"With you by my side, I can do anything."

Walking out of the room after having dropped my phone, Jayden ran after me

Walking out of the room after having dropped my phone, Jayden ran after me. I walked all the way until I rounded the corner of Nick's room.

Taking a deep breathe, I walked in before Jayden could protest against it. "Did you know Coach was my dad?" I asked him, glad that it was only him in the room so the others were out of earshot.

"You found out, eh?" He sighed, sitting in a slumped position in his bed. He wore chequered pyjama bottoms and a grey tank top. If only Jayden was that stylish. I'm kidding, geez - keep your [ fakeee ] hair on.

"And you did?" I asked, bloody well astonished. What the flipping heck was this? Was I the only oblivious one to the fact that my football Coach was my dad?

I didn't see the resemblance. Did I even look anything like him?

"Yeah, you really look like him and everything. It was easy after I realised you two had the same last names. It was when Alyssa did all that shit in the cafeteria. I went home that day and realised that the first part of your story matched a lot with my step-dad's story." He trailed on, walking out of his cozy bed and to the kitchen.

"Wait does that make us—-"
"Yup. Welcome to the family, sister." What the heck was even going on at this point? It was like a weight was placed on my shoulders, and I didn't know how to act all of a sudden.

"Aren't you happy?" Nick stopped, and looked at me weirdly.
"Yeah - I guess."

"She just needs time, I guess." Jayden interjected, interlocking his fingers with mine. I looked up at him and he looked straight on at Nick, but I could tell that he was looking at me from the corner of his eyes. His lips upturned and he rolled his eyes, subtly.

"Wait - that makes me your step - brother in law!" Jayden proclaimed and my heart did a double take. Did he just insinuate... oh my Lord...

I'm pretty sure a furious blush took over my features, because my face felt like it was on fire. "Dude, quit it." Nick chuckled, alongside Jayden as they saw my flustered state. I grumbled some colourful words, being sure to whack my boyfriend at the back of his head.

"Wait, can I get a hug? Since, like, I'm your brother now?" He asked and I chuckled, leaving Jayden's side for a quick second to give him a hug.

After a few more minutes, we walked out of his room area. "How do you feel, Princess?" Jayden asked me and I chuckled at the ironic pet name.

"I'm a bit, I don't know, overwhelmed? I seriously did not expect him to be anywhere in this continent, forget him be the coach of my football team." I bit my lip, confused.

"But why were Codes and Ava so perturbed?" I questioned aloud. I didn't know a thing that and they refused to disclose any information.
