Ice Deal: Faking it with my best friend's twin brother CHAPTER 110: Hurt people hurt people.
~Hayden's POV~ The Head of the Athletic Office, Sandra, leans forward with a serious expression on her face. Besides her, Keisha from the Disciplinary Board, has her arms folded across her chest. “I'm sorry, Hayden, I understand this is a difficult decision to accept…” Sandra starts to say. “A difficult decision? You're telling me that you're not going to investigate or punish Nia for almost ruining my career just because she's a Tiverton?” I almost blow up. Keisha steps forward a little. “Woah, hold on, we are not suspending investigation into the incident because we found out she's a Tiverton. We are ending the investigation because we don't have sufficient evidence to prove…” “Like hell, you don't!” I yell. The women raise their brows simultaneously. “Hayden, I suggest…you watch yourself!” Sandra scolds me. I sigh, taking in a deep breath. My life is falling apart and I can't seem to figure out a way to fix it: my sister won't talk to me; I'm not talking to my dad
Ice Deal: Faking it with my best friend's twin brother CHAPTER 109: Failing my best friend.
~Dakota’s POV~I can feel Hayden's nervousness through his shaking hand. I hold him tighter, letting him know that I'm here for him no matter what. “Son, listen….” Coach Thornhill starts in an uncertain voice. Hayden puts up a hand to stop him. “No, Dad, you need to listen to me.”Coach shrugs, and settles down on his chair. He looks so grief-stricken, his eyes are sunken and red as if he had not gotten a good night's rest. Hayden stands there, gathering his thoughts. “I've spent the past few days thinking. I can't get my head around this. I can't move past this. I just have one question: why did you lie to us?”“Son, no father wishes to expose his weaknesses to his children. I know you would've hated me. Rightfully so.”“Do you even feel guilty!?” Hayden ask, his anger growing. Coach’s face is crestfallen. “You have no idea how much this eats at me. No idea. Every single day, I blame myself for your mother's death. Every single day. It's the reason I could never remarry again. I
Ice Deal: Faking it with my best friend's twin brother CHAPTER 108: Moral support
~Hayden’s POV The sincerity in her voice bolsters me. For the past few days, I've felt like a ship adrift on stormy seas. I can't see the way through or pull myself out of the deep wells of depression. But when she holds my hand, suddenly, everything feels okay. I squeeze her hand tighter. “I'm not even sure what to say.” “This is a safe space. You can tell me anything and I won't judge you. I promise, I swear,” Dakota retorts. I swallow hard, meeting her eyes. Those perfect eyes, those plump lips, the stunning beauty of her face all comfort me. “I keep thinking….what if your mom's right?” I find myself opening up. Dakota frowns. “What!?” “What if I inherited my dad's genes? What if I'm an asshole and cheat by design?” I ask. “Hayden….” Dakota whispers with concern. “No, think about it, I've never actually committed to a real relationship in my life. I'm terrified of falling in love. I fuck everything up. What if it's just the Thornhill gene?” Dakota rubs
Ice Deal: Faking it with my best friend's twin brother CHAPTER 107: Depressed.
~Dakota's POV~ONE WEEK LATER “Come on, Dakota, you're the only one he might speak to. He's locked away in his room for days now. He won't even come out to eat. He's depressed. He needs you!” Heather begs, leaping onto my bed. I pull away from her. “What would make you think he's gonna talk to me?” Heather tilts her head. “Really? You want me to say it!?”I frown. “Say what!?” “Well, there's obviously something deeper between the two of you.”I scoff. “No, there isn't!”“Yeah, right! You both keep denying it but there is. At the very least, he likes you. You make him happy,” Heather says. I almost burst out laughing. “I make him happy? Me? I don't think so. Nia, maybe!” Heather rubs her forehead. “You do know that he reported Nia to the school authorities, right? You do know there's absolutely nothing going on between him and that girl!?” “I don't care. I just want to be left alone! I only came to the hospital to make sure that he's okay. He's fine. I don't have to deal with hi
Ice Deal: Faking it with my best friend's twin brother CHAPTER 106: The Accident
~Hayden's POV~ I drive through the dark, my vision blurring with the tears stinging my eyes. Ms. Rawlings’ revelation rings through my mind. No matter what, I can't seem to register it well: Mom is dead because she was running away from Dad. I can't even define the feelings racing through me: sadness, guilt, but mostly rage. Did Dad know that mom was leaving? Why did he keep the truth about her death from us? But the most important question, I guess, is: Why would Dad cheat on Mom? I let my mind race back to the events of the last few years. It's been a few years since Mom died but I had not suspected that Dad could've cheated on her. Sure, they argued and had their problems but nothing could've suggested infidelity to me. I try so hard to recall memories from my childhood to pinpoint the exactness of Ms. Rawlings accusation. I'm so lost in my mind, I didn't see the truck barrelling towards me until the bright lights blind me and the horn momentarily stun me.
Ice Deal: Faking it with my best friend's twin brother CHAPTER 105: History repeats itself.
~Dakota’s POV~We scramble away from each other. My cheeks burn with embarrassment. “Mom, there you are!” I murmur. Mom stares at us blankly. When her hostile eyes turn to Hayden, he flinches. He flashes a weak smile, thrusting out a hand. “Hello, Ms. Rawlings!” Mom doesn't shake his hand. “What are you doing here, Hayden?” I jump forward to Hayden's defense. “I called him mom. I got lost in the maze again.”“What!? You should've called me!” Mom screeches. “I did. Multiple times. I needed help and I called out but I wasn't able to get through to you or dad or anyone else so I called Hayden! He was able to track my phone to my location and help me out! Mom's face softens. “Well, thanks for bringing her home but I'm still not forgiving you for what you did. I'm extremely disappointed in you, Hayden. Extremely!” Hayden bows his head. “I'm so sorry, Ms. Rawlings.”“I mean God, what would your mother say?” Mom continues. I had to steer her away from Hayden. “Jesus, that's enough
