There’s a knock on the door, and I drag myself out of bed. The first couple days of me being at home and wallowing, Ashton and Brayden would stop by and try to get me to open the door, but after Drew told them I needed time, they stopped. Not ready to leave and deal with the real world, I emailed my professors and feigned sick. They were nice about it, letting me know the work I need to do to stay caught up, and it bought me a few days.

Now, it’s Friday and Drew and Brayden are leaving for an away game, so I could probably get away with leaving my apartment, but there’s still Ashton. I haven’t seen or spoken to him since I caught him and Brayden lip-locked, and I don’t think I’m ready yet. I haven’t even turned my phone on. It’s been quiet and peaceful… and lonely.

The knock sounds again, and my heart picks up speed at the thought of Ashton being on the other side of my door. I bring my eye to the peephole, mentally preparing myself for seeing the man who’s stolen my heart and shattered it, but instead, I see Drew.

“Hey,” I say, opening the door so he can come in. “I thought you had a game.”

“We do.” He closes the door behind him. “But when I stopped by before, I noticed you didn’t have any food in your fridge.” He raises his arms, holding a coffee in one hand and a bag in the other.

“Thanks,” I mutter, taking the items from him and setting them on the counter. “But you don’t have to take care of me.”

“I know, but I’m worried about you. You’ve been holed up in this apartment all week, and you haven’t eaten anything…”

“I’m fine,” I snap. “Anyway, what about you? Yeah, you’ve gone out, but have you talked to Brayden or Ashton?”

His look of guilt tells me my answer: he hasn’t.

“I’m planning to. I just need some time.”

“And so do I.”

He nods. “Okay, I have to head out. The bus is leaving soon, but if you need anything—”

“I have your number. Now go.” I playfully push his shoulders. “Focus on the game and don’t worry about me.”

I pull the door open and Drew and I come face to face with Sasha. “There you are,” she says, raking her eyes down the length of my body. “Where the heck have you been?” Her nose bunches up in disgust. “And why do you look like… that?”

Then, as if just realizing there’s someone else here, her eyes land on Drew. “Who are you?” Her brows furrow in thought.

“I’m just leaving,” Drew says stiffly. I’m confused by his abrupt answer, until I remember… He’s the coach, and I’m a student. And…

“Are you the guy from the club?” Sasha asks, quickly putting the pieces together.

“I’ll talk to you later,” I say to Drew, practically pushing him out the door, while pulling Sasha inside, so she can’t bombard him with questions.
