Chapter 158: Won't make it today

last update Last Updated: 2025-10-01 07:01:22

Tara’s POV

The night feels impossibly long, with hours stretching endlessly as I lie in bed replaying everything that happened today. Despite my exhaustion, sleep doesn’t come easily. Every time I close my eyes, I see Xavier’s face during his apology, or I remember the hurt in Jasper’s voice when he tried to explain himself, or I think about the conversation I’m going to have to have with Jane and Zoey tomorrow.

But eventually morning does come, and with it the realization that today is supposed to be the day I finally go back to my normal life with my parents. I should feel relieved and excited about leaving all this drama behind, but instead I feel oddly conflicted about it.

I start packing up my things methodically, folding clothes and organizing the belongings I’ve accumulated during my stay with the twins’ family. It’s strange how much stuff I’ve gathered in just a short time, books, toiletries, clothes that somehow multiplied while I was here.

As I’m putting my pajamas into my

  • My Bullies Are Twin Hockey Players   Chapter 164: Introduction 

    Jasper’s POVThe next morning, I wake up feeling restless and anxious about everything that’s been happening with Tara, my parents, and the general tension that seems to be hanging over our house like a dark cloud. The events of the past few days keep replaying in my mind, Tara overhearing my conversation with Xavier, the forced apologies, the knowledge that she’ll be staying with us for another week when she clearly doesn’t want to be here.When I get up and head to the bathroom to brush my teeth, I notice that Xavier is already awake and moving around the house with this paranoid energy that’s making me uncomfortable. He keeps checking his phone obsessively, pacing around his room, and generally acting like someone who’s expecting terrible news at any moment.I find him in the kitchen making coffee with shaky hands, and he looks like he hasn’t slept at all. His hair is disheveled, there are dark circles under his eyes, and he keeps glancing around nervously like he’s afraid someone

  • My Bullies Are Twin Hockey Players   Chapter 163: Phone call 

    Tara’s POVJane nods, clearly pleased by my shocked reaction to her revelation about Sarah and Tony’s relationship.“Oh yeah, I got really interested in Sarah’s background after seeing how different she was from her old school photos,” Jane explains. “So I may have done some deep diving into her school profiles, yearbook entries, and local news articles from her previous town.”“You researched her?” I ask, impressed and slightly concerned by how thorough Jane’s investigation was.“I was curious,” Jane says defensively. “And what I found was really interesting. Apparently there was some big controversy that happened at her old school, and it resulted in Sarah’s complete social downfall.”My mind is racing as I try to process this information. A controversy that caused Sarah’s downfall would explain why she transferred to our school and why she’s so different from the popular girl in those photos.“What kind of controversy?” I ask, though I’m not sure I want to hear the answer.“I’m sti

  • My Bullies Are Twin Hockey Players   Chapter 162: Gasp 

    Tara’s POVWe spend a long time discussing our theories about Xavier’s mysterious girlfriend, each of us adding our own speculation about what kind of person would be willing to date someone as mean-spirited as him. The conversation flows naturally between us, and for the first time since I learned about what happened with Jasper, I feel like we’re getting back to our normal friendship dynamic.But as we’re talking, I notice the sun starting to get lower in the sky, and I realize that I’m running late getting back to the twins’ house. Their parents told me to be back early, and I don’t want to worry them or get in trouble for staying out too long.“I should probably head back soon,” I tell Jane and Zoey reluctantly. “I promised the twins’ parents I wouldn’t stay out late.”Before I leave though, Zoey leans forward with excitement in her eyes. “You know what? I think we should actually follow through on this idea to trail Xavier and find out who his girlfriend is.”“Really?” I ask, sur

  • My Bullies Are Twin Hockey Players   Chapter 161: Let's investigate

    Tara’s POV“Xavier called you a terrible person?” Zoey repeats, looking absolutely furious. “Who does he think he is to say something like that about you?”I can see that both of my friends are genuinely angry about what Xavier said, which makes me feel a little better about the whole situation. At least I know that the people who know me best don’t agree with his assessment of my character.“You are one of the nicest people I know,” Jane says firmly, reaching over to squeeze my hand. “Xavier was just saying those things because he hates you for some reason. None of it was true.”“Jane’s right,” Zoey agrees, nodding vigorously. “Xavier has always been weird and hostile toward you. He was probably just trying to hurt your feelings because he’s a bitter, miserable person.”I appreciate their support, but I can’t shake the impact that Xavier’s words had on me. “I know you’re right,” I tell them. “But I can’t seem to get it off my mind. Knowing that somebody hates me just for being myself

    Tara’s POVWhen I arrive at the park, Jane and Zoey are already there waiting for me. They both look nervous and guilty, fidgeting with their hands and avoiding direct eye contact when they see me approaching. As soon as I sit down, they quickly form a circle around me, both of them talking at once as they begin apologizing profusely for what happened at Jasper’s party.“Tara, we are so incredibly sorry,” Jane starts, her voice shaking with emotion. “What we did was completely stupid and thoughtless.”“We knew how complicated things were between you and the twins,” Zoey adds, her eyes filling with tears. “We knew you hated them, and we still went ahead and did something that we knew would hurt you if you ever found out.”They continue apologizing, both of them talking over each other in their desperation to make me understand how sorry they are. I can see the genuine remorse in their faces, the way their shoulders are slumped with shame, and the tears that are starting to form in bot

  • My Bullies Are Twin Hockey Players   Chapter 159: Not sure

    Tara’s POVI pace around my room frantically as I dial my mother’s number, my heart racing with worry and frustration. The phone rings several times before she picks up, and when she does, she sounds even more stressed than she did this morning.“Mom, are you okay?” I ask immediately, not bothering with pleasantries. “Dad said there was an emergency. What’s happening?”“Oh, honey, I’m so sorry about the change in plans,” my mother says, and I can hear exhaustion in her voice. “Something urgent came up that we have to handle immediately.”“What kind of emergency?” I press, needing to understand what’s so serious that it’s keeping them away for another entire week.My mother hesitates before answering. “It’s a work situation that requires us to travel unexpectedly. I can’t go into all the details right now, but it’s something that can’t wait.”The vagueness of her explanation only makes me more anxious. “Mom, you’re scaring me. Are you both safe? Is everyone okay?”“We’re fine, sweethea
