Sweet🖤 (Book 1)

Prologue. Karlie

Hello, I'm Karlie Marie...I go by Karlie Marie Marron...anyway...I'm 16 and my mothers name is Jessica Marron...I love my mom to death...she's always so amazing to me...I love my step dad too...Cameron...OH! and my step brother Collin...aka Cole...He's my bestfriend...

But anyway...I gotta go...Cheer!

"KARLIEEE!!" my mom yelled from downstairs

"I'm coming!!" I yelled back zipping up my bag

I let out a breathe pulling on my jacket before walking out my room closing the door.

"You ready for this game?" Cole asked following me downstairs

"yea...you ?" I asked following him

"Yea..."

Collins is on the Football team and I am on the cheerleading team...my mom thought it would be cool for us to support the team together since we do basically everything together...

"COLLINS!!KARLIE GET DOWN HERE BEFORE YOURE LATE!!!"

The game doesn't start for another half an hour but ok...

We rushed down the stairs bags in hand and uniforms on walking past our mom and Cameron out to the car.

"You guys nervous?"

"Nope..." Cole shrugged

"I just don't want to mess up my triple back handspring again" I sighed getting in the back with Cole.

"You'll do great sis..." Cole said tapping my thigh

"Thanks kid...you guys better win or I'm disowning you" I said pushing his arm

"You know we will" he rolled his eyes

He's right...they've won almost every year since he got there...

"GO ROMANS!!" We all yelled

I love my family...

*
After we cheered a bit we took a break so I was focused on Cole.

He was the running back so when he got the ball I've never seen him run that fast in his life.

He slipped through the two opposing players than spun around another guy and as soon as he went to pass the line...a guy tried to tackle him but Cole jumped right over him and rolled winning the game for us.

Everybody else cheered then started running out on the field so when I got put back down on the ground I ran out and jumped in Coles arms.

"That was amazing oh my god!" I said

He just smiled throwing and arm over my shoulder.

"I can't breathe" he managed to say collapsing on the ground.

"Cole?...collins are you okay?" I asked kneeling beside him

He was hyperventilating holding his stomach and squeezing his eyes shut.

Fuck...

"SOMEBODY!!!COACH!!!...WE NEED HELPP!!!" I exclaimed caressing Coles cheek trying to calm him down

Cole has a weird asthma condition where he can't be as active for a different amount of time...and if he is too active for wayyy to long he could die so we try to make sure if he is on the field and like since he's running back he has to run the ball they make sure we don't pass it to him unless he's closer to the end...but...I guess he was running way to fast and lost too much breathe still...

Since we're so close I'm kinda like his caretaker when stuff like this happens so I know everything about this...

"Cole slow breaths...innnn...outttt" I said holding his heart

He looked at me and listened breathing in and out.

Mom, dad, and coach came over along with some of his teammates and some of the cheerleaders.

"Cole...Baby?...Cole...baby what's wrong?"my mom asked moving hair out his face l

"I think it's his asthma...but nothing working...w...we need to get him to the hospital..."

"Ok..." Cameron said before he picked him up and threw him over his shoulder

I bit my lip standing up.

"Mom I'm gonna go get his stuff" I said

She nodded before I ran off for the locker room getting our bags out his locker...

*
"Yea...I feel much better" Cole said sitting up in the little chair

"You sure?...because you can stay another day and they can take care of you" Cameron said leaning on the wall

"Dad I feel fine...ill just use my pump and rest more...I've been running to much to practice for this game...that's it" Cole said

"maybe we should consider pulling you out of football...it's harming your body..." Mom said moving hair out Coles face

"What?!...no mom you can't!!" He exclaimed looking up at her

"Cole she's right...you could die...who'd be Karlie's bestfriend then?" Cameron said pointing at me

He looked at all of us wide eyed slumping down in his seat upset.

I could tell he didn't want to do that...football is his life...he pushed through because of his condition and he works hard to make sure he's safe...he just wanted to take another win for the team...yes their right but he deserves this bit of enjoyment...nothin else makes him that happy besides our family...he gets good grades just to be able to play football and get scouted...I support him...

"guys...he really enjoys football...he's not disabled...he just has a tiny breathing issue...I'm sure he'll be careful next time...d...don't take this away from him...it's his dream" I said defending Cole

He looked up at me and smiled before looking back and forth at our parents.

"We'll have to think about it..." Cameron sighed "just...when we get home...use your pump and humidifier before bed...get a lot of rest..."

"What about the team dinner?" Cole asked confused

" after that...we gotta go congratulate the team of course..."
