Chapter 45: Basketball

Sorry that i didn't update, Story credit to @HockeyIsLife87--------------------------------------------------------

We all head to the gym the next day. We warm up and than split off into our teams. I sneak away and slip on my knee brace, even though I play hockey without it, I still play basketball with it. When I come back everyone looks at me and i look down at my brace.

"Kate, you wear a knee brace?" Max asks.

"Yes, I just don't play hockey with it." I shrug.

"Lets play!" Kris shouts and Joe .and my team heads to the court. I am going to play the point guard. We win the jump and Flower passes the ball to me. I take it down the court and look for a open pass.

"Someone?" I say.

"Play man!" Joe yells and everyone moves out leaving Joe and I one on one. "You should just turn it over Kate." he laughs.

"Apparently you have never seen my play." I smirk. I fake left and break right leaving Joe in the dust and taking a perfect lay-up. I shoot him a smile and we smirks.

We win that game and we play Eric's team and win that too. Next it was Chris's team, because they beat Deryk's team. I smile at Chris as I dribble down the court.

You aren't good enough, you'll never make it!

That voice inside my head came and started saying hurtful things people said to me in high school and college.

Give up, you suck! You can't do anything!

I remember that day, the day before my ACL tore.

No one wants you here. Get a life loser!

I remember I screamed at that girl and got her kicked out of the league. She was apparently also trash talking to the reff that day too.

You'll never make it.

I turned around to that girl and said "watch me." and look where am I now. I made it. I proved you wrong.

I snap out if my thoughts and played basketball. I pass it of to Jordan and we try to run a play but fail.

"Reset!" I say and we rest. I pass off to James and run to the top of the key. "Hit me 3!" Jordan passes it to mean I take the three and make it.

"Ohhhh!" Everyone yells.

"The three queen is back!" I laugh.

"The three queen?" Chris asks.

"I make 9 out of 10 of my threes in games, and the nickname started to go from school to school, until everyone called me that." I laugh.

There is 1 minutes left and the score is 45-45. It is our possession and to win we need a three. Flower passes to me and I quickly look at the clock. 10 seconds left. I take the three and I hold my breath as I watch it hit the front of the basket. It slowly rolls in! We won!

"Good game, good game." I finish and we all head back to the lake house. When I walk in I hear a painful screech. I run back out and see Deryk on the ground. Mikayla is sitting next to him.

"Call 911." she cries and I whip out my phone.

Before I know it the EMTs are here and attending to Deryk. I pull Mikayla off to the side and try to talk to her about what happened. She barley responded to me. Could she be hiding something from us?

"Mikayla, please, what happened on the way home?" I ask.

"Nothing, okay! As soon as he got out of the car he fainted, that's all." she cries. I'm sorry to say but I don't believe her. I know she is my best friend, and we have been barn besties since we meet, but I know when she is hiding something and she is.
