Zach's P.O.V
Something is telling me to tell him...but I just can't.
I promised Star I wouldn't and I can't just do that to her.
But he has to know.
Star forgive me...
"Coach?"I say
He stopped talking to Kevin for a second.
"Yes Zach"he says
"Uh...uh"I say
"Well?"he says
I can't do it.
"Can you sit me out tomorrow night?"I say
"Why?"he says
"I'm just not feeling too good"I say
I look behind him to see Kevin trying to get me to tell coach.
"Oh. Well I hope you feel better"he says
"Yeah"I say, lowly
Him and Kevin stare at me.
"Me too"I say
I walk away from them.
I couldn't do it. I wouldn't be able to deal with myself if I told him. Star wouldn't have talked to me.
*****
Leaving practice this morning, I felt guilt begin to take over.
Over the years I have learned to make a good relationship with my coaches.
But keeping secrets from them was never my intention.
Nor trying to hurt my girlfriend.
Ugh, I'm in some deep shit right now.

"I scheduled my doctors appointment for next Thursday"Star says
"That's great babe"I say, plainly
"What's wrong? You don't look too happy"she says
I shrug.
"Life"I say
"Oh...I've been there before"she says
I chuckle.
"So, is the sickness settling down a bit?"I say, sitting her on my lap
"Yeah...could be better though"she says
I kiss her cheek.
"It will be better, I promise"I say
She smiles. I lay my head on her shoulder and sigh.
"Who are you guys playing tomorrow?"she asked
"The Sacramento Kings"I say
She nods against my head. She kisses my forehead and makes patterns on the back of my neck.
"I love your tall ass"she says
I grin and look up at her.
"You're short, but I love you just as much"I say
She giggles. I hug her waist. She wraps my arms around my neck and hugs me, tightly.
She's one to keep.

Popsicles!...Hot Pockets!...Food!
I'm craving a bunch of different foods. This has never happened before.
