Olivers pov

After the 5th knock on the door I give up and leave my room. Annoyed I walk down the stairs and wipe my tears. If it's my sister that forgot her keys again I'm going to kill her. I struggle to unlock the door and when I finally do, I jump as I see who it is. I immediately try to close the door, but Gavin manages to stop me.

Gavin: Wait, don't close the door..

He opens the door, grabs my hand and we get eye contact. He looks worried. I look away and pull my hand from his.

Oliver: Just leave me alone...

I walk towards the stairs but then I feel two arms wrap around me from behind. We stand there as tears slowly run down my cheeks.

Oliver: It was my fault... I made the team loose... I just... I couldn't get you out of my mind..

As I realize what I just said I break through his arms and rush up the stairs.

It's like I thought.. I ruined his biggest dream. Why did I have to get angry just before his most important match? Should I just leave? Fuck what do I do?

I finally walk up the stairs, unsure if I'm doing the right thing. When I get to his bedroom door I hesitate if I should enter. I decide to enter and I see him sitting on his bed, his hands covering his face. I walk up and sit next to him. I carefully place my hand on his shoulder.

Gavin: I'm sorry.. I didn't mean for this to happen.

Oliver doesn't say anything and just continues sobbing quietly. He probably doesn't want me here..

Gavin: Maybe I should just leave..

I get up from the bed ready to leave but he grabs my hand and shakes his head, pulling me towards him. I get on the bed again and he wraps his arms around me, burying his head in my chest. Surprised I caress his back. His sobbing gets louder as he hugs me tighter.

After a while he calms down and looks up at me. His face was red, covered in tears. He looks down as he tells me everything that happened. I wipe the tears running down his cheeks and we get eye contact. As we stare at each other his face turns an even darker shade of red, which I didn't think was possible. He quickly looks down and pushes me away. What happened..? What's going on?
