The Twist Of Fate

Ch. 17 Nine Months Down The Drain

It's been two months since Christmas. I've been giving Brandon a ride home everyday. He's been my partner everyday and I've grown know that he's a pretty cool guy.

Today was our last practice of the season other than people going to state. I am 15-5. My coach says that I've made it this far because I work harder than any of the other boys. The boys I wrestle never take in easy on me. I am wrestling 130 pound boys and they try everything to pin me. I mean everything. They grow boners in two seconds. They touch me in my "no no" places a lot. Which that really makes me bad. When I get mad, I get really mad. My anger makes me stronger than I already am. That drives me to pin the other person.

"Ok, so I know tomorrow is our last meet and I need you people to know that I'm very proud of each and everyone of you." Durkin said. "As you know, Basehor, Thompson City, Turner and Curwin will be here tomorrow. They are some good competition. But we are better. Let's make this practice the best."

When we got out of practice I drove Brandon home. When I parked the car in his driveway he just sat in the seat and stated at his hands. About two minutes later he looked at me and I looked at him. He quickly smashed his lips into mine. He pulled away and ran into his house.

Did Brandon Willis just kiss me?

Soon I arrived home and went to bed. The next day school was just a blur. I was so concentrated on the match, I couldn't focus on school. Soon, my last hour was over and it was time to go put my uniform on.

I made my way to the locker room. Went to my locker and pulled out my duffel bag. I never do wear underwear under my singlet. It's uncomfortable. I pulled on my sports bra and pulled up my singlet to my waist. I puller my sweat pants over my legs and put my jacket on. I went over to the mirror to look at myself. My flat stomach looked great under my jacket. I zipped it up right underneath my sports bra. I put my hair up neatly into a bun. I slipped my slides on and went to check in. The gym was packed with wrestlers and coaches. I checked in and found my coach. He gave me a little pep talk. After that was over, I went to go find my boyfriend. My eyes wandered around the gym. I saw Basehor's coach and found him standing with a group of his friends.

"Hey, baby." I said walking up to Nathan and giving him a kiss.

"Hey!" he said kissing back.

I stood there talking to Nathan and some of his other friends. I've met all of them. I usually go to some Basehor parties with Nathan and that's how I know most of the people who go to school there. They are really nice people.

I remember one time when we went to one the parties, it was on Lake Linder. There was a lot of drinking and drugs there that night, of course I didn't do anything. One of Nathan's friends came up behind me on the dock and shoved me in the water. Nathan saw and he threw him in the water next to me. It was pretty fun.

While standing next to my lover, something caught my eye. Gabby, my brothers ex girlfriend, was staring over at me. She had a devious smile on her face and she was staring straight into my soul. I don't like that bitch. I gave her an innocent smile and flipped her off. She just rolled her eyes and started talking to one of her clones, or "friends".

I said goodbye to my boyfriend for now and headed back over to my team. I put my head phones is and paced back an forth, getting pumped for my match. They called my weight and I checked in. I walked onto the mat. Blood pulsing through my veins, my heart beat quickened, I was tense. I knew it was ready to go. My opponent walked onto the mat, giving me a look of satisfaction. He was a tall, blue eyed, blonde boy. He's somewhat muscular. He was a very attractive boy. I'd say he's a sophomore. I made eye contact with him, his eyes softened as he gave me a wink. My eyes went into fierce mode. He pissed me off. The whistle blew, then everything was a blur.

The next think I know, I was standing up facing towards the boy. The referee had my wrist and was raising it above my head. I won.

I waited about thirty more minutes until my next match.

This was the match I had to win so I could go to state. I stepped onto the mat, nervous as hell. My opponent stepped on. He was a muscular boy. He had dark black hair and piercing blue eyes. I took a deep breath. His eyes looked me over and he began to laugh while shaking his head.

"This will be easy." he said under his breath.

All of the nervousness I had suddenly disappeared.

"I'm not that easy." I said, just loud enough for him to hear me.

"COME ON ROXANNE!" I heard Nathan yell. "I LOVE YOU, BABY!"

"You're named after a stripper from a Police song?" the boy asked.

I clenched my teeth while shaking his hand. He's really pissing me off.

"You better believe it." I replied.

Then, everything was a blur. The next thing I know, the ref had my wrist once again raised above my head.

I'm going to state.

I could tell the other boy was embarrassed. I went over to him and shook his hand.

"You did good." I said.

He smiled and said, "You did better. I'm sorry for being a dick. Good luck at state."

"Thanks." I said smiling at him. I turned away and went to the stands to watch Nathan. He won't both matches but he's not going to state because of his records before this meet.

I was called over by my coach. He gave me a pep talk and congratulated me on state. I ran to the locker room and changed out of my singlet and into a pair of jeans. I ran into the gym, looking for Nathan.

I went over to his team and they told me he was walking towards the coaches offices.

I ran towards the offices, "Nathan!?" I yelled.

I opened the coaches office door and turned on the light. When I looked up I saw the life changing moment. The heart breaking moment. I felt my blood run cold and my body start to shake. My eyes welled up with tears. I fists clenched.

Nathan had Gabby up against the wall, kissing her. Gabby's legs were around his waist and her arms around his neck. His hands were clenching her butt. They were in an embraced kiss.

"The fuck you think you're doing?!" I screamed.

Nathan pulled away and his eyes got really wide while he put Gabby down.

"Roxanne? Let me explain." Nathan started.

"Fuck you." I said coldly, tears streaming down my face.

I walked over to him and shoved him away from Gabby.

I turned around and grabbed her by her throat and held her against the wall with one arm.

"I thought I told you to stay away from him." I said.

Her eyes got really wide, fear filled her eyes. I punched her square in the nose. Her head smacked against the cold, white, brick wall.

I let go of her and she fell to ground knocked out. Her body laid limp but she was still breathing, unfortunately. Her nose was crooked and I could see the bone. Her nose was gushing blood.

I turned to Nathan, "I trusted you. I love you. This is how you repay me? We're done. Don't talk to me, don't think about me, don't come to my house, and don't come near me. You thought you wouldn't get caught? Think before you do shit." I said coldly. My tears tuned into a water fall.

"But I," he began, trying to hug me.

I pulled the locket off of my neck and pulled the ring off of my finger and through them at his feet.

"But you love me, right?" I said interrupting me. "Save it."

After that I ran away from him. Grabbed all of my stuff, and went home.
