•.•Skylar•.•I was deep-shit scared, and it didn’t help that Harper wasn’t waking up. Jaxon put her in the backseat, her body limp against the leather. I clamped a hand over my mouth.No, no, no.“What happened to her?” My voice came out as a shriek, breaking midway.Jaxon got into the driver’s seat and slammed the door shut. A bile rose in my throat, making swallowing difficult. Really difficult.He glanced back at Harper’s limp body before turning the ignition. “She was drugged and almost raped.” His green eyes locked on mine when he said the last part.That didn’t make it any less mortifying. What the hell?“We have to get her to the clinic. I don’t know what those fuckers gave her. It could be minor or—” He paused, jaw tightening. My heart dropped.“Severe,” he finished, pulling away from the neighborhood.I stared out into the dark night, wondering if she’d ever be okay. What if it wasn’t just drugs? What if it was an overdose? What if—So many what-ifs.I didn’t even know I was

Grounded

•.•Skylar•.•The next morning was hell unleashed. I was so wrong to think avoiding Dad’s call would make anything better, but I should have known he wasn’t one to tolerate crap.And that was how all four of us — including Jaxon, of course, since he was an eyewitness — ended up standing before the Dean.“We’ll look into it, sir,” the man said. Dad cocked his head slightly, resting both arms on the braces of the chair.“I have a feeling that would take a long time. There are evidences enough to get him fired,” he pointed out, and the Dean shot us a displeased look before returning his attention to my father.Harper stood quietly beside me. She’d gotten much better this morning, and though her memory was still fuzzy, she remembered going to the damn party and taking the damn drink.“We still need to carry out our investigations, sir,” the Dean countered.I frowned. What more did they need to investigate? Jaxon had clearly provided evidence of the two men he’d knocked out. Not a pretty si

Fall Out

•.•Jaxon•.•“You sure everything’s all sorted, man?” Andy asked.I dragged a hand through my hair and sat up from where I’d been sprawled on his couch. I stared at him.“Hey. Sure we can’t have it at your place instead?” I asked.He glanced back at me over his shoulder, eyes narrowing. “No? What? We can’t use your place no more?”I swung my legs off the couch. “My door is always open. I’m just wondering if I could skip this time. You know…” I raised a brow, hoping he’d understand.He didn’t. “Then what is it?”I exhaled. “Dude, she’s staying with me, and all those people…” I trailed off, pinching the bridge of my nose.Andy huffed. “This won’t be a problem if she locks herself up in her room.”I shot him a dry look. His brows climbed.“Wait. Is there another reason maybe?” he muttered.A muscle tightened in my jaw.“If there’s something she loves most, it’s making sure she never listens to me. I know her, bro — she’s not gonna lock herself up.”He chuckled, giving me a ridiculous loo

High

•.•Skylar•.•I rolled onto my side for the hundredth time since the party started, because obviously they had the music at the highest volume — inconsiderate of anyone else.I grabbed the pillow and pressed it over my ears, hoping it would numb the sound a little, but no. Nothing helped.Rolling onto my back, I stared at the ceiling, flat-out annoyed. This was ridiculous. Absolutely inhumane.I had classes in the morning and I needed my sleep. I wasn’t about to show up looking like a zombie, and my sleep-deprived brain definitely wouldn’t process anything.If there was one thing I cherished more than anything, it was my sleep. And now I couldn’t even have that.Reaching out, I grabbed my phone from the nightstand, swung my legs off the bed, and stared at the screen.Two a.m.They’d been at it for hours now, and while I’d hoped the music would eventually get lower, it only got louder, and I kept tossing around my bed.I unlocked my phone and saw a text from Harper:Harper: How’s it goi

