Hi everyone! So, in the beginning, the chapters will be super short but will get longer as the plot develops. The chapters will switch between two characters.

Awesome! Also, I make assumptions about football teams, but I know they are not always true.

For the most part I will not do the exact same scene from both pov, even though its the same day, it will be different

Levi

Tuesday-3:35 p.m

Between the humid air and sweaty helmet, I can only imagine what my hair looked like plastered on my forehead.

I chugged some water before returning to the field. My team stood in a line, each holding their helmets and waiting impatiently for me.

Giving them a brief smile, I glanced them over.

This was my team. Some have been with me since I started, and some new.

We are a "brotherhood," at least that's what our coach says. He says we will always be there for each other.

But that was an absurd lie.

All of us knew that the team would be the first to ridicule you and the last to say bye as you vanish into nothingness.

Yet, I tell them I will always be there for them.

But the most they've ever told me was all the girls they hooked up with.

The most I've told them was that my name was Levi.

"This team," I projected my voice, jutting my helmet out for emphasis. "Is a family. And we will always be there for each other."

I felt stupid giving this pep talk because we all knew it was false.

This team would never be there for you.

Maybe that is why I didn't tell them damn about me.

The boys nodded, each breathing heavily after the previous jog.

"So, if you need anything, come to me," I hollered, squinting through the sun.

I studied each of their faces but knew that none would help me.

Because they never have.

"I'm always here for you," I praised, taking on my typical role of the golden boy leader.

For the past two years of giving the same speech, I've pleaded for someone to tell me they are there for me.

A/N: Don't be scared to get help, there will always be someone there for you! Me included.

Thanks, guys! Please vote and comment! (also, I will post an intro in a few hours giving disclaimers and campaigns and such.)
