"Oh I'm just a girl. Trying to find a place in this world." - Taylor Swift


I woke up sweating and panicked. After waiting hours to fall asleep I did.

Only to be woken up an hour later. The house was quiet as usual. I look in my mirror and throw my hair in a quick pony before changing my outfit. I left the house in a rush, it was colder than I expected it to be. Yet my shorts and hoodie would hopefully keep me a little warm.

All night I kept looking at the picture my brother posted. I couldn't take my eyes off it, no matter how much I tried. My parents have never been to my championship games. They've never watched me win.

I sigh and practice my reverse lay-ups.

After a while I take a break and sit down on the court. Pulling my phone out, I check instagram again. The picture haunts me. It gets stuck inside of me. I scroll through all the pictures. Though I stare at the first one the most. The picture of all of them hugging. I go to turn off my phone but a message pops up.

greyson_evergreen followed you on instagram!

I click on it and follow him back. I took in his profile picture. It's a picture of him, Callum, and Ryan. Greysons in the middle and smiling with all his teeth, like he's having fun.

greyson_evergreen sent you a message

I click on the message.

greyson : n ur awake bcz??

alexandra:) : bcz

alexandra:) : i can be

greyson : gts

I take a picture of my legs with my basketball laying in between them on the court.

alexandra:) : Sent a Photo

He opens the picture but doesn't answer. He did not just leave me on open. Just when I was about to send a text he started typing.

greyson : i thought i told you not to go alone??

greyson : i'm coming.

Is he crazy? At this time? I'm such a hypocrite.

alexandra:) : ur crazy

alexandra:) : dont come

alexandra:) : it's too late for you to get up just to come u idot

alexandra:) : idiot

alexandra:) : fuck you

alexandra:) : i can take care of myself

I smash my keyboard with angry messages. I'm such an idiot. Stupid. Stupid. Now he has to come to take care of me. I'm the problem.

"A little too late for that."
