After it all (Countryhumans)

{Ukranada's POV}

Jenny told me because I got hit by my head, we ended up straight away pass the first attempt and the our enemies couldn't continue as a punishment. That means now we have one week to prepare for the next game. In the practice ring, Rose and dad reserved two rings for us. I was putting on my skates and someone sat next to me. I looked up and saw it was a girl that was in another hockey team and she was also the captain. She took out her hand to do a shake. I looked at her hand and I was hesitating but gave in anyway. She shook it and smiled warmly at me.

-Hey! Next week, we will be fighting each other! Can't wait! What's your name? She asked and let go my hand.

-Name's Ukranada, yours?

-Alice! How's your head?

-It's better.

-You sure?

-Yeah, my friend help me to heal faster.

-Is your friend the guy who carried you out the ring?

-Yeah.

-Oooh~ what's his name?

-Ukranada! Come on, we need to practice! Shouted Jenny and I got up. I said bye to Alice and she waved bye and went to her ring. 

I felt eyes staring me from behind so I turned around, no one was looking at me. I turned back and I felt it again. I ignored it and kept my head on one thing, hockey practice. I went in the ring that had Rose and my teammates and went to the circle that everyone did around the coach.

I kept feeling the pairs of eyes on me and I got goosebumps all around my arms. When practice was done, I saw Alice talking to Estland, I don't know why but, I felt mad and annoyed whenever Estland talks to any girls other than me or his sisters. I know, it's childish, but, I never want to loose Estland with anyone. It felt like the d-

-Heyyoooo Rana, are you alright? Antarland asked and waved his hands in front of me. That snapped me back to reality. I turned my head to Antarland and he looked at me worried.

-Hey.. What's up?

-What's up with you? Why are you staring at Estland~? Are you jealous about Estland talking with someone else? I'll fix that! Antarland skipped towards Estland and put his arm around him and talked to him. He pointed his hand to me and Estland and Alice followed his fingers and saw me. I smiled weirdly and I was nervous. Antarland got back talking with those two. Estland kept staring at me and his arms were crossed while Alice was looking at Antarland talking. I was looking down and secretly looking at Estland from time to time. He started to walk towards me while Antarland was still talking. He tripped because he was using Estland's body for support.

-What's up with you? Estland asked and stopped in front of me still having his arms crossed. My face turned red and I gave him a weird smile and an okay sign with my hand. He hummed.

-Sooo, heh, what were you two talking about?

-Nothing interesting. He answered and looked away, only with his eyes. I hummed quietly and looked down. I don't know why but my blood was boiling with rage and I don't know why. I turned around brutally and marched towards back to the hotel which was just a couple of houses away. Estland tried to take my wrist but I just ran away.

I opened the front door of the hotel with my body and everyone turned towards my attention and I started to shake and tears started to come out. I ran towards the stairs and climbed it, skipping tones of the steps to go to the 5th floor faster. I opened the door with my card and shut it and dropped my bag on the floor and flopped on the bed and hid my face in my arms. I heard the door click open so I knew it was Jenny who opened it.

-Hey hey hey, what's wrong? She asked in a smoothing voice to calm me down. I shook my head, still covered by my arms.

-Nothing. Close the door. I answered with my cracked voice.

-Uh-huh, so you crying is nothing? Girl, you better spill the tea! She said and closed the door and sat on the same bed. I dragged my head and put it on her lap and she pet my head. I spilled everything on her, my anger, my sadness and my... jealousy. 

When I was done, I hid my eyes with one of my arm and sobbed. I heard knocking and I jolted my body up. I looked over the knock and saw Estland was breathless and was standing at the door with wide eyes. He came closer to me slowly asking if he can and I nodded hesitantly. He tackled me with a hug and I was surprised but eventually fall for his hug.

When we were alone because Jenny was hungry and wanted to grab something from down the kitchen. We broke the hug and I was just sitting at the edge and playing with my hand and Estland had his legs crossed on the bed.

-What's up with you today? Why are you being like this? He asked and put his arm around me. I looked at him.

-I'm scared... Don't you get it! I'm scared that you will find another friend and leave me! A-And... I don't want that!

-Don't you know how long we have been best friends with each other?

-Since we were small...

-Yeah, childhood best friend! That's rare.

-Yeah... I guess you're right. But... I just wanna know what you said with Alice...

-I told you, it's nothing important!

-Yeah but, I still wanna know...

-Okay, how about this, once we connect the charms together, the wall of lies between us is broken. Wanna connect now? He asked and showed his charm up to my face. I nodded and connected it and I looked up at Estland and he sighed. -She was just telling me that with the speed I have, I should be the captain. And also she said that I was lucky to have you as my best friend. And that is it. 

-Promise?

-Yes, like I said, once the charms are together, no more lies.

We had to go back to our rooms and go and change and come down and have dinner. I took my leggings and put my shorts over it like I like it. I put an over sized black t-shirt. I'm stressing out for the next game.

{Author's note}

I really needed to get this out and at the same time, fix my sleeping schedule. I had zero time to double check my spelling errors. I am really tired and my mom wont buy me coffee!! I'm sad.
