Wilder Dreams

Chapter 58

"You're going in Wilder" coach announces on our way out of the locker rooms.

"Which one?"

"Oh shoot uh sorry. Sage" he tells us and I nod. The girls who were playing, go out and get started. I sit next to Amandine Henry.

After 8 mins, coach tells me to warm up. I nod and I get up and warm to go in for Sinclair. When I'm up with the official, he puts our numbers up. I wait for Sin to walk up to me, she claps me on the back as I jog to where I need to be. I know its going to be one hell of game, considering no ones scored yet. When the whistles blown, we start over.

I get the ball from Lindsey and I pass through the defender in front of me. I see Ali running up and she kicks the "ball" and I end up falling forward after the sudden tackle. I fall and I feel sudden pain. I cup my ankle, she cleated me. I sit up and I push back the hair out of my face, and I hold my ankle. Raso walks over to me, with the Ref.

"You okay?"   I nod to her question. She offers me her hand, I take it and she helps me pull myself up. I feel slight pain in my ankle. I feel a pat on my shoulder, I look behind me and I see a concerned Ali.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm good" I tell her. The ref calls a penalty and apparently while I was down. Ali was given the yellow card. They set the penalty. Ashley is going to take it. We stand behind. The whistles blown and she runs up and kicks it. We run, and it hits the post, it bounces back and I kick it back to Lindsey, and she kicks it straight into the goal catching Ashlyn off guard. I run up to her and she hugs me.

We've earned a free kick. Sonnett takes it, and as she kicks it we run. I see it coming towards me, and I head it in, after it goes soaring to the back of the net. I'm tripped up. I fall but quickly get back up, and I see the girl who was behind me was Alex. I've spent the last 20 mins trying to pretend she doesn't exist in this game today. She looks like she was trying to apologize I ignored her and walked right past her.

We won 2-1, Marta scored at the last min from an assist of Alex. We shake hands with Pride players. Ashlyn runs up to me in particular.

"I've missed you" she tells me embracing me in a tight hug.

"Missed you Ash" I hug her back and we pull apart. Ali comes up to us

"Sorry about your ankle" she tells me sincerely.

"It's okay Ali, it's in the job description" I tell her laughing and I give her a genuine smile. We talk with each other as we walk to the stands to see Tobin and the kids. They greet Tobin of course and they goof around with the kids. I feel a tap on my shoulder, I turn around to be met with blue eyes. One's I use to feel so much for.

"Can I uh say hi to Savannah and Conner?" She asks me raspy and hopeful. I nod and she gives me a small smile, walks away to the kids. Only bad thing is, Tobin. She doesn't look happy at Alex walking over to the kids. I have to go change out. I walk to the locker rooms

Tobin Pov

"Hey guys" Alex tells the kids as she comes over. The kids look kinda shy, and they look at me for some type of approval. They nod and offer to shake Alex's hand. She was taken back at the student action. Did she really think the kids would suddenly be okay with what she did to Sage. They maybe young but they know what happened.

"Mom can we go with Ash and Ali?" Savannah asks me

"Yeah" I tell them, and they run along to find Ash. Alex looks at me silently.

"So you and Sage?" She tells me with hurt in her voice. I quietly scoff. "And the kids are calling you mom. Looks like you got what I what wanted with her" she tells me with anger. I walk over to her

"Maybe if you were loyal, you could have had it" I tell her getting up on her.

"Tobin she doesn't actually want you. You were just a second option" she tells me trying to get in my head. I mean Sage does want me right?.. Ugh I can't let her do this.

"Shut up Alex, you would know a thing about 2nd options wouldn't you? Cheating on the best thing that could happen to you" I fire back and I poke her chest hardly. She pushes me.

"If I hadn't, who do you think she would be with? Me! Tobin. She belongs with me, and you know that. You stole her from me, you were suppose to be my best friend!" She tells me angrily and pushing me. I think about it .. Did Sage start liking me just because I was a 2nd option? Would she have feelings for me if she was still with Alex? Am I a safe plan?
