Cindy and Rose were sitting beside me eating pizza while we are watching tv, waiting for Wolves to appear. The stadium is so big and noisy. The camera was showing the crowd shouting and waving about.

As soon as the players come out of their tunnel, the camera focuses on Logan. The commentator giving him compliments and hundred thousands of crowds chanting his name.

As much as I love seeing him, it hurts. I can even now imagine all the groupies wanting him, waiting for a chance to get him. He is now free and can choose anyone he wants with a snap of his finger.

Ugh I shouldn't torture myself like this.

As the game goes on, even I could see that Logan was not playing well, losing ball, getting tackled, missed passes. Cindy can't help but stand up and curse, "Snap out of it you bastard! What the hell are you doing!"

Okay, he was playing really really bad tonight.

It can't be due to what happened yesterday. It couldn't possibly affect him. Especially by the way he brushed me off. It must be the opponents, they must be really good.

"Maybe that's what he gets for being such a dick" Rose shrugs.

My body heats up instantly, surprisingly me, in anger. Some part of me still feel protective of him. I don't what anyone else to say shit about him.

God, that is so wrong. What the hell am I doing.

Suddenly a huge uproar takes up the screen, snapping me out of it.

Then I think I stopped breathing. Logan was lying on his side on the ground, holding his leg and writing in pain.

I stood up as if I could do something about it.

"What is going on!" I shouted wanted Cindy to tell me that it was just a harmless fall, happens all the time. But as an athlete myself, I understand perfectly what is going on. He doesn't look fine in any way.

The medic team quickly ran to him, talking to him before taking away. The commentator talking about how it can affect the team but I don't give a fuck about his team.

"Cindy, do you have any friend who went to watch the game live? "

"Uh, First of all, we basically got same friendsss, and second Calm down. It won't help. We just have to wait for a bit before we can know what's really going on"

"But how!" I just realised that I got none of Logan's teammates or friends' number!! Holy shit.

And it's not like Logan will give me. He'll go all ape shit if I do ask too. Second of all, I never thought that there will come a day where I will be needing it. I'm such an idiot.

"I don't know! And stop pacing. You are making me more anxious too" Cindy shouts back.

I do have Jake number. I groan knowing it is my last hope. I will have to put my pride aside. More importantly, I don't know if Jake will even pick up. He probably blocked me already.

I couldn't stop stressing and worrying about the whole thing as the game continues. I want the game to end so badly. I don't care who wins anymore.

As soon as the wait is over, I watch the field filled with teams who joyed over the win, the mascots, reporters and cheerleaders coming in to cheer and interviewed. And also the wolves defeated face. It feels like forever while they get interviewed before they head back in.

I pick my phone and dial Jake's number quickly. After a few rings, I was shocked to hear Jacob on the other side, "What do you want?" he hissed bitterly.
