Trevor scoffs, and the pained look in his eyes intensifies before he shakes his head.

“That’s not what we meant, Trevor,” I whisper as he enters into the office fully and shuts the door.

“I need this, Gracie. No matter what you two think of me…I need to make sure I get my spot back on my team and play in the finals. This is about my career and not what anyone thinks about me. I don’t believe in love, yes…I think it’s a foolish concept made up by high school kids and it never lasts. But everyone else seems to think otherwise and I can’t control what they think, but I can control my fate in the club.”

Trevor closes the distance between us, and his nearness makes me forget my brother is in the room. I inhale the whiff of his scent and tremble because of it.

“It’s not going to work,” I murmur, holding my breath because of the dizziness climbing through me.

“But what would it hurt to try?” He looks at me solemnly, and I kind of feel pity for him. I mean, if he’s this desperate to change ho

    GracieTrevor leans towards me till I feel his weight on my shoulders, and we’re both quiet as I lead him to his room. Then I help him sit on the bed first before letting out a deep breath.“Thanks,” he whispers, grabbing my wrist just as I turn away from him. He stirs me to face him again, and I lick my lips before meeting his gaze. “Thanks for everything, Gracie,” he murmurs. “I mean it.”There’s nothing I can say to him at that moment as our gazes linger. My heart thuds so fast, my lungs can’t keep up, and the swoony feeling that clouds my judgment each time he’s near worsens.“I’ll make us something to eat,” I say through the lump in my throat, then slowly peel my hand out of his.Minutes later, while I’m in the kitchen, Trevor limps in slowly and pulls out a chair for himself.“You’re supposed to keep your weight off that leg,” I scold in a light tone, shaking my head when he flashes me a cheeky grin. “Don’t play cute with me. You should obey your doctor’s instructions so you get

    TrevorSome days later, the media frenzy subsides, and it’s easier to get around my activities without the rush of the paparazzi trying to get a bite from me each time I step outside of my Manhattan Penthouse.I haven’t heard from Billy since the news broke out, and it’s my first time at practice since then. A few of my teammates whisper amongst themselves when we take a three-minute break, and I spot Billy with a few other guys across the court while I’m bouncing my ball on the ground and trying to hold my cool.Joe, another team player, walks over to me and nudges me in the shoulder a little. “You okay, man?” he asks, eyeing me casually before gulping from his water bottle.My glare stays pinned on Billy, and Joe notices this before he shakes his head. “Billy’s not the guy you should go around spilling secrets to,” he says as he glances from me to Billy, then back to me again. “He’s uncontrollable when he’s drunk, and you never know who he yaps all of your secrets to, man. Don’t be

    Our gazes merge into one and for a second while he stares at me, it feels like he would say something, but instead, he moves, wraps his arms around me, and brings me close to his chest for a hug.I stiffen at first, unable to move as I’m pressed against his chest. Trevor smooths a hand down my back, then over my hair, and presses me close to him for a long time. He shocks me when he presses a kiss to my forehead, and his lips linger for longer than a moment.The insanely tender gesture leaves me with a flutter of hope in my heart. A part of me wants to believe that all of this means he has feelings for me. Eight years ago, I believed he did, but I was wrong.Being in his arms now makes me hope that it’s different this time, and I cling to that tiny shred of hope even though there is a great chance that Trevor will never care for me in the same way.***A week later, we’re at another interview with the popular sports media team, and Trevor is the life of the show. The audience applauds

    GracieThere’s a crowd perched outside Trevor’s house, and his phone has been buzzing non-stop while he paces around the living room.“This is crazy,” Trevor says to someone on the other end. “Can’t you get them out of here, man? And where the heck is Billy? What did he say?”I try to focus on the media pages I’ve been scouting through. There are a million articles about me posted already, and my brother Jace hasn’t been spared in all of this.Sources tell us that the basketballer’s best friend was also a key player in this ploy. The fake marriage was orchestrated to get the star player into signing a deal that will benefit Gracie and her family.“They take the truth and they twist it,” I mutter under my voice, and Trevor pauses in his pacing to look at me. Our eyes meet briefly, and the flicker of confusion in his makes me sigh.I avert my eyes from his and nibble on my lower lip. After overhearing his conversation with his friends the other night, I keep rethinking why I’m here tryi

    TrevorGracie is the only thing I think about. After my outburst in the kitchen, my friends and I decided to spend the night playing video games and drinking. It’s a usual boys' hang-out theme, and I prefer to have their company around tonight because it’ll help distract my thoughts from the woman driving me insane in the next room.My boys are enjoying the game while we’re in the living room, and I’m nursing my can of soda, watching them play while trying to analyze my thoughts.I never should have told her about my parents, I think with a deep sigh. I’ve never wanted Gracie to see me as weak or broken. Now that she knows about my past, she might think I’m living with a deep scar in my heart. I’ve never wanted her to see me as weak or broken, so I’ve never explained this to her.The truth is, my parents lived their lives and made their mistakes. I don’t intend to make the same mistakes and allow myself to experience the same hurt my mother endured. My fear constantly nags me. What if

    Tears brim in his eyes as he speaks, and he lets out a pained sigh before backing away from me. “My father beat my mother so bad, sometimes she couldn’t see when she ended up in the hospital. He was never faithful, he never cared about me or her…and when he finally left, I thought it would be better. She was too broken to even realize she was wasting away in his absence. She loved him that much, Gracie. She loved him to death, and it ruined her!”His chest assumed heavy breathing, and watching his expression crumble as he withdrew from me sent a searing ache right through my chest.I move to him without hesitating, wanting to only comfort him.“Trevor…”“I never talk about this,” he says as he squeezes his eyes shut and lets out another deep breath. “Jace’s the only one who knows about this. He knows me better than anyone. He knows why I’ve vowed to never let myself love anyone and be weak.”My arms move around his body before he can withdraw from me completely. Trevor stiffens as I e
