"ready?" Skye asks me as I join the squad, we have to warm up a bit before we do the half time show.

"yeah, I'm ready"

"good, I need you to be 100% if you are gonna catch me, I don't want to hurt myself or hurt you" she tells me as she hits me lightly on the shoulder, I just give her a smile as I look to the field, I see Simon running with the ball and passing it to Chris Dixon who scored and the crowd and we cheered them on, I see Simon smile as he hugs Chris tight, I feel the jealously creeping up on me again, I don't want to be like this, we are not together, and we will never even be together and I just need to accept that.

"Harry, come on, we are about to start" Joe tells me as he snaps me out off my thoughts, I keep getting lost in them.

"yeah, good" I tell him as I just keep looking over to Simon, they are just playing extra time now and then we are on.

The performance was going very well, we got about half way through it before me and another boy had to throw Skye in the air, and we somehow messed it up, she went a bit to the side and her shoe caught me in the face.

"FUCK" I yell out, but that god no one can hear me because off the cheering from the crowd and we are in the back so I don't think anyone saw our little mishap

"you OK?" Skye asks me as she came down

"yeah fine, fine" I try to tell her, but my nose hurts

"you are not, you got a bloody nose" she tells me as she takes my hand and we walk off the field, I keep my head up as the coach comes running towards us, and I can feel a hand on my back

"Harry, are you OK, does your nose hurt?" she asks me and then I can hear another voice that I don't want to hear, I don't want him to see me like this

"Harry what happened?" Simon asks me as he comes running

"nothing, I'm fine, go play" I tell him, I don't want him to be here, I don't want him to see me like this, I just want him to go away right now.

"you are clearly not fine, your chest is blood red" Simon tells me and he sounds worried, I cant see his face as mine is looking up at the sky, to try and keep the blood inside my nose.

"you are about to start playing, don't worry" I tell him

"I still have about 10 minutes" Simon tells me as he puts his hand on my back and then he, Skye and one off the coaches take me inside the dressing room and make me lie down on a bench there.

"what is your name?" I'm asked and I just look at her shocked, why is she asking me what my name is, she should know my name

"you know my name?"

"answer the question, you got a shoe to the face, you might have a concussion or something like that" I get told,

"my head is fine, my name is Harry Lewis, and I'm 16, I started cheer almost 3 weeks ago, and this here is Skye Mangel, and this is Simon Minter, see I'm fine" I tell her as she is pressing a towel up to my nose, to try and stop it from bleeding so much.

"I think you might have broken your nose" I get told

"I don't think I have" I tell them truthfully

"just lay back, I'm going to take you to a doctor" I get told by the coach

"I really don't think there is anything wrong, it's just bleeding" I try to plead with her, but it's just bound to fail, she wants me to get checked out and it's a bit painful I wont lie, but they have put ice on it now, so it might stop pounding now.

"are you sure you are alright?" Simon asks me as he puts his hand on my shoulder, I feel myself relaxing at his touch, I don't want him to leave, but he needs to.

"I'm fine, go finish the game, I will just stay here" I smile at him

"no you are not, we are going to the hospital" I get told and I just moan out, I don't want to go, but I know I have to.
