He drove me home in silence.
I could tell he was really upset after the loss. I wanted to comfort him but I had no idea how to.
I could have said we should still go out, but I didn't want to sit there and him just be in a bad mood the whole time. Is that selfish?
"At least it was a close game," I say, trying to make him feel a little better.
"Exactly! It was too close. We should have gotten that stupid field goal but Jensen is such a fucking idiot. How do you miss that?" He screams. The pit in my stomach grew.
"Well, it's just one game. You may have lost the battle, but you could still win the war."
"What?" he turns to me as we stopped at the red light.
"Well, the season just started, it's just one game. You have how many? You may have lost them tonight, but you could take them in the championship and win the whole war." I say, smiling at how confused he is. I can see him ease up a little.
"Yeah, yeah, that's a good point. I just didn't want to lose the first game of the season. It's a huge deal. I don't know, I just wish it could have gone differently." I smiled again, he was calm and opening up.
We pulled up to my house and I slipped off the t-shirt he gave me.
"Thanks for the ride and the shirt," I say. He smiled back.
"I'll see you around Cassie."
I basically float to the door. He blue eyes left an imprint on my skull, I'll never get it out of my system.
