All Chapters of Marked By The Ruthless Hockey Captain: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Finn’s povI stared at his unconscious body, my face drained of any colour as I pondered what to do. Time was running out, and anyone could come into the room any minute searching for Knox. “Knox? This better not be a prank. Stand up!” I tried to exercise a bit of bravery, my chest heaving from fear. “Knox?” I called again, this time slowly inching closer, but I paused when I saw his fingers twitch. I gritted my teeth, sweat forming on my palms and forehead. I had one shot. I could either leave or call for help. But what if I get blamed for doing something to Knox?The thought played like it had been recorded. Weighing the stakes, I decided to stay out of trouble. I grabbed my luggage and gave one last look at his perfectly structured face before taking the exit. Hopefully, I'll be able to get out of here before anyone notices anything. I snuck out of Apex-Crest Academy unnoticed. My eyes darted around until I got into the bus that would finally take me out of the hellhole. Fina

Finn’s pov“Thanks so much, Mom; it was delicious.” I took the dishes off the table and watched as Mom smiled warmly at me. “So what now? When are you returning to school? You see I'm doing fine, right?” She asked, and I felt my body stiffen as I placed the dishes in the makeshift sink.“Hmm?” I turned my head towards her and forced a smile on my face. My body heated up due to the pressure I felt.“Soon.” She nodded, and I excused myself, going up to my room. My phone had been vibrating in my pocket during dinner, and he wanted to check it out in my room.I closed the door, leaning into it as I tried to catch my breath. I didn't want Mom questioning me, but I guess he had to get used to it.After calming myself down, I took in a deep breath and walked over to my worn-out bed. The moment I sat down, it sunk in, but I was used to it already. I pulled out my phone, and my eyes rested on the messag

Finn's povI needed to go back. His warnings, that tone, everything was supposed to scare me but I guess I saw something underneath all of it that made it make sense.“Care…”“You're packing already? I thought you would stay one more day. Your siblings would be back with us tomorrow, I'm sure you'd like to—” Mom urged me after a hard day's work but I shook my head to object. “No Mom, Zale texted and said there's something important happening in school. I need to go back so I won't miss it.” She sighed, and I felt the sadness in her voice. She walked over to where I stood and placed a hand over my shoulder.I stopped whatever I was doing and turned towards her throwing my arms around her with a sad smile on my face. “I know, Mom; we're all emotional about me leaving, but let's not forget it's all for a better future. Soon, we'll have an apartment of our own and maybe…” I smiled. “Own a house someday.” She nodded, helping me out with the clothes before dinner time. This was the la

Finn’s Pov“What do I want?” I scoffed, still staring at the ceiling. There were so many things I wanted at this point, but voicing them was practically a death sentence.“Don't keep shut. Tell me!” He roared the last sentence out, and that was it. I had heard enough from him.I threw my legs off the bed and sat up so I could get a better look at him. “You really want to know what I want to do to you?” My lips slowly curled into a smirk, and even when he lay on the bed, he turned his face towards my direction.I could sense the tension in his eyes and the worry on his lips. He kept swallowing, and his breath came out rough. “I intend to ruin you. I want your life to be mine.” I was suddenly possessed with a kind of boldness I didn't understand.I pushed myself up from the bed where I was seated and moved around the room, maintaining eye contact. “I want to ruin you beyond number. I want to make you mine so much that you'll be affected by every fucking thing I do. I want to make you

Knox’s pov“Knox!” I felt a hand on my shoulder, and only then did I arch my neck backwards so I could get a better view of whoever called me It was Calista, and she pushed her lips forward, crossing her hands over her chest. I knew she wasn't alright, but I didn't bother to ask her why. I returned to my normal sitting position and prepared to go into thinking again when she called me. “Why are you avoiding me, hmm?” She asked in her usual whiny tone, making creased lines appear on my forehead.“Don’t you know how to read in between the lines? Besides, I thought I told you I don't want to be in a relationship anymore.” “Well, you said so, but I can't bring myself to accept the fact that I wouldn't be with you anymore. I love you, and I can't leave without you.”I scoffed. She loved me? Well, maybe she did, but I didn't feel the same way about her anymore.I clenched my teeth and fisted my hands; hearing such a t
