Rough on the Pitch||Katie McCabe

🤍CHAPTER 12🤍

It was Katie..."Hey..." she says awkwardly. "Erm, Hi?" I wonder why she was in my room. I slowly start to take Katie's presence by looking up and down. Katie was in Just a sports bra, And her abs were definitely staring at me. I think she noticed. "Eh, Someone's at the door for you." She says while trying to hide her smirk. " Alright, I'll be right down." There was no doubt in my mind that Katie was Attractive; I mean if I could Undress her right now. NO! Rylie this is so wrong, We're not doing that here. She probably does not even view me in this way.

As I reopened the door, I looked shocked to see the person I dread the most. Taylor. I almost in an instant slammed the door, but she unfortunately caught it. " Look Rylie; I am sorry for what I did to you. i Truthfully am. Maybe we could give us another try?" She said, with sorrow. I almost look confused. Did she really think I would believe that still? I mean hell, why does she think I am in London? For fun? I am here to get away from her. She has killed the best part of me, making me fear what will happen next. "I- I'm sorry Taylor, But I'm not looking for a relationship anymore." I prayed that she would let it go. "Oh, okay then." and she walked away. Leaving every bone in my body misplaced out of fear. She was probably trying to change, But I will not ever be scared of her.

Just the thought of her, The Nights that felt like there was no end to them or the nights when I could not get back on my two feet. All the footballers were physically strong. But mentally, I am the weakest one I know.

After that Little interaction, I felt like I could never escape her. Like, she was my death. After standing by the door for 10 min, I eventually returned to my room. All I wanted to do was cry, Into the "Old" Taylor's chest. The "new" Taylor Loomed so large over my life, that I felt as if I had to turn my back everywhere I went. If Taylor taught me anything, It was to Be Afraid.

After lying and lying there. I decided to prepare for bed. As I walked to the bathroom, I hit my knee on the bedside. Unfortunately, it made the noise loud enough for the person in the next room to hear. Thankfully, no one came to check this. I take my make remover wipes and wipe off all my makeup. Mainly foundation. After it's all gone, I look up to the mirror. My face had a blackish-purple eye. I slowly backed up into the wall and fell slowly into the floor crying. Burying myself into my knees. curling into a small ball. What has my life come to?"

My bedroom door opens, And Katie walks in. She looks over me and sees me on the floor. She instantly rushed over and Closing my bedroom door. She hesitates but pulls me into a hug. "I got you," Katie says. The feeling rushed into the stomach. A feeling I can't explain. "What's wrong?" she says. I cannot even think of the words to say. Silence filled the bathroom. I feel like I cannot move. My face is still buried in my knees. I knew if I looked at her, and she wondered. She'd have questions. Unfortunately, I do not have answers. I feel that my body is lifted, causing me to be released from the position. Katie saw my face. I know that she did, but she did not say anything. Just a small gasp.

She places me on my bed. "Hey, We can talk about it right now, Or tomorrow. But you need rest." I still couldn't talk. I don't know what happened. One minute, I, was fine, and the next I was on the floor. Then it hit me. A Breakdown. However, it feels like Katie stops it from occurring. "Get some rest, We will talk in the morning. Okay?" I just shook my head in agreement. just as Katie was walking to the door. I don't know what came over me; maybe it was the fear of being alone, or because I was scared Taylor would get me, but I spoke up anyway. "Katie, Can you stay?" I said it was kinda of quiet. "Erm...Eh- yeah, Of course." She said hesitantly. However, when she said, she looked adorable. She slowly got into bed and I turned on my bedside table. Turning off only the light in the room. I feel eyes burning on the side of my face. So I turned over to face Katie. some of Katie's face caught the night sky, Pointing out her Nice toned eyes. Katie breaks the silence. "What happened to your face, Rylie." She asked gently. " My ex." After that, the room filled with silence.
