Liam's POV

Tate was waiting by the entrance to the training facility on Friday morning.

Not casually. Not the way he waited when he arrived early and was killing time before the session. He was standing with his bag at his feet, phone in his hand, and when he saw me coming across the car park his expression told me he had been there a while and had something to say.

I slowed down.

"How long have you been here?" I asked.

"Twenty minutes," Tate replied. "I wanted to catch you before anyone else d

  • Falling for My Best Friend's Brother   341: Lunch

    Liam's POVI was so glad our project was done and submitted before my fall out with Avery. It would have been a nightmare having to work with her after the incident.The project grade came back on Monday.I saw it in my inbox when I woke up. Grade Release: Urban Planning and Community Development Group Project. I opened it at six forty-five, before coffee, before my brain was properly functional.Distinction.I closed the email and went to make coffee.Later I was in the library at the table near the window when Zoey came in. She did not come to my table immediately. She went to the shelf along the right wall, got a book, brought it back to the table two across from mine, and started reading.I was aware she was there.She had not made her presence into something I was required to respond to, which I had noticed about her appearances in the last week and a half. Just there. Not pushing but not avoiding.There was a Zoey I had been bracing for after everything with Avery. The one who a

  • Falling for My Best Friend's Brother   340: Who's that guy?

    Jade's POVSince I was taking a break from Avery, I was feeling a bit lonely and bored. I needed to do more things on my own.So on thursday afternoon, I was at the coffee shop on the south side of campus.I had been going there since my first year because it stayed open until late and had the corner table with the outlet near the wall and the barista who remembered I took oat milk without being asked.I was at the corner table with my laptop open and my notes spread beside it, trying to finish a paragraph that would not move, when the door opened.I did not look up.The door opened and closed fifteen times an hour. I did not have the attention span to look up every time.But the laugh made me.Not some fake laugh. Not the kind someone turns up for a room to hear. The kind that was surprised out of him rather than done for anyone.He was standing near the counter with someone I did not recognise — a guy from what looked like the science block based on the lanyard. The science block gu

  • Falling for My Best Friend's Brother   339: Present

    Liam's POVI first noticed her on Tuesday.Not the way you noticed a stranger. The way you noticed someone you already knew when they turned up somewhere unexpected. She was at one of the long tables near the window when I came in, laptop open, head down. I went to a different section, got out my work, and started.I did not think about it for the rest of the session.On Wednesday she was in the corridor outside one of my lectures. She was leaving a seminar from the room next door when I came out. We passed within about six feet of each other. She had her phone in her hand, looked up briefly when she heard people coming out, our eyes met for about two seconds, and then she looked back at her phone and kept walking.I kept walking too.On Thursday she was in the library again.This time she was in my section. Not next to me. Two tables over and three seats down. Far enough that it was not a deliberate approach. Close enough that if I looked up I could see her.I told myself the campus

  • Falling for My Best Friend's Brother   338: Space

    Jade's POV I went next door on Saturday. Not Thursday when I first saw it. Not Friday when I spent the day wondering whether I actually knew who was living next door to me. I spent Friday ignoring her calls because I needed to face her myself and not talk about anything on the phone. So I went on Saturday. Two days after I saw the footage that changed everything I thought I knew about the person next door. I knocked on her door at eleven. She opened it immediately. Like she had been somewhere near the door, ready to open it, for two days. She looked at me. I looked at her. "Can I come in?" I asked. "Yes," she said. She stepped back and I walked past her into the hallway and she closed the door behind us. We went to the kitchen. Thirteen years of difficult conversations meant we always ended up at a kitchen table. I took a chair. She settled across from me. Neither of us said anything. Then I asked, "Is it you?"It was not really a question. The footage had already ans

  • Falling for My Best Friend's Brother   337: Jade's reaction

    LAST WEEK THURSDAYJADE'S REACTION TO THE VIDEO RELEASED OF AVERY FROM LAST WEEKJade's POVMy phone buzzed at seven forty on Thursday morning and I picked it up from the nightstand without opening my eyes properly.It was a message from a girl on my course. Three words and a link.'Have you seen?'I opened the link while still half asleep.I watched it twice before I fully understood what I was watching.Then I pushed upright in bed and watched it again.The stage. The dancer. The mask falling forward in slow motion, frame by frame, the way someone had edited it to make the fall seem deliberate rather than accidental. The face. Fully lit. Three to five seconds before the hand came up.I knew that face."What the fuck?!"I said it out loud and it did not feel like enough so I said it again. I threw back the covers and stood up and then dropped back down because my legs were not sure what the correct response was. I opened the video a fourth time. Then I put the phone face down on the

  • Falling for My Best Friend's Brother   336: Going on

    Avery's POVI walked into the first lecture of the week and took a seat at the front.Not because the front was where I usually went. I was a middle-row person, left side, the seat with the right angle to the board without feeling like I was in the spotlight. The front was where people who needed to feel visible went, or people who needed to not be visible from behind.I was the second kind this week.The view from the front was different. The board was closer than I was used to and the lecturer was closer and the space that usually existed between me and the rest of the room was gone. But nobody behind me could take a photo of my face without me seeing them do it. Nobody could lean over to a friend and point and think I would not notice. From the front I could see the door and I could see the board and I could not see the room.That was the point.The lecture was Urban Planning. I had my laptop open before anyone else was settled and my notes from last week on the screen and my eyes

  • Falling for My Best Friend's Brother   185: The message

    Avery's POV Neither of us moved for a few seconds.The message was still on the screen and I was still holding the phone and the warmth that had been in the car thirty seconds ago had gone somewhere I could not get back to. Liam was looking at me expectant, seeing the confusion on my face and I wa

  • Falling for My Best Friend's Brother   183: Advice

    Liam's POV"Start with tonight," I said. "Write down exactly what your manager said to you in that meeting. Not a summary, the actual words as close as you can remember them. Date it, time it, note that it was a private meeting and that you were the only two people present."She was watching me car

  • Falling for My Best Friend's Brother   182: Her life

    Liam's POVShe did not start immediately.She looked at the windscreen for a moment, hands in her lap, and I waited. I had learned early on that Avery did not respond well to being rushed into things. She got there on her own or she did not get there, and pushing only made her pull back, so I sat i

  • Falling for My Best Friend's Brother   179: Possibilities

    Avery's POVI walked slowly.Not because I had anywhere else to be before I left for the night, but because the changing room was at the end of the corridor and I was not ready to be around other people yet. The corridor was mine for now and I was going to use it.Third complaint.I turned it over
