Dribbling her basketball for the 100th time today, Aaliyah stands on the free-throw line.

She dribbles twice.

Bends down.

And misses.

She's only made one shot the entire time she's been in the gym.

3 hours.

Catching the ball as it bounces off the rim, she throws it at the cage of basketballs, feeling her hot tears begin to fall down her face as several basketballs fall on the ground. She puts her balled up hands near her face and paces as she cries.

She picks up the basketballs as she silently cries, wiping her nose as she feels it begin to run. Once she's finished she makes her way to sit on the bleachers, crying in her hands.

She sniffles and wipes her eyes as she pulls her phone out to look at the texts from her boyfriend once again.

If you change your mind lmk
or if you wanna see me
I love you so much

Aaliyah shuts her phone off and cries harder after looking at the text messages. She does in fact want nothing more than to be surrounded by her boyfriend now. She wants to talk. She wants to wake up to his smiling face in the morning as he wraps her in his warm embrace.

More importantly, she loves him too.

But she fucked all that up.

She's fucked everything up.

Still on the bench crying with her headphones on, she does her best to calm herself down and wipe her teary eyes on her sleeve. She does good for about 5 seconds before she starts crying again.

Full on sobbing now, she puts her head in her lap. She keeps that position for 10 minutes until she's tapped on the shoulder, feeling the presence of someone next to her.

She glances over as she keeps her head down. Even with teary eyes she can see that it's Jimin, whose face is currently sinking as he looks at her.

Sitting up, Aaliyah tries to look at him, but quickly breaks eye contact as her emotions come back, making her cry harder.

"Oh, Liyah." Jimin says, wrapping one arm around her and using the other to wipe her tears with his thumb, doing his best to get them off of her face. He frowns as he realizes her face is tear stained now and her eyes are puffy. She's been crying for a while.

They sit in silence as Aaliyah does her best to calm down again, doing it successfully this time, but still sniffling occasionally and wiping her eyes every so often. She finally looks at him, noticing that he never took his eyes off of her.

"How did you know I'd be here?" Aaliyah asks, her voice a little louder than a whisper.

"You told me that if you lose a game the coach makes you guys have a practice on the following Saturday morning." Jimin replies.

"But we hadn't lost a game until now."

"I also know that you told me they're just as long as a regular practice, an hour and thirty minutes. The early practices are at 8am, it's past 11 now."
