All Chapters of HATE HIM, TILL I NEED HIM: Chapter 21 - Chapter 26

Aiden's POVI had no idea what Ryder meant.Reintroduce himself?What the hell was that supposed to mean?After three classes my arm still hurt where he had grabbed me.He had practically assaulted me. I reported it to campus police, but the man kept staring at me like I had lost my senses. He asked me to come back for some medications as he heard the school head nurse wasn't around. I've never felt that intense urge to pick up the phone and call my father. Just one call would make Ryder beg for my forgiveness. I was sure of it. “Aiden!” Ava screamed my name from afar. I adjusted my bag and walked over to them. “It's Tuesday,” I reminded them. “You guys go to Gibby's on Tuesday.” “We had a change of mine,” she said, pushing Riss away from her, creating space between them. Then she looked up at me with a smile, patting the soft leather. “Seat.” “Hi,” Peter nodded, moving a little to the side. I shook my head at Ava, and sat beside him. Ava would cling to my life if she wanted t

Ryder's POV“Yes, Mama,” I said, unlocking the door to my room with my phone pressed between my ear and shoulder. “But I'm done with that man. It's a shame you married him.”“Ryder,” she called softly. “Your father loves you. He just doesn't understand what being gay actually means.”I stepped into the room. “Oh, he does. Gay men are men who are scared to be men, so they become women. His words, not mine.”“Scared of being men?” She scoffed. “You're more of a man than your brother. The only sport your brother can play is golf, and he sucks at that too.”I threw my bag onto the bed and flopped down beside it. “He's my father's favorite.”“Ryder,” she said, her voice growing quieter. “I'm not telling you to make up with your father. I'm begging you not to cut off your family. You're as much a part of this family as anyone else.”I nodded, even though she couldn't see me. “Thanks, Mother.”“How's that little degenerate prick you call your roommate?”“Relax, Mother.” I laughed. “He's not

Ryder's POVI made Aiden accompany me to the club. I had no problem with him being there, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to get under that thick skin of his. And if we were lucky, his predatory father would find out that his son had been following me around.That was what he got for invading my privacy.Not that I was innocent, either.I admitted to going through his things once in a while, but I'd never let him find out. I was always careful.“What's he doing here?” one of my friends scoffed loudly as Aiden pulled up behind me.“Chill, brother,” I said, calming him down. “He's here with me.”“Duh. That's the only reason security let him in with those tacky clothes.”“If it makes you feel any better, I'm here against my will,” Aiden shot back.The guys turned to me, their eyes demanding answers.“I'll explain later,” I whispered with a wink. Then I turned to Aiden. “Have fun. I'll be back in a minute.”I took a step forward, but Aiden grabbed my arm.I slowly turned to face h
