LucasFirst day of physical rehab was exactly the kind of pure torture I had been expecting. In fact, it was much worse than I ever imagined. The therapist told me he was going to take it easy on me for the initial session. But if what he was forcing me to do right now was the easy part, how much worse would the hard part be when we started lifting real weights?“I’m tired,” I announced flatly. I grabbed my white towel from the bench to wipe away the thick sweat that had trickled down my face and neck. My muscles were shaking from the simple movements.“We still have two more rounds to go, Mr. Miller,” the therapist said in a strict, matter-of-fact tone, not looking up from his stopwatch. “If we don't finish them, I won’t mark today as complete in your official progress calendar. Your coaches watch that calendar closely.”I stared down at the average height man, feeling a surge of annoyance. It pissed me off that my entire hock

Lori“Then you have no idea how far I am willing to fight to tear it apart,” Travis shot back. His voice was low, sharp, and cold.He stared right at me. The relentless, toxic determination he had just promised was laced deep in his dark eyes.“But I already told you that I am no longer interested in you,” I shot back. I refused to back down an inch. “How many times do I have to say it until you finally realize how serious I am?”Travis massaged his temples slowly. I knew his patterns too well. He was just stalling, desperately trying to think of the next thing to say to win the argument. Before he could utter another word, I stood up abruptly from the plastic chair.“Hey! Where do you think you are going?” he barked, his face twisting. “We are absolutely not done here, Lori.”“Errm… my mom,” I lied quickly, staring down at my rumpled shoes to avoid his gaze. “She is sick. I just remembered that I haven’t checked up on her today.”“You are lying through your teeth, Lori. I know you to

Lori“Please pick up. I’m begging you,” I muttered under my breath. I paced back and forth across the small rug in my room, praying that Lucas would answer on the other end of the line.My heart skipped a painful beat when the ringing stopped and went straight to voicemail again. I clicked end and tried one more time. I tried to convince myself that maybe he had just stepped out to the bathroom and was away from his screen. But I knew Lucas well enough by now to know the truth. He always kept his phone within arm's reach. He was actively ignoring me.I dropped onto the edge of my mattress and huffed out a frustrated breath. Suddenly, my phone started ringing. Excitedly, a wide smile broke across my face, and I swiped the screen to answer without even bothering to look at the caller ID.“Lucas! Oh my goodness, I have been calling you for an hour. Why didn’t you pick up any sooner?”“Oh? So your dear boyfriend has already started ignoring your phone calls? Isn’t it a little too soon f

LoriMy day was turning out to be completely horrible. It felt like a cruel math problem. If you added a massive, screaming fight with your boyfriend from the previous night to an incredibly toxic workplace, the final result was always going to equal a very bad day. There was no way around it.I sat directly under the small office air conditioner in the back room, desperately trying to cool off from the endless clothing sorting I had done throughout the entire morning. My hands were dry from handling fabric, and my shoulders ached. We were finally done moving the current heavy pile of clothes into the inventory racks. However, according to a fellow intern named Isabella, a brand new batch of winter garments might arrive before the work day came to an end. The thought alone made me want to slide out of my chair and hide under the desk.Jessica had been fast asleep when I left our shared dorm room for my morning classes. If she had be

Lucas My body felt like a wrecking ball had smashed directly into it. In fact, my whole life felt that way entirely. How did I go from being the top hockey player on campus with a promising professional career, to watching that same future dangle by a thin thread?I sighed bitterly into the empty room. I was finally back in my own dorm room after days in the campus hospital. My first official physical rehab session was scheduled to start in three days.Right now, the severe, throbbing pain in my lower spine depended entirely on heavy painkillers. The last round of pills I took had completely worn off. According to the doctor's strict medical orders, I had to wait another two long hours before I was allowed to take the next dose.The constant agony was killing me. It made me want to snap at anyone who came near me. A thick, overwhelming urge to smash everything in my room washed over my mind. I only stayed still on the mattres

LoriI was entirely too shocked to move from that exact spot on the concrete path. My feet felt glued to the ground. I watched Travis walk away into the dark shadows of the campus night. He had just demanded that I meet him at the cafeteria tomorrow for lunch. He did not ask. He had ordered me, not forgetting to mention telling everyone, especially Jessica my secret.By the time I finally recovered from the heavy shock, he had completely gone out of view. A wave of intense dread washed over my entire body. I already hated myself for letting him corner me. I hated the silly lunch date I was now forced to attend.I slowly continued my short journey toward my dorm building. My steps were much slower now. I could not believe Travis was actually going to use my secret against me. He had already used the threat to secure a forced date. How long would he continue to blackmail me with this? How long until he ruined everything?Wh

Lori’s POV Without waiting to see what he is about to do next, I took my car keys and ran out of the room. I rushed past Jessica and Ann in the hallway. Their worried voices shouted my name. However, I ignored them and plunged out of the apartment and into the cold night air. I knew how reck

Lori’s POV My eyes snapped shut. I couldn't tell them about Lucas. Not yet. I couldn't even process it myself."Travis cheated on me," I croaked. My voice sounded raw, completely ruined. "With Elena. On my freaking bed."Jessica’s jaw dropped. She gasped so loud it filled the quiet space. "That a
