Last Night

Chapter 13: The Game and More Tears

Abby's pov

I led warm ups and then we decided to break into two small groups and scrimmage. Every time I hit the ball I put all my anger and emotions into the hit and I was beginning to over work myself and I felt weak and sick but I kept pushing on.

The other team arrived and used half of the gym to warm up while we kept scrimmaging. We finally stopped warming up and took a water break. I took a small sip and started bumping the ball and tried to see how many bumps I could get ib a row. When I had enough anger in me I just spiked the ball and walked out of the gym.

I didn't know where anything was so I just went to the nearest bathroom locked the door and sat up against it. I heard a knock on the door and I just sat there as I heard Louis' voice asking if I am ok. I just said "I'm scared and angry and I don't know how much more of this I can take. I don't want to explode and hurt everyone I love." I took a deep shaky breath and he said "Let me in. Come on babe let me in." I slowly stood up and opened the door. He closed it behind him and locked it.

I started giggling when I realized our situation. Louis looked at me and tilted hus head as he said "What?" I shook my head and said "Your locked in a girls bathroom with me." he smiled and pulled me bu the waist closer to him and I kissed his soft lips as his hands slid up my sides and up to my face. I just wrapped my arms around his neck and played with the hen of his shirt. I'm pretty sure he felt me tense when our tongues touched because he pulled back and said "What's wrong?" I shook my head and pulled him back to me to reconnect our swolen lips.

We exited the bathroom and walked back into the gym as eager parents and fans entered the gym. He gave me a quick good luck kiss before I grabbed the ball and got ready to serve. While everyone got in there positions I scanned the crowd for a specific curly haired boy with tatoos and the perfect accent but didn't find him.

I threw the ball in the air jumped up and hit it as hard as I could. The opposing team sent it back over with plenty of force. It came back to me so I bumped  it up to one of the girls in the front and she hit it over and scored a point. Slowly the anger started to dissipate and I got into the zone. I even smiled and relaxed as we switched postions and kept the game going. 

By half time the score was 7 to 3 us having 7 and winning. Louis got up from the stands and walked up to me as I grabbed my towel and wiped the beads of sweat from my forehead. "Well look at you acting all tough in your cute little uniform." he nearly made me spot out my water because I was laughing so ga hard. He pulled me close and kissed me as the whistle blew telling us to get back to the game.

When the game was over reality hit again. Even though we won I couldn't help but hold in more tears. My realization of Harry leaving and me having to go to court in a week hit me. I was instantly put back in the funk I started with. I grabbed my bag and left the gym. I walked out to Louis car and just sat in my emotions alone. He came out a few minutes later and drove me back to Rebekah's.

I walked in the house and went right to the basement with Louis following. I changed into some shorts and a school spirit shirt. I sat on the floor and began doing sit ups and crunches. I did 50 each before flipping on to my stomach to do some push ups. Louis began to worry when I got on the tred mill and started sprinting. He turned off the tred mill and said "You need to take a break before you hurt yourself." I looked at hin as I caught my breath and said "You know this is what I do to calm me down." he shook his head grabbed my hand and led me to the couch and sat me on his lap and said "Its not working is it?" I shook my head no and rested my head on his shoulder. Louis placed his hands on my lower waist and kissed me as I wrapped my arms around his neck I pulled away and grabbed my stomach and winced. I began to moan and I jusy clutched to my stomach as Louis jumped up grabbed me in his arms and ran me upstairs with his keys in his hand.
