leaving my home

Kehlani I sat there awkwardly, my face still burning from walking into Trevor's bathroom.The trail of blood I'd left across his hallway suddenly became much more embarrassing than accidentally seeing him naked. Trevor appeared back, returning later carrying a white first-aid box."I searched for it earlier in the kitchen cabinets and the hallway. Where did you get it?"“From the shelf in the living room. Oh and I picked the shard from the staircase. I apologize once again.”“It's fine. Do you know how to use it?”He chuckled. "I'm an athlete so why not?” He knelt in front of me, opening the box. "It'd be irresponsible if I didn't."I watched him pull out cotton balls, antiseptic wipes and a roll of bandages with practiced ease.".You've done this before."He glanced up. "I spend half my life getting stitched back together.""Right. Hockey” I sighed. “It must be quite tiring.”He laughed softly and gently lifted my injured foot onto his thigh. The contact caught me off guard. His han

Us and his therapist

Kehlani By the time we pulled into Trevor's driveway, I was already happy to start arranging my stuff in my new room. He climbed out first, stretching his back before opening the trunk.Before either of us could carry anything inside, we noticed a lady by the front door. She's dressed in a lace armless shirt and shorts. Her blonde hair was tied neatly into a low ponytail, and wore a hat and dark shades. Trevor squinted his eyes. “Are you seeing what I'm seeing?”“Who's that? You have a stalker?”She smiled when she saw Trevor and then took off her shades. That's when we both gasped. "There you are." She walked a few steps closer and Trevor also walked towards her.. "Jade?"I frowned. Not again. His therapist. His smile held genuine surprise. "I don't have an appointment today. How did you get in?”"I know." She folded her arms lightly. "I was in the neighborhood, plus, you didn't close your gate, so I stepped in.”His eyebrow lifted. “Oh. I should have come see you instead. You k

Now, we're arguing

Kehlani Trevor laid on the couch and I sat at the arm. Legs crossed. The television kept playing and Jax played with a ball. I flipped through my note and then grabbed my pen. “You ready?”“Yes.” His eyes were locked on his phone screen. “Okay. Let's go.” My eyes glanced through the phase one collaboration instructions. I already wrote down questions in relation to Trevor and his occupation. I cleared my throat. “Your name?”He paused and then gave me a weird look. “Seriously, you don't know my name?”“Full name.” “Trevor Albert Casper.”I opened my mouth and a huge smile was plastered on my lips. “Oh, my. Isn't that cute.”“No.” He rolled his eyes. “Next question please. Go on.”“It's such a cute name, Albert. Albert Einstein.” I giggled. “Hey. Last warning.” He teased me. “Okay. Okay.”“I have a game later. So I hope we can finish before then.” “Why not. We wouldn't take up to an hour or two. Okay. Next question. Your date of birth. Well, the purpose of this is not to pry int

malice

Kehlani “You still haven't changed, huh? Still the type that gets angry easily.”He laughed sarcastically. “No. I'm the softest guy you'd ever see. I just hate that guy.”“What guy?”“Your ex, dummy. That's what we were talking about.”My both hands rested on my hips. “We are talking about what you meant by I caused your issue…. depression.”He remained quiet for a while, then rubbed his forehead. “Are you still in love with him? It's been three years now. I really hope you're not—”“What kind of question is that?” I raised my voice, already irritated by the question. “Why would I? Before we left high school, he ended up with Maddie. What the hell would I have to do with him, Trevor.”“Well, good.”He turned and walked round the sofa. “Hey, you better explain what you meant earlier because you're keeping me on suspense.”He grabbed his keys from the shelf and ran a frustrated hands through his hair. “I think I need some air.”“Hey, hold on. What's with this attitude? How are we goin

The losing team

Kehlani My lips pressed together in a slight grimace. “Oh, now you know the word ‘girlfriend’ I thought you were trying to snub me.” The drive to the arena was painfully quiet.“Kehlani, I'm really sorry. I really am. I promise, I shouldn't have said that word earlier. I'll explain to you. After the game, okay?”I crossed my arms without looking at his face. “Whatever, I don't even care.The only sounds were the hum of the engine and the occasional voice from the radio Trevor had turned down so low. I stared out the passenger window, admiring the hockey building which was far more interesting than the awkward silence between us. His car rolled into the players' parking garage beneath the Manhattan Blizzards Arena."Kehlani." He called again I paused but didn't look at him."I'm sorry."I let out a slow breath. "For what?""For leaving like that. I shouldn't have walked out."I shrugged. “Huh? Okay."He frowned. "Okay?"I finally turned to him. "What do you want me to say?" I sighed

I'm curious! explain yourself!

