The Coachs Daughter

His Buried Feelings

Jake's P.O.V.
I had got home an hour after working out and went to my room to shower and change. I stripped out of my sweaty clothes and turned the cold water on. As the water ran down my body, I thought am I really ready to do this? Do I really want to ignite the flame, that is my love for Sydney. I have to talk to someone about this. I get out of the shower and throw on some clothes. My mom was still cooking dinner, so I decided to call Cale. My phone was ringing and he finally answered, " Hey, what's up?", he said. " I need to tell you something," I said. " Okay what is it?" " Don't freak out, but I asked Sydney Cole to homecoming." " You did what!, I thought you and Carsyn were dating?" " No she has been cheating on me with that dickhead Conner Salt." " I'm sorry man, I knew you weren't happy with her even if you said you were." " Your right I was never really happy with her." " But you don't like Sydney and you asked her out of rage?" " No! I love her." I shouted. After I realized what I had said. " Whoa bro, you Jake Phillips can't possibly be in love with the Coach's daughter?" Cale had said with amazement. "Well I am." My mom called me for dinner. I told Cale bye and pocketed my phone. I have had all these feelings suppressed and now that I have gotten them off my chest I feel, much better. I never thought being with Sydney would end well, but now that I'm certain I love her, so much. I can't hide it anymore. What if she doesn't have the same feelings I have for her, that would crush me I would never be able to go to school, practice, or even see my friends and just the thought of her with someone else burns my bones and makes me want to punch something or someone. I walked into the dining room and say at the table and said grace and we ate. I went back to my room and thought about the love of my life, Sydney Cole.
Sydney's P.O.V.
I woke up the next morning and just moped into the shower. When I get out, I put on one of my football shirts and leggings with my Nike's. I got grab my bag and see a car sitting outside of my house, it looks familiar and then it hits me, it's Jake's. I fly down the stairs and walk outside calmly. He is standing on the side of the car. " What the hell are you doing here?" " I thought I would come and pick you up, is there anything wrong with that?" 
"Yes, my dad could see you, your lucky he isn't here" I said. "Why would I be afraid of your dad seeing us together." "Because I'm not supposed to be around you outside of school." "Why?" "Because my dad thinks that it's a fantastic idea to keep us apart until homecoming." "Why in the hell would he do that?" "Because he thinks you'll be unfocused." How could he be he doesn't like me he asked me out, because of the sheer fact that I'm the coach's daughter, I came to that realization last night. "Well that's stupid, the only I could be unfocused is if he kept us apart." "What?" I'm shocked at what he said, but confused because I don't know what he is saying. "Come on we're going for a ride." He shot smile at me. Why does he have to be so damn hot. We drove a while until we pulled onto Calaway Ridge, everyone knows people just come here to make out. "You took me the make out spot of the town, expecting to get lucky." "I don't know am I?" "Stop being an ass and tell me why we are really here." "I have to tell somethings and don't freak out when I tell you, ok?" "Sure, what is it?" "Sydney Cole, I am undeniably, unconditionally in love with you and I never told you this, because well your coach's daughter and I was afraid you wouldn't feel the same way and now I just don't care anymore, I have to know do love, like me, or feel nothing at all?" I stood there like and idiot stunned by what he had just said to me. He loved me? No way in hell would I have guessed this what we came up here to talk about. "Are you gonna say something?,"he asked. "Jake Phillips, I have loved you since the first day I saw you.", I finally said after three years of living in this town and being too scared to say it. He pick up and spun me around and set me against his car. "Can I kiss you now?" "Yes." He pressed his hands to my cheeks and kissed me like I was the most beautiful girl in the world, which by far I was not. But in that moment, I didn't care. "I love you, Sydney and don't even think about forgetting it." " I won't." He moved his hands from my sides and we got into the car and went to school.
