"Find the one you can't live without."

(narrative)


The squeaking of basketball shoes echoed through the hallway of the training facility, it was around 10 o'clock an hour into practice getting ready for tomorrow's home game against Maryland. Kate was playing out of her mind doing things none of the girls have seen her do before.

It was clear that she was still upset about what happened between Nika yesterday, seeing herself taking the stress out on the court.

"Alright ladies! That's it for today, we will see you all tomorrow." Coach Bluder yelled clapping her hands, Kate was the last one to sit down on the chairs sighing loudly while the others exited the room.

Kate thought it was only her inside but heard footsteps moving towards her, she looked up to meet Ellie's eyes standing above her.

"What do you want?" Kate said sipping her water out of her Gatorade bottle, Ellie sat down next to Kate.

"You played well today, surprising." Ellie said smirking making Kate roll her eyes.

"I know what happened with Nika..." Ellie said making Kate look confused at Ellie, how the hell does she know?

"What.." Kate said confused more than ever, Ellie leaned back into her chair.

"I could treat you so much better than her Kate." Ellie said making Kate scoff and roll her eyes, she got up angrily.

"If you'd think I'd ever cheat on Nika, then you are wrong." Kate said coldly walking away from Ellie who leaned back to a sitting position watching Kate reach the end of the court.

"She doesn't love you, no use on loving her back Martin, no use.." Ellie said making Kate stop in her tracks and turn around towards a smirking Ellie.

"Break up with her, Kate it's better for both of your safety.." Ellie said making Kate scared by her comment but tried to shake it off and pushing the door open going into the hallway and walking over to the empty locker room.

Kate sat down untying her shoes and putting them inside her backpack, then grabbing her bag and walking out of the locker room.

"Hey, K!" Kate heard from behind her, she turned around to see Nika with a smiling face coming towards her.

"Hey.." Kate said softly holding the straps of her bag while looking at Nika.

"Are you gonna go back to the dorm?" Nika asked smiling, Kate kept frowning still upset still; the two never really talked it out.
