Breaking Steele Walls

Chapter 22

Before I start this chapter, I just wanted to share two stories that I recently read and LOVED! They are 1) Save Me. by caity_matey and 2) Temper by lynRogers15. They are both short and perfect for if you want a quick read that's amazing and really sucks you into the story. I'm not too sure what it is about these stories that makes me love them so much but I recommend checking them out and voting for them. They both deserve way more reads than they have now. Okay, on with the chapter!

"Alright everyone! Shhh. Quiet down." Michael said and motioned with his hands while he made his up way towards the front of the room.

It took a few seconds before everyone was quiet and had their attention on him.

Michael had a huge smile on his face and a mug of beer in his hand. "I want to officially congratulate this years All Star Champions, The Black Team!"

Cheers and applauds exploded throughout the room.

"I'm not going to lie, this year's competition was very tough and both teams played their best out there. But no matter who won, no matter whose name is on that trophy," he point at the All Star trophy, "We are all winners! Cheers!" he held up his beer.

"Cheers!", they all yelled as they held their own mugs of beer up and took a sip. Michael walked away and everyone began doing their own thing.

After the tense, final round of the competition (which was football), the Black team ended up winning the game and resulted in them winning the championship. They chose to go to Mario's to celebrate and the White team had to pay for the entire meal, including the orders of friends and family that came, though they didn't really mind because most of the members were extremely rich. Mario's was a local pub/restaurant that loved the gym and closed down the place just for the celebration. There were multiple tables for billiards and poker as well as tables and chairs for people to sit and a bar where adults could get some beer, which was exactly where Jason was at.

Jason and the guys were currently at the bar drinking and talking and overall just chilling. Jason felt a small, lazy smile stretch across his face. He liked this relaxed and stress free day he was having. He remembered back to earlier that day when he and Krystal went to the hospital. His smile slightly grew as he gazed at her playing billiards across the room with Liv and Liam. He must have been looking at her for a long time because he was suddenly seeing fingers snap in front of his face.

"Oi," Ryder said. "Stop making googly eyes at my roommate."

Jason shook his head to get rid of his thoughts before scoffing. "Who's making googly eyes?", he asked before taking a sip of his beer. He had been caught.

"Puh-lease," said Dylan. "Even a blind man could see that you were staring at Krystal like she was a tall glass of water. You're thirsty as fuck."

The rest of the guys laughed.

"Admit it Jason, you like her." Aaron wiggled his eyebrows.

"No I don't."

"Oh that's right. Because you loooove her."

Jason found himself looking back across the room at a smiling Krystal. Did he?

He felt a hand on his shoulder and turned his head to see Aiden with an amused smile.

"Look man, don't take them seriously. They're just teasing you. We all see the look you give her. But, you need to take this seriously though."

Long gone was the amused face he had on before. It was now replaced by a serious face and his voice dropped lower. Jason could now see the ruthless lawyer in him.
