Summer's Pov

I stepped out onto the balcony and just stood there breathing.

The morning air was cool and everything outside looked completely normal, like the world had not noticed that I had completely lost my mind the night before. Birds. Quiet street. Normal sky.

I was glad it was the weekend. That was the one thing I could be genuinely grateful for right now because if I had to sit in a classroom today and look like a person who had her thoughts in order, I would have failed spectacularly.

  • My Hockey Bully Stepbrother    Epilogue

    Summer’s POVI woke up before anyone else.That was the first thing. The room was still dim, the early morning light coming through the curtains in thin lines, and everything was quiet in the specific way that only exists before the day has decided what it wants to be.I lay still for a moment and just looked at the ceiling.Crew was on my left, one arm across his face, breathing slowly, completely out. Tyler was on my right, on his stomach, face turned toward me, the kind of deep sleep that meant he was not moving for a while. Gray was at the edge of the bed, lying on his back, one hand resting on his chest, looking more peaceful than I had seen him look in a long time.I looked at all three of them.Then I looked at the ceiling again.I thought about the girl who had walked into Richard Ashford’s house with a single bag and a stomach condition and so much quiet anger she did not know what to do with it. The girl who had stood in a hallway that first morning thinking about how large

    Summer’s PovCrew looked at me for a long second after Tyler spoke. Then he smiled that small, knowing smile.“You’re all prepared for us,” he said. “We should be prepared for you too. Let’s go shower.”He turned to Tyler. “I’ll use the bathroom in the main bedroom. You take the one down the hall.”Tyler nodded and walked off without another word. Crew kissed my forehead once and followed him toward the other side of the apartment.I stood there alone in the living room for a minute, heart beating too fast. I could hear water start running in both bathrooms. I walked to the kitchen, drank some water, then went back to my room and sat on the edge of the bed. My hands were shaking a little. This was really happening. All of it.After a while the water stopped. Crew came out first, towel around his waist, hair still damp. Tyler followed a minute later in the same state. They both looked at me like they already knew exactly what they wanted.Crew walked over and pulled me up from the bed.

    Summer’s PovI finished my last class and called Ruby the second I stepped outside.She picked up on the first ring. I told her everything. Naomi. The walk. And then Crew.Ruby screamed so loud I had to pull the phone away from my ear.“Summer! You cannot just drop that on me like it’s normal! He had his hands under your shirt? His fingers inside you? In a public building? I am going to die. I am actually going to die.”I laughed. “You’re dramatic.”“I’m your best friend. Being dramatic is my job. Tell me more. Did you come?”“Almost. Footsteps stopped us.”She groaned. “I hate footsteps. I hate them so much. Okay, go. But text me later. I need updates.”We hung up. I was still smiling when Naomi walked up.“Hey,” she said. “You heading to the dorms?”“No. I don’t stay in the dorms. I have an apartment off campus.”Her eyes got big. “For real? That’s so nice. I wish I was like you.”I didn’t know what to say. Once upon a time that apartment felt like a big deal. Now it just felt norma

    Summer’s PovI could not stop thinking about what Crew had said.All day. Every lecture, every corridor walk, every time I tried to pay attention to something that actually mattered for my degree. The words just sat there in the back of my head refusing to move.Meet me there after lectures.I was going to have a very difficult semester if this was how it started.I was standing outside after the last session of the day, checking my phone, when someone tapped my shoulder.I turned around.A girl. Bright eyes, natural hair, the easy confidence of someone who introduced themselves to strangers without overthinking it.“Hi,” she said. “I’m Naomi.”“Summer,” I said.“I have been seeing you around today. We are in the same major.” She tilted her head. “I have been looking for someone to walk around campus with. Someone to just, you know, navigate all of this with. Would you want to be friends?”I looked at her for a second.She had an honest face. The kind that did not hide much.“Yeah,” I

    Summer’s PovI was genuinely glad I had sent Tony away when I did.Because the look on Crew’s face when Tony had been standing there was the look of a person who was approximately four seconds from saying something that would have complicated our entire first day at college significantly. I knew that look. I had catalogued it over months of living in the same house as him.Crew left alone with a sentence was dangerous. Crew left alone with a sentence about me was catastrophic.Tony had no idea how well things had gone for him.“So you want to see him again,” Crew said. “See you around. That is what you said.”“It is a normal thing people say when a conversation ends.”“What was he even talking to you about?”“Classes. Schedules. Orientation stuff.”Crew looked at me. “There are hundreds of people at this orientation. He could not find a single other person to ask about classes. It had to be you specifically.”“Crew.”“I am asking a genuine question.”“He was just being friendly.”“He

    Crew’s PovAfter the call ended I sat on my bed for a moment.“She is very beautiful,” I said.Tyler, who was still on his own end of the call before we ended it, just said, “Yeah.”We said goodnight and that was that.I showered, got into the bed in my new apartment, and lay there in the quiet thinking about the fact that Summer was in a building twenty minutes away and tomorrow I was going to see her and somehow that felt like the best thing I had heard all day.****I was up early.Showered, dressed, texted Summer before I had even fully decided to.How was your night?Her reply came faster than I expected for someone I assumed would sleep in. Fine. Slept well actually. First night in my own place.I typed back, Can’t wait to see you.I drove to her building.Tyler was already there when I pulled up, which was annoying in the specific way that things are annoying when you cannot actually be annoyed about them.Summer came out of the building a minute later.I looked at her. Then I l
