It's just me and you

Chapter 18- Pre-game

Y/N's POV

This might just be one of the worst days of my life, and it hasn't even started.

Last night was nothing but a struggle. I couldn't sleep, I was incredibly nervous and once again, I let my overthinking get the better of me. I tried everything imaginable to get me to fall asleep but unfortunately all of my attempts ended up failing miserably.

I'm sitting here watching the sunrise through my bedroom windows. I mentally curse myself and harshly pull the bed sheets over my head to block out the unnecessary light from my field of vision.

I just wish I had fallen asleep or had the chance to do so at least for a little bit, but it's far too late now. I have important things to do and sleeping just isn't on my schedule, not anymore.

The reasoning behind this unfortunate occurrence is that today is Saturday, but it's not just any ordinary Saturday. It's my teams first official game tonight and I can't stop thinking about it.

My mind goes to every possible outcome that could occur tonight and they're not exactly positive thoughts. What if someone gets hurt? What if I get hurt? What if we lose? Thoughts like that stopped me from having a peaceful nights rest.

Usually I'm not that nervous before a game but this time it's different and I know exactly why. She's going to be there. She's going to be watching me and I'd hate to disappoint.

I have no choice but to just push those thoughts beyond me, I need to think positively or else I'm probably going to accidentally manifest an unfortunate result.

Anyways I made a deal with Lizzie and Cameron, to meet them both for breakfast this morning at the local downtown diner. I don't eat breakfast but a coffee will surely suffice.

I hesitantly get out of my bed and begin getting ready for the day. It's going to be a long one for sure.

——————————————————————-

As I enter the diner I am immediately met with an excruciatingly long line, I guess I'll be waiting a while.

Then from a distance I believe I hear my name being shouted by a familiar voice.

I look up and see lizzie and Cameron waving at me teasingly from the front of the line. I smile and walk over towards them.

Cameron smiles "We already got seats, let's go." He says as he grabs my shoulder, taking me with him.

Lizzie then grabs my opposite shoulder while smiling at me "Took you long enough." She says.

We quickly arrive to our booth, Cameron and Lizzie sit next to each other while I sit opposite to them.

How the turn tables.

Camerons leans closer "Are you excited for tonight?" He asks eagerly.

I try to put on a happy facade but it fails. Why is it that when I try so hard to hide something it ends up terribly for me. I need to work on that.

Lizzie immediately frowns "You okay?" She asks.

I sigh and shake my head "Guys I'm so nervous, I don't know what's wrong with me." I respond quietly.

"Nothings wrong with you, don't say that." Lizzie responds sternly.

Cameron looks at me concerned "Did you take your pills?" He asks.

I furrow my brows "Cameron you know damn well I stopped taking those a while ago." I respond bitterly.

He looks down avoiding eye contact with me. I instantly regret lashing out at him like that, what's wrong with me today.
