"Charlie I'm open!" Peyton yells. They are in the middle of playing Germany and they are up 5-2. Charlie passes the puck to Peyton and she passes it to Adam. He shoots and scores. "Nice puck movement!" Bombay yells from the bench. "Great job Banksie" Peyton says, skating towards Adam. "Right back at you" Adam replies, winking."Change it up!" Bombay yells. Peyton skates over and hops over the wall. She takes off her helmet and sits down on the bench. She takes a sip of her water and looks over at Connie. She sends her a smile but she doesn't return the favor. 'that's weird' Peyton thinks. Connie is her best friend, why is she acting like that? Peyton brushes it off and focuses back into the game. Peyton watches Adam as he swerves through the defense. He goes past 4 players, he goes to the goal and shoots. He scores! Peyton stands up and cheers on her boyfriend.

The game ends and they all head back to their shared dorms and took showers. Peyton finished first and decided to look on her instagram feed. She continued to scroll until she came upon a post that caught her eye. It was a post by Connie. Peyton looked at the picture and then read the caption. "OMG Peyton is so bad, she does not deserve to be on the team, she's not even pretty, Adam should be with someone else instead of her!" Peyton reads out loud. "What the fuck, who does she think she is?!" Peyton says angry. Moments later Connie walk into their dorm. "Hey girl" she says. "Hey." Peyton says with a spit of venom in her voice. "What's wrong with you?" Connie asks. "What's wrong with me?! What's wrong with you?!" Peyton yells at her. "What are you talking about?" Connie asks. "You know exactly what I'm talking about, don't act stupid!" Peyton spits out. "What the Insta post? Why are you taking it so personal?" she replies, still acting dumb. "Because the post was literally about me, Connie!" Peyton yells. "I'm leaving, I can't with your bullshit anymore." Peyton says, walking out of the room. She walks to Adam's room and doesn't even bother knocking. She knew Charlie and Guy wouldn't be in there and it would only be Adam. She opened the door and Adam immediately noticed that something was wrong. He ran up to her and engulfed her into a tight hug. "Hey. Hey. Hey. It's okay" He says calmly as Peyton continues to sob. Adam didn't even need to ask what was wrong because he already knew. He had already seen the post. He knew it hurt her and it hurt him that someone was saying stuff about her like that. Stuff that wasn't true. He continued to let her sob into his chest while he wrapped his arms around her. Peyton pulled away from the hug and looked Adam in the eyes. "Thank you." She says. "Your welcome." he answers. "Are you okay now?"

"Yea, I'm fine"

"You know, you don't have to pretend to be tough around me."

"I know, but I really don't wanna talk about it."

"Okay and I understand that."

"I love you, Banksie"

"I love you too, Pey"

Moments later Charlie comes running into the room and engulfs his sister into a hug. "I'm sorry that she's doing this" he mutters. "It's okay" she replies, fighting back tears. "I'm gonna go back to my dorm and get some rest." Peyton says to the two boys. "Okay, we love you Pey." Adam says as she starts to leave. "Love you guys too."

She walks back to her dorm and doesn't even bother to look at her phone. She figured that there was just going to be another shitty post about her. She walks in and sees Connie and Julie on the bed laughing at something. "What's so funny?" she asks. "Oh nothing" Connie says giggling. "whatever, I don't care anymore, you've been a bitch to me all day." Peyton says, walking into the bathroom. She gets ready for bed and walks out. She lays down on her bed and gets under the covers. She dozes off to sleep and doesn't even bother to listen to what Connie and Julie are saying in the background behind her. She decides to check her phone tomorrow because the last thing she needs is to cry right now. "Hey Peyton!" Connie says. "What, Connie?!" 

"How's your back feeling, whore?" Julie finishes for her. "Why would my back hurt?" Peyton asks slightly confused as to what they would be talking about. "Oh, you know, all that stuff you've been doing with players from our team and other teams." Connie says. "I haven't done anything so fuck off and let me sleep." Peyton defends. "Whatever you say, but we know what you did" Julie says, giggling. 

That night Peyton doesn't get any sleep, all she can think about it what people have been saying about her. It hurts. A lot. The person she had trusted with all her heart, just betrayed her. The person she told everything to. Betrayed her. It was like someone stuck a million little needles in her back and she felt every single one of them. It was wrong in so many ways. She couldn't cry because then they would hear her and make fun of her, so she stayed silent. She faced the wall and got lost in her thoughts.
