Liam's POV

I wanted to punch something. Preferably, someone. My blood boiled in my veins as I tightened my fists and tried my possible best to hold it together.

It took everything in me not to look over at Ava's direction on the other side of the room. I don't want to see the look of regret on her face. That was the last thing I wanted to see and I feel like she's the only thing holding me back from actually slamming my fist into Ethan's face at the moment so he would back away from her.

He's

  • Pucking The Forbidden    Chapter One Hundred and Fourteen

    Ethan's POV The past weeks have been going down in a blur for me. I don't know how I've been holding it together without crumbling. My emotions have been high and it's been difficult for me to keep the front of being a captain and lead my team to success. Especially without my best friend on it. I've come to terms with the fact that nothing can happen between us. But that does not make the pain leave and go away any faster. It was like telling him opened my eyes to reality fast enough for me to heal. Well, that was what I thought at first. Now I have to deal with the fact that the healing process is slow. Maybe it was because he was not here any longer. Maybe. I can't seem to stop myself from drinking and I've taken up the bad habit we had both stopped together years back and made a pact not to start again. I'm smoking. Packs and packs of cigarettes can be exhausted from my hands in a couple of hours. I'm spiraling and I know it. Maybe I need someone to talk about it too. B

    Ava's POV After that day, we did not talk again. I've not been able to shake off the feeling that he hates me now. I was damn sure of it. And I don't know if I would be able to continue my life like that. I couldn't reach out to him, even though I wanted to. Something told me that he had already blocked me. Another told to try it out and see if he actually did do it. There was something in his gaze the day we saw last that made me know that he was done. And I don't know how to explain myself. I don't know how to tell him that it was all my dad while I was the one who did the damage. How would that even make any sense? After two weeks of hell at work, I resigned. I don't know if interns actually resigned. But I've actually done more than enough to fill my log book up and when I went back to campus a couple of days back, my supervisor gave me my full mark which I was thankful for. That has to be the only good thing in my grey like right now. My heart hurts and I missed him so much.

  • Pucking The Forbidden    Chapter One Hundred and Twelve

    Ava's POV The bell echoed in the silent hallway of the penthouse that he lived in. There was no reply from the other end. I was tempted to actually punch in the code for the apartment and enter since I knew it. After a couple of minutes and I could not take it anymore, I opened the keypad and punched in the code. The door clicked that it was already opened. I knew he was at home. I ignore the fact that he might be sleeping, or he might have been avoiding me intentionally. We needed to talk. Fast. And right now. By the time I stepped into his apartment, the first thing that hit me was how disorganized the whole place was. Liam would normally not be like this. He's always organized to the core. Something is definitely up. “Liam?” I called out his name gently as I continued to look around. The place was dim and the only source of light was from the seventy inch flat screen tv that was playing a game. And from my guess, it was the one that happened today. The centre table had bottl

    Ava's POV “We need to talk dad.” I said coldly and climbed the stairs to his study. I did not bother to look at his face as I walked past him. I pushed the door open and the familiar smell of books hit me and tea? Well, that's new. My dad would normally not drink tea. But now, since his health has been teetering on the edge, he must have been compelled to start taking it and I'm sure it has the hand of Helen in it. “What do you want Ava? It's been a long day for me and you know it.” He said immediately he walked on and closed the double doors behind him. Thankfully. I don't want Helen listening to how rude I might be in the next couple of minutes. “You know why I'm here dad. Don't let us pretend. Let us get straight to the point.” I rested on the side of his table and looked directly at him as he rounded the table and dropped his bag on it and he sat down. He looked a little tired, but still hyper too. Well, that's good. “In all honesty, I don't know. So, how about you enlighten

    Ava's POV “Why was he not on the ice tonight?” I asked Ethan immediately he stepped out of the locker room. I had made it my mission to stay around when they weren't with the game. I did not care one bit that I might run into him after avoiding him all of the time. “I don't know Ava.” He said. And that alone made me know what I wanted to know. He knew why Liam was not here and he was only hiding it away from me. “You know I will not leave you alone until you actually tell me. So, why don't you get on with it?” I said to him, I already walked him in the park now. He dropped his duffel bag in the back of the car and was about to open the driver's side but I maneuvered my way in between to stop him from entering. “I'm not exactly in the mood for this, right now. I've had a long day and I need to rest.” He said to me, I knew that. I saw the press conference that they had after the game and even though I was not on duty to work today somehow, I was able to sense the tension in the r

  • Pucking The Forbidden    Chapter One Hundred and Nine

    Liam's POV Talking to coach after he called me back into his office is what I would describe as an unexpected turn of events. He said drugs were found in my locker in the random checks that happens normally. I knew that was not true because I have never touched drugs before in the entirety of my life. Not even when I was living and breathing where it was made. I never made that mistake at all. Which made me to go for testing and unfortunately for me, it came out positive. And Coach knows about it. I was not allowed to play until it was confirmed that I did not use it by myself and that I was set up like I claimed and told the board in the past couple of days. “As much as I don't like you at the moment and I want to get rid of you, I've known you almost all your career and know that you don't damble in all of those things. But there is nothing I can do to help you at moment. Just sit back and until the investigation is done.” He had said and patted me on the back. I tried to make

    Ava's POV We started to sneak around more often than usual. Not like we were doing so before, but we had our moments in the past. Right now, it was as though neither of us cared about being caught. Me for one, I've banished the thought and idea of being caught that used to hold me down in the pas

    Ava's POV I was playing with fire. And the sick part of this whole thing was that I knew. I knew deep down that by the time this whole thing boomerang in my face, I would not be able to hold it together. But then, I can't stop. I've tried. I mean, if trying to avoid him and stay away from him wa

    Ava's POV: “Come on babe. We could still be something. I'm not interested in Camden. Not anymore. The only reason why it happened then was because you neglected me for long. And I needed attention.” I heard her say. I stepped back and leaned on the wall to listen to their conversation. “Yeah. I k

    Ava's POV “Thank you so much for today. You have no idea how much it means to me.” I told him as I made myself comfortable on his chest, getting nearer to him like I actually wanted to enter him. He grunted. “It's not a big deal. And I told you not to say thank you to me again. I don't like it.”
