All Chapters of The Goalie's Tutor: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Aria’s POVJason and I were forced to exchange weird glances as we left his mum hanging.She wanted to talk to me? Didn't she hate me or something? Who even told her about my mum's passing? What was I even thinking? It was obviously Dad."Jason, aren't you with her? I want to talk to her." Emily said again.Jason looked from the screen to me and I nodded. Whatever she was going to say, it couldn't hurt me over the phone, could it? Better listen to her rant over the speakers than see her face-to-face."H...hi," I said."Oh my God, Aria. I just heard about your mum's death. I personally diagnosed her and she had Severe Autoimmune disease."My jaw dropped almost immediately. I couldn't blink. I just stared blankly at the screen."And it's something that's...""I'm sorry what? You diagnosed my mum and then you knew? I don't understand..." I started to say because honestly, all these weren't making any sense.There was a slight pause. "Your mum didn't tell you." Emily wasn't asking. It w

Aria's POVThere were two of them. I knew Aunt Clara had twins, and I knew that they were both boys, but nothing would have prepared me for both of them showing up in our house like this.One of them had this easygoing grin, you know... the kind that made him look friendly, approachable. And the other one? His whole face was set like he was forced to come here.And Lily being Lily, muttered under her breath, "Holy crap. Are all your cousins this hot?"My cheeks burned and I hissed, nudging her hard with my elbow. "Shut up.""Ow," she whispered back, rubbing her arm. "I'm just saying, Aria."I tried not to roll my eyes. The last thing I needed was my best friend drooling excessively over my relatives."Uh, yeah," I finally said, awkwardly crossing my arms. "Cousins. Right. And... you're here because...?"The one who'd introduced himself... Brandon... smiled wider. "We came ahead. The rest of the family's at the hotel downtown. Nana wanted us to come help your dad get things ready befor

Aria's POV"I think that's my cue to leave." "Wait, no... Hey!" I called after her but she ignored my shouts and ran off, toward the diner, leaving me alone with Jason. I tilted my head at him. "Really? This is a date?" "Yeah," He nodded, and his eyes raked through me, before he met my eyes. "You look beautiful." He said quietly.That made me smile. "Thank you," I did my own accessing of his outfit. A dark jean jacket that I was sure would swallow me whole if I wore it, he left the jacket's button opened so that the black shirt he wore beneath showed. "You don't look so bad yourself." Jason chuckled, and it sounded like music to my ears. He took my hand in his and we walked silently to his car. "Where are we going?" I had to ask. Since we weren't walking to the diner, I figured he had something else planned out."You'll see." He said. "Come on, I don't want to go far. Tell me." "It's no where fancy. But it's quiet, if you want a hint." Jason helped me open the car door and I ent

Aria's POVFuneral week, day one. I had never been to a funeral and just today, or perhaps this whole week, I'd skip school and have to actually attend a funeral.I'd have to watch my mum get buried. And I'd have to watch too many relatives talk, cry, laugh and pry.Yeah, my mum's two sisters and their kids. My mum's older sister, Aunt Genevieve had two daughters. Nineteen-year-old Layla and three-year-old Maya. Aunt number two was Aunt Clara and she was the mother to Brandon and Brayden.Then there was Aunt Kira, my dad's youngest sister and her pregnant belly. Uncle Stefan, my dad's younger brother who didn't even bother coming with his kids. Some excuse about how they had some final exams to write and how they'd be here for the actual funeral.Then last but not least was my favourite Aunt Linda. She wasn't a sibling to either of my parents but it couldn't change the fact that I was closer to her than I was to any of my other aunts. She was married to Dad's older brother and she

Aria's POV"She's just a kid.""I don't care." I almost yelled.Jason tilted his head, watching me with one of his many looks. And when I raised my brow at him, he shook his head. "You're staring at me with your weird look." I pointed at him with a finger.He smiled. "What? I don't have a weird look.""Yes, you do. And your weird look is different from your 'you look good, I want to kiss you look."Jason leaned back on the chair and laughed while I stopped pacing around, just to stare."Sunshine, the girl did nothing to you." "I know, I know. Don't make me feel bad. All I'm saying is that Matt doesn't have the right to ask favours. He did me dirty. He hurt me." "And he apologised." "And his apology wasn't accepted." Jason looked down at the questions I'd given him, he tapped on the desk and looked up at me. "You are better than holding on to grudges, okay? If that girl can't get through losing her mum, I'm confident that you can help her. Because that is what you do. You help peo
