Skylar's pov
"Hayes! Take it off!! The shoulder strap! Take it off." I heard as I did what they asked.

They signaled me to get on the field in front fo the goal. My arm wasn't hurting as much as it use to.

I watched as a coach carefully kicked the ball making me catch it. I tossed it back and he did harder each time.

He started to back up giving more powered kicks has I blocked them.

"Put the shoulder strap on now." He said and I was confused.

Anna threw down the shoulder strap as I put it on. The coach did the same thing again as I did without it.

I kinda get it now... it's as if he is training me.

I was able to dive on my left but barely on my right without hurting. We practiced for at least an hour and tired me out.

Anna's POV
"You think she will be able to play?" Sadie asked me and I shrugged.

"She's doing good.she can barely dive on her left but that's her only weakness." I said.

"Aww... she's actually watching her. That's really cute." Layla said on my other side.

I smiled slightly has I watched Skylar successfully block the balls.

"Have you two had sex yet?" I heard making me freeze.

"Uhh... n-no?" I said lying.

"Are you... sure?" Sadie said as she got closer to me.

"Nope. I respect boundaries obviously." I said and they eyed me.

"Mhmm... okay." Layla said and they both walked away after being called out.

~~~~~

"So... you gonna play?" I asked Skylar who was watching tv.

"Yeah... They said they will put me in for a few." She said and I nodded. There was only two goalies out of 20 people being out on the field.

"So... how long you think they gonna put you in?" She asked me.

"I don't know haven't told me yet. The games tomorrow..." I said and she nodded.

"Why don't we just sleep. We need rest for tomorrow." I said laying down next to her.

She turned off the light and we fell asleep almost instantly.

I stayed awake... I couldn't help but think what this weird feeling is about Skylar. After all I'm using her has a bet and that's not a good impression.

Does she have feelings for me? Do I have feelings for her?

No I don't. I have to push these away. Fake it. Fake it till you make it... shut these feelings down and replace them with fake ones. And than take the move and go for the kill...

It's like a mission... and in return you get money... break her a little one by one until she's in pieces... that's all I have to do. She can mend herself... right? I hate to feel this way.

I feel like a killer. I feel like I'm slitting someone's throat or stabbing someone's heart that instantly kills them. But I have no feelings. I look down at the dead body who can't mend itself anymore... the feelings... the dead feelings... and the corpse of a dead body.

I hope you guys understand that... sorry I've been reading way to many books in my free time...

Skylar's pov
"Skylar wake up." I heard has I felt a pillow land on my face.

I than felt water on my face making me get up.

"Alright alright! I'm up!" I yelled.

"We're late!!" Anna yelled as I looked at the clock to see it was 11... we were suppose to be at the stadium by 11:30.

I ran to grab my clothes and brush my hair and teeth. Fuck... we had 15 to get there as I saw my shoulder strap I stuffed in my duffel bag and ran out the door following Anna.

We got in the Uber and drove to the stadium as I looked over at Anna.

"Here take this." Anna said giving me one of those powder things that gives you energy or some shit.

"Pour it in your water bottle. And shake the bottle." I did and started to drink.

We got out of the car as I watched a bus full of people on the other side of the field.

"That must be the other team." I heard Anna.

"HAYES WE NEED YOU!!" I heard looking down to see the coach looking at me.

I threw my duffel bag at Anna who took it to the locker room. I went down and saw the coach signaling me to be in front of the goal.

The next thing was unexpected... I felt him going to the half court of the field and kicked it as hard has he could. It was heading for my right side as I dove down.

The pain in my arm shot up but I kept my pain down low so nobody could realize.

We did this at least over 20 times before he told me to take a break.

~~~~~~

The game was starting. I sat on the bench with Anna as she was watching the other team play. They were good... but our team was even better.

I was playing with my shoulder strap so I could have good access and padding. It was almost 5 minutes in when I saw the girl in the goal let out a scream.

The game stopped and the damage was done... the dark damage of every sport player's worse fear.

She was taken in on a aid car before they came back with results...

She tore her ACL...
