II - Crash

Y/n's View; Present Day

I walk by Sandy's office and hear a whistle. I walk back and Sandy gestures for me to come in.

"How you feeling after practice today?" Sandy asks.

"Good." I say.

"Not too tired? No chest pain?" Sandy says.

"Only adrenaline." I say.

"Okay, good." Sandy says.

"Feels like I never left." I say.

"Well, you better rest while you can because I'm not taking you off the court tomorrow unless I have to." Sandy says.

I laugh and she smile. I smile and walk out of her office.

Time Skip; Billie's View

Finneas and I are in New York for a bunch of interviews and he wanted to make time to go and see a basketball game.

"You see her?" Finneas whispers as he gestures toward player 22.

"Mhm." I say.

"That's Y/n. She hasn't played in a year because she had a heart attack." Finneas whispers.

"Really?" I ask.

"Yeah, got a heart transplant and everything." Finneas whispers.

I nod and Y/n turns around. We briefly make eye contact and she walks off the court.

"You think she's ready to play?" I ask looking at Finneas.

"Yeah." Finneas says.

Time Skip; Y/n's View

"Psst." Sandy says.

I turn around and walk towards her.

"You okay?" Sandy asks.

"Yes." I say.

"Let me know if you need a break." Sandy says.

I nod and she gives me a pat on the back. I walk back onto the court and Kayla shoots her last free throw.

I jog to the other side of the court and see Sabrina steal the ball. She runs towards me and launches the ball to me. I jump up to catch it and the momentum knocks me backwards.

I fall onto someone and the ref blows a whistle. I groan and JJ comes to help me up. I turn around and I widen my eyes.

I just crashed into Billie Eilish.

"I-I'm so sorry." I say.

"You're okay." Billie says.

"Are you okay? Are you good?" I ask.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Billie says laughing.

I nod and JJ shakes her head.

"You see a pretty girl and start st-st-stuttering." JJ says as we walk back to the other side of the court.

I roll my eyes and she laughs.

30 minutes later...

"You did great today. Happy to have you back, kid." Olaf says.

I smile and he gives me a pat on the back.

I look across the court and see Billie stand up.

I really need to apologize.

"Hey." I say jogging to the other side of the court.

"Hey." Billie says.

"I'll wait outside." Finneas says walking away.

"I wanted to apologize." I say.

"You're good." Billie says, laughing.

"I just didn't want you to think I tried to flatten you on purpose." I say.

Billie laughs and I smile.

"Y/n." I say holding my hand out.

"Billie." She says as she shakes my hand.

"What, uh, brings you to New York?" I ask.

"Got a few interviews." Billie says.

"Everybody's just dying to talk to you, huh?" I ask.

"Oh yeah." She says chuckling.

"Guess I'll just have to wait my turn." I say.

"For what?" She asks smiling.

"Just to get a minute of your time. Maybe take you out, get to know you." I say.

"I could... arrange that. Give me your number." She says, handing her phone to me.

I smile and put my number in.

"Excuse me." Someone says.

I turn my head and see Sabrina walking over.

"Sorry to interrupt whatever... this... is. Uh, they want you for the post-game." Sabrina says.

"I'm busy." I say.

"You wanna get fined again?" Sabrina asks.

"It's fine, I'll text you." Billie says as I hand her phone back.

I nod and Billie smiles before walking away.

"What was that?" Sabrina asks as we walk off the court.

"I just wanted to apologize for crashing into her... and also ask if I could take her out." I say as we walk to the locker room.

"Ooh, when'd you get so bold?" Sabrina asks nudging me.

"Maybe it's the heart. I got a second chance at life so I might as well take it." I say.

"I think it gave you some kind of superpowers." Sabrina says.

I chuckle and she smiles.
