CHAPTER 201COLLISION COURSEISLAFor minutes I tried to tell myself that I wasn't going because I wanted to see him. That I just happened to take the longer route back from the library. That I just happened to cut across the athletics complex and slowed down when the sound of a bouncing basketball echoed against concrete.Its been two days since Asher nearly body-chevked Jace into another dimension. Two days since I saw Ellis outside my dorm and pretended seeing him standing there, broken did not break something inside me. The court came into view slowly, the outdoor one behind the main gym building. The late afternoon sun washed everything in bright gold, the chain nets glinting when the ball snapped through them.My heart did something stupid.I scanned the court casually, as if my mind didn't already know exactly who I was hoping to see. A whistle blew, a ball bouncing towards the sideline and then I heard the sound of my name. “Isla?”I froze mid-step and turned, immediately kn

CHAPTER 202CHECK AND BALANCESISLAI made my way to Ellis place with a lot on my ming. Every distance I closed echoes with doubt as my fingers were cold even though I'd sh I'd shoved them into the sleeves of my sweater.Again, I didn't know what I was going to say if I found myself in their midst right now. I just knew that if I didn't face this, it would be swallowing me alive. Ellis place smelled faintly like detergent and coffee anytime I thought about it. I'd been there so many times it used to feel like a second home. But tonight, I know without a doubt that it will feel like walking into a courtroom. As I git closer to his door, my heart thudded hardly in my chest before I knocked. The door opened almost immediately, not even giving me the chance to build up my courage. Ellis stood there. He didn’t look surprised to see me, but he didn’t look normal either. His eyes were already searching my face like he was bracing for impact as he stepped aside without a word. I stepped i

CHAPTER 203RAYS OF HOPE ELLISThere are some nights when the house feels too small for my thoughts. That was one of them.Rowan and Noah had been sitting in my living room for almost twenty minutes before she texted. No one was talking and the TV was off. The only sound was the hum of the fridge and the occasional shift of someone adjusting in their seat.It felt like we were waiting for a verdict.After thinking about it for the whole day, I realised my choice of words towards them was wrong, so I had called them so I could do right by them. I kept thinking about the last time I saw her up close. The way she looked at me like she wanted to say something and didn’t. It was all there in her eyes. I thought about Noah and Rowan and what she had turned us into. We were all hanging by threads, and none of us wanted to admit it.My phone buzzed in my hand and I glanced down lazily at first and when I saw Isla's name, I clicked on it instantly. For a second, I just stared at it.Right

CHAPTER 204FALLING OPENISLAThe first sob ripped out of me before I could swallow it back. It was the most ugly sound I've heard come out of me. I didn’t even recognize the sound as my own until my knees buckled slightly and Ellis moved first. He always moved first when I fall apart.His hands caught my arms before I could crumble to the floor. Rowan was right there a second later, steadying my back, and Noah stood up so abruptly I thought he would fall. I think that’s when it hit me.They were still here even after everything I've put them through. Even after the confusion and the jealousy and the stupid silences and the hurt we kept pretending wasn’t there… they were still here.And that quiet realization cracked something open in the deepest part of my chest. “I’m sorry,” I choked out, the words barely coherent. “I’m so sorry.”For what exactly? For everything. For not choosing. For hesitating. For being afraid. And for loving them all in ways that didn’t make sense.Ellis pull

CHAPTER 205MAKE UP SEXISLAGrowing up, I used to hear when the mean girls in high school and some girls in college frat parties say make up sex is the best and I never believed it was. Ask me for my opinion then, I'll tell you sex with a lot of love is the best one. But now? To fucking hell with love making. After years, I think I know why they say Make up sex is the best. You're angry with them for a long time, during that period, you'll feel your heart longing and your pussy getting wet at the thought of them, but you'd be unable to reach them. So you'd be forced to kill the urge and keep up with your anger. Finally, when you make uo with them and you're back to being on the same leveled page, days and weeks of pent up sexual emotions and tension crash in all at once. Your pussy is dropping easily, your clit is swollen badly and your nipples would be more erect than you've ever seen them. And all you can think about is them filling you with their hard dick and being filled up

