"I can't do this anymore", I whisper, a single tear rolling down my cheek. I am looking at the floor and try desperately to keep my voice steady. "I gave my best this term. I really did. I studied more than ever, trained harder, tried my best with friends and family... I gave everything I have and I did not give up. But it's not working. It's just not working... I just cannot do it anymore... I cannot do any of it... I- I-... I just want to-" The tears start flowing faster now as my voice breaks. My whole body is quivering and I feel small and vulnerable like I have always been in the past couple of months. But now something is different. A warm hand touches my shoulder, showing me that I am not alone anymore. Astoria Wells is a senior high school student studying by the IB diploma program at a prestigious school in London.

The nationals are over, the third years stayed to practice with the team until the end of the school year. Everything should be amazing... so how could a drunk driver dare to ruin everything ? One accident, one bad move, and it ends with a teenage boy fighting for his life, a worried family, and a whole volleyball team agonized for their teammate, and a boy secretly in love who just can't go on with his life like he should. (read at your own risk, pretty emotional and angsty)
