it's late. really late. so late that i'm pretty sure the sun is rising soon. i'm sure i'm the only one up, except for one person. taryn tkachuk, all though it's probably because of the time difference, i like to think we are just locked in and stay up until the same time. i gotta tell her about trev before i tell jack because if anyone knows how it feels having good hockey players for brothers, it's her. i decide to text her even though i'm probably delusional anyways. opening snap, i click on her name.

kristmas

taryn it up

after explaining the whole situation to her all she can do is send a snap with her jaw dropped and then a chat shortly after.

i take a deep breath before turning off my phone and setting it down on my bed. i get up and my eyes shift to my window. holy shit. i can see into trevor's window from here. his light is on from what i can see. why is he awake rn? i look away not wanting to be creepy and make my way to jacks room at the other end of the hall by the stairs. a small light is shining through the gap at the bottom of his door. why is everyone awake right now. my hand goes up and i lightly knock. shuffling is heard before he opened the door between us.

"hey are you okay? why are you up?" jack questions backing up to let me through. i sit down on his bed and he quickly does the same. suddenly my hands are super interesting. out the the corner of my eye i can see jack studying my face. "seriously what's up you're making me nervous"

"please don't freak out and just let me talk until the end." i look back up at his eyes as he slowly nods his head. "i um. i know that you always tell me to not mess with your friends or teammates but um i just, i really like trevor. i'm really sorry i wish it was someone else and i don't mean to disrespect you at all because you're my brother and i love you a lot. he's really kind and funny and i honestly think he likes me too. i wanted to tell you before it become anything more then a crush just because i think you deserve that." my head slowly lifts to look at him and he doesn't look happy at all.

"you done?" i nod my head. "kris. he was literally the one person i asked you not to date. i mean how could you be so, so fucking selfish? what happens if you guys don't work out? you know how awkward it would be between him and me? get over him you guys can't do anything." he scoffs and i'm shocked. i tried to be nice in the way i explained it but i guess that doesn't change anything.

"jack please. i can't just get over him. it's not that simple. what if things work out between us?" i whisper yell at him. he just shakes his head and gets up turning off his tv. i take that as a sign for me to leave.

laying in my bed, i replay the conversation over again. how could he say IM selfish? i warned him i don't care anymore. we'll just sneak around him. he can't say i didn't tell him.

kristmas
ya so he still is refusing to "allow it"

taryn it up
damn well at least you told him. are you gonna just work around him orrrr

kristmas
yup

taryn it up
so does trevor know that

kristmas
i mean it's been kind of suggested and i think he knows. if not i'll quickly say something, we still don't know for sure that he likes me so if i say something he might think it's weird

taryn it up
whatever you say girl
