The stadium is booming loudly with screams and cheers all for my best friend. Cassie is almost an Olympian.
She's only a junior in college too.
She holds my hand tight and I'm careful and gentle because Cassie, to me needs to be handled like she's fragile. She isn't sensitive or anything, but honestly I don't want even the slightest thing to bring her discomfort. I'm not just overprotective of her, I'm in love. I'm only admiring this but it's not out loud. I love her and keep that shit locked and sealed.
I'd like to think that I let her know subliminally through my actions towards her, always kind and gentle and mindful of what she wants.
I feel her trembling in my hold a bit as we get to the sidelines right where the track is.
"Nika, I don't think I can do this."
"No, no, no, no, no, you can." I look at her deep in the eyes as I make her look at me. "You have come so far, Cas."
"Onika, I can't."
I pull her to the side. She looks fearful and nervous. She bounces a little bit and puffs out her cheeks. She's already dripping sweat. Her coach and I quickly move to dap the sweat particles off of her.
"Cas, look at me."
She finds my eyes amidst the chaos.
"Nick, don't make me do this."
My heart clenches. She used to be like this a lot in high school. Would get real nervous but would always come in in first place.
"You're doing this."
Cassie has been vying to get to the Olympics since she was way younger. I support her fully and I'm not gonna allow some anxiety get in the way of her getting closer to that.
They sound an alarm, counting down for the competitors to get to their spot. I'm not into track like that but they're running and jumping over some things.
