Soccer Game

A LITTLE MORE THAN ONE WEEK LATER

Gwen's POV:

It's been a week and things are going great. First off, lemme just say that Y/N is AMAZING. Him and I have gotten closer and we've texted each other every day and night ever since he gave me his snap. We haven't FaceTimed yet, we probably should soon.
I've met some of his friends and they're actually really cool. Ned's funny and Caleb and Kris are really nice. I've gotten closer with my friends too, we're actually gonna grab a bite after the soccer game.
Today is Friday and it's cloudy, but still pretty warm out. We're all attending Y/N's soccer game which is also the first home game for Saco High. The girls were here to cheer for their boyfriends while I was gonna cheer for you know who.
I bought a couple hot dogs from the food shack and I made my way back to the girls.
"Ugh! When will this game start?" Brittany said dramatically.
"Not sure, waiting made me hungry" I said, taking a bite of one of my hotdogs, getting ketchup on my face.
"How can you like those?" Chasey asked with a grossed out face.
"They're good, I don't know" I said, taking another bite.
"HEY HEY LOOK! The game's starting" Jaelyn said, grabbing our attention.
We looked at the field to see that Saco's offense, which Y/N is a part of, was pursuing the opposite team's goal. Chasey's boyfriend passed the ball to Y/N and that's when Y/N switched up. He looked so focused, it was kinda hot.
Wait what? Slow down, Gwen.
He was dribbling the ball so well and was juking out the defense. The crowd from Saco was cheering, including me. I was so happy and excited for him.
"C'MON Y/N!" I yelled. My spider senses went off, telling me that the girls were giving me a certain stare, I don't know what.
Y/N got closer and he kicked the ball, sending it past the goalie and into the net. He got a goal, literally less than twenty seconds.
Everyone stood up and yelled, celebrating the goal. His teammates stood up and yelled in excitement.
"YES Y/N, WOOOOO!"
I sat back down with a huge smile on my face.
"Wait, are you talking to Y/N?" Brittany asked.
I turned and looked at her, the girls looked at me concerned.
"Yeah I am. I really like him a lot. He's amazing"
I said smiling but then it diminished after looking at the girls for a little longer.
"Do you know?" Jaelyn asked.
I raised an eyebrow.
"Know what?"
They looked at each other alarmed.
"You don't know" Chasey said in realization.
"What? What's wrong?"
Brittany sat up straight, ready to tell me whatever she has to say.
"Okay so-"
Then she took a deep breath.
"Long story short, the summer before freshman year, he was molested by his best friend"
Wait? WHAT!?
My face immediately goes to worrisome. He was molested? Who could do that to him? He's so sweet and funny.
"Are you fucking kidding me?" I anxiously asked and they shook their heads no.
To be honest, I kinda wanted to cry.
I felt like I was about to hyperventilate. The girls scooted closer and comforted me.
"Who did it?"
"Amanda Rose, she's homeschooled now" Brittany said.
"The whole thing was terrible" Jaelyn said.
I didn't know how to react anymore. I looked back at the field to find him. Why would this Amanda girl do that to him?
"Why did she do that?"
"She was just fucked up. He didn't realize it until he was found wasted and unconscious on a bed with her riding his dick" Chasey said.
"Did she get him drunk?"
"Yeah, she did. But everyone was. She did something to his alcohol" Jaelyn said.
"What do you mean everyone?"
"It was at a party and all the high schoolers were there. She dragged him to a room and my boyfriend found them. Everyone fucking hated her after that" Chasey explained.
Yeah, as everyone should. It makes me angry that she'd do that to her best friend and think that she'd get away with it. If I was still Spider-Woman, she'd be someone I wouldn't hold back on.
"I don't wanna talk about this anymore"
I sat straight and looked at the field. Maybe the game would keep my mind off of what I heard. But every time I saw Y/N, I kept getting reminded of it. I couldn't stop thinking about it. I don't wanna talk to him about it, I will if he brings it up.
One of the girls started rubbing my back to comfort me which was helping slightly.
Two hours later, the game finally ended with Saco taking the lead. The score was nine to zero with Y/N getting one third of the goals. All his teammates high fived and hugged him for the great work he did on the field. He was laughing and smiling with joy. He doesn't look like a person who was molested, he must've healed.
I was gonna go up to him, but he was following his teammates, mainly the girls' boyfriends.
"Wyatt texted me, he said that they're all going out?" Brittany said, reading her phone.
"The whole team?" I asked and she nodded.
Then she looked up and started to rant.
"Like- ugh. I came here to watch you play your game and you're not going to hang out with me?"
"Girl, you two fucked last night, you can last a few hours without him" Jaelyn said and her and Chasey laughed while I lightly chuckled.
"No I can't!" Brittany whined.
We eventually got up and left to go get food. We went to this restaurant that I haven't been to yet, it's called Pizza by Michael. We sat down and started talking
Well, they were talking, I was being quiet, still thinking about what I learned. I think I was a little too quiet because one of them spoke up.
"You okay, Gwen?" Jaelyn asked and they were all looking at me.
