The Coach's Son (boyxboy)

Chapter 20

Hayden POV

It was finally the end of the week and I couldn't be more relived. I hadn't seen Ollie for the rest of the week and I got a little nervous. Where was he? Coach hadn't showed up for two practices, but he showed up on Friday. He appeared to be fine so I assumed so was Ollie. I wasn't dating Ollie anymore so I guess I don't have to care about his well-being, right? Well why did I? Why did I want to pester him to come to class so I can taunt him? Why did I crave him so much? He was a stupid boy. Coach did say he would be willing to except it in time, but how long was I supposed to wait? Ollie broke up with me and he probably used his father as the excuse, right? I didn't know. Man, he made me feel so many different ways.

I got home from practice and was ready for the weekend. As soon as Kai heard Ollie and I split, he was all over me again. He was constantly pestering me to come over or hang around after school. Surprisingly, I turned him down each time. For some reason I was never in the mood, he didn't appeal to me as much anymore. I refused to believe the reason was Ollie. No way would I admit I was whipped even when Ollie wasn't with me. No way!

To even further that point, I was planning on going to a party tonight. I could find a cute guy to hook up with there and officially get Ollie off my mind. Jai and Brett were going to pick me up at ten to go and I was just going to wait until then. I entered my house and saw my family sitting at the kitchen table. As soon as they saw me my mom beckoned me over. I dumped my practice bag onto the floor and headed over to them. Jennifer was typing away on her phone as I sat next to her. "We have some news," my dad spoke first.

"Is it good or bad?" Jennifer questioned, placing her phone down.

"That is a matter of opinion," my mom responded.

There was a long pause and I was growing impatient. "So, what is the news?" I asked impatiently.

"Don't do anything irrational when we tell you," my father warned us, primarily eyeing me. What was his deal? I thought. "We're moving."

"Where?" Jennifer inquired as soon as the last syllable left his lips.

"British Columbia."

What the fuck? We lived in Ontario and British Columbia was across the country. My whole life was here; I couldn't just up and leave. Not to mention I finally got my spot back on the team. How was I supposed to go to coach and tell him it was all for nothing? This had to be a joke. My friends were here, who accepted me. What if my other school was filled with a bunch of homophobes? I could without a doubt fight them off, but I would still be an outcast and that would suck. Not to mention I had to leave Ollie behind and as much as I acted I didn't care about him, I did and I couldn't disappear from his life. I didn't want to. "This is a joke," I deadpanned.

"No, Hayds, it's not," my mom said in a calming voice. "Your dad found a job and it's located in British Columbia and before you complain about finding a job closer, we can't. There are no jobs in your dad's field out here and we need the money."

"I tried, buddy. I know you are probably angry, but hear us out, both of you," my dad began, looking between Jennifer and I. "This could be a good thing, you'd both make a ton of other friends and it is still very much possible to keep in touch with your friends out here."

"No! Dad, we would be across the country! Who am I suppose to start high school with? All my friends are here and I am not starting high school alone," Jennifer exclaimed.
