Not Giving Up

[11] Trying To Keep My Head In The Game

Tyler's POV

"Hey man, keep your head in the game!" John shouted as he passed the ball to me. I can't even focus. My head keeps on coming back to Wendy.  What if she'll wait for me? What if she'll get mad? What if--

Call her, idiot! My inner self told me.

"Shoot the ball, god damn it!" coach Jim shouted. I was back to reality. I looked around to see their faces. They looked at me like I did something f*cking awful. The thing about El presidente here is that he is obsessed about winning each game and pressuring us.

I dribbled the ball and tried to shoot it, but I failed. 'So much for the star player Ty.' I told myself. Coach looked angry, my team mates has that look saying 'what the hell?!'. 

"What was that?!" Coach Jim roared. "Get out of the court and come here. Now!!" he stated. I did what coach told me. "Now tell me, what kind of sh*t is going on?! The game will start next week and you're acting like you know nothing about basketball."

"Coach," Blake interrupted but cut by El presidente.

"Shut up Blake. I want to hear it directly from him." 

"I still have to go somewhere." I said.

"So it's a girl." He broke a fake laugh. "You're just going to ditch the practice just to go to her? This girl is affecting you Ty, in a bad way." He said 'this girl' like she's cursed and have to be avoided. "Is she that importa--" 

"Yes she is." I didn't let him finish since I know where this conversation's going. "She's that important to me and just for your f*cking information, she changed me for the better and we're all d*mn tired so don't kill us to death with your obsession of fame." with that I took my gym bag that was sitting on the bench.

I walked out dripping wet with sweat. I didn't have time to shower since I'm already late. I glance at my watch,-- f*ck. It's already 8:30 pm.  I decided to call Wendy. I kept my pace on driving while I search my phone from my bag. Unlucky I can't fin them, maybe I left them at home. I drove as fast as I could.

My car went out with a loud screech when I stopped just in front of her house. I immediately ran up to the front door. Before I could even knock, the door opened. 

"She's inside." It's Zack. I think he's going out. I gave him a nod. Before I could even go further the hallway he grabbed my left shoulder. "Don't make any foolishness in here, or anywhere, I mean, well you get my point, right?"

"Yeah."  I know my limits. Then he gave me a satisfied look then went out closing the door.

I heard laughters in the kitchen area. I walked towards the kitchen and turned right and..... I didn't expected what I saw. It's like my heart literally stopped beating. My chest tighten. 

"Wendy?"
