The Girl He Never Knew Chapter 73: His
ELENA'S POV I sat at a small table on the second floor, my notebook open in front of me, pretending to review the notes Jax had promised to return to me. The truth was I was hiding from the way Noah had behaved. From the way my own heart kept betraying me every time I thought about him and I just didn't expect him to find me here. The heavy wooden door at the end of the aisle creaked open, and for a moment the low murmur from the study room downstairs drifted up before the door swung shut again. I looked up out of habit, the way anyone would and my stomach dropped. Noah walked in. He was still in his practice clothes with gray hoodie, sweatpants, hair damp and messy. His eyes swept the rows once, twice, and then found mine across the long aisles of books like they always did like magnets and his jaw locked. He didn't sit down. He didn't pretend to look for a book. He walked straight toward my table, long strides eating up the distance between us, and the few students still scattered
The Girl He Never Knew Chapter 72: Two Can Play This Game
NOAH'S POVThe text from Ethan came in at 7:12 p.m.I was in my dorm, half-watching Game Of Thrones for the fourth time on my laptop, half-thinking about the way Elena had looked at me at the party when she saw me with Ashley. Ethan: Heads up. Elena agreed to dinner with Jax tonight. Said she needs her notes back. Don’t do anything stupid.I stared at the screen for three full minutes. Three minutes of my brain refusing to process the words. Three minutes of my heart slamming against my ribs like it wanted out. Three minutes of that hot rage rising in my chest again, the same one that had made me swing on Jax in class, the same one that made me follow her in the rain, and the same one that made me want to burn everything down just to keep her close."Dinner with Jax."Why the fuck was she having dinner with Jax? What was her motive? Was is a comeback for being with Ashley? If it was, it's downright petty and immature. I stood up so fast my chair scraped loudly against the floor. My h
The Girl He Never Knew Chapter 71: I’m Not Jealous
ELENA’S POVThe party was loud, chaotic, and exactly the kind of place I didn’t want to be. But apparently Lora would not hear about it. After telling her about the night everything happened between Noah and I, she couldn't believe it."What the hell was that, Elena?" Lora had all but screamed. "You've both crossed a really dangerous line."Music thumped through the frat house like a second heartbeat, bass vibrating up through the floorboards into my bones. Red Solo cups littered every surface. People laughed too loud, danced too close, and pretended the world outside didn’t exist. I’d only come because Lora dragged me, promising it would be “good for me” to get out after everything with Noah, promising it'll be the best for my mental health like this party was helping my mental health right now.I regretted it the second I saw him.Noah stood near the makeshift bar in the living room, a red cup in one hand, the other resting casually on the small of a blonde girl’s back. She was beau
The Girl He Never Knew Chapter 70: Blood, Lip, And Ruin
NOAH'S POV The knock on her door was soft and I knew she had heard it by all means.I stood in the dimly lit hallway of her dorm building, blood still drying on my hoodie, my split lip throbbing with every heartbeat. My knuckles burned where they’d split open against Jax’s face. I shouldn’t be here. I should’ve gone back to my own room, iced my hand, and tried to forget the way my friend’s words had cut deeper than any punch.But I couldn’t stay away. The door opened. Elena stood there in nothing but an oversized t-shirt and sleep shorts, hair messy like she’d been tossing and turning. Her eyes widened the second she saw me with the blood on my lip, the bruise blooming along my jaw, and the raw splits on my knuckles. For a split second, something soft and worried flashed across her face. Then it hardened into that familiar fire I craved like oxygen.“What the hell happened to you?” she demanded, her brows furrowing obviously not liking the sight of me on her doorstep.I didn’t answer
The Girl He Never Knew Chapter 69: Broken Things, Broken People
Elena’s POVThe knock on my dorm door came at 11:47 p.m.I knew it was him before I even opened it. My heart did that stupid little flip it always did when Noah was near, even when I was mad at him especially when I was mad at him.I opened the door.Noah stood in the hallway looking like he’d been dragged through hell. His gray hoodie had a smear of dried blood on the collar. His bottom lip was split open, swollen, and there was a fresh bruise blooming along his jaw. His knuckles on his right hand were split too. He looked exhausted. Guilty and still so stupidly beautiful it made my chest ache.“What happened?” I asked.He just stood there, eyes searching mine like he was waiting for me to slam the door in his face.“Jax,” he finally said. “We got into it during class.”I stared at him. “You fought Jax? Your friend?”He nodded once. “He said something he shouldn’t have.”I didn’t ask what. I wasn’t sure I wanted to know. Instead, I stepped aside and let him in. The door clicked shut
The Girl He Never Knew Chapter 68: Broken Trust
NOAH’S POVMy sneakers screeched against the hardwood of the court, a sharp, piercing sound that ricocheted off the steel rafters and drilled directly into my skull. "Again!" Coach barked from the baseline, his whistle clamped between his teeth. "Blue line and back, Hale! Look like you actually want to be in the tournament tomorrow!"My lungs were on fire but the physical pain was the only thing keeping me from completely snapping. I slammed the ball onto the floor, catching it on the rebound, and sprinted.I needed the burn. I needed my muscles to scream and my vision to blur at the edges. I was trapped. Every single wall I’d ever built to keep myself safe had just turned into a cage."Yo, Captain! Heads up!"The voice cut through my haze just as I hit the three-point line.Jax. He caught my chest pass, his sneakers sliding on the glossy floor as he spun and dropped a casual layup through the net. He was grinning, his dark curls damp with sweat, completely unbothered by the fact th
The Girl He Never Knew Chapter 59: The Line We Drew
ELENA’S POVThe hotel clerk looked genuinely sorry as he delivered the news.“I’m so sorry, Miss Voss. Due to the regional tournament overflow, we’re completely overbooked. We only have one room left and it only has one king bed.”I stared at him. “You’re joking.”He wasn’t.Noah stood beside me, s
The Girl He Never Knew Chapter 58: Asphalt and Ash
NOAH’S POVFour hours on the road. Four hours of watching the flat, gray highway lines get swallowed up by the front bumper. Most of the guys were out cold, their massive frames twisted into impossible angles across the double seats. Ethan was two rows ahead of me, his massive leg brace propped up
The Girl He Never Knew Chapter 57: Hot Noah, Cold Noah
ELENA’S POVThe press room felt like a meat locker.The air conditioning was cranking, but it didn't do anything to clear out the heavy, suffocating scent of cheap coffee, damp rain jackets, and the predatory hunger of thirty reporters crammed into a space meant for fifteen. They were packed shoul
The Girl He Never Knew Chapter 56: Fire
NOAH'S POV The whispers hit me first.They slithered through the gym like smoke spreading from group to group near the water fountain and bleachers. I was finishing cool down stretches when I caught the words “screenshot,” “Lucas,” and “Elena.” My stomach tightened instantly.I straightened up, wi
