003HEARTBREAK HIGHJAYDENI hate days like this, man. Days where I attend all classes, show up to the gym for practice, pushing my body to its limits, and all I want to do is crash when I'm in my room, sinking into the mattress and disappear for a few hours. But then something morbid comes up and
