My Bully Next Door epilogue
EllaFour Years Later“Beckett Cross, if you drop that box, I swear to God I’m leaving you.”“Nice to know your love is conditional.”“That’s my diploma in there!”“It’s wrapped in approximately seventeen layers of bubble wrap, Ella. I could throw it off the roof and it would survive.”“Would you like to test whether our relationship would?”He grins at me over the enormous cardboard box in his arms.“God, I’ve missed your threats.”“You heard three of them during breakfast.”“Exactly. It’s been hours.”I roll my eyes and unlock the front door.After four years of college, countless road trips, missed phone calls, football games, exams, and more video chats than I care to count, we’re finally standing in front of our first apartment.Together.No dorm rooms.No eight-hour drive between our hometown and my college.No trying to coordinate schedules around football practice and psychology lectures.Just us.And approximately thirty-seven boxes.Most of which Beckett insists are mine.He
My Bully Next Door Chapter 167
BeckettI’ve discovered that college football coaches are sadists.Not regular sadists, either. Professional ones with whistles, clipboards, and an unhealthy obsession with making eighteen-year-old guys run until their lungs threaten to resign.“Cross! You planning to finish that sprint today?”I push harder, ignoring the burning in my legs.“Yes, Coach!”“Then move like it!”By the time practice ends, I’m pretty sure my body has filed a formal complaint.I collapse onto the bench beside my roommate, Tyler, who looks like he’s considering whether transferring to a school without a football program would be considered cowardice.“I think I saw God during that last sprint,” he mutters.“Did he offer you water?”“No. He told me my footwork sucked.”I laugh, then immediately regret it because my ribs hurt.College football is nothing like high school.At Oakridge, I was the quarterback everyone knew. The guy people expected to win games. The one whose name got shouted from the bleachers.
My Bully Next Door Chapter 166
EllaI’ve discovered something important about moving to college.You don’t realize how much useless crap you own until you try fitting it into the trunk of a car.“Ella, why are we bringing a lamp when the dorm already has lights?”I look at Mom over the roof of her car.“Because I don’t want my room looking like a hospital.”“And the three blankets?”“One is decorative.”“And the other two?”“Emotional support.”She closes her eyes.“I’m raising a lunatic.”“An educated lunatic.”“Not yet. We still have four years to get through.”I grin and shove another bag into the trunk.Somehow, everything fits.Barely.Mom insists we leave before sunrise because she wants plenty of time to get me settled at North Ridge. Personally, I think she’s worried that if we leave too late, she’ll change her mind and lock me in my bedroom.I wouldn’t put it past her.Especially after catching her crying over my old kindergarten drawings last night.When we finally pull away from the house, I look back.M
My Bully Next Door Chapter 165
EllaThere are certain things nobody tells you about the summer before college.For example, everyone suddenly wants to spend quality time with you.Your mother starts asking if you want to go grocery shopping together, even though you’ve spent eighteen years trying to avoid that particular activity. Your best friend insists on making memories, which apparently involves taking embarrassing pictures in public. And your boyfriend develops an alarming habit of looking at you like you’re about to disappear.I’m not disappearing.I’m going to college.Although, judging by the way Beckett has been acting lately, you’d think I was being shipped to another planet.“Stop staring at me.”“I’m not.”“You’ve been watching me eat fries for five minutes.”“Maybe I’m fascinated.”“By potatoes?”“By you eating potatoes.”I look across the diner booth at him.“You seriously need a hobby.”“I have one. Football.”“Find another.”He grins and steals a fry from my plate.I smack his hand.“Thief.”“Shari
My Bully Next Door Chapter 164
BeckettThere’s something seriously wrong with my little brother.He’s standing in the middle of my bedroom holding a tape measure, a notebook, and what looks suspiciously like a floor plan.“What the hell are you doing?”Mason doesn’t even look guilty.“Measuring.”“I can see that. Why?”He stretches the tape measure across my dresser.“I’m figuring out where my stuff will go.”“Your stuff?”“When you leave.”I stare at him.“You’re not getting my room.”“Mom said we could discuss it.”“Discussing isn’t getting.”He writes something in his notebook.“Your bed is bigger than mine.”“Excellent observation.”“And your closet.”“Another brilliant discovery.”“And you have a bathroom.”“Are you planning to move in while I’m sleeping?”He considers this.“No. That would be rude.”At least he has standards.I grab the tape measure.“Get out.”“But—”“Mason.”He sighs like I’m ruining his entire future.“Fine. But when you’re at college, I’m taking your gaming chair.”“Touch my chair and I’l
My Bully Next Door Chapter 163
EllaI have officially decided that graduation gowns were invented by someone who hated women.“Why does this thing make me look like a refrigerator?”Lila looks up from where she’s sitting cross-legged on my bedroom floor.“A very educated refrigerator.”“That’s not helping.”“An intelligent appliance with excellent career prospects.”I turn toward the mirror.The dark blue gown hangs from my shoulders like an enormous garbage bag. The cap is somehow worse. No matter how I position it, I look like I’m either graduating or about to deliver newspapers in 1923.Lila gets up and adjusts the tassel.“Stop making that face.”“This is my face.”“Then stop having it.”I laugh and swat her hand away.Graduation is tomorrow, and Lila has decided we need a trial run of everything, including hairstyles, makeup, and whether we can walk in our shoes without falling.She’s currently failing that last category.“Are you seriously wearing those heels?” I ask.She looks down at the silver shoes beside
My Bully Next Door Chapter 4
Ella The house is quiet when I walk in. It always is. The front door shuts behind me with a soft click, and the silence settles over everything before I even take another step. It’s the kind of silence that feels too big for one person. Heavy. Familiar. Waiting. “Mom?” I call anyway. Nothing.
My Bully Next Door Chapter 3
Beckett She wasn’t supposed to talk back. That was the problem. That was the thought that had been stuck in my head all damn day, circling around and around no matter how many times I told myself to drop it. Not practice. Not class. Not Coach ripping into me twice because I missed a route I co
My Bully Next Door Chapter 2
Ella By lunch, everybody knows. Of course they do. News travels through our school faster than wildfire, especially when it involves someone people actually care about. Or in this case, someone people definitely care about and someone they usually pretend doesn’t exist. I know before anyone say
My Bully Next Door Chapter 1
Ella “Hey, James. Did your closet finally lose a fight with a dumpster?” Laughter broke out behind me. I didn’t turn around. That was rule number one. Actually, it was the only rule that really mattered. Don’t react. Don’t engage. And whatever you do, don’t let them see it hurts. The hallwa