Weird

•.•Harper•.•It’s been a week — since Harper’s incident and me calling the cops on Jaxon’s party, which didn’t end well, by the way. And yeah, he knew I was behind it.We haven’t spoken much. Hell, he wasn’t even around most of the time. It was nice — a big help even. It helped me study more, and classes have been… tedious.Harper and I have been working our asses off to keep up. Or better still, I have been working my ass off. And that was why, after an all-night study session, I was surprised to see Jaxon sitting cross-legged in the sitting room.Yeah, surprising — I never woke up to see Jaxon in the mornings. He either locked himself in his room or, worse still, slept out the night before.He glanced up at me from his phone.“Good morning,” he greeted, and I arched a brow.Wait… was he speaking to me?I said nothing, because my bets were on me hearing wrongly.I walked toward the refrigerator to grab a bottle of water. Lately, I’ve been dehydrated as fuck.“So you just snub?” he a

Girlfriend

Skylar “It’s not normal, trust me,” I muttered as Harper and I headed for class. Jaxon had left when Harper arrived, and they’d exchanged weird looks. Instead of going back to sleep, I got ready for class. I had business, and Harper had English. We hadn’t talked about what we’d be majoring in next session yet. We’d cross that bridge eventually. For now, we were just focused on passing with good grades. “Maybe he wants to be friends again,” Harper shrugged, meeting my eyes. I rolled mine. “Well, I definitely don’t want to be friends with him again,” I said, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. I meant it. I really didn’t look forward to being friends with Jaxon again. “Hey,” a voice came from behind us. We turned around to see a brunette with huge glasses. I raised a brow. Oh. She smiled at me, then her eyes darted to Harper. “Hi. Are you going to Mr. Darwell’s class?” she asked, pressing her lips together and rocking on her heels—a movement she probably thought

A Bet

Jaxon“You’re both really taking this serious, yeah?” Luke, one of the guys on the hockey team chuckled as we changed into our gear. I glanced at Andy whose jaw was set.“Not actually. I’m not doing anything yet unlike him,” I muttered and Andy’s eyes met mine.“I did nothing,” he defended and I gave him a flat look.“So you were just magically around the place where she’s supposed to have her class? Beats my imagination,”Andy huffed.“You were there too. Doing what?” he bit back and Luke with some of the other guys exchanged looks with annoying smiles on their faces. I straightened up.“Because she lives with me.”“That’s just a stupid excuse. We both know you never wanted her in your house. You never even wanted her around and all of a sudden you’re fucking interested in her?” he gestured with his hands, his brows drawn together.Luke coughed, staring at me as he made sure his skates were in place.“Well Jax, I thought you said she was like a sister to you,” he grinned and I glared

Dinner?

SkylarHe was good. Just like always.Jaxon had always been good at whatever he did, and even with a helmet on, I could still pick him out among the other players.“It’s a good thing his team won. Otherwise, he’d have heard from me,” Harper muttered, taking a bite of her cotton candy.I glanced at her and scrunched my nose. I still couldn’t fathom how she enjoyed that candy. It tasted like nothing to me, but then again, Harper took delight in weird things.I shifted on the bench when Jaxon looked our way—probably for the umpteenth time since the game started. I had no idea how he even knew we were here.I hadn’t told him I was going to honor his request and come. But I did. And yes, it was time to go.That much was obvious from how people were dispersing—talking to players who’d come out of the rink or taking pictures. Whatever.“Okay, girl. It’s time to go,” I said, standing abruptly when I realized Jaxon was actually leaving the rink.No. What I would not do was wait for him to come

Start Afresh

SkylarThere was a knock on my door. I hesitated for a second before taking off my earphones. I already had an inkling of who it might be, and that only made me more curious.There were only two of us in this apartment, and I had no idea what Jaxon could possibly want to say at this hour. Speaking of which, I glanced at my phone.12:15 a.m.Yeah—what did he have to say by midnight?We’d been giving each other the silent treatment since he returned home, and while I felt bad for ignoring him earlier, I didn’t let it show. The man could not know I felt even an iota of pity toward him.I sat up on the bed, just to be sure I’d heard the knock.Then I heard it again—soft, but firm.I got up, tightening the sash of my robe as I walked toward the door. I unlocked it and pulled it open slightly, green eyes staring straight into mine.I raised a brow. “Jaxon?”He lifted his hand in a small wave of greeting.Really?“Is there anything you want?” I asked. His gaze flicked past me, into the room,
