Aiden’s POV.

I think I stopped breathing.

Everything around me blurred—the walls, my parents, the stupid dorm room that already felt too small.

Ryder stood there like a ghost pulled straight out of my past.

My chest felt tight and I swallowed hard — so hard that I felt my throat fall into my stomach. I didn’t hear anything else until someone touched my arm.

“Aiden?” my stepmother said softly, shaking me a little. “Aiden, honey.”

I blinked once. Then again. The room snapped back into focus, a

  • HATE HIM, TILL I NEED HIM   Reintroduction.

    RYDER'S POV. I had just finished my classes for the day and was about to go back to the dorm when my phone lit up. It was a message from Peter. I slowly stopped, reading the message over and over again as if that would make sense if I read a thousand times. He kissed Aiden? How did he do that?I quickly rushed back to the dorm. Aiden was sitting in the living room, focused on a book. He looked up when I closed the door. “How was class?” That question was enough to tell me the message wasn't a prank. And the worst part, Aiden enjoyed it. His stomach must be filled with butterflies. “Something happened?” I forced a smile, walking to him, my hands tucked into my pockets. “No,” he shook his head, slammed the book shut, and walked towards the room. “Did something happen?” Classic move. Not only was avoiding my eyes, but he was trying to change the subject. Smart move. But I play those games for a living. “No.” I followed him to the room, watching his every move. His face was

  • HATE HIM, TILL I NEED HIM   Sorry.

    AIDEN'S POV. I rushed back home. I knew I wouldn't be able to stop myself from creating a scene if I had stayed a second longer. I couldn’t believe Peter could do this to me. How could he kiss a stranger? How could he move on so quickly? I marched into the room, slamming the door into someone's face. The person wanted to talk to me, but I was in no mood to talk. So I ignored him, walked into my room, and slammed the door into his face. I walked over to the table and with a single swipe, I threw everything off the table. Including my laptop but I really didn't care. The only thing I could think of was that guy's lips on Peter's lips. I turned to Ryder's side of the room. His things were scattered across. My fists clenched rage flowed through my veins. Somehow I knew Ryder was behind it. He must've set Peter up with that guy. He must've done it to get under my skin. And it worked. But I wasn't going to let it go. Minutes blurred into hours. I was an early bird, but this time I w

  • HATE HIM, TILL I NEED HIM   Only gay men date gay men.

    AIDEN'S POV. I couldn't contain my excitement. This fake relationship was an opportunity for me to completely destroy the chance of Peter ever getting back with Daniel. And it was also an opportunity to finally confess my feelings to him. “Feeling good about today,” Ryder teased. “You and your lover are going to spend some quality time together.” He paused as if remembering something serious. “Oh, I almost forgot, gay people are broken so you might try to fix him.”I walked over to him, my fists clenched so tightly that I could have sworn I heard my bones crack. “What's your problem?” I growled. God forbid I make one angry statement. But I really shouldn't have said that. Right? He closed the gap between us, staring deep into my soul. I wanted to move back but my legs were frozen to the ground. “You know exactly what my problem is,” he replied coldly. Peter walked out of the bathroom, but froze, seeing us standing so close together. “If Aiden was gay, I'd have sworn there is so

    AUTHOR’S POV. Aiden’s living room was messy but warm.Empty soda cans were on the table. A big box of pizza sat open in the middle. The smell of cheese filled the air. The TV was on but no one was watching it.They were all sitting on the floor. Peter sat between Riss and Ava. Ava was almost glued to him. She had one arm around his shoulder like she was protecting him from the world.“You don’t deserve that idiot,” Ava muttered, biting into her pizza. “Daniel is trash.”Peter sighed. “Can you not?”“No, I cannot,” Ava snapped. “He cheated on you. I am allowed to curse him.”Peter rubbed his face. “Ava, please. I’m already tired.”Riss leaned back against the couch. “She’s been cursing him for the past hour. I’m surprised Daniel hasn’t felt it spiritually.”Ava glared at him. “This isn’t funny.”“I didn’t say it was funny,” Riss replied calmly. “I’m just saying Peter said he’s fine.”Peter nodded. “I am. I’m happy I’m here. With my friends. And my favourite cousin.” He bumped Ava ligh

    RYDER’S POV. My phone started ringing the moment I stepped out of class.I checked the screen. It was my Mom.I sighed softly and answered. “Hello, Mom.”“Ryder!” she said happily. “How are you? How was your class?”“It was fine,” I said, walking down the hallway. “Boring as always. The professor talks too much.”She sighed. “Tell me about it.”I forced a smile, causally waving at a classmate. “Bye,” I whispered. “Good. Are you eating well?” she asked.“It’s only been a month,” I said. “I’m not dying.”“You sound thinner,” she said.“You can’t hear thinness through a phone.”“A mother can,” she replied.I smiled a little.“How is college?” she asked again.“It’s fine.”“And Aiden Miller?” she said, her voice filled with disdain. I rolled my eyes even though she couldn’t see me. “I’m going to survive him too.”“He's just like his father, isn't he? A dull asshole with a butt shaped head and a tiny prick,” she insulted. “Woah! Chill out, mum.”“I just hate the Millers.”Same here. T

  • HATE HIM, TILL I NEED HIM   Five minutes too late.

    AIDEN’S POV. “What are you doing here?” I asked, still holding the blanket tight to my chest.Ryder brows furrowed. “What do you mean?” he asked. “This is my room. And that is my bed.”I blinked.My brain felt slow, like it was still asleep.“Your bed?” I repeated.Oh, I was a dumb fuck. I slowly got up from the floor and wiped my forehead with my hand.“Don’t ever do that again,” I said.“Do what?” Ryder asked, still smiling.“Kiss my forehead.”He laughed louder this time. “Oh relax,” he said. “You looked cute. I couldn’t help it. You almost remind me of the time you slept on my bed at the club.”I glared at him. “Shut your cunt up,” I said through gritted teeth, my fists clenched. “The next time you do that, I swear I'll kill you.”“Okay, okay,” he said, raising his hands. “You’re so dramatic in the morning.”Right then, the door opened and Peter walked in.He looked fresh, like he had just washed his face. His hair was still a little messy.“Good morning,” he said softly.“Morni
