Unwritten Teenage Dream

Chapter 14

Gabby's POV
"It was perfect"I say dramatically leaning against the lockers,Lucy laughs

"Hey"Brent and Jackson come up.Lucy slams her locker shut.

"Jackson?I see you met Brent.Gabby's boyfriend"Lucy announces,Jackson nods.

Brent wraps an arm around me giving me a quick kiss. I smile at Brent and look around noticing Jackson looking at me.

"You must be Gabby?" I nod putting my hand out.

"And you must be the new pitcher, Jackson." He nods, shaking my hand. "I heard your first game is today."

"Yea, kinda nervous. But you guys should come." I nod looking over at Lucy. She nods back.

"Aw man I'd totally come but, I have a football game at the same time." I look at him and raise an eyebrow.

"Brent, you had a game yesterday?" He shrugs

"Wasn't a fair game." For some reason I didn't believe him but I let it go.

"Ok well, Gabby and I will see you at the game, Jackson." Lucy states as Jackson smiles. The bell rings, I hugged Brent and rushed to class. But all I can think of is what is Brent really doing?
~~~~~~~~~~
The crowd was standing on the bleachers, completely pumped. After all, it was the last inning, we were winning 5-3 but we could lose because bases were loaded. The other team was batting and Jackson was pitching. There was already two out and Jackson just had to pitch 3 strikes for the game to be over.

"Oh jeez I'm so nervous," I say as Lucy hushes me

Jackson threw the pitch.
Ball
The crowd groaned and sighed. You could tell how much he was sweating.

"Cmon, Jackson!" I cheer. This time the whole bleacher hushed me I just rolled my eyes. I'm just supporting my friend here.

He threw his second pitch.
Strike
The crowd cheered. And by the time he pitched 5 times there was 2 strikes and 3 balls. He has to pitch another strike or the other team could tie us or even worse, win.

Jackson walked around the pitching mound and finally got into the centre. He pulled his glove over his face and concentrated. He finally pitched the ball.
STRRRIKKE.

The crowd roared and cheered. Team mates doggy piled ontop of Jackson. I laugh and hug Lucy. Oh what a game.

~~~~
"I'm exhausted." Lucy falls onto her bed. I just stare at the ground. "Earth to Gabby? You in there?" She waves her hand infront of my face and I snap of out it.
"Aw sorry Lu." She sighs

"You still worried about Brent?" I nod. "You shouldn't be, he's completely in love with you. He would never hurt you."

"Yea, I guess you're right."

"Girl when am I ever wrong?" We both laugh. "But if you're so nervous then call him." I look up.

"You think I should?" She nods and I quickly whip out my phone and dial his number. After a few rings he picks up.

"Hey babe, what's up?"

"How was your football game?" There was a dead silence. I could hear distant talking, I could hear Brennan saying "just tell her, but make sure Lucy's not there."

"Uh Gabby, I need to tell you something is Lucy there?"

"Yes? Why?"
