Chapter One hundred and fifty fiveDesiree….I had seen a free field just ten minutes walk from my place and I had planned on trying to play lacrosse there probably on my own and just some training,. the way I was feeling it felt like I had taken up the strength of ten separate men and added it to mine and now I was feeling like one of them super heroes. Ready to knock anything and anyone out so I thought to myself, why not use this energy on lacrosse???I walked down the road taking a corner and turning and by taking every corner I make sure I'm not being followed because after what had happened with that box I was to be very careful.That situation wouldn't scar me for life because God helped me through with it all but definitely it changed my perspective on this.First perspective- Why would anyone want to end me I'm just minding my business living on my own, I have no friends and I don't go out yeah that's the mentality I had for a very long time but the truth is most people don'
Chapter One hundred and fifty sixKillian.Have you ever wondered how a parent can birth two kids and both kids are just complete opposites of each other? One can be really kind, calm and gentle while the other is out there turning the whole city upside down.Yes I have Always wondered because I personally will judge a sibling by the other, if the first one I meet is really calm I will just assume that the other sibling is wonderful and as calm as the firs one I had met.But times and time again I have been proved wrong on that aspect … when I met siblings most of the times they are just too different.Complete and total opposites.Makes me wonder if they just take characters of each of their parents maybe each of the parents are just opposites and that seemed like the most perfect logic not in all cases but in the case of my father and his brother Zadok.Apparently right now Zadok is a half injured viper just out there on the loose.“My father had found out that Zadok had been sendin
Chapter One hundred and fifty sevenDesireeYou don't start a game with a broken mind to some that might be the fuel, but never ever start off with a broken mind you might end up breaking someone else physically, have the mind of a winner run through that field like you own it, like you own the wave that drives you towards that goal post, your aim is not to win your aim is to manoeuvre swiftly and light as a feather so you can score a goal, and know it's okay if your feet get tired but don't let your mind to get tired too, and once you got that chance score that goal!” These were the words of Shadow when he was my lacrosse coach. He believed in me, he saw the resilience and held it high and showed me what I was capable of. I wish I could hear his voice again and just have these exact same words on repeat in my ears. Those words will forever stick to me.I took a few laps around the field to get my body warmed up so I could get started to play.As I took laps around I sighted a few pe
Chapter One hundred and fifty eightDesiree…I just knew he looked so familiar. I averted my gaze over to Paige who was seated in the kiosk just minding her business and scrolling through her phone.As if knowing I was looking her way she dropped her phone and look straight to the the direction we were.She smiled to me and in a moment she started to jog across the field to meet up with us.She seemed very athletic, the way she jogged, very demure!!!“Didn't Mason say you are pregnant?” I raised my brow to his choice of words, I could already tell he is one not to have any filter in his mouth.I remained silent and watched him.I already did it I wasn't in for banter of words no, it's either I coached them or they coach themselves and I leave and go to eat some lobsters at home.After realising that I wasn't going to t answer any questions not relating to lacrosse he decided to say the dumbest thing ever.“We don't need a coach, we are fine on our own, guys let's go!” He concluded an
Chapter One hundred and fifty nineDesiree.And with that being said…I took out my water bottle and downed it all in one go…I dropped my bag and started to head for the shop where Paige was working. If we had to win we had to do this the right way, I looked around in the store for a loud speaker that I had seen those kind of speaker you talk into to make yourself audible and clear enough.This speaker was for two things…One - For the obvious, to make myself loud and audibleTwo - To blast out the amount of negative words that people had filled their ears with…This speaker will only speak good things and we throw negativity out of the window or better still we blast it off into space.I found some batteries too and boom the speaker was loud and clear.I also found a whistle, neat and untouched…Wonderful.I found flags too and I didn't know if I was going to need them but I. took them still I might just need them.I walked out of the shop remembering that I left Dylan standing on
Chapter one hundred and sixty Killian Morning came and I couldn't help but to just stare out of my window and just anticipate all that xandros has in store for us.Did I sleep through the night?? yes!!!Actually I did sleep like a toddler even though there was a storm in my life at that moment I still slept, you know who and what that reminds me of..Yes my lord and saviour jesus Christ slept through a horrible storm so I was going to go the same, just sleep in this boat that was sailing.My sleeping pattern has quite improved lately ever since I got to Switzerland. My sleep pattern has been so great and wonderful that I just wondered if there was something in Chicago's air that made me stay wide awake almost all night….I continued to stare outside the window…watching the workers move up and down.I had also learnt from my mom earlier that breakfast wasn't until 9:00 am that morning.As much as that wasn't a bad time at all to eat, I was starving greatly.But I decided to pass ti
Chapter One hundred and sixty oneDesiree The walk back home was fun.On a normal day I'm always by myself trying to get home quick but with Paige around we talked all the time till we got home.“You did such a. Great work with them,I was starting to lose hope already!” Paige expressed as we walked back home.I understood exactly how she was feeling but I didn't understand why she was that invested in lacrosse.“They will be better before the game and what we are aiming for is for them to be better not competitive because of the game, they have a lot to learn but I know they will catch up real fast!” I voiced, assuring her that she had nothing to worry about.Any game whatsoever needed effort and great determination, and the mindset of a winner, a winner knows when to take a break and also when to push harder.It's a very thin line to cross.“Did you really play lacrosse in high school?” Paige asked.I knew this question was coming And I just hoped more people would see that anyone c
Chapter One hundred and sixty twoDesireeIf hate was like this I would rather not even have friends because whatttttt???My jaw literally dropped at every single messages…“Four thousand and twenty one messages of hate?” I exclaimed…“I was shocked!” Mason added from the kitchen.Apparently they hated her because she was rich or maybe her father is rich and has the best boyfriend….Suddenly I was interested in who her father is..“Wait Olive why they have a beef with your dad, who is he?”.She sniffed her nose and looked at me.“His name is Zadok..Zadok bells!”..That name somehow rings a bell!“You see her dad isn't really the problem, they. Just hate the fact that she gets to live comfortably!” Mason pointed out.Yeah I see that…They just hated her guts really…I dropped the phone and comforted her .“They were never your friends, your real friends will never snitch on you, they will never be jealous of your success and they will never ever speak bad about you!” I assured her.I h
