Chapter 4

Authors note: Warning at the end of the chapter there is a brief paragraph that mentions religious if you are not comfortable with reading it feel free to skip. It does not have a major affect on the story. Enjoy!
"I want you running as hard as you can, you stop you're done," Coach screams as we finish doing our tenth suicide. I help a few guys of the ground and coach dismisses us for water.

"Dang who put a stick up his butt," Carter walk over to me drinking his water. I look over at him with a glare.

"You should be able to do it without complaint," I walk over to coach,"They are such babies."

"And this Ms.Evans is why you will be my starting quarterback," he whispers in my ear with a smile. I nod my head and try not to freak out. We run through practice doing drills which I try to perfect every inch of my game.This is how it went the rest of the week. Football, homework,hang out with Duke,sleep,school,repeat. And somewhere in there I found a way to sleep.

"I can't believe you are leaving already," I cry hugging Duke at the airport.

"Hey you're coming out for Thanksgiving which is in just a few months, imma miss you Skye." He comforts me.

"I love you Duke."

"I love you too Skye," he says one last time for getting on his flight. I walk back to the jeep tears in my eyes and drive to the pizza shack Duke and I went to a lot while he was here. By the time I get them I seem like a total wreck getting a table by myself I order a pizza. As I am a quarter way done I hear a loud group of boys walk in. Figures it is Carter, Jake, and Ryan. I sulk down and hope they don't see me but know they do when Carter comes over.

"Hey baby girl what are you doing here all alone?" I look up ignoring him and go back to eating my pizza. I guess he took that as an invitation to sit down next to me,"seriously though are you alright?" I look into his eyes,his piercing blue eyes. He seemed somewhat caring at this moment in time.

"Duke left today," I look down and play with my food.

"I'm sorry, I know you guys are really close, it must have been really hard on you moving and all that," he turns my head towards his as he tells me this. To say I am in complete shock is an understatement. Carter actually has a sensitive side, who would have guessed.

"It was, you have no idea," I allow myself to actually open up to him.

"Well why don't you tell me," he states putting his arm around me just as his friends walk over," and you can tell me in bed after you scream my name." His friends whistle and tell him he scored. With that I start crying and leave. For one second I actually thought I liked him and was going to trust him, but now I know he just wanted to get me. I run out of the shack with tears in my eyes again and forget to look across the street. Just as I remember to turn I am too late. Next thing I knew I was on the ground with a pain all over and a mystery face leaning over me mumbling I am so sorry I am so sor...

Carters POV

I looked over at this girl who seems so strong broken down. I wanna know about her for some reason every little thing about her. And I wanna see her smile, I wanna be the reason she smiles. And looking at her tear soaked right now I wanna make her smile. The thing is for the first time I actually care about this girl, but no way can anyone know. That the player went soft from some girl. When Jake and Ryan walk over I can't help but go to my cover and make it seem like I finally got this girl in bed. When she gets up and runs away I am instantly filled with regret. Crap I have to go fix this. I go to follow her when I see the car coming my heart drops. I try to scream her name to warn her but nothing comes out. I watch her beautiful self flail in slow motion. I run over and kneel down next to her motionless body,"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry Skye." I lean over her. This is all my fault if I wouldn't have been a jerk she wouldn't have ran out. What if she doesn't make it? What if she can't play football? She is so good I hate to admit it but she is best on the team. For the first time in a long time I prayed, I prayed for Skye and I prayed for god to help me be better person. I think a single tear fell but I quickly wiped it away when the ambulance got there and asked what happened.
