Theo POV

"what's going on with coach today, I can't catch a fucking break," Scott said wheezing as he ran up to me on the track.

I pulled out a fresh bottle of water and handed it over to him. I felt sorry for him and the rest of the team today. Judging by the date today was going to be a hard day for Elle. Which isn't a surprise that she is clearly taking it out on her students.

"today is a bad day, just try and not get her mad because I can't salvage any of that" I said staring at Elle currently yelling at one of her students as they do laps around the track.

Scott sighs as he limps back, his hand pressed into his side.

Today was the anniversary of her grandfather's death. This morning we started it by lighting candles at the nearest church. She was feeling all kinds of emotions today.

"you really think she should be working today?" Ryan says jogging up to me.

"you know she's using every minute with her team, and plus it's probably the perfect distraction" I replied.

Elle had only 4 days until the competition and we were 2 weeks away from the big game, so stress levels were high right now. The minute we got back from the airport Elle was already planning out the next few days of training.

"I guess you're right. I hope she doesn't over work herself because that can't be healthy"

Agreed, but Elle knows her limits I have every bit of faith in her that she will be fine.

"Jesus, look at those two. I'm just waiting for Elle to go all crazy on them" Ryan said looking over at my sister and Jacob.

"I actually want that to happen" I mumble looking in with distaste.

Ever since the event they have been stuck together, it's like they hadn't been together in months by the way that they were acting.

"looks like our wish is coming truuue" Ryan sang out. I watched Elle beeline straight for the pair. Scott watching with a giant grin on his face, he probably told Elle.

She smacked Jacob on the arm and started saying something to him, pointing her finger at his head then at his lower region.

I laughed at Jacobs reaction.

"damn, she has got some big balls that woman" Ryan whistled. Damn right she has.

"alright movies over I really got to do some work" I said looking away. As much is, I would love to just watch Elle all day, the team needs me.

"well yeah, that's what I'm paying you for right" Ryan said.

Not nearly enough I thought. But I wasn't going to say that to him. Being a professional footballer really helped my bank accounts, I have enough to last me my life.

I jogged up to Jacob "you couldn't just wait a few hours" I asked him as he is watching Jenny leave. He glanced over at me. "I wasn't even doing anything bad, its not my fault she's having a bad day" he grunted.

I instantly slapped his back hard. "don't be a prick Jacob, you don't know what she's going though so don't make stupid assumptions" I said seriously to him.

Jacob went tense. "why, what's happened" he asked instantly. I knew that he had big respect for Elle.

"just don't make assumptions on things you don't know Jacob and get back to being a captain of your team" I said walking away and heading to coach.

Us boys can be real idiots sometimes. Me included.

After training was finally over, I headed to her office. Tina had told me that Elle locked herself away in the office for the remainder of the day.
