The Hockey Star’s Remorse

Chapter 141

The news of Timothy and Stella’s engagement had taken the world by storm, and the media was abuzz with excitement. Social media platforms were flooded with congratulatory messages, and the hashtag #TELLA trended at the top of every chart. It seemed that the entire world had fallen in love with the idea of their union.

As I sat in my dimly lit apartment, the glow of my laptop screen casting eerie shadows across the room, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of disbelief wash over me. It was as if I had been transported to a parallel universe, one where the rules of reality no longer applied.

Aria had been quick to notice my sullen mood. She had been pushing me to talk about the situation, to express my feelings, but I couldn’t find the words. The truth was, I didn’t even know how to begin to unravel the tangled mess of emotions that had taken root within me.

I stared at the screen, my fingers poised over the keyboard, but the words remained elusive. It was as if a thick fog had settled over my thoughts, obscuring my ability to process the whirlwind of events that had unfolded.

Aria’s voice broke through the silence, her tone gentle but persistent. “Evie, you can’t keep bottling this up. You need to talk about it.”

I sighed, my shoulders slumping. “There’s nothing to talk about. She’s pregnant, and now they’re getting married.”

Aria moved closer. “And that’s a lot to take in. You don’t have to process this alone.” The silence stretched between us, heavy with unspoken thoughts and feelings. As I continued to scroll through the news articles and social media posts, one thing became painfully clear: the world had officially dropped any support for #TEVIE. Once upon a time, I might have held some disdain for the attention, but now it only served as a painful reminder of what could have been. The world had moved on, and I felt more lost and disconnected than ever before..

Aria’s voice broke through my reverie, her tone laced with a hint of excitement. “How about this? I was thinking about heading to a brewery tonight with Mike and Lucas. You want to come?”

Chapter 141

I had almost forgotten about Aria’s new love, Mike, and a pang of jealousy flickered. deep within me. It was a fleeting emotion, one that I quickly pushed aside. Aria deserved happiness, and I couldn’t begrudge her that.

I forced a smile, trying to muster the energy to engage with the outside world. “Sure, Aria. That sounds like a good idea. I could use a change of scenery.”

Aria’s face lit up with a smile, and she clapped her hands together. “Great! It’ll be fun, I promise.”

As I got ready for the evening, the prospect of stepping out of my apartment and into the world filled me with a strange mixture of anticipation and anxiety. It had been a while since I had socialized with anyone outside of work, and the thought of navigating the complexities of human interaction felt daunting.

Aria’s enthusiasm was contagious, though, and I couldn’t help but feel a glimmer of hope. Maybe a night out with friends was exactly what I needed to clear my mind and find some semblance of peace amidst the chaos.

As we made our way to the brewery, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of detachment from the world outside. It was as if I were an observer, watching life unfold from a distance, unable to fully immerse myself in the experiences of others.
