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
Chapter One hundred and sixty threeKillian.Well breakfast was great you know what else is Great is the fact the suspense that was building up inside of me was starting to overwhelm me already.My dad sat at the head table as we are and my mum noticed every single body language I was giving off.What was wrong??I wanted to know what my father knew so badly.I Just know he knew something.“What do you think dad knows?” I asked Raph who for some reason was so composed.“I seriously do not know I'm as confused as you are, besides I need to know why all these people are here!” Raph pointed out exactly what I was feeling.If there was a way I could talk to my mom there and right there immediately I was going to do so.The main problem here was why were there so many people, just this Morning new set of visitors arrived….That's exactly my problem…Why are they so many , and what were they here for????“Or wait do you think dad's in a cult??” I asked Raph and he stopped admist eating .He
Chapter One hundred and sixty fourKillian..There was no way I was seeing my stalker here in France, could she have tracked me all the way or what.But the way they both entered was sort of suspicious. Our eyes met and I could see a very suspicious smirk on her face Typical Velvet!!!She knew how tormented I w as with her around almost all the time, always watching.my back like she was some vigilante or something .Uhhhhh I had so much peace having coming to France without her scoring and now she was here…How!!!!????I need just a Moment of peace, please!!!Liam on the other hand had grown so much and so handsome.but I was waiting for my dad to make the formal introduction.“Dont be too forward Killian!* But before my words could settle in me Raph was up and pulled Liam into a brotherly hug.MAybe I was too slow..I stood up and joined in the hug.Memories began to flood my mind as I remembered how we spent time together on the lacrosse team The times where we always had our gro
