Love's Goal: Beth and Vivianne's Story

Chapter 20: you got this Viv

Days had passed since the tumultuous night of Vivianne's breakup with Lisa, and the weight of the breakup still hung heavily on her shoulders. The practice field, once a place of solace and achievement, had become a challenging battleground for her.

Vivianne's movements were sluggish, her energy drained, and her performance on the field had become a shadow of her usual self. The fire and enthusiasm that had always characterized her play were now replaced by a sense of lethargy and indifference.

Beth noticed the change in Vivianne immediately. She had been a close observer of her friend's training sessions, and the transformation was impossible to ignore. Vivianne's lackluster play was a stark contrast to the passionate athlete she had always been.

Beth was determined to be a source of support and motivation for Vivianne during this difficult time. She approached her teammate, offering words of encouragement and a reassuring presence.

"Come on, Viv, you've got this," Beth cheered as she tried to motivate Vivianne during a drill. "You're one of the best players out there. Don't let this break-up bring you down."

Vivianne's response was a small, appreciative smile, but the pain in her eyes remained evident. She continued to train, but the spark that had fueled her play was still dimmed.

Beth knew that her friend was struggling, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration on Vivianne's behalf. She had seen the potential, the talent, and the passion that had always defined her play, and it pained her to see Vivianne's current state.

Throughout the practice, Beth remained a constant presence by Vivianne's side, offering encouragement, guidance, and a friendly smile. She was determined to be a source of support during this challenging time, and she hoped that, with time, Vivianne would find her way back to the field with renewed determination.

The weight of the break-up was undeniable, but the strength of their friendship remained a beacon of hope in the face of adversity. As they navigated the days ahead, Beth's support and Vivianne's resilience would be the guiding forces on their shared journey.

As the practice session came to an end, Vivianne changed out of her training attire and into her street clothes, but the weight of her recent breakup still lingered heavily. She couldn't shake off the sense of melancholy that had settled over her.

However, Beth was determined to lift her friend's spirits. With a playful spirit and a mischievous smile, she jumped onto Vivianne's back, wrapping her arms around her in an impromptu piggyback ride.

Vivianne, taken by surprise, couldn't help but chuckle at Beth's antics. The laughter was a welcome respite from the somber mood that had been clouding her for days.

Beth leaned in close, her voice low and filled with excitement. "You know what we need? A fun night out! Karaoke, Viv!"

Vivianne's laughter continued, and she couldn't resist the infectious enthusiasm in Beth's voice. The idea of karaoke, with its promise of lighthearted entertainment and camaraderie, was a refreshing change from the weight of her recent struggles.

Beth continued to whisper into Vivianne's ear, her words filled with playfulness and encouragement. "Come on, we'll sing our hearts out, and I promise you'll feel better. What do you say?"

The offer was impossible for Vivianne to resist. The thought of a night of karaoke with her dear friend filled her with a sense of anticipation and excitement. She couldn't help but nod in agreement, her spirits already beginning to lift.

As they headed out, the laughter and camaraderie between them were a testament to the strength of their friendship. In the face of life's challenges, Beth remained a steadfast source of support and a cheerful distraction, reminding Vivianne that there was joy to be found, even in the midst of difficult times.
