INICIAR SESIÓNMaren's povI shut the door to Gideon’s car.Deep down I hoped he would stop me or ask if he could come in…anything.But he didn't.I walked slowly towards the entrance, waiting for him to call me back or come out but no.Then I heard footsteps behind me, in excitement I turned thinking it was Gideon.But it wasn't him, It was someone I never expected to see.Dylan.My heart skipped as I stepped back, “What are you doing here?” I asked, trying to control my emotions.I can't let him see I am scared.“Too say hi” he said as he lunged forward and grabbed my arm, pulling me to him.“Let me go!,” I tried to yank his hand away but he was too strong.“Shhh” he warned, waving a small blade in my face.“Help!” I screamed, my tears pricking the back of my eyes.Dylan pressed the knife to my neck, “I said shut up!” He hissed, pushing me roughly against the floor.Tears rolled down my cheeks, “What do you want?” I asked, my voice shook with fear.“Just be good, Stand up and act like nothing is w
Gideon's pov I watched my teammates stake on the ice, passing around the puck.I missed the ice.It was my fault.I was stupid…“Gideon” I heard Jake called as he skated towards me, he had a smile on his face. “Hey,” I greeted,“It sucks that you're not here” Jake complained, “How long are they going to put you on hiatus?’“I don't know man, I messed up” I said, looking away.“Are the rumors considering you and Shirley real?” Jake asked softly.I was silent.I wasn't angry he was curious, I mean they all thought I love Maren not that I don't but I was stupid not to see Shirley.“I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked…” Jake apologized,“It's okay…some of it. It's complicated” I told him, Jake nodded.“You want to play around? I mean Coach won't mind that you are on the ice” Jake suggested.I smiled, “F**k yes, I will like that” He patted my shoulder before skating away.After changing into my gears and uniform I got into the ice and joined in their practice.Jaxon was a little surprised,
Maren’s povIt has been four days since the fire, The cops are carrying out an investigation and Abel had my paintings in repairs.It was stressful as I have to work closely with the people who wants to repair my paintings As for me and Gideon, The rumors had died down a little more And the dragging and insults were disappearing like they never happened.These days, Social media is not the place I want to be on.And what everyone is talking about is the trip to New York and the fire at the Gallery.After the dinner at the restaurant, Rylee kind of avoided me. Maybe she thinks I will ask her about Jaxon and I understand.She wasn't ready to talk about it.I wish I and Gideon had respected that.My phone rings, Abel was calling. He had called me yesterday to tell me that the monitors were fixed and the footage retrieved.I pressed the answer icon as fast as I could, “Hello?”“Maren, We have got a lead, They're confirming the suspect identity but you might need to come down to the pre
Gideon’s pov“Rylee! Wait!” Maren called after her friend,“You didn't tell he will be here!” Rylee yelled, “We just thought…” Maren said but is cut off by her friend,“You should’ve told me” Rylee said, Maren glanced at me.Shit, I ask her to do this.“Maren didn't know, I was the one who ask her to bring you along” I intercepted.“No that not true…” Maren said, trying to say the truth.“Maren” I stopped her, “But you can at least have this dinner with us and ignore him”“Why should I be the one to be ignored?” I heard Jaxon said, “I didn't fight her”I turned to him and shook my head at him, “Not the time” I said to him,“Maybe I should be angry too because you didn't tell she will be here? I shouldn't have come” Jaxon said, “Oh…noboby wants to see you” Rylee sassed, rolling her eyes.“Everyone calm down, Can we just have dinner together. Peacefully” I said,“Please…” Maren begged, Rylee sighed.“Okay” she said as she walked back to the table with Maren, the two of them sat beside
Maren’s pov My chest tightened as I looked at my paintings, Some were burnt at the edges, Others half of the pieces. They might be ruined beyond repair but my body stiffed when I reached the last one which is one of my favorites paintings. Also the one Dylan hates the most, it was damaged beyond repair, torn. It wasn't that burnt like the others. I held back a cry as my hand gripped the frame tightly. Why does it have to be damaged? Then it clicked. Dylan. It must be him, If there's no personal grudge with the fire why is my painting torn by blade. “I think I might know who did this,” I said, turning to Gideon and Abel. “Who do you think it might be?” Abel asked, From the look from Gideon’s face I could tell he already guessed. “My ex, Dylan” I answered, Abel frowned. “The last painting is my favorite and Dylan knows, he hates the painting…I think he might be the one because it was the only painting that was torn by blade” “Okay, Hold on let me call the detectiv
Gideon's pov I glanced at Maren, She looked devastated since the news of the fire at Gallery damaging some of her art. We don't know how much damage the fire cause or who started the fire or how the fire started but somehow it seems direct to Maren's art pieces. We had to leave New York early because the cops are investigating and would like to interrogate some few people, Maren is one of the few people who are called in for interrogation. I took her hand in mine, “It's okay” I assured, Maren nodded. I stopped my car In front of the city precinct, turning of the engine “Thank you,” Maren said softly, I smiled at her and we both stepped out and walked into the precinct, Maren taking away while I waited for her. Almost thirty minutes later, she came out. “Hey” I said as I pushed off the wall, “How was it?” “The detective said the accident might be made by a perpetrator, They asked if there's anyone I suspect” She answered, “Although I thought of Dylan but I don't want to think
GIDEON'S pov Rylee and Jaxon groan as they stand straight, Maren’s TV is destroyed beyond repair. I am not only the one who will fuck up this week. I grinned.“This is all your fault!” Rylee yelled, pushing back Jaxon. “You should have just let me have it,” she hissed.“Wait what! I took it first
Maren's povI could still feel Gideon's warm hands on my waist, his warm breath on my face and how he stabled me when I tripped as we ran to the other side of the rink.I laughed when he cut past me even though he let me start to race after I made it halfway to the rink.He cheered loudly when he r
Maren's pov.My heart dropped when I saw Gideon looking at my paintings. I held tightly onto the glass cup in my hands, I have always been insecure of my painting and my insecurities might have heightened after I got rejected by the Gallery.Where do you find these amazing paintings? Who is the art
Maren pov “And I am done” Jaxon slammed his chopsticks on the table, he just finished another bowl of chow mein noodles. He and Rylee decided to bet on who could finish two bowls of chow mein noodles faster. It was funny to watch but I enjoyed their batters. Gideon has been silent since we have
