Summer

Chapter 2

What I didn't expect happened, he came up to me and hugged me. I didn't struggle, he wrapped me all over with his strong hands, I trembled slightly to his touch, I heard that you belong to the person you tremble at, but I'm sure that's not the case, I love Nick, it's hard for me and that's why I like the hug, it's nothing serious and friends embrace... I don't know if I'm thinking that or lying to myself.

After a few seconds, we separated and stared at each other. I got nervous and the silence that surrounded us disappeared at the moment when a deep male voice caught up with her.

"What's your second wish?"

He looked at me curiously, wiping away the tears running down my face.

"What I missed today...

You could tell by him that he wanted to sound comforting and he sounded as good as he could and I was glad to see that he was trying.

"A contest?"

Basketball is something that distracts me from all the bad, I surrender to the game, the team is my family, the coach is the other parent, the ball is the means by which I go to the end.

"Yes""

I said I was somewhat disappointed that maybe it was bad because he would be worried now.

"Wait a second."

He got up and pulled the IV out of my hand, it burned and it hurt. After that, he took the blanket off of me and took it in his arms. He carried me to the hospital exit.

"What are you doing, idiot?"

I shouted loudly, at the same time I was hitting and snatching him, and at one point he looked at me angrily and threw me over his back. I'm powerless and I seem to have to trust him. He stops the cab and first puts me in, and then he sits next to me. All you can hear is the sound of a car, looking at Stefan with anger in his eyes, while he looks at the distance thoughtfully.

"You still haven't told me where we're going? "

"We're going to grant you a second wish."

What? I expected this even less, from the arrogance that was present when we met to the caring boyfriend who's just granting my wishes. I don't know why, but I feel weird, different...

"How are you supposed to fill it?"

I asked him with a touch of disbelief and mockery in my voice.

"You'll see when we get there."

Time passes, we finally get to the Hall. We're getting out of the car, but I still can't get on my foot. Steve took me in his arms and took me back to the building. We're approaching some people, dressed in sports suits.

"Can you get a chair for her?"

What's he doing now? I don't understand anything, but the gentleman to whom he addressed did what he told him with an affirmative nod. No one has started the game yet, speakers have sounded, speeches of Thanks like at every start of the competition. I used to be obsessed with basketball, so I came to all of our club's games.

A chair is brought, Stefan leaves me on it and goes to a crowd of people talking to each other.

•Stefan•

"Excuse me, young man, who are you?"

An unknown male voice addressed me, and before I said anything I turned to a man with gray hair, slightly wrinkled skin and brown eyes who looked at me somewhat angrily.

"The winning team from last year."

He looked very suspicious. He looked at me from head to toe and moved to one leg and crossed his arms on his chest.
