Couple of months later
Madison pov
Today is the day of the sports banquet. At the end of every school year, our school hosts a banquet to recognize each sport. There are awards that are given. I'm at Trevor's house helping him get ready. He helps me put my necklace on.
"Are you nervous?" He asks.
"Yeah a little. How about you?" I ask him.
"I'm very nervous." He says.
"You will be fine." I say as I face him. Trevor is wearing an all black suit and I'm wearing a light blue dress. I start tying his tie.
"Baby, you don't need to stress. I'm pretty sure that you will win something." I say as I fix his chain. Trevor calms down a little.
"You look beautiful." He tells me kissing my cheek. I thank him and rub my hands down his chest.
"You are all set." I say. He checks himself out in the mirror.
"We are going to be the best dressed couple there" He says confidently.
"That's not an award." I say laughing.
At the banquet
"Babe, I'm nervous." Trevor whispers. I grab his hand and rub it.
"You will be fine." I whisper back. The school is doing cheer first and then football. Trevor is bouncing his leg up and down. He always does this when he is really nervous. I put my hand on his thigh.
"Baby, calm down." I whisper, but it doesn't help. Trevor starts biting his nails. I grab his arm and pull him outside.
"Look at me." I tell him. He looks down at me.
"Why are u so nervous, Trev?" I ask.
"I'm not confident in myself." He says.
"But you had one of the best seasons ever in the history of this school." I say.
"I know, but it's more than that." He mumbles. I look at him. What does he mean by that? Trevor takes a deep breath.
"Ever since this season started, I have received a lot of hate. I tried to not listen to the noise, but it's hard when you hear it everyday. So I fell in a bad spot mentally. I know it was hard to notice since I was still doing good in everything. But deep down, I was fighting some demons. I was struggling so fucking hard and no one saw it. I thought that I was alone. I cried myself to sleep so many times I can't fucking count. I picked up a knife to cut myself so many times, but put it down because I love you so damn much and I didn't want to hurt you. There would be days where I wanted to lock myself up in my room, but didn't because I wanted to see my adorable baby girl's face. All of the hate made me fall into depression and made me insecure about myself." He says.

By the time I was done, I was bawling. Madison hugs me tight. She runs her fingers through my hair to calms me down. This was my first time telling this to anyone. It feels like a weight has finally lifted off my shoulders.
"You should have told me sooner, Trevor. I could have help you." She says on the brick of tears.
"Don't cry, Mads. It was my fault for not telling anyone." I tell her.
"It all makes sense now. When you was upset that day and didn't want to do anything. When your smiles weren't genuine anymore. When your eyes were red and puffy from the lack of sleep. The tired and sad look on your face. I should have said something." She says crying.
"Shhhh, it's okay. You can help me now." I tell her.
"How?" She asks.
"You can help me find help. You can help me find a counselor and whatever else I need." I tell her. Madison hugs me tightly.
"I will help you no matter what." She says. I love her so much. We walked in as they were just about to start the football awards. We take our seats and I look at Mads and smile. She smiles back and puts her hand on my thigh.
5 minutes later
My coach walks up to on the stage. He has already announced all of the awards or so I thought. I received best offensive player of the year, best sportsmanship, most valuable player, state mvp and made the all state team. What other awards are left?
"I know you guys are wondering why I'm up here but you all will see soon. I just need to say a couple of words first." Coach says. Mads tap my shoulder.
"Do you know what's going on?" She whispers. I shook my head no. I'm so confused right now.
"I will just like to say how proud I am of my team. We pushed through and won state. I'm so proud of them. I know you all already know about Trevor's terrific and historic junior season and there is one more award that I don't think he is expecting." Coach says before he walks away from the microphone. He pushes a cart on stage and signals for me to come up.
"Ok, Trevor. I want you to uncover this thing I have on my cart on the count of 3." He tells me. I just nod my head.
"1."
I take a deep breath to release some of my nerves.
"2."
So many thoughts are running through my head. Is it a sculpture of me or is it a jacket?
"3."
I pull off the cover and see something I never would've thought.
