Gracie's POV

It was the first game of the season and I was super nervous. I told Taylor I was on the team last night at dinner with Rudy. She was super happy for me. But now that it's the first game she's been super protective. I Was in the locker room staring at my jersey sitting down on the bench. My jersey number was 21. I got to pick the number since I was the first one getting chosen, and It was my lucky number. I didn't even look at my phone, Taylor was calling me but I was in my own little world hyping myself up for the game in a few hours. I heard footsteps and I saw Taylor's shoes at the corner of my eye. She sat down next to me, and nudged my shoulder.

Taylor-"babe, you're gonna do great out there."

Gracie-"how do you know?"

I mumbled, she put her hand on my shoulder.

Taylor-"Because, You're the best on the team. Even if you lose I'll still Love you the same."

Gracie-"I love you babe, but You're awful at pep talks."

I giggled a little bit, and hugged her around her neck.

Gracie-"You'll watch the game right?"

Taylor-"skipping my math test for it. Of course I'm watching it."

Gracie-"babe, no go take your math test. Rudy's watching it, he can record it."

She leaned in and kissed me. Her cold hand on my cheek, I put my hand over hers. My jersey fell but I could care less right now. I put my other hand on her waist.

Taylor-"mhm, not here babe, maybe after you win."

Gracie-"Come on, no one's watching us."

Taylor-"Except for the cameras in here."

I pulled away and put my head on her chest. She played with my hair god. I loved this girl. I want to marry her so bad. My eyes widen at the thought. I'm only a senior and I can't marry anyone yet. I didn't know I loved her that much.

Taylor-"hey, what's up Gray?"

She asked, once she noticed my eyes

Gracie-"I have to go, I'll see you in the stands!"

I said I rushed out with my jersey. Leaving Taylor confused as hell. I got ready for the game and washed my face clearing my thoughts. The game was starting in 10 minutes. Taylor texted me but I didn't wanna look, I needed zero distractions. I was getting my cleats on walking out onto the field (or pitch). I ran to my team's huddle and we created a plan.

In the 2nd half we were losing by 1. It was 3-2. I Had the ball, I was sprinting and when I was close to the box I kicked it with both my feet up in the air and then did a high kick to score it. When I scored everyone came up behind me Morgan on my shoulders and I was smiling so big. It was tied, I saw Taylor stand up and she was clapping and grabbing onto Rudy's shoulders. Morgan had The ball and she pointed to the box so I ran to get open, once I was near the box she passed it to me, as I was gonna score, someone from the other team came running into me I tripped over their feet and fell over.

Gracie-"fuck. That hurt"

I said as I got up. But as I ran I felt lightheaded, But it went away. As Morgan scored the final goal we all picked her up by her legs and ran around the field.

Morgan-"oKAY, OKAY, I LOVE YOU ALL BUT PUT ME DOWN!"

We all laughed and put her on the ground. As I walked over to the bench, I chugged my water down and then went to the lockers to get my bag and go home. But Taylor came up to me.

Taylor-"I love you so much, You did amazing out there babe."

Instead of responding I just grabbed her face with my hands and kissed her.

Gracie-"God I love you."

I said as I pulled away and linked my arm with hers. We walked out of the school, since our school won we all got released early. I was happy about that because I was tired as fuck. We got home and I showered then got in bed with a heavy sigh, I turned to look at Taylor and she put her hand on my cheek, I leaned into her touch.

Taylor-"how's your leg? You had a nasty fall."

Gracie-"not gonna lie, hurts but it's not that bad."

Taylor-"want me to get ice?"

I nodded and she kissed my forehead and got up to go to the kitchen and came back with peas.

Taylor-"so, I couldn't find your ziplocks to put ice in, so I just grabbed frozen peas."

I laughed and grabbed them from her and put them on my ankle. She got back in bed, she pulled me close to her by my waist and played with my hair, I Didn't mean to, but I fell asleep in her arms that night.
