Footballgf Stories

Fifteen minutes. That's all Jonah ever was, close enough to be real, close enough to meet... and still somehow impossible to keep. He wore black and gold, played football for Servitus, and found Athena the night her season ended in heartbreak. For three weeks, he became her safe place. Her midnight calls. The boy who held her together when everything else fell apart. Then his mom found out, and made him delete her. And he disappeared. Three months later, Athena swore she was done falling for boys. Until Nate added her on Snapchat. Two hundred thirty-seven miles away in Fresno, wearing blue and orange, Nate wasn't supposed to matter. But in three days, he became her favorite person-her first love at first sight, the boy who made her believe in forever. Then his mom found out and took his phone. And he disappeared too. Two boys. Two distances. Two love stories that ended before they could even begin. Now Athena is left with a phone full of screenshots, a heart full of what-ifs, and one question she can't stop asking: Why does everyone she loves leave?
