The Coach's Forbidden Play Chapter 101
Andrew's POV The sound of my sister’s voice that was usually a comforting melody, was a sharp, unrelenting knife in my chest. I sat there, a silent, unwilling participant in my own trial as Amelia laid out the case against me. She had a point, a powerful one at that and the logic in her argument was suffocating. I couldn't argue with the truth, only felt the cold weight of it pressing down on me."Andrew, you have to end this," she said again, her voice softening slightly but her resolve unwavering. "I'm not trying to be the bad guy here, I just... I can't stand by and watch you make a mistake that will destroy your relationship with your daughter. This relationship with Sage, it's not worth it."I looked away, my gaze fixed on a distant point in the garden, anything to avoid the accusing look in my twin’s eyes. "I know, Amelia," I mumbled, the words feeling hollow even to me. "I've... I've thought about it. But for now, I'm just going with the flow. I don't want to think about the f

Sage's POV Rina and I walked together to the cafeteria, the tension of the classroom replaced with a strange, new camaraderie. We grabbed our trays and found a quiet table in a corner, away from the usual chatter of students."So," Rina said, her voice low, a mischievous glint in her eyes. "What's the plan? You have his attention. Now what are you going to do?"I let out a short, cold laugh. "You'll have to wait and see," I replied, a confidence I didn't entirely feel masking the tremor of fear beneath the surface.Rina didn't press for details, which I appreciated. Her curiosity was piqued but she seemed content to watch the show unfold. Our conversation shifted to our upcoming basketball training, a safe topic that allowed us to talk without delving into the complicated matter.As we spoke, my eyes involuntarily drifted across the cafeteria. I spotted Pauline at a table with her cheerleading friends, a bright, genuine smile on her face as she laughed at something one of them said.

Sage's POV The next day, a renewed sense of purpose hardened my resolve. The guilt was still there, a constant ache but it was now overshadowed by a cold determination to make things right. Pauline had cheerleading practice and I had Professor Benjamin's class. I knew what I had to do.As I walked down the hallway, the usual chatter of students seemed to fade into the background. I was on a mission and every nerve ending was on high alert. Just then, Rina came up beside me, her footsteps matching mine."Hey," she said, her voice unusually neutral. "You coming to basketball training today?"I nodded, keeping my expression even. "Yeah, I'm heading there now."She studied me for a moment, her eyes taking in my outfit. Instead of my usual practice gear, I was wearing tight leggings and a form-fitting tank top under a light hoodie—an outfit that, as I had planned, drew a little more attention than usual."Why are you dressed like that?" Rina asked, a hint of suspicion in her tone. "It's a

Sage's POV The tension in Pauline’s body slowly began to recede. The fiery rage had been extinguished, leaving behind a raw vulnerability that broke my heart. She met my gaze, the hard, defensive shell she had built around herself finally cracking."Please, Pauline," I said, my voice soft, "let's just talk. We can't let this end here."She stood there for a long moment, a storm of conflicting emotions swirling in her eyes. Then, with a deep sigh, she nodded slowly. "Okay," she said, her voice quiet. "Okay, let's talk."We walked back into the house and Amelia, sensing the change in the air, gave us a small, understanding smile. We bypassed the dining room and went to the porch, a secluded, comfortable space that overlooked the back garden. The soft glow of the evening light cast a peaceful haze over the yard, a stark contrast to the storm that had just passed. We sat on a cushioned bench, the silence between us heavy but no longer hostile."I'm sorry, Sage," Pauline finally began, he

Sage's POV The silence that followed Pauline's words was deafening, a vacuum where our friendship used to be. My heart hammered against my ribs, each beat a drum of guilt and regret. I knew she was right. I knew I had failed her but I couldn't just sit there and accept her condemnation without at least trying to explain."Pauline, please," I began, my voice thick with emotion, "I know you have every right to be mad at me. I've been so caught up in my own mess that I didn't see what was happening to you. I'm so, so sorry. I know I messed up but please, just let me—""Stop, Sage!" she snapped, her voice cracking with the force of her anger. She pushed her chair back with a loud screech, the sound echoing through the otherwise quiet dining room. "This is exactly what I was talking about. This isn't going to work. This whole forced dinner, you trying to pretend like everything is fine, it's just a joke!"She stood up, her eyes blazing with a mixture of pain and fury. I watched, my heart

Sage's POV The walk home from the coffee shop was a blur, my mind a chaotic whirlwind of guilt, anger and a terrifying new fear. Pauline's silent suffering, Professor Benjamin's predatory gaze and my own glaring ignorance—it all weighed on me like a heavy, suffocating blanket of dread. I replayed Chloe's words over and over, each syllable a fresh cut. I had been so lost in my own world, so consumed by my own problems that I had completely failed to see the danger lurking right under my nose, a danger that had been preying on the person I was supposed to care about most.As I rounded the corner to my apartment building, my phone buzzed in my hand. I glanced at the screen and my heart did a strange lurch. It was Andrew. My first instinct was to ignore it. The last thing I felt capable of doing was engaging in another complicated conversation. My relationship with Pauline felt like a smoldering ruin and the thought of facing Andrew, the man at the center of so much of my recent turmoil,
