Huling Na-update:
2025-05-20 00:00:47I call the newspaper, and after begging for Kayla to let me take the day off so I can help at home—which she only allows because I offer to work an extra day to pay for the missing hours—Spencer takes me to the ranch.
When he drops me with the promise that we’ll meet again tomorrow to solve things, I rush inside to change my clothes for the day and start with the house chores.
The place is empty, and I assume Dad returned to the hospital early in the morning to take something for Mom to eat and wait for Lauren to be discharged. I blast my playlist on the speaker while I clean the kitchen and decide to prepare a meal for when my sister comes home later today.
That’s when I have the coolest idea to welcome her back. Grabbing my phone from the kitchen table, I dial Chad’s number, waiting a couple of seconds until he picks up.
“Hays, what’s up?” he greets me from

Homecoming Love Chapter 26
When our brothers finally show up, Lauren is still napping in her room, and Mom and Dad have just finished their dinner and called it a night. Just like when we were kids, I used my spare time to build a blanket fort in the living room so we can watch movies and pretend we are all kids again. We used to love when our parents did that for us in the past, so I thought, why not?Chad walks into the house and immediately spots the fort, widening his eyes in surprise.“What’s that? Did I just walk into a time machine?” he teases, putting the bags he’s holding on top of the coffee table and looking at me. Ryan comes right after him, a soft smile on his lips as he takes in the scene before him.“It feels like we’re back in the ‘90s again,” he adds, coming to greet me with a tight hug. “Hi, Hays.”“Hey, brother. How have you been?” I reply, hugging him back. “How did the honeymoon treat

I feel my cheeks heating up but ignore it. “I have to go home. I don’t have my phone, and I didn’t let them know that I—”He shakes his head, cutting me off. Turning off the heat, he turns to face me, crossing his arms across his chest nonchalantly.“Your family knows you’re with me, so don’t worry. And Chad said Lauren will be released later today, and that she’s fine.”I exhale, letting out a sigh of relief, plopping myself in one of the stools. “Thank God. Wait…” I narrow my eyes at him, only now realizing what he said. “Did you tell them I slept here?” Panic claws at my chest, and I rise from the stool again, too freaked out to stay still.“Yes? To be fair, though, Chad told them first, so it’s not on me this time.” Spencer tosses his arms up in the air, turning to the cabinet to grab two plates.

Spencer doesn’t need to hear anything else from me after that. His hands easily grab the back of my thighs, lifting me from the floor and carrying me to the end of the hallway, to a room I’m sure now is his bedroom. I wrap my legs around his waist, nibbling his ear and neck as he walks us through the house.His grip around me tightens as I reach his earlobe, and I feel his chest reverberate as he groans.“Hayden,” he warns.I chuckle to myself, not caring to stop what I’m doing. I know exactly where his weak spots are, and I sure as hell don’t intend to stop now.“I’m glad to know I still know some things about you,” I whisper against his ear before tugging my hand into his hair and pulling him toward me, claiming his lips once more. He reciprocates my kiss while blindingly kicking the door open, not caring to close it behind him once he steps inside.

His eyes search my face, looking for any sign of resistance, anything that will tell him that I don’t want this. Spencer will respect whatever I say. He’s noble that way.But no matter how hard I try to convince myself that telling him no is the right thing to do, I can’t voice it. I can’t push him away. I can’t make him see reason. Because, at this moment, all I want is for him to take me in his arms and say he loves me.“Why now? I mean, we haven’t seen each other in seven years. How is it even possible that we still harbor feelings for each other?” I sound frustrated, but the frustration is entirely directed at myself. I wish I could control these feelings, to tell my heart who to love and who to hate, but whenever Spencer is concerned, I don’t seem to have the reins over my life anymore.“I admit I’ve been afraid to see you. I was thankful that
Homecoming Love Chapter 21
I’m not sure how to react to Spencer’s words, so I clear my throat, looking out the window, pretending to analyze his new house’s exterior.I don’t understand what’s going on with him—with us—lately.Why is Spencer trying so hard to get back into my life, kissing me and willing to be punched for it? What is all of this supposed to mean?I know how I feel about him, and I know I shouldn’t feel like this anymore, not after so long. But does that mean Spencer feels the same way? Does he still have feelings for me?It can’t be…Seven years is a lot of time. Too much for someone to hold onto feelings that are supposed to be long gone.I’m one to talk, but I’m different from Spencer. I never thought he could still nourish feelings for me after we broke up in such an ugly way. For
Homecoming Love Chapter 20
Spencer is staring at me, his piercing blue eyes studying my face carefully. He’s dressed in black sweatpants and a hoodie, his hands in his pockets. Were he and Chad hanging out before coming here? They didn’t seem to be on good terms when my brother told me to leave the school last night, but now they are here together, so it makes me wonder if it means they’re okay.I’m instantly reminded of our kiss, and I feel my cheeks burning with embarrassment, so I try to cover them with my hair, letting it fall over my shoulders and face.“I’ll take you home,” Spencer answers matter-of-factly, as if the whole silent exchange with Chad was this obvious.“Why?” I press stubbornly. “I came with my dad. I can go back with him.”“You heard Chad. He’ll take your dad home. Come on, you look like you need some sleep,” Spencer insists, taking one hand out of his pocket and laying it on my
Homecoming Love Chapter 19
I can’t believe this is happening.As Dad drives us to the hospital, my mind is swirling with horrible scenarios of what could have happened to Lauren.She was supposed to be on her shift. She told me this morning she would be working.Did she get hurt on duty? How bad is it? Is it a good sign we don’t know anything else?After my father said she was in the hospital, I helped him get Mom off the couch and put her in the truck. I climbed into the back seat, completely mute. I couldn’t make myself utter a word, and I still can’t.I don’t know what to say. Anything I say will be meaningless until we know more.Should I comfort my parents?I shake my head, not allowing myself to go down that road.Lauren is fine. I know that. She’s the toughest, strongest person I know. Whatever happens to her, she w
Homecoming Love Chapter 18
Quit? How could he suggest something like that?I went to college, studied all those years, graduated, and got a job so I could make a living and help around the house. Quitting sounds like giving up. Like I failed somehow. I’m used to earning my own money, to be able to give back—even though in smaller doses—everything they did and still do for me. It’s not fair to them to simply quit. And do what?“Why would I do that? I don’t have any idea about what I want to do,” I tell them, creasing my brows in confusion.“You can write your book. Isn’t that something you always wanted?” Mom suggests.“This won’t pay my bills, Mom.”“You don’t have to pay for anything. That’s what we’re here for,” Dad adds, leaning back in his chair.I turn to face him in disbelief.“Of cours
