Together?

Chapter 27: Confronting Shadows

The bus ride to the airport felt like an eternity, each passing mile bringing her closer to the looming confrontation with her past. Anxiety coiled in her stomach, tightening with every beat of her heart. Sam's face haunted her thoughts, her hurtful words echoing in her mind like a relentless refrain.

Beside her, Alexia's presence offered a sliver of comfort amidst the turmoil. She reached for Alexia's hand, seeking solace in the warmth of her touch. "I'm scared, Lex," Y/N confessed, her voice barely above a whisper.

Alexia squeezed her hand reassuringly, her eyes filled with understanding. "I'm here for you, Y/N. We'll get through this together," she promised, her voice a steady anchor in the storm of Y/N's emotions.

As they boarded the plane, Y/N's nerves only intensified. She couldn't shake the feeling of impending doom, the weight of Sam's presence bearing down on her like a suffocating blanket. Finally, unable to contain her fears any longer, Y/N poured out her heart to Alexia, her words trembling with vulnerability.

"I don't know if I can do this, Lex," Y/N admitted, her voice laced with desperation. "What if she tries to hurt me again?"

Alexia wrapped her arm around Y/N's shoulders, pulling her close in a protective embrace. „She won't lay a finger on you, I promise," she vowed, her tone fierce with determination. "I'll be right by your side, every step of the way."

Arriving at the stadium, Y/N's anxiety reached a fever pitch. The sight of Sam sent a shiver down her spine, her smug grin a chilling reminder of the pain she had inflicted upon her. With each taunt, Y/N felt herself shrinking, the weight of her words crushing her spirit.

Then, as if on cue, disaster struck. A brutal tackle sent Y/N sprawling to the ground, the impact knocking the wind from her lungs. Gasping for air, she felt panic grip her heart, the darkness threatening to consume her.

Alexia's Perspective:

Watching Y/N crumple to the ground was like a dagger to Alexia's heart. Rage surged through her veins as she glared at Sam, her smirk igniting a firestorm of fury within her. Without hesitation, she strode forward, her voice ringing out like a battle cry.

"You stay away from her, you hear me?" Alexia's words were sharp with anger, her gaze never wavering from Sam's face. "If you ever lay a hand on her again, you'll answer to me."

As the medical team tended to Y/N, Alexia felt her heart constrict with fear. She couldn't bear the thought of losing Y/N, not after everything they had been through together. With every fiber of her being, she prayed for Y/N's safety, her silent plea hanging in the air like a desperate prayer.

Back on the field, Alexia's focus never wavered, her determination unwavering in the face of adversity. With each pass, each shot, she poured her heart and soul into the game, fueled by a fierce determination to honor Y/N's courage.

When the final whistle blew, Alexia wasted no time in rushing to Y/N's side. Relief flooded her heart as she watched Y/N stir from her slumber, her eyes brimming with tears of gratitude and overwhelming love.

"I thought I lost you," Alexia whispered, her voice trembling with emotion as she held Y/N close. "I'll always protect you, Y/N. I love you more than anything in this world."

Together, they faced the dawn of a new day, their love stronger than ever before, ready to conquer whatever challenges lay ahead.
