“So, how did you convince my Dad to let you stay here?” Ace asked.“I gave him a fake name, my name is Bella by the way, and I just put on the sophisticated charm and pulled a few sympathy cards, now you just have to seal the deal. I suspect he knows how much of a playboy you are, who knows, he might be more concerned about me than you.”He rolled his eyes. “I stopped that shit in high school, it’s a different scene here.”“You’re telling me you haven’t slept with a single girl here?” I scoffed.“That isn’t what I said, I just don’t have mindless sex anymore. It’s boring.”That made me feel disappointed. I wasn’t sure why I was hoping I was the first since that would be weird for someone like him and too far-fetched for me to expect.But if not, who was it he slept with? Was it more than one, less than a few?‘Ugh, why do I care so much? This is driving me insane.’ “You can ask me who it was, she isn’t here anymore,” he said.“It doesn’t matter to me.” Lies.“Suit yourself, I’m going

As soon as my classes were over, I stomped over to the arena and sought out Ace on the ice. I walked on and slowly made my way closer so he could hear me.“Ace Huxley!” I screamed.He spun around and almost fell on his ass when he heard me.“Isla!” His face lit up as he took his helmet off and skated over, but it quickly fell when he saw how pissed off I was. “What happened?”“Have you been going around telling people we’re sleeping together?”His eyes shifted sideways. “Why would I do that?”“Then, why did some random girl from my class who looks like she would be the last person to care about something like this, say you have been confirming all the rumours about us, which doesn’t help the other rumours about me!”His face turned stone cold. “What rumours about you?”I scoffed. “Like you haven’t heard. I’m the hockey slut, I supposedly let all the players have their turn at me before I go running back to you. Ring a bell?”“Who the hell is saying that?” he roared, then spun around a

**WARNING - This chapter contains sexual scenes and talks of sexual abuse. Please read with caution.**~*~“What are you talking about? We met in high school, junior year I’m pretty sure,” I said.“You really don’t remember?” he asked again, then sighed. “We actually met sophomore year, and it was this exact location that we met at, almost in the same situation as this. You were stuck in the window, and I was skateboarding by when I heard you struggling. I helped you out, you said your thanks and we introduced ourselves, then we didn’t see each other again until junior year when we were put in the same class.”I tried to remember that, but I couldn’t. It was around that year that my father had begun to become more berated with his drinking and beatings. I had become more reclused and probably shut out a lot of things.Including the first official meeting between Ace and I.“Why didn’t you say anything to me?” I asked.He shrugged. “I tried to approach you in the hall, but you always s

I was stunned. Words had escaped me. What did you say to someone who had just poured their heart out in the most heart-wrenched way?You didn’t say anything. You poured another drink, one for yourself, and one for him. That was what I did, and silently handed Ace the glass.“It happened in my room. I felt disgusted with the place for weeks, I’ve slept in the spare room ever since until you got here, and then I forced myself to face it. I can’t have you in there because there are nothing but bad memories there, and you shouldn’t be associated with anything bad in my life.”That touched my heart a little. Here I had been thinking the complete opposite, like a petty, jealous child. When in fact he had been struggling with something so horrible, no one should ever have to suffer that.“I’m so sorry you had to go through that, I never should have asked.” I placed a comforting hand on his shoulder, and he grasped it.“No, it was a matter of time before you found out and I should’ve been hon

After my talk with Sylvia, we became closer friends, and I was finally able to say I had made a friend that wasn’t Ace, though he counted as a friend in other ways, it was nice to have another girl to talk to every now and then.She also helped me a ton with my choreography once the day of the competition arrived, I felt more than prepared and had the confidence that I could actually with this thing for once. Especially now that I had a little entourage of Ace and Sylvia to cheer me on in the crowd.Despite the loud music and everyone else cheering, I was able to hear them the loudest of all and knew exactly where they were in the crowd. It helped boost my confidence and I felt like a butterfly on stage as I floated and moved about.I just hoped I looked as graceful as I felt.Come the end, I felt I had this thing in the bag, but there were two more competitors after me before they announced the top three winners and prizes. I jumped off the stage and made my way through to the back w

Ace HuxleyIt was silent. Too silent. And she was still. Too still. It had been a whole 24 hours, and neither a sound nor shuffle from her.It was agony.“Isla, please, open your eyes.” I had begged her a thousand times, but she kept ignoring me. She wouldn’t wake up.A nurse popped her head in. “Excuse me, sir. There is someone here to see you.”“Who is it?” I asked.“He claims to be your father.”‘Fuck.’ “Thank you, I’ll be right there.” I leaned over and gave Isla one more tender kiss before I left, telling her I would be back soon.My father was in the waiting room, and he looked pissed, but I could care less. The most precious person ever was lying unconscious in the next room.He could tear me apart for all I cared.“What in the hell happened here? You were caught in a basement fire, are you stupid?” He didn’t even ask if I was okay, no look of concern at all.“I’m fine, Dad. Thanks for asking.”“Is this because of that new roommate of yours? I knew she was troubled when I saw

I woke up and felt like a freight train had run me over. My body felt heavy, and my head was filled with cotton. There was an annoying buzzing around me that wouldn't go away no matter how much I tried to stop it.I tried to move my hand but something was constricting my movement. I blinked and was met with a stark white ceiling and more beeping. I went to move my head, but it was stiff, as was the rest of my body. It felt like I hadn't moved in weeks."Isla? Isla, you're awake!" I was slugged by a heavy body and tackled to the bed."Oof, Ace, too much." I tapped out.He backed away suddenly. "Shit, my bad. I was just so relieved.""Ugh, I feel like crap. What happened?""There was a fire, you were caught on the first floor and inhaled too much smoke. You've been asleep for 2 days now," Ace said, and that was when I noticed how haggard and exhausted he looked."Have you slept at all?" I asked.He smiled and shook his head. "There's something we need to talk about. My father was here,

“So, this is where we’ll be staying?” I asked as we toured the house.The frat houses.“Do you have any better places?” Ace asked though he didn’t look happy about it either. He never even told me he was a member of a frat, but apparently, all the players on the team were, they had formed their own frat house to help with funds for the team that the school didn’t provide, like food and resources when travelling between games.It wasn’t a terrible idea; it was just the whole idea of frat houses that was terrible. The whole street was lined with them, it was one huge party central every night, which meant it was going to be impossible to get any studying done late at night. That also just meant I would be spending more time in my abandoned building now.“Are we at least sharing a room?” I asked.He scoffed. “Of course, you think I would leave you in a room here? You’re staying with me whether you like it or not.”“I was willing to get an apartment with you, so yeah, obviously.”He crack
