NOW

Now that I know the truth about Molly’s father, I’m more determined than ever to figure out where she went. And why she lied. Nixon said I should talk to Coach Miller, so that’s what I’m going to do.

When Coach sees me standing outside his office, he makes a hard stop, seems to consider turning around.

“I need to talk to you,” I say.

He frowns and then says, “All right, kid. Let’s go inside.”

I take a seat on the other side of his desk, and instead of sitting across from me, he plops down beside me. Removes his baseball cap and runs a hand through his hair. His eyes fall on the mess that clutters his workspace: scattered papers, spilled pens, a Steelers mug, and a photo of him with a toddler I know is his. I look at the kid, at his innocent, smiling face. He’s raising one hand and grabbing his father’s nose. And his dad, Coach Miller, is holding him with both arms. It’d be impossible for him to fall with so much support.

“You here to talk to me about Molly?” Coach Miller asks.

I narrow my eyes in surprise. And suspicion.

Coach sighs and leans forward, puts his forearms on his thighs. “I’m not judging, okay, kid? I don’t know what was going on between the two of you.”

He must register the confusion on my face, because he says, “Wait, that’s why you came in here, right? The report?”

“What report?” I ask. “Someone told me I should talk to you about Molly.”

Coach Miller shakes his head. “Aw, crap, kid. The thing is, there were too many people saying the same thing. I had to turn in what I’d heard. I’m not saying I—”

Unease crawls across my skin. “What were people saying?”

“Look, to me, you and Molly seemed pretty happy. I was glad when you found someone to talk to. To tell the truth, I hoped it might bring you into my office one day, so I could get you on the team.” A little smile from him here. It doesn’t last long. “Anyway, I started hearing from some of the kids that Molly wasn’t entirely…happy, you know?”

“Wasn’t happy about what?” I ask.

Coach Miller cocks his head.

“With me?” I ask, stupefied. “With us?”

Coach Miller leans back, and as a look of sympathy crosses his face, pulsing rage fires through me. How can I turn on him this quickly? This man who brought me a scone from his favorite coffee shop when I told him I’d never had one. This man who grabbed me by the shirt and told me, Come on, kid. I’ll drive you home, okay? when he saw me sitting outside the gym, fuming because someone had taped a photo of a gorilla on my locker.

“Look, I have to ask, Cobain. Are you sure you were both totally in your relationship?”

“Yes.” No hesitation.

He frowns. “Well, I think Molly might have been telling a different story to her friends. Some of the guys on my team, I guess she told them or their girlfriends or whatever that you were coming on a little strong.
