It had been a week since Vienna pushed me.Seven days since the hospital lights, the headache, the whispers, the video that somehow disappeared from the internet but not from people’s memories. Seven days since Ronan started looking at me like he was afraid I’d vanish if he blinked too long.And seven days of me pretending everything was fine.I wasn’t avoiding him completely. I couldn’t… not when tutoring was still a thing and Professor Reyes was b

Where the ice melts Holding the line
We are done, Ivy,” he said, his voice flat, final. “You wanted me to say it in person… There it is. I’m breaking up with you.”My chest tightened like someone had grabbed it and squeezed. “If you didn’t hear me clearly in English,” he added, voice still cold, “let me say it in Spanish.. Estoy rompiendo contigo.”I froze. My breath caught. The words stung worse than anything else.Then I heard a voice calling out his name.Vienna. Of course, it had to be her. She strutted toward us, a smirk on her lips, eyes gleaming with that mocking, knowing look. She wrapped her hand around his waist… and then he kissed her.I felt like the ground had disappeared beneath me. My stomach churned, my legs felt weak, and all the air seemed to leave my lungs.“Are you done here?” she asked, still smirking, her voice dripping with mockery.“Yeah, I’m done,” he said, barely looking at me. Then he turned and walked to his car.He drov
Where the ice melts Signal in the night
IVY POVZoe nudged me, her grin teasing but firm. “The game is over. Go talk to him. You’re going to regret it if you don’t.”I shook my head, my stomach twisting. “I… I can’t go in there. The locker room…too many guys. I just…” My voice trailed off.Zoe rolled her eyes, standing up. “Then wait for him outside. Simple. Go. You’ve got this.”So, I did.I walked to the park lot behind the rink and leaned against Zoes car, trying to calm my racing heart. The cool night air did little to steady the fluttering in my chest. My hands twisted in my hoodie strings, my mind spinning with everything I wanted to say…and how I’d probably choke when I got the chance.Minutes stretched on, each one feeling longer than the last. Then I saw him.Ronan. Stepping out of the rink, hair damp from taking a shower, water dripping from his forehead. He was dressed simply…just his shorts and a polo…but somehow he looked… perfect. Every curve, ev
Where the ice melts Fear
IVY POVFinally… the exams were over. My brain felt like mush, my body heavy, and my emotions all over the place.I wasn’t even sure if I did well. I kept thinking about my grades, wondering if all the tears, the heartbreak, and the late nights had messed everything up. My goal… I needed at least a 6:9. No.. zmy goal was a 7:5. I had to hit that.I shook my head, trying to push the worries away. There was nothing I could do now. All I could do was hope. Hope that the hard work, the stress, the sleepless nights weren’t wasted.And then… it done on me today was the day. today was the school final hockey game.My stomach flipped.I hadn’t seen Ronan in weeks. I didn’t even know if he would show. But I couldn’t stop myself from hoping. Maybe today, I’d see him. Maybe… things could feel different again, at least for a little while. Maybe he missed me.It was the final match of the year… Frostmont versus PK hockey team. My stomach
Where the ice melts Cost of protection
IVY POVI kept walking, but my steps slowed, my thoughts tangling.At home.The exams were brought to him.That meant he really wasn’t coming back. Not for finals. Not for graduation. Not for me.My chest ached, sharp and deep, and I pressed my lips together, refusing to cry in the middle of campus. I’d done enough of that this past week—late at night, face buried in my pillow, where no one could hear me break.He didn’t even come to say goodbye.I hated how that thought hurt more than the breakup text.Zoe caught up to me near the library. “Ivy?” she said gently. “You okay?”I nodded too fast. “Yeah. Just… tired.”She didn’t believe me, but she didn’t push. Max walked beside us in silence, his presence steady, grounding. I was grateful for that. If I spoke, I might fall apart.All day, the thought stayed with me. Ronan alone in that big house. Ronan writing exams somewhere far away from me. Ron
Where the ice melts When the dark moves
IVY POVAt Last! Finally!Finally… exam week. Just a week left, and my college life will be over. It was hard to believe it had come so fast. A mix of relief and panic bubbled in my chest. I wanted to celebrate, but it had been a roller coaster of emotions for me these past weeks.I got ready slowly that morning, choosing a casual outfit… a simple blouse and jeans. Something comfortable, something that didn’t require too much effort. Today was Corporate Law, the course I needed for my internship and law school applications. Important, yes, but my mind kept wandering.I stared at myself in the mirror for a moment, brushing my hair, taking a deep breath. I told myself to focus. Exams first. Ronan… I couldn’t think about him. Not today. Not when my future was on the line.As I left my apartment, the city humming around me, I felt the emptiness he’d left. His texts, his calls… nothing. Not a single sign of him since that day.Not a sign f
Where the ice melts Fire under skin
IVY POVI stayed in Zoe’s arms longer than I realized, letting the tears fall freely. Max stood beside us, arms crossed, jaw tight, staring at the floor like he wanted to punch something… but I didn’t care. I didn’t care about anything except the ache in my chest and the hollow space he left behind.“I can’t believe he just… left,” I whispered, voice trembling. “After everything… after… us.”Zoe rubbed my back gently. “Ivy… he’s a mess. And if he can’t talk to you about whatever the problem is that’s on him. You don’t need to cry over that asshole.”I sniffled and wiped my cheeks. “I don’t know Zoe… first time letting myself live after so long and this is what I get. And I—” I choked on the words, “I can’t stop thinking about him.”Max’s gaze softened a little, and he stepped closer. “Ivy… you need to let yourself feel this. Cry it out. Be mad, sad, whatever. But don’t… don’t let him put you in a box filled with sadness and negative thoug