CHAPTER 206ISLASHORT TERM HAPPINESS There is something dangerously intimate about the silence after sex. The silence was a soft one, the kind that settled on my shin and seeped into my bone. This was the kind of silence that felt earned. I laid there, caught between heat and their heartbeats. Ellis was on my right, Rowan on my left and Noah somewhere impossibly close, half draped over me like he didn’t trust the world not to steal me away if he loosened his hold.We were all still catching our breath from the rigorous session we had. I couldn't count how many times I cum, how many times my legs grew weak and they could no longer hold my weight. Or how many times all three of thrusted into me. The sheets were twisted beyond recognition, damp and warm beneath us. My hair clung to my neck, sweat cooling slowly against my skin, but none of them moved away. If anything, they pulled me closer.Rowan’s arm was under my head, Ellis’ fingers traced absent patterns against my waist and No

CHAPTER 207WHEN DOES IT ENDISLAI have seen Victor angry, I have seen him smug, I have seen him humiliated, bleeding pride all over the ice like a stain he couldn’t scrub out.But I had never seen him look at me the way he was looking at me right now. I couldn't decipher what it was. It wasn't rage, it wasn't jealousy and it wasn't calculation either. And that terrified me. “Excuse me,” I muttered, trying to step around him, Unable to stay and keep staring at him. But he stepped out, enough to block my path and stop me from moving. Letting out a soft breath, I raised my eyes to look at his, and it still hasn't changed into anything smugh or teasing. He just stared at me with this very blank look and hooded eyes. It was like he was planning my murder while standing right in front of me. “What do you want?” I finally built up the courage to ask since he was there and staring like we were in a staring competition. Again, he didn't say a word, just stared at me with that same eyes.

CHAPTER 208SHATTERED GLASSISLAThere’s a specific kind of silence that follows something reckless. It's thick, breathless and charged you could feel the zap from it. Literally. That was the air in my dorm room at the moment. Noah’s mouth was still warm against my waist, Rowan’s hand was still tangled in my hair and my sheets were twisted beyond saving, my pulse still trying to find a normal rhythm.One wey or the other we had found out way to the bed in-between. Don't ask me how.I didn’t hear the door open, I didn’t hear the faint click of it shutting either. All I heard was a voice. “What the hell!?.”Everything in me went cold the moment that sound seeped into my ears and I froze. Noah also froze and Rowan's grip on me tightened instinctively before loosening just as quickly.I pulled away from them so fast it was almost violent, scrambling backward on the bed, my heart slamming against my ribs like it wanted to escape first.My eyes shot toward the entrance and of course, the

CHAPTER 209TRUTHS YOU CAN’T UNHEARISLA“Ellis knows.”The words left my mouth before I could second-guess them. Sonia’s hand was already on the door handle as she paused mid-step. Slowly… very slowly, she turned around.Her eyebrows dipped so low they nearly met, her eyes scanning my face like she was searching for the crack in the lie she was certain she’d find.For a moment, she didn’t say anything, she just stood there scrutinizing me under her gaze. Then she laughed. A full blown, sharp, disbelieving chapter. “Oh my God,” she said between breaths. “You’re unbelievable.”My stomach tightened in a ugly way. “You think I'm lying?”“Please.” She waved a dismissive hand. “You’re doing everything you can to stop me from telling Asher, so now you’re making things up.”“I’m not making anything up.”Her expression hardened again. “You expect me to believe Ellis is just… fine with this?” She gestured vaguely toward my bed like the sheets themselves were evidence in a courtroom. “With you

CHAPTER 210A DODGED BULLETISLAI took a slow breath, a deep breath, exactly the kind you take before stepping off a ledge.“Jace…” I began softly.The hopeful expression on his face made this even harder than it needed to be. So I just let out the words as it came. “I can’t.”His smile faltered slightly. “Can’t what?”“I can’t be with you.” I forced myself to hold his gaze. “Not in the way you're thinking and want us to be.”He held my gaze for seconds, confusion creeping into his features first. Then disbelief slowly crawled in. “I don’t understand,” he said lightly, like maybe he thought I was joking. “Did I miss something?”“I don’t like you in that way,” I said, the words tasting heavier than I expected them to. “You’re great. You’re kind. You’re… easy to be around. But I don’t feel that kind of connection.”That wasn’t entirely true. I felt something, but it wasn't overriding what I felt for Noah, Ellis and Rowan. He nodded slowly, but I could see it, hurt flashing behind his
