My Bestfriend Loves Me (Completed)

Chapter 22

Adam's P.O.V

"Run Adam. The ball is coming towards you." I heard the coach yell on the top of his voice.

I started running towards the ball as fast as I could but I couldn't reach on time and we lost the golden opportunity of making a goal.

"What's wrong with you Carter. Where's your mind today? Concentrate on the game." Coach yelled again.

"Are you okay Adam? You seem a little distracted." Ethan asked with a concerned look in his eyes.

"Yeah I'm fine. You guys practise, I'm going to take a little break." I said and started walking towards the bleachers to take a seat.

The moment I took a seat coach came running towards me and in his shrewd voice said, "Carter what's wrong with you? Tomorrow we have a big game and I don't want my best paper to play like this tomorrow."

"I'm sorry coach. I don't know what's wrong."

"50 laps."

"What?"

"You heard me right Carter! 50 laps of the ground. Come back only when you figure out what's wrong with you." He said and went to see how the boys were playing.

I got up and started to jog around the ground, simultaneously I kept thinking why I was so distracted today. After a few laps I knew what was wrong. Alex. He was the reason for this. I couldn't concentrate on my game because of the stupid talk I had with him this morning. He had called me home for breakfast so I agreed to it, little did I know about his actual intentions.

*Flashback*

"So strawberry or vannila what do you want?" Alex asked with a cheerful smile on his face.

"Vanilla will be good." I replied

"Cool."

"Where's Addie? I thought she would join us for breakfast too."

"Well I sent her early to school today because I needed to talk to you."

"Talk to me? About what?"

"About Ad."

"Why? What's wrong? The last time we met she was perfectly normal. Did something happen Alex?"

"No. She's doing fine. It's just that.."

"Just what?"

"How long are you going to pretend as if everything is normal between you two?" Alex said and for a second I was actually surprised because I couldn't understand what he was trying to say.

"I don't understand anything."

"I know you love my sister Adam. I can clearly see it in your eyes. The only thing I don't understand is that why don't you just tell her about it."

"Alex I don't know what you are talking about."

"Please Adam stop acting like a kid and just man up to tell her about your feelings."

"I don't have any feelings for her."

"Someone else would believe you but not me Adam. I know how much you care for her and she feels the same way about you, it's just that you both aren't ready to accept this."

"I'm not really having this conversation with you right now. I need to go, I'm getting late for practise and thanks for the breakfast." I said and got up from the chair to leave, my mind couldn't really process all the things that just happened. How does Alex know about this? I thought I was good with hiding my feelings but I guess I failed. Now that Alex knows about this, Addie will know too and then everything might change between us. I couldn't let that happen. I can never even think of losing her. She meant the world to me, without her I'm nothing.