Kehlani The city lights blurred past the window as Trevor drove through the road. Neither of us spoke for the first few minutes. The silence wasn't awkward at all. Rather, it was comfortable. At the last traffic light before the highway, I spotted a roadside food stand.Excitement built inside of me and I screamed. "Wait!" He knitted his brow. "What?""Pull over, please.”“Okay. Why?""I want to buy that stuff.” I looked back as Trevor had already passed the stand. “Alright.” He sighed dramatically before steering toward the curb.Five minutes later, I climbed back into the car carrying an embarrassingly large paper bag. The smell of grilled meat filled the car instantly. Trevor glanced sideways. "How much did you buy?""I got hungry. Anyways, I bought it for us both.” The car kicked into motion and I pulled out the first skewer. The meat was still sizzling hot. I blew on it before taking a bite. The smoky seasoning exploded across my tongue. "Mmm." Another bite. "Oh my gosh. This

To the practice place

Kehlani I sat attentively. The playful mood had vanished.nI folded my arms. "Well?"He let out a long breath and rubbed the back of his neck before looking up at me. "After prom..."My chest tightened. I hadn't heard anyone mention that night in years because it had a bad memory. "The night I walked away from you, with Lydia. I wasn't myself anymore."I frowned. "What do you mean? Well, I knew something was wrong that day.”He leaned back, staring at the ceiling as if replaying memories he wished he could erase."When I left for college, Lydia stayed close. She made sure she was always around. Checking up on me, Calling, Visiting. Acting like she cared, At first, I thought she was helping, She'd tell me things like... You're not sleeping because you're depressed about that Kehlani girl. You need something to calm your nerves. The doctor recommended these."He chuckled. "I believed her. "She started giving me medication. I didn't ask many questions. I trusted her. Little by little,

Fun time

Kehlani The city hadn't fully woken up yet. Golden streaks of morning sunlight stretched across the empty roads as Trevor drove through downtown Manhattan. The day hadn't begun with busy people, just the occasional jogger, cyclists, and delivery trucks sharing the streets with us.I rested my forehead against the passenger window, suppressing another yawn."Don't feel so lazy. Pretend it's high school. You know, how we'd wake up early to go to school.”“Even though. I'm not in high school so I shouldn't be waking up as early as six anymore.”Trevor's eyes stayed on the road. "Years of morning practice made me committed. In fact, you have to be, as a hockey player. Get used to it if you want to be serious with your work.”Fifteen minutes later, the towering Manhattan Blizzards training facility came into view.Unlike game nights, there were no roaring crowds or fans waiting outside with jerseys and hockey sticks. The parking lot was mostly empty, occupied by only a handful of expensiv

I dare you

Kehlani “Hey, be careful.” He smiled. His hands were wrapped around my waist to keep me up. “Oh, yeah. Thanks. I am.” My face heated instantly and quickly steadied myself. "I'm okay." I straightened my sweater trying to recover whatever dignity I had left. "Thank you.""No problem." He didn't let go immediately. When he realized I was steady, he released me and took a small step backI almost laughed. Then, my eyes wandered across the rink.And that's when I saw Trevor. He was standing near the other side of the ice, watching us. Our eyes met. His expression was unreadable. I couldn't tell if he was surprised, amused, or simply curious.Noah followed my gaze and seemed to understand. "Careful," he said, looking back at me. "These skates aren't as friendly as they look.""Sure.”Noah skated away. As he did, Trevor was already skating towards me. When he reached the edge of the rink, he stopped. "What happened?"I shrugged. "I almost fell."“Oh.” “I think I'll be leaving the rink now

Noah

KehlaniThe cab pulled away the moment I stepped onto the pavement. I stood there for a second, adjusting the strap of my little bag against my shoulder as I stared at the house party in front of me.Music thumped from inside. There were yellow lights wrapped around balcony railings, while colorful lights flashed through the windows. People crowded the front yard, some sitting on the low wall, others laughing with drinks in their hands. The last party I went to was just like this. I exhaled and checked the address on my phone one more time. It was definitely the right place. I hesitated at first because I wasn't exactly a party person. Especially not one where I barely talked to my coursemates. I stepped through the gate."Addison!"Someone had yelled my name. Before I could turn, a pair of hands wrapped around me. “Whoa!" It was Andy. He pulled away, grinning from ear to ear. "You actually came!""You invited me," I said, straightening my top. "What did you expect?""Honestly?" H
