Chapter 12: The Big Game

~Scarlet's POV~

"Are you sure that you want to be at this stupid game?" Zach asked me while we walked in the hallway. I sighed, rolled my eyes and turned around. "Why does everyone keep asking me that? Of course I'm sure. What I'm not strong enough to do this?" I asked harshly. Seriously, am I that weak? "No, it's just that you're going to breakup officially with your werewolf-mate thingy. It most likely won't go too well" Zach pointed out as we neared the guys locker room. "Trust me. I've got this" I told him. "I'll be waiting for you. Just scream if you need help" Zach assured me. "Thanks" I mumbled and opened the door. As soon as I stepped inside, the steam from the showers hitting my slightly naked skinned stomach. There were wolf whistles and cat calls as I walked past. Scoffing, I walked over to Grady. He was shirtless and only had his football pants on. He looked up and smiled, it soon faltered when he saw my angry expression. "We need to talk" I told him sternly. "We are" Grady said, matching my stern voice. His wolf was trying to come out. I wanted to flinch so badly and apologize. My mouth had other ideas. "Fine. We're done" I stated and turned around. "Why?" Ace (Grady's wolf) growled out. "You know why" I said softly, my body trying to submit to Ace. Hurt flashed through his eyes. "I didn't cheat on you" Grady said, taking control. "Doesn't matter,it's in the past. We're in the pass" I told him. "But we're mates. We can't live without each other" Ace growled out. "Then you'll have to try. Go back to your little bitch" I said harshly, getting out of the grip that he had on me. "Come on, don't let Mark and Kimberly break us apart" Grady whispered, cupping my cheek, his thumb stroking my left cheek. "They didn't have to. You already have" I said and walked out. I could hear one of the lockers being punched. "How'd you do?" Zach asked as he pulled me into a hug. "Better than I expected" I said, hugging my brother. "Come on, Mark will be happy to see you" Zach whispered and pulled me outside to the field.



~Grady's POV~

"Come on, don't let Mark and Kimberly break us apart" I whispered, cupping Scar's cheek, my thumb stroking her left cheek. I was desperate and needed her. Please say yes. "They didn't have to. You already have" she said and walked out. Ace came back in control. He punched the locker, creating a huge dent. I rested against the dented locker and seethed with anger.


~Scarlet's POV~
I sat with Zach and Hannah watching the game. I could see many scouts. Kimberly and the other cheerleaders were doing a stunt when Jessica fell, the bases not even going to catch her. At half time she was rushed to a hospital. I could see every cheerleader was pissed off at Kimberly. It was a difficult stunt and they weren't ready to even try it out. But hey that's none of my business. After the end of half time I felt Grady starring at me. I shifted uncomfortably in my seat. Our school was winning 49 to 42. "Grady" "Grady" "Grady" "Grady" everyone kept chanting. Cliché moment was when each chant felt like I was being stabbed in the heart. "I thought I could handle this Zach but I can't. I'm going to be at the car if you need me" I told Zach while standing up. "You sure?" Zach asked also standing up. I looked down to where Grady was standing. "Yeah" I whispered and started to walk to the stairs of the bleachers.

~Grady's POV~

"Grady" "Grady" "Grady" "Grady" everyone kept chanting my name. Except the one person I wanted to hear from. I could feel Scarlet's emotions. I could feel all the pain I caused her. I looked at my teammates and then back to Scar. She was walking towards the stairs to exit. Thunder was heard from the night sky. I looked back at my teammates. "Sorry guys" I said and handed the football to Mark. I was on okay terms with him since he hacked the school's security to the time when Kimberly forced herself on me. I had the camera waiting in my bag. "TUCKER WHAT ARE YOU DOING? GET BACK IN THE GAME" I could the coach yell. Ignoring him, I walked over to where Champ was and handed him the usb. He went over to a computer and plugged it in, the video playing on the big screen.


~Scarlet's POV~

As the video played I was conflicted wether or not to forgive Grady. I made it to the stairs just in time to see Grady made his way to the bottom of the stairs. I turned around to leave when I felt his hand grab my arm. It wasn't hurtful, just a desperate way to get my attention. I turned around to meet his handsome face. "Please forgive me" Grady said desperately. Everyone was watching us. I started to think of all the good times that we had shared. Thunder was being heard all across the field. "Okay" I whispered, barley audible. Grady grinned ear to ear and leaned down bringing his lips to mine. It started to rain heavily. We broke apart as everyone cheered. I grinned also. "Sorry for the misunderstanding" Grady apologized. "It's okay" I told him as he I could hear Kimberly screeching in the distance but that didn't really matter. All that mattered was the handsome,but idiotic, boy holding me.
