Not A Football Player, But MY Football Player

Saved and Scarred

"I'm sure he'll be fine Selene." Ally whispered. Everyone was outside the hospital. Being tripped doesn't seem so bad right? Well, turns out when Nathan got tripped, he also slipped in a hole in the ground, causing both legs to be injured. Selene's mascara was everywhere. On her arm, on her cheeks, her shirt, my shirt, Ally's jacket and Ella's blanket.

"What if he isn't?" She cried. Then her tears came back. I went up to her.

"Don't worry Selene, we'll all go through this together," I whispered. She smiled weakly. The doctor went out of Nathan's room.

"Is he okay?" Selene asked with hope in her eyes.

"Yes ma'am. He is awake too. Nathan won't be able to play for at least 3 games. Both his legs were injured in different ways. His left leg was twisted-" Ouch, that has gotta hurt. "-and his right leg is just broken." The doctor spoke. We all sighed in relief.

"May we go see him?" I questioned. He nodded and said only one person at a time, but we don't see him separately. When Selene opened the door, I saw Nathan staring at the ceiling, whispering things to himself. Let's just hope he's saved.

Nathan's POV

"Nath?" I turned my head, seeing my sister at the door. I smiled sweetly.

"Hey little sis," I croaked. The tears in her eyes were visible. She went up to me and kissed my face.

"You got me so worried. I thought you were going to perish right in front of my eyes. Like-"

"Don't." She sighed.

"You're still scarred by that memory, aren't you?" Selene asked. I nodded. "Promise me "brother", if you ever feel like talking about her, I'm hear for you." We heard the doctor say next and Ally entered the room.
*****
Selene, Ally and Ella kept asking me if I was alright. My answer was yes.

"Are you sure?"

"Ye-" The door creeped opened. The ginger girl, let's call her Ginger, cautiously walked in. So they replaced the nerd with Ginger? That's harsh but ain't my problem.

"Hey," she began, twisting her hair. "Sorry what happened at the cafeteria. I sorta lost it." She offered an apologetic smile.

Michelle's POV

"It's fine. Tend to get yelled at from girls when I started "cheating" on her. I don't date." Nathan replied.

"Morning mom, Katrina! Hey Kat, I'll walk to school! Byee!" I yelled from the staircase. I was about to head out the door.

"Aren't you going to eat breakfast first?" My mother asked while washing the dishes. My mom's profile is innocent, kind, loving, can go berserk at times and the great kind of mother. Katrina's profile is nice, rude at times, beginning college and the best sister you could ever ask for.

"No thanks mom, I'll just grab a banana and go," I shouted. I grabbed a banana and ran out the door. "Yummy banana." I peeled my banana and took a bite. I looked through my phone, checking any messages and missed calls. I got a call from my dad. Today was Wednesday so why not call him?

"Hello?" My dad's voice spoke through the phone.

"Hi daddy, sorry I haven't been able to call you. Busy with school."

"It's okay, pumpkin. How's school?"

"Great, I met 3 people."

"Okay, tell your mother I'll be back from Canada in two more days."

"Okay daddy, love you, bye!" I ended the call. The school wasn't really far so I finally reached my destination.

"Hey, Michelle is it?" A random girl asked. I nodded. "Someone wants to meet you at the bleachers." I headed to the bleachers. I walked down to the field, looking at the bleachers.

"Hey Michelle!" Nathan yelled. The bleachers can wait. I waved at him then I walked towards him. He sat in a wheelchair.

"You feeling any better?" I asked.

"To be honest, yeah. I was wondering, there's a game tonight and I wanted to know if you wanted to hang out after." My cheeks heated up.

"Sure, I guess."

"Okay, see you later!" He wheeled inside the school. I walked to the bleachers and found a note and lilacs in a bouquet. I read the note.

Dear Michelle,
I've realized something ever since you moved here. I knew you were the girl for me. And Selene told me about your hair. I bet you're thinking, "What the hell is going on here?", but that can be explained later. Let's play a game. If you find out who I am before the school year ends, I hope you won't be surprised. It may sound ridiculous, but it's on. Have fun playing this game with me, Cupcake. - Secret Admirer.

I took the lilacs and examined them. Hmm.

"Seriously?" Ella asked. I nodded, showing her the note.

"Yeah!" Ella handed Selene the note so she could read it

"Hey, this writing looks familiar..." She trailed off.
