The Time Before Dawn

Bailey Grey is an intern at a clinic, studying to become a physical therapist. Although only in high school, she enjoys helping out at the clinic after school and during her free time.

However, when star quarterback Aiden Hurley tears his ACL over winter break, Bailey is assigned to work with him for three months until the start of the school football season.

Confused and uncertain of his football future, Aiden doubts Bailey's ability to help him. After all, she's only a high school student, right? What can she do?

"Okay, now squat-go slowly."

"What?" Aiden asks, bewildered.

"Not what, squat," I state, rolling my eyes.

"I think you just want to see my butt."

My eyes widen and my face warms. "W-what? No! Just-just squat!" I order, looking anywhere but him and his (admittedly nice) cake.

"I mean, why else would I be doing this if we've already done so much this session?"

"Because it's part of the recovery plan?!"

"Sure."

"How the hell am I supposed to deal with this?" I mumble to myself.

"Fuck, I don't know," came Aiden's reply.

I scrunch my nose, "You weren't supposed to hear that."

"Hmm, just like how I wasn't supposed to hear how you have a crush on me?"

Meanwhile, I'm in the corner, choking on air. "W-what?"

"Your supposed 'best friend' told me."

"Grace Veronica Evans," I mumble, "I'll murder that little bas-"

"Hey. You know, maybe I can make it up to you by taking you on a date?" he asks with a smirk.

"Keep your mouth closed and squat!"

There will be some swearing and mature language - read at your own risk ;)

This is my first published book on Wattpad and my writing skills are pretty subpar but please give this book a chance. Thank you for reading!
