The mansion is quiet when I get back.No staff bustling around, no sounds of conversation, nothing. Just silence that echoes off the high ceilings and makes me feel small in all this space.I head straight to my room and close the door behind me, leaning against it for a moment like I can physically block out everything that happened today. Crew's hands on my shoulders. His threat about the tutoring. That word—sis—dripping with mockery in front of

My Hockey Bully Stepbrother Chapter 103
Summer's PovThe house was quiet when I walked in, which was the best possible thing it could have been.No one in the hallway. No one in the sitting room. The dining room was empty. I could hear something faint from upstairs, music maybe, or a television, but nothing close enough to intercept me, and I moved fast, head down, bag over my shoulder, straight for the staircase like a woman with a plan.I made it to my room without seeing a single person.I closed the door behind me and stood there for a second in the quiet and felt the specific relief of someone who had successfully avoided something they were not ready for. Small victory. I would take it.The birthday dress went straight onto the hanger where it belonged, and I smoothed it out and hung it properly and turned around, and that was when I saw them.Gifts. Stacked on the other side of the room, on and around the chair by the window, a proper pile of them, wrapped things in different sizes, bags with tissue paper sticking ou

Summer's Pov Tyler's clothes were exactly what I expected them to be.Clean, soft, completely practical, zero personality. The joggers had a small logo on the left leg and the shirt was plain grey and they fit the way oversized things fit when the person they belong to is significantly taller than you, which meant the shirt came halfway down my thighs and the joggers needed the drawstring pulled tight. I looked like I had borrowed clothes from someone, which was exactly what I had done, and somehow they were the most comfortable things I had worn in recent memory.I brushed my hair out and found Tyler's lotion on the bathroom shelf again and used it generously, because it smelled good and I had no shame about it, and then I looked at myself in the mirror for a moment. Puffy eyes, mostly gone. The mascara situation, fully resolved. I looked like a person who had slept well and eaten good food and cried all of yesterday out of their system, which was accurate.My phone had been going s

Tyler's PovSummer fell asleep like it was the easiest thing in the world.One minute she was talking, something about how she hoped Gray had the sense to collect her birthday gifts from the venue, and then her voice just trailed off mid-sentence and she was gone. Out completely. Her breathing evened out and her whole face went soft and I lay there in the dark beside her and stared at the ceiling and felt very, very awake.I picked up my phone. Put it down. Picked it up again.I lasted about twenty minutes before I gave up on sleeping entirely, got up as quietly as I could, and grabbed my textbooks from the desk.Exams were coming faster than any of us were ready for, and on top of that the national tournament was bearing down on us like a freight train, practices scheduled on top of practices, coach running drills until people's legs gave out. The timing was genuinely terrible. But that was the deal, that had always been the deal, and I had never once used it as an excuse to fall beh

Summer's PovDinner with Tyler was the kind of meal that made you forget you'd been crying an hour earlier.We talked too loud and laughed at things that weren't that funny and somewhere in the middle of the dan dan noodles he did an impression of Marcus from the party that was so accurate and so uncharitable that I choked on my food and had to put my chopsticks down to recover. He patted my back helpfully and looked completely innocent about it.By the time we cleared the table we had somehow also finished the garlic bread, most of the mac and cheese, and approximately half the congee, which Tyler had insisted I try even though I told him I wasn't a congee person, and then I had two bowls of it and said nothing."You don't have to help with the dishes," Tyler said, rolling up his sleeves at the sink.I was already stacking plates. "Absolutely not.""Summer, it's your birthday.""Which you made memorable," I said. "So there is no version of this where I sit on the couch and watch you

Summer's Pov The lights were on when we pulled up to Tyler's house, warm yellow spilling out from the front windows onto the driveway."Mom and dad are still up," Tyler said, more to himself than to me, and cut the engine.I pulled down the sun visor mirror out of habit and immediately regretted it. My eyes were puffy, my mascara had staged a full migration down both cheeks, and my nose was still slightly pink. I looked like someone who had cried in a moving vehicle for twenty minutes, which was accurate.I flipped the mirror back up.We got out and Tyler pushed the front door open, and the first thing I heard was the television, and the first person I saw was Mrs. Chen, who turned around from the kitchen counter with a dish towel in her hand and her face already moving into a smile."Oh, Tyler, you're—" She stopped. Her eyes landed on me. "Summer! Happy birthday, sweetheart." She crossed the kitchen in about four steps and pulled me into a hug that was considerably tighter than I ha

Summer's Pov Tyler pulled over before I could ask him to. He didn't say anything. He just put the car in park, turned slightly in his seat, and opened his arms. I fell into them. I don't know how long I sat there sobbing into his chest like a child, ugly crying, the kind with sounds you can't control and breathing that comes in stutters, and Tyler just held me through all of it. His hand on the back of my head. His chin resting against my hair. Not shushing me, not telling me to calm down, not asking questions. Just there, solid and warm and completely unmoved by the mess of me. "I'm here," he said quietly. "I've got you." I couldn't even respond. I just kept crying. At some point I started sneezing on top of it, which was humiliating, and Tyler got out of the car and came back thirty seconds later with a small packet of tissues he'd pulled from somewhere in the glove compartment. He crouched next to my open door and handed them over. I blew my nose. Loudly. Twice.
