Alone (GirlxGirl)

Chapter 7 - The Car Ride/Study Buddy

Taylor POV:

"Alrighty coach I'll see you tommorow!" I waved goodbye to coach as i proceeded to leave practice which was beyond hell given the fact that tommorow will be are first game here.

To tell you the least i wasn't nervous. In fact i was pumped! Excited for what would come for tomorrow. In the back of my mind i already knew we were going to take the dub and start off on a good foot towards the season.

This year feels different, i can tell that the team is beyond good and that we're all on the same page as far as trying to play smart and win the championship title this year. My thoughts were cut short when i received a text message from my boyfriend who was suppose to pick me up today after practice.

Jeremy: Hey baby unfortunately i can't pick you up again. Something came up. I'll see you tomorrow at your game. Love you.

I sighed dropping my backpack on the ground and plotting down on the nearest bench available.

This is the fifth time his done this to me this week. Why make a promise to someone when your just gonna end up breaking that promise in the first place.

Debating on if i should walk home or call my parent i decided to just call my brother to pick me up. At least with him i can go home with a smile on my face and not have to feel uncomfortable in the car.

While waiting for my big headed brother my thoughts drifted back to disconnecting relationship me and jeremy had. At this point i fell like im just with him to cover the fact that I'm attracted to girls more than guys.

Or maybe it was the constant fear of being labeled as a weird lesbo girl.

But part of me feels as if i should just stop the bleeding and end things with him. Not just for me but for jeremy too. Deep down i know he doesn't love me and i know he feels like his being trapped into something he doesn't want to be part of.

Now that I'm think about this i don't think me or jeremy have anything in common really besides having a passion for sport. My thoughts were yet again cut short by my annoying brother honking his horn at me.

Beep! Beep! Beep! "Lets go slow poke! I got a date tonight!" I pick up my belongings and proceeded to the passenger side but surprising found my mom sitting there. Fuck!

Not five seconds pass before i was bombarded with qeustion as i was opening the door.

"Why are you getting off of practice this late?! Where's jeremy?! And how come you haven't change?! You know how i feel about you wearing that stuff." I rolled my eye before locking in my seat belt.

"Hi to you too mom, my day was fantastic." I exclaimed dramatically.

"Don't give me that attitude missy. We didn't have to pick you up."

"Didn't ask you to pick me up in the first place" i mumbled while looking outside the window.

"Excuse me" my mom hissed at me with a look that told me don't test her.

"Mom calm down. She just got in the car. Give her a break" my brother reasoned with her trying to calm her nerves. "Lets just go to the grocery store and pick up dinner, then we can go home and everyone won't have to kill each other till we exit my car." He joked trying to eliminate the thick tension but deep down knew he ultimately failed at doing so. And with that said the ride to the store was a long dreadful silent ride.

As you can tell my family is a pretty dysfunctional one. My parents are on the verge of being divorce, the only reason my brother is still here and not of to college is because of me, my dads is gone majority of my life and my mom and i haven't been the closes since my freshmen year in highschool.
