Xavier's POV

The entire drive home, I couldn't stop thinking about Tara's words. ‘You will pay.’ What the hell did she mean by that? My hands were clenched as I replayed the morning over and over in my head.

Jasper sat beside me in complete silence, which was probably for the best. I was still trying to process everything that had happened. Finding Tara in his bed, the fight we'd had, and her overhearing our conversation about the drugs.

Fuck!

"Do you think she'll tell someone?" Jasper finally spoke as we pulled into our driveway.

I didn't answer immediately. Would she? Tara wasn't the type to tell anyone about things that happened to her; instead, she would plan her revenge, but I’m not sure if that would apply to this. She’s annoyed and angry this time.

"I don't know," I said finally.

Our parents' cars were in the driveway, which immediately put me on edge. Dad and Mom should be at work by now.

"Why are they both home?" Jasper asked, voicing my exact thoughts.

My stomach dropped.

  • My Bullies Are Twin Hockey Players   Chapter 51: Get lost 

    Tara’s POVI wake up in my room the next day and immediately notice that my legs feel really sore. As soon as I try to move, memories from yesterday come flooding back. I remember how Jake took me, everything he did to me, and it all keeps replaying in my mind like a movie I can’t turn off. My cheeks start blushing just thinking about it.I try to sit up in bed, but my legs feel so heavy and uncomfortable. This is strange because yesterday when I came back home, it wasn’t this painful. Maybe I was just running on adrenaline then, too excited and happy to notice how my body was feeling.I reach for my phone on the nightstand and log into Instagram to see if Jake has messaged me. My heart jumps when I see that he has. I quick

  • My Bullies Are Twin Hockey Players   Chapter 50: Taking her in. 

    Xavier’s POVHer lips were soft, too soft for someone like me. I kissed her like I was drowning, like I needed her to breathe. Every part of me shook, but I didn’t stop. I couldn’t.Then, slowly, she lifted my hand. My breath hitched, her eyes didn’t leave mine, and she placed my hand gently on her chest.I froze, and my heart stopped beating for a second.Her body was warm beneath my palm. Her chest rose and fell like she was just as breathless as I was. I looked down, then back at her. “Are you sure?” I whispered.She nodded. “Yes.” She answered.That

  • My Bullies Are Twin Hockey Players   Chapter 49: A coward. 

    Xavier’s POVI am more nervous than I have ever been in my entire life as I walk into the hotel room. My hands are shaking, and my heart is beating so fast I think it might explode. When I see Tara sitting on the bed, my whole world stops for a moment.She looks so beautiful sitting there in her dress. Her hair is done perfectly, and she has this shy smile on her face that makes my stomach do crazy things. I can’t believe she’s really here. I can’t believe I’m really doing this.“Jake?” Tara calls out my fake name, and my whole body shakes when I hear it. The guilt hits me like a punch to the chest, but I nod anyway. I quickly close the door behind me, my hands trembling as I turn the lock.I walked over to her with the flowers I bought and the gift box I spent hours picking out. My legs feel weak, and I’m worried I might trip or do something stupid.“These are for you,” I say, my voice coming out quieter than I wanted it to. I hand her the flowers first, and she smiles so brightly th

  • My Bullies Are Twin Hockey Players   Chapter 48: Failed plan

    Jasper’s POV I get myself ready for what I think will be the perfect revenge plan. I take extra time with my appearance, making sure I look good even though I won’t actually be the one going on this date. I check my hair in the mirror one more time before pulling out my phone to call Danny.“Hey Danny, don’t forget about our plan today,” I tell him when he picks up. Danny sounds nervous on the phone, asking me again if I’m sure this will work. I tell him yes, everything will go perfectly. I remind him that Tara really likes him and that’s why she agreed to meet up with me. Of course, that’s all lies, but Danny doesn’t need to know that.After I hang up with Danny, I go to find Xavier to see if he wants to come with me to watch this whole thing play out. But when I ask if he’ll be going with me, he says no immediately.I can’t help but notice how nervous Xavier looks. His hands are shaking a little bit, and he won’t look me directly in the eyes. He keeps fidgeting. “Are you sure you

  • My Bullies Are Twin Hockey Players   Chapter 47: Getting ready 

    Tara’s POVIt’s Saturday evening and I’m sitting in front of my mirror for what feels like the hundredth time today. I keep checking myself over and over again, asking myself if I look presentable enough. Do I look pretty? Do I look too desperate? Does my hair look okay? Is my makeup too much or not enough?But there’s no one here to answer all these questions that keep running through my head, so I grab my phone and go to our group chat. I started a video call with Zoey and Jane because I really need their help right now.“Girls, I need you to be completely honest with me,” I say as soon as they both answer the call. Their faces pop up on my screen, and I can see they’re both in their rooms too.“Oh my god, Tara, you look amazing!” Jane says immediately when she sees me. “Is this for your mystery date?”I turn my phone around so they can see my full outfit. I’m wearing a simple blue dress that I thought looked nice, but now I’m having second thoughts about everything.“Do you think I

  • My Bullies Are Twin Hockey Players   Chapter 46: How to go on a date without showing your real face. 

    Xavier's POVI look dumb as Tara walks away from me, but I can't follow her. In fact, I'm happy she walked away because I was about to break the news that I'm Jake to her. Thank god she rejected me because I would have exploded out of embarrassment by now. What was I even thinking? How could I tell her the truth like that in front of her friends?My heart is still pounding from almost making such a huge mistake. I can't imagine how she would have reacted if I had actually told her. She probably would have laughed in my face or gotten so angry that she would have slapped me right there. And then everyone would have seen it and known what an idiot I am.I'm standing there feeling confused and frustrated when Alex shows up beside me. He
