Gray's Pov

Crew was talking and I was genuinely trying to follow what he was saying.

Something about what he saw. Something about an explanation. I sat in my chair and looked at my brother and felt the familiar frustration of reaching for context that wasn't there, like trying to grab smoke.

"I don't know what you're referring to," I said. "What exactly did I see?"

The girl beside him spoke up before Crew could answer and I turned to look at her properly for the first time. She was pretty in a

  • My Hockey Bully Stepbrother    Chapter 92

    Summer's PovRuby's idea of a party for two was apparently identical to her idea of a party for twenty.She had music going before we even changed out of our clothes, something loud and familiar bouncing off the walls of her big empty house, and she was already spinning around her room pulling pajamas out of her drawer and throwing a pair at my face."Change," she said. "We're getting comfortable and we're never leaving this house tonight.""I was already comfortable.""More comfortable." She pointed at the pajamas now on my lap. "Put them on."I put them on.Ruby's room was warm and cluttered in the best way, fairy lights strung up along the headboard, photos taped to the mirror, a dozen half-finished bottles of nail polish lined up on her dresser like little soldiers. It smelled like her perfume and something faintly floral and being in it felt like stepping back into something I hadn't realized I'd been missing.She declared we were making food first and dragged me downstairs to th

  • My Hockey Bully Stepbrother    Chapter 91

    Summer's PovRuby was standing in the middle of my room with one hand on her hip and the other holding my packed bag, looking at me like she had just finished a masterpiece."Summer," she said. "You look so beautiful right now I genuinely cannot handle it. If I walk into a room with you tonight every single man in there is going to look at you and I am going to be standing right there picking out the best one.""Ruby.""I'm serious. This is my purpose. This is what I was put on this earth to do."I laughed and it came out easy, the kind that started in your chest and just happened without any effort, and I realized I had missed this so much. Not just Ruby but this specific feeling of laughing at something that wasn't that funny but was exactly funny enough."Are you ready?" she said."Yes.""Good." She lifted my bag with a dramatic little bow. "My queen does not carry her own luggage tonight. I am making up for lost time.""You are so embarrassing.""You missed this.""I did," I admit

    Summer's Pov I stayed out longer than I planned.It started as a quick stop, just one or two things, and then I was walking through the store and the money was sitting in my account and for the first time in my life I thought, why not. I had never really shopped for myself before. Not properly. My mom had always been practical about money in a way that made me practical too, even when there wasn't a reason to be anymore.I bought things I actually wanted and it felt strange and good at the same time.By the time James dropped me back at the house the sun was already going low and the driveway was empty. No Crew's car. No Gray's car. Just the quiet house sitting there with all its lights off.I stood at the door with my bags and looked at the empty driveway for a moment.I almost called Crew.The impulse was there before I could stop it, that automatic reach, and then I remembered the cafe corridor and his hand in Brianna's and good night Summer said from across a desk with nothing be

    Crew's Pov Ruby's plan was not bad.I sat in the car after she left and turned it over in my head and the bones of it were solid. Surprise party, gifts, get Summer out of the house so everything could be set up, bring her back to something she wasn't expecting. Simple and clean. Summer had mentioned about never actually celebrating her birthday.That last part sat with me more than I expected it to.Eighteen years and nobody had thrown her a proper birthday. Not once.I drove home and changed out of my uniform and went to find Gray.His tutor was just leaving when I got upstairs. I knocked and pushed the door open and Gray was at his desk, sketchbook open, pencil in hand, still in his school clothes which meant he had gone straight to the session the second he got in.He looked up."You're still in uniform," he said. "That means something happened.""It can wait two seconds." I leaned against the doorframe. "Why don't you come to school? Genuinely. You just stay here and get tutored

    Crew's PovThe test was not as bad as I expected.I sat in that classroom and worked through every question and I knew my answers were solid. Not perfect maybe, but solid. The kind of solid that came from actually sitting down and reading the material instead of cramming the night before, which was not something I had historically been great at.Summer's tutoring sessions were doing something whether I wanted to admit that or not.I put my pen down when time was called and leaned back and Marcus immediately leaned forward from the row behind me."Bro. You were writing like your life depended on it. When have you been studying without us?""When was he supposed to study with us?" Jason said from beside him. "We don't even live together.""That's not the point.""That is literally the point."I laughed and it felt good, easy, the kind of laugh that didn't require anything from me.Brianna was beside me gathering her things and she smiled at both of them. "My boyfriend is going to top th

  • My Hockey Bully Stepbrother    Chapter 87

    Summer's Pov Lunch was supposed to be just us.That was the thing. Tyler and I had a whole system, a whole routine, and it had always just been the two of us and that was exactly how it worked. We didn't need a third person. We had never needed a third person.But Tyler was still talking to Susan when I picked up my tray and he looked at her and then at me and said, "Susan can come with us, right?"It wasn't even a question really. It came out like it was already decided.Susan turned to me with this carefully polite expression, the kind that was leaving the door open for me to object if I wanted to. "I hope that's okay? I don't want to intrude."Every reasonable part of me knew the correct response."Of course," I said. "I don't mind at all."I minded enormously.We found our usual table and I set my tray down and looked up to find that Susan had sat down beside Tyler, which meant Tyler was now beside Susan and across from me, and the geometry of the whole thing felt like something