I scoffed.
"I just still can't believe that someone would do something like that to him"
They were all quiet.
"Good luck trying to be his girlfriend, he hasn't had one since" Chasey said.
"I also need to be honest, I don't see him wanting to be with you" Brittany said truthfully.
"It's nothing about you, I'm sure you're great" she clarified.
"It's just that- ever since that happened, he's been traumatized, refused to talk to any girl. But if you want to give it a try, you need to go really easy on him" she explained more and I nodded.
"I will" I said.
"Gwen, I'm serious"
"I am too"
We got our pizza and we dug in, we got a basic pepperoni pizza. I took a slice and bit down on the pizza, having it burn my mouth.
"Ah it's hot" I said, quickly taking the slice out of my mouth.
The girls laughed.
I felt my phone buzz in my pocket, so I put down my slice of pizza and wiped my greasy fingers with a low quality napkin. I pulled out my phone to see what it was.
It was a text from Y/N.
Y/N: Heyy
Y/N: Sorry I didn't come see you at the end of the game
Y/N: My team was kinda leaving so I had to follow them
I was happy he texted me. I need to stop thinking about what I was told about him, maybe he'll tell me something funny.
My heart did stop a little once I saw that the message was from him and I let out a big exhale out of my nose.
Gwen: Heyy
Gwen: It's okay lol
Gwen: You did so good in your game
Y/N: Aw thank you:)
Y/N: Thank you for coming to my game as well, means a lot
Gwen: Ofc
Gwen: I'll be at your next one too
Y/N: Really?
Gwen: Really really
I was smiling through our texts, he's adorable.
Y/N: In case I haven't told you, I know we've only known each other of a little over a week now, but I'd consider as one of my best friends
Y/N: I'm really glad you're here
Best friends. Ouch.
My heart skipped a beat for a second and my smile kinda faded. Best friend. That's how I knew that Y/N doesn't want anyone. To be honest, that kinda broke my heart. It's not his fault by any means, it's Amanda's fault for making him like this. He makes me happy and I want to be with him. But now I can't.
"Gwen what's wrong?" Jaelyn asks.
I turned my phone around and showed the girls our messages. The looked bummed out too.
"I'm sorry, Gwen. I don't know what to tell you." Brittany said and I shrugged my shoulders, not saying anything.
That's actually how the rest of our time went, me not saying anything except a little "see ya" when they dropped me off at home.
I didn't see dad's car in the driveway, he's working. Home alone.
I unlocked the door and shut it, going to my room right after.
I pulled out my phone and went back to the messages. My eyes kept reading this one part.
Best friends. It just kept ringing in my head. I don't wanna be best friends, I wanna be more than that.
I kept on reading the chat and it made tears well up in my eyes. I looked up and let out an emotional sigh, trying not to cry.
"What the fuck, man." I said to myself.
I guess I was crying because I was sniffling quite a bit and I did shed a tear. I can't be like this.
I sat up against the wall on my bed and I opened up YouTube. I watched whatever was on the screen, even if it something I don't watch, I just needed to get my head off of Y/N.
I was watching some SNL skit and I was laughing a little, getting cheered up.
All of a sudden, my video stops and I get an incoming FaceTime icon popping up. It's Y/N.
I didn't really know how to feel, whether to be sad again or happy since he wants to talk to me.
I let out a little exhale and I pressed answer.
Then his cute face appeared, I love his little smile.
"Hey!" He said.
"Hey."
"Whatcha up to?"
"Ohh not much, just watching some YouTube."
He nodded.
"Hell yeah nice. Where'd you go with the girls?"
"Pizza by Michael."
"Ehh, not as good as SHOP."
We both laughed.
"You did really good today."
"Thank you. There was a kid that wanted to fight me on the field."
My eyes widened.
"Really?" I said laughing.
"Yeah. I did something to make him mad and one time, he came up to me and said "don't do that again, f*ggot!" And I was like the fuck did I do? It was so weird."
He explained and I was laughing.
"That's so stupid." I said still laughing.
"It was really funny." He said and then he made his cute smile again which defeated me. It made me think of what I learned today. When I see his face, he doesn't look like something happened to him, he looks happy.
My smile was diminishing and he noticed.
"Hey, I hope this isn't rude, but your eyes look a little puffy. Did you cry or-."  He asked, looking out for me.
"Oh no no, I wasn't. I took a little nap earlier, before I watched some YouTube." I said and he nodded. Then it got quiet.
"Hey Y/N."
"That's my name."
"Uhmm."
It got quiet again.
"Just letting you know that, I'm always here for you if you ever need anything. If you ever want to talk about something, you can talk to me. I'll always listen to you."
He didn't really know what to say.
"Okay."
Then it was quiet yet again.
"Wh-why are you saying this? Is something wrong?"
I shook my head.
"No. I'm just looking out for you, like anyone else would. That's all."
He nodded.
"I'm here for you too. Always. You know where to find me."
I smiled.
"Thank you."
"Of course."
We kept talking for a little bit longer until his mom called him to do something. We hung up and I was left for myself. Again.
I really want to be with Y/N so badly.

Someday. Maybe.
