Fake dating the Captain's step brother Chapter 17
Chelsea povI pulled out of the Ashbourne parking lot in my silver Porsche, soft music drifting through the speakers, my fingers tapping a light, contented rhythm against the wheel. A laugh slipped out of me before I could stop it.I kept replaying it. Kayla, glancing down the hallway. Recognition flashing across her face. Fear following right behind it.Finally,‘You remember me,’ I thought, smiling at the road ahead. ‘Even if you don't know who I am yet.’The drive gave me time to think, the city sliding by in blurred storefronts and traffic lights, and my mind wandered back, the way it always did lately, to a version of myself standing on a playground a decade ago, small and furious and completely invisible.It was almost funny, how ridiculous it was that Kayla probably didn't even remember me. I remembered everything. I remembered being eight years old. I remembered the swings, the sun too bright overhead, the particular sound gravel made under sneakers when you were running towar

Kayla povI woke early, before my alarm even had the chance to go off, staring at the ceiling for a long moment before the reality of the day settled over me. First day back. First day on crutches. First day everyone at Ashbourne would get a good, long look at the girl who'd fallen in the hallway and made the whole school buzz for a week.Getting dressed took twice as long as it should have. I hopped, wobbled, and swore under my breath more times than I wanted to admit, the crutches leaning uselessly against the wall while I tried to wrestle a shirt over my head without losing my balance.My aunt appeared in the doorway halfway through, arms already full, a lunch bag in one hand and my medication in the other."Do you have everything? Painkillers, in case it starts aching. Snacks, in case lunch runs late. Your phone is charged?""Aunty, I'm fine.""You're not fine, you have a broken ankle." She set the bag down on my desk, fussing with the zipper even though it was already zipped. "Yo

Cole povI stood outside Room 214, one hand wrapped around a paper cup of coffee I'd bought twenty minutes ago and forgotten to drink. It had gone cold. I could feel it through the cardboard, dull and useless in my palm.I'd walked past the door twice already. The third time, I stopped.Through the small window in the door, I caught a flash of movement, Kayla laughing, head tipped back slightly, one hand pressed to her side like the laugh had cost her something. Rhys sat beside her, grinning, clearly pleased with himself for whatever he'd just said.My jaw tightened.I told myself it didn't matter. I told myself a lot of things lately that didn't hold up under any real weight.The door opened a minute later, and Rhys stepped out, spotting me immediately."Are you going in?"I didn't answer.He studied me for a second, something unreadable behind his usual easy expression. "She'll want to know you came."He walked off down the hallway without waiting for a response, leaving me alone w

Kayla povConsciousness came back slowly, in pieces, like pulling myself up through something thick and heavy that didn't want to let go.The first thing I registered was pain, a dull, insistent ache pulsing somewhere near my ankle, sharp enough to cut through the fog but not sharp enough to fully wake me. The second thing was light, soft and filtered, coming from somewhere above me.I didn't know where I was.I blinked slowly, the ceiling swimming into focus, pale tiles, a fluorescent light humming faintly overhead. Not my room. Not Priya's room. Somewhere else entirely.Fragments came back first, disconnected and strange. Rain, cold against my skin. Rhys's sweater, warm and too big, draped over my shoulders. Cole, crossing the hallway fast, pulling Rhys away without a word.Then the floor. The slick patch beneath my foot. The world tilted sideways too fast to catch myself.A girl. Ponytail. Smiling.My breath caught, the memory landing hard and cold in my chest, and I pushed myself

Cole povThe locker room smelled like it always did before a game, sweat and rubber and the faint metallic tang of skate blades being sharpened somewhere down the hall. I sat lacing up, head down, trying to focus on something as simple as tying a knot correctly.Rhys dropped onto the bench beside me, still pulling his jersey over his shoulder pads."Did you check on Kayla?" I asked, not looking up."Not yet." He glanced at me, something careful in his expression. "I'm going to the hospital right after the game. Figured she'd still be resting anyway."I nodded, focusing hard on the lace in my hands, though my grip had tightened enough that my knuckles had gone pale.Someone did this to her. On purpose.The words had been sitting in my chest since yesterday, heavy and wrong, refusing to settle into anything I could actually do something with. I kept turning them over anyway, uselessly, like repetition might eventually make them make sense.The room emptied around me in stages, teammates

Priya povI didn't stop walking when Rhys called my name the first time. Or the second. By the third, I could hear his footsteps picking up behind me, closing the distance fast enough that I knew he wasn't going to let this go.His hand closed around my arm, gentle but firm enough to actually stop me."Priya. Hey. Talk to me.""I'm not in the mood for friendly talks, Rhys." I pulled my arm free, my voice sharper than I meant it to come out, though I didn't have it in me to soften it right now."What's going on? Is Kayla—" His face had gone pale, worry cutting through the usual easy warmth he carried around like a second skin. "Is she okay? What happened?""She's stable." The word felt clinical coming out of my mouth, borrowed straight from the doctor, but it was the only word I trusted myself with right now. "Broken ankle. She had surgery last night.""Oh, thank god." His shoulders dropped, some of the tension bleeding out of him."That's not the part you should be worried about." I c
