"Go back to playing with dolls and shopping with your friends. This sport isn't for a girl like you, leave it to the people who can actually play this game." His words stung me.

Was he telling me I couldn't do something! 
Was he saying I wasn't good enough!

"Are you scared I can become a better player than you? Do you fell threatened by me or something?!" I was furious now! How could he even say something like that to me!

"Threatened? Scared of you? I'm not scared of you. I'm scared for you! I know you are going to get hurt and I'm not going to let you do that to yourself if it's the last thing I do." His voice a whisper, he nearly sounded defeated.

"Well than I'm going to get hurt, because nothing is going to stop me from keeping on playing" I said ending the conversation by leaving the gym.

She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?" "But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body. "No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece. I'm okay, you're okay, we're okay," She speaks softly, reaching her hand up to gently brush her thumb over my cheek, just under the cut that's there. "We're okay," I repeat, taking a small step closer to her. She nods with a small smile, moving her hand down from my cheek and instead placing the palm of her hand on my chest, right over my heart. I know she can feel how fast my heart is beating. I just don't know why it's doing that. ~ Reece Carter is the bad boy of Northwood High. He smokes and he fights.

"Always go with the choice that scares you the most, because that is the one that is going to require the most of you." -Caroline Myss He scowled and put a finger up to my lips. "Mallie," he whispered, "listen to me. You and only you are the girl that matters to me the most in this world, ok?

Don't ever forget that." _______________________________________________________________________________________________ Have you ever had to make a choice?
