The Hunt: A Jesperi Kotkaniemi Fanfiction

26. Jesperi/Sascha

JESPERI

Sascha just broke up with me...

She just did... Like five minutes ago.

I storm inside the house and catched Hailey at the living room crying.

"What the hell did you just say to Sascha?"

She did not answered, instead she rushed to me hugging me and keeps on apologizing.

"What did you do?"

"I told her the truth!" She answered still crying like a complete mess.

"What truth?" I asked completely confused and frustrated at the same time.

"That she's ruining us!"

"Us?!"

"Jesperi, I know! It is crazy but can you just give us a chance?"

"What the fuck are you talking about?!" I finally explode. "Hailey, how many times have I told you that we can't be together! There is absolutely no us!"

"Jesperi..."

"Did you just tell Sascha that Luke is my child? Or maybe the baby you're carrying right now is mine?"

"No! I never said that to her!"

"Yeah! Maybe you didn't! But you just gave her the impression that I am! Hailey, I have given you and our friendship a chance but you keep on betraying me every now and then!"

"I am so sorry! I am just so desperate!" Hailey explained still crying. "I'm so desperate to give Luke a happy family, and the baby I am now carrying."

"Through what? Ruining someone else's life? Ruining my relationship?" I supplied. "I have had enough of you Hailey, because this is the second time you have done this!"

She looked at me in complete shock.

"Yes! I knew what happened few years ago, Kasperi told me!" I said. "You can't just go ruining a fucking beautiful relationship every now and then Hailey! This would be the last one I will let you in our lives from now on. You have gone way too overboard!"

"You can't just kick me out, Jesperi! I have nowhere else to go!"

"You need to go." I firmly said.

I'm still worried with Hailey's kid Luke, so I drove them to the nearest hotel and paid for their one night stay. Hailey was still begging for me but she has done enough and I don't want to deal with how crazy she is anymore.

After that, I called her parents informing them that they need to pick Hailey here in Raleigh and suggested that maybe she needs to go to therapy or something. What she did was totally not a great idea for a normal person, that's for sure! Her parents are actually very worried of her, but I have no time to deal with that anymore I have my own fucking problem to think of.

When I arrived at my apartment, I started calling Sascha back up again. Texted her what I did to Hailey, updating her on everything! I wanted to go chase her, drive down to Winston-Salem but I cannot do it.

I'm flying to Edmonton early tomorrow for the Stanley Cup Playoffs and I won't be home in who knows when! I'll be in the road all the time from now on, and if she'll keep on ignoring my calls and texts or worse--- block me, then there's no other way I can fix this!

Damn you! Hailey for ruining everything I have worked for!

SASCHA

I knew I would be a basket case for the rest of the semester, but I didn't expect it to be because of the hollow cavern in my chest that used to hold my heart.

I haven't seen or spoken to Jesperi in a month. A month is not a long time. You blink, and a week has passed. Blink again, and a year has gone. Seems like, ever since I broke up with Jesperi, time just went back to the way it was when I was a kid.

The kind of time when a school year felt like forever, and a summer never seemed to end. Time has slowed down, and it's a complete torture. The past thirty days may as well be thirty years, or even thirty decades.

I miss my Kk.

But then I just can't forget the fact how he and Hailey managed to made me feel like a goddamn homewrecker! I can't just forget how he made me look like an idiot by lying to me about being just plainly childhood best friends when in fact there's something happened between them before!

I never tolerate cheaters, and I swear all of the homewreckers and it all turns out I became a homewrecker myself!

I know, it is just me. I heard it when Jesperi said that she was lying. But after he said that something happened between them, I just knew that I ruined a chance between him and Hailey!

"Urgghh!!!" I groaned.

I don't want to think about it! It has been a month, why can't I just move on?

"You good?" Bella asks.

"Absolutely not!" I said throwing my books away and rested my head on the table.

"Girl, calm down! For sure our midterm exams won't be that hard." She assured and picked the book. "You better stop studying and let's explore the city right after we're done here."

Bella and I shares almost the same classes in Wake Forest, and she also happens to volunteer on weekends here in the foundation. So both of us then became close friends, and constantly been together twenty-four seven.

"You know what, why can't we just go watch a hockey game tonight?" Bella suggested which made me glare at her. "Henry and his friends invited me to go watch, we should come!"

"Really? That's the best idea to distract me?"

"Oh yeah! Sorry, I forgot. Your ex-boyfriend plays for the Canes." She said, she's the only person who knew about me and Kk because obviously, I told her.

"He's not my ex-boyfriend."

"Oh okay, ex-fling then!" She supplied. "So what are your suggestions then? We need to let loose! And stop thinking about the upcoming midterms for once."

"Stay in the house and sleep?" I suggested.

"Oh come on! I really wanted to hangout with Henry, and his bringing his friends. Maybe you can meet some cute boys in there and just distract yourself!"

"No."

"Oh please?" My friend insisted wearing puppy eyes. Which made me to snort.

"Well, perhaps I'll try." Again, I admit it. I miss Kk, for sure it won't be so hard for me to watch him from afar and just see even a little glimpse of him.

There are thousands of people in the arena, he won't see me by then.

"Don't try, just do it!"
