Day 3 Texts

Knox

I fucked up with that hit on Levi

Leila

Yeah, you did

Knox

I saw him yelling at you and I lost it

Leila

That’s not an excuse

Knox

I Know. But I need you to understand that watching him scream at you through that glass and seeing the look on your face gutted me

Leila

So you decided to injure him?

Knox

I wasn’t thinking

Leila

Clearly

Knox

I wanted to protect you

Leila

From my own brother?

Knox

From anyone who hurts you

Leila

He didn’t hurt me

YOU hurt me. All three of you

Riven

We know

Jagger

I’m sorry I lost it too and punched him.

Leila

Why did you punch him?

Jagger

He called you something I won’t repeat

Leila

What did he call me?

Knox

Don’t

Riven

You don’t need to know

Leila

Tell me

Jagger

He called you a puck bunny

Leila

Oh well that’s what everyone thinks now anyway

Knox

We don’t think that

Riven

Never

Jagger

You’re not a puck bunny. You’re a fucking queen. A goddess

Leila

I get it. But that doesn’t excuse fighting over me

Knox

You’re right, we should have walked away

Leila

But you didn’t

Jagger

We couldn’t. Not when it came to you

Leila

That’s not romantic, Jagger. That’s violent

Jagger

I know but it’s the truth

Knox

We’ll work on it

Riven

And be better

Leila

You have to be

I can’t deal with you three fighting my brothers over me every time you play

Jagger

Even if they deserve it?

Leila

ESPECIALLY if they deserve it. They’re my brothers, and I get to be mad at them. You don’t

Knox

Understood

Leila

Good

Now tell me what you remember about the rink

Jagger

Why?

Leila

Because I want to know

Jagger

That feels like a trap

Leila

It’s not a trap

I just want to know what you were thinking

Jagger

Honestly?

Leila

Honestly

Jagger

I was thinking about how fucking beautiful you looked skating

How I wanted to rip that mask off and kiss you right there

Knox

I was thinking about how stunning you looked naked

Riven

I was thinking about how much I wanted you

Leila

And now?

Jagger

Now I want you even more

Is that possible? To want someone more than you already did?

Leila

You’re being ridiculous

Jagger

I’m being honest

For once

Feels weird

Leila

Get used to it, if this is going to work

Knox

We will be

Riven

Always

Jagger

Scout’s honor

Leila

Were you a scout?

Jagger

No

But I could have been

Leila

You’re impossible

Jagger

Impossibly in love with you

Leila

Stop saying that

Jagger

Why?

Leila

Because it makes it harder to stay mad at you

Jagger

I want it to be hard to stay mad

Knox

We want you to forgive us

Riven

Even though we don’t deserve it

Leila

You’re right, you don’t deserve it. But I’m thinking about it anyway

Jagger

THINKING ABOUT IT

Knox

Riven

You won’t regret it.

Leila

I have to go. I’m meeting Abby

Jagger

Tell her we say hi

Leila

She wants to murder you

Knox

We deserve it

Leila

You do

Riven

But you don’t want her to, right?

Leila

No
