Chapter 14

Jackson

I want to rip his fucking head off.

I wake up thinking about everything Ameeriah told me last night.

I knew Ryan was a complete and total fucking dumbass but cheating? With her best friend? What the fuck.

I finally get out of bed and throw on some sweats and a t-shirt before heading to practice.
I can't stop thinking about that fucking bitch Ryan and what he did to Ameeriah.

The air is crisp and the birds are chirping as I walk over to the rink.

Getting on the ice feels good but I just need more.
With every skate, I'm going as hard as I can, feeling my chest start to burn.

Coach splits us into teams and we start to scrimmage.
As we start to move into our teams, Wes skates over to me.
"J you good?" He asks.

Huh?

"Yeah I'm fine why wouldn't I be good?"
He raises his brows defensively. "Nothing you just look..nevermind let's just go play," he says and skates over to his position.

We start to play and I see Elijah from the other team pass the puck to Max, and as soon as I see him take a stride, I go after him.

I think I'm skating faster than I ever have before.
When I make it over to Max trying to make a goal, I slam him into the boards as hard as I can with a hit that causes him to recoil off the boards before he lands and I hear the crack of the ice as he falls.

"Dammnit Jackson," Max groans.

I gulp, feeling like I just came back to reality. I blink a couple of times.
"Sorry man," I say as I reach a hand out to Max.

He takes it and I help him up and we start to skate back to our sides.
Wes catches up to me. "You think you wanna chill a little bit? It's just practice Jackson, save that for the games," he says as he skates off.

Fuck, I don't know what got into me.

I hit the showers and then we grab my stuff before we leave.
"You wanna go grab breakfast?" Wes says as he shuts his locker.
"Yeah," I say as I pop an Advil into my mouth.

Wes notices. "You were going fucking hard today man, I would applaud you but you almost broke one of our starters."
"Yeah," I say lowly as we walk out the door.

"Do you wanna.." He pauses like the next words are paining him to say. "..talk about it?"
"Yeah actually I.." I start but drift off when I realize that I can't tell him anything about Ameeriah. "Just family stuff," I say as a quick recover.

"Oh ok," he nods as we walk up to his truck.

We picked a diner for some breakfast and I ordered some chocolate chip waffles, some hashbrowns and an orange juice.

We eat and chat and then we drive back to our apartment.
Wes heads over to Adare's dorm and I decide to go get some studying done on campus.

I head over to a little cafe that's right beside one of our gyms and go to find a seat.

I study for what seems like five hours, it was one, before I get a text and reach for my phone and see that it's Max.

Max Are you on campus?

Me Yeah why

Max My org is going a fundraiser and it's called a blindfold maze and you need a partner but the people who were gonna fill up our last spot just dropped, can you come fill in??

Me I would but I don't have anyone with me rn

I close out of messages and call the first person I think of.
