What We Once Were

Part 6

Unedited sorry for my mistakes.

Tobin. Tobin. Tobin. Tobin is captain?
Tobin is MY captain?
I stood there completely frozen in place as the team congratulated Tobin. No words could describe the feeling I had right now. I was supposed to be the captain. I have proved myself time and time again that I am worthy of that title. Christie was Abby's captain, Abby was my captain, it was almost like a legacy. Now I'm just the disappointment.

"Alex are you okay?" Ali asked me cautiously. "Al it's not your fault, you have done everything right."

"If I did everything right I would be wearing that band right now." I said walking away from everyone else. I just wanted to be alone.
Tobin took the thing I've been working for my entire high school career. It's only fair right? She took the thing you wanted most and you completely broke her heart.

I took my time in the shower, I'm not ready to face the pity. I heard people come and go but paid no attention to them.

"Alex you need to get out of the shower." Kelley said.
"What did I do wrong Kell?"
"Nothing, Alex you did nothing wrong at all. Tobin was just better maybe? More focused? I don't know but it wasn't our choice Al. Now get out of the fucking shower and stop feeling sorry for yourself. I get it you're heartbroken, but now it's time to focus and prove the coaches wrong. Prove to them that you deserved to be the captain." Kelley said handing me my towel and leaving me along again.
I wrapped the town around my waist and went to grab my clothes from my bag.
"Good you're still here." Tobin said. "I was looking for you in the parking lot, but Kelley said you were still in the shower. Um I know I said I couldn't be friends with you. But um I wanted to thank you for uh giving me motivation I guess. I wouldn't be captain if it wasn't for you, so thanks. I'm sorry by the way for ruining the legacy. The team filled me in when you stormed off, I know how hard you worked for this and I know it's not really fair to you. I'm going to go now so I'll see you on the field." Tobin was walking to the exit when she stopped for a moment.
"Me and the girl are nothing by the way. She's new here I was just showing her around the school when you saw us." She finally left and I got changed. I was in the middle of the throwing my bags in the car when I seen Servando.
"There's my girl!" He said wrapping me up in a hug. "I missed you today Al. But you won't believe what happened today!
"What Serv?" I asked not showing my enthusiasm at all.
"Coach named me captain! Can you believe that?" He was so happy it was too much for me right now.
"That's great Serv, that's really great." I said giving him a quick hug.
"Come on let's go celebrate!" He said tugging me to his car.
"I don't know Servando I have a lot of homework to do tonight. Tomorrow maybe?"
His face fell a bit but he immediately put a smile back on his face. "Did I do something wrong Alex? We haven't properly spent time together in a while. When we do we just watch movies and talk about soccer."

Great now Servando's catching on. "I just don't want to do anything anymore. It's my senior year all I want to do is nothing."

"You're treating more like your best friend than your boyfriend! When is the last time we had a proper date? Or the last time we properly kissed not just a stupid peck! What happened Al?" He said practically yelling now.

"Jesus Servando can you lower your voice. I don't want to do this right now!" I said getting in my car.

"Are you going to go cry to Tobin now? Or better yet are you going to go screw her again!"
The look on my face must have told him he was right because he had a smug look on his face.
"That's right I know all about you two. You know when we first met you never said you were dating. I had to find out through the boys on the team! Was that not important enough to tell me?"

I didn't hear the rest of it so I just drove off. This year wasn't supposed to be like this. I was supposed to the captain, I was supposed to have the boyfriend of my dream, I was supposed to be happy. Tobin made you happy.

Servando and I never broke up, but we also never made up. We had our season opener tonight against ECHS and I told Serv not to come. I don't know if it was the right thing to do because I always played well when he was there, but I don't want him around Tobin.
