Why We Fell in Love

Chapter Twenty-One ;)

Noah's POV

Last game of the season Evans. Game starts in five minutes. Then straight home to get ready for prom. I still roll my eyes at the idea of me taking Brooke. This divorce is going to take at least a month but our consultant said we should at least try to be a couple.

I can hear the crowd roar from inside the locker room. Basketball expertise are here to judge all of us and hopefully give us a scholarship. But most importantly, my girl is in the stands. I don't care if she's watching me or not, she's still there and I'm playing for her tonight.

Abby's POV

"Abby, we need a lot of time for tonight!!" Meghan whines next to me in the bleachers. "There's so much to do and you're making me watch a sport I don't care about."

I roll my eyes," I did the same for you so its payback. Besides, its their last game and I'm supposedly the MVP or some shit."

"I think you're just here to watch someone play," she says. Well she's not entirely wrong.

Its the beginning of third quarter now and Noah has been kicking ass. Our team has been doing really great with their team work. Since Dylan is in jail for almost killing my ex-boyfriend, this guy replaced him. He's honestly a douchebag times ten billion.

He's a sophomore... Or a junior... I don't really care but he's really annoying. Stupid Tommy.

On the court, I notice the team is huddling up. I'm close to them so I can hear their conversation over this hype crowd.

"Come on coach, listen to me just once," Tommy says.

"No, we're sticking to Noah's plan," coach says back.

"But its the plan we've been playing by every game," Tommy says.

"And thats why we win most of our games," Noah argues.

I roll my eyes as I continue listening," are you picking a fight with me?" Tommy asks.

"Zip it freshie," Noah says, trying to focus.

"I'm a junior, grandpa," Tommy says back, getting closer to Noah. 

"Cut it out," coach says.

Tommy seems amped up," no, I ain't done with this old man. What do you bring to the table?"

Noah rolls his eyes," I'm the captain of the team you're playing on. So I suggest you shut up and focus on winning this game."

"So what? What're you gonna do about it? Marry me?" Tommy teases.

Noah is shaking his head and his hands are in fists. Come on Noah, you know better then this.

"What're you waiting for husband? Are you too much of a baby?.. Oh wait. Maybe you already have a kid," Tommy says all over Noah.

Come on Noah, don't let him get to you.

But its not like he can hear me because Tommy shoved Noah and that set him off. Noah's hand swung and hit Tommy right in the face, causing him to fall down. But Tommy wasn't going down without a fight so he tried kicking him but the coach and team members were pulling them away from each other. 

"Well, it looks like Captain Evans and new player Thomas is off the court. What a misfortunate ending to their season," the person on the loudspeaker says.

I shake my head before getting up and exiting the gym. As I'm walking in the hallway, Noah was at his locker getting his stuff. My brain is telling me to keep walking to the door but somehow my feet starts walking to Noah.
