Thirty Nine

Theo POV

I actually forgot how intense football training was. Since 5 this morning i have been out with the boys trying to get some practice before their game this week.

It's definitely been a great outlet for me. Elle made sure to distance herself from me which was probably the better choice because there are still feelings there.

I can't even look at my own son without feeling pissed. But just like every time she was right. Elle was right, my ex did still have feelings for me and made it her mission to make excuses to have us altogether.

Dillan was happy, no that was an understatement. He was fucking estatic. But me, no i was definetely not happy knowing that Elle is always so close yet so fucking far.

I stood underneath the shower in the locker rooms when i heard one of the guys call me. The guys were much more quiet now ever since that training session we had with elle's team.

They try to act all hard and cool but in reality they are just a bunch of pussies.

"Theo"

I stopped the water poking my head out to find kyle standing there.

" what is it" i asked with irritation.

He scratched his neck " there's something going down at the pool, Tina said its coach's father"

Oh fuck.

" Call Ryan" i said calmly as i quickly rinsed the shampoo out of my hair. I grabbed a towel and ran over to my gym bag. I shoved a tshirt over my head and wore my fitness joggers before running over there.

"You cant come here to my work, just leave you are embarrassing me"" i heard elle say to him as he was held back by security.

He was getting even more aggresive by each minute. I watched Elle close her eyes and flinch back. I barely had any control over my mind as i walked over to Elle. I wrapped my arm around her waist pulling her back to me.

She turned her head to me, relief in her eyes after seeing that it was me. I can't deny,that brought a smile to my face and filled my chest with passion.

It was a relief to everyone that he decided to leave on his own. Ryan took control of the situation by leading most of the students out leaving just us here with Elle.

You could clearly see that Elle was trying to keep it together.

"I hate how you see me like this" she said already halfway to distancing herself from me.

I had no other choice but to let her go, I know Elle well enough not to control her. She is her own woman and I can't do anything.

But that doesn't mean I won't try.

"Like what" I asked her even though I already kind of knew the answer.

"Weak" she mumbled before silently walking in to her office and closing the door.

I heard Tina sigh next to me as she watched elle.

" c'mon,come with me" I said to her as I walked towards the exit.

"You're not gonna leave like that are you?" Ryan asked me as I made my way to the door.

I watched Elle through her office window. She was staring at nothing. She did not need to be surrounded by friends. Elle was a unique character.

She just needed to know she had the support and that didn't mean we needed to watch her every move.

" I'm not her favourite person right now. She doesn't want me right now so"
