Hey y'all! Well, I'm glad you liked it! I'm kinda sad though, only TWO reviewers? Well, I guess it's only expected. I mean, I haven't updated in FOREVER. I just can't believe I went from 160 hits to…15! I mean, yeah, the chapters only been up for a day, but still! Wow! Anyway, on to my FAITHFUL reviewers!

Aubrina: Oh, I'm glad I found the inspiration too! I'm glad you thought it was great! I mean, I had 6,000 something words in it. Lol!

Mizz-Whizz49: I'm SO happy you loved it! I was hoping everyone that read it would. I still can't believe I only got two reviews. Oh well! I'll live!

A/N: Sharon is Coach Gaines' wife's name. Just so ya know for later in the chapter.


No POV

"So…what was that again?"

Regina was once again, tutoring Mike. And Mike (once again) wasn't getting it.

"Ugh! Mike! This is the fifth time I've had to explain it! Please, listen to me!"

"Well, I'm sorry Regina, but it's not like I don't have other things to think about!"

Regina sharply stood from her seat,

"You can't keep using your mother as an excuse!"

Mike just gave her a shocked look.

"I don't just use my Mother as an excuse Reg," he calmly said, "I have more than just that. And then I have you that won't tell me why you've been so irritable for the past two weeks! You don't even talk to me at school anymore. So what is it! I'm sick of you dancing around the question! What is wrong?"

Regina looked away from Mike's face and stared at the floor, quietly she whispered,

"You wouldn't understand."

Mike just looked away from her, at the window. It was, a cool, cloudy Thursday, a day where the clouds teased you about the rain. The rain would be a light mist, and then stop, and start again.

"Well, if you can't tell me, then maybe you should go."

Regina paused for a second, looked up, but not at Mike, and quickly started packing her things.

Mike just kept his eyes at the window. And didn't movie until he flinched when Reggie slammed the door as hard as she possibly could.

He just sighed and closed his eyes, resting his elbows on the table with his face in his hands.

Things had gotten worse over the past two weeks. It was always the same, Mike would zone out while Regina was trying to teach him math, Regina would get irritated, Mike said things were on his mind, and then it all blew up into a fight.

He just wished he could figure out what was wrong with her.

She didn't know what was wrong with her. Maybe it was guilt. But she knew can't keep taking it out on Mike.

But as she walked home in the cold, with the light rain, she only became more irritated with Mike Winchell.

'He couldn't even offer me a ride home,' she thought, 'that jerk.'

Little did she know, parts of her life were going to fall apart.

Regina's POV

Once again, I wanted someone to talk to. But I wasn't going to bug Boobie this time. He's probably fed up with me and my problems. Or, well, giving me advice anyway. Besides, I already knew what he was going to tell me, "You'll figure it out Blondie. You always do."

I just wanted someone to tell me what to do. And, why was I making such a big deal out of this anyway? I'm with Mike, Chavo said he loved me, I told him I didn't love him back. And…that's that.

So why is it bugging me SO much?

I didn't like Chavo…did I?

Mike's POV

The next night was a Friday night, another Friday, another game.

As I walked out onto the field I ignored the bright lights and looked for Regina in the stands. Sharon, Jessica and her always sat right behind the Permian bench.

But tonight only Sharon and Jessica were there. Where was Reggie?

"She's at home Mike."

I looked over at coach. He must've noticed me looking for her.

"Just keep your head in the game. Don't think about Reg, just keep your mind on the game," he told me.

After the game, I walked to coach's office.

As I opened the door he looked up from the plays he was editing.

No POV

Coach Gaines paused and looked at Mike, knowing what he was going to ask.

"Can I help you Mike?"

Mike looked around the room, then back at Coach.

"Why, exactly did Reg stay home from the game? She sick?"

Gaines sighed, "No, Mike, she isn't. She just didn't want to come tonight, that's all."

There was a stuffy silence that filled the room. One that needed to be broken,and Gaines did.

"You can go see her if ya like. Sharon and I are taking Jess to her friend's house for a sleepover and then we're going out for a while."

"Thank you sir…I think I'll do that."

Mike turned to leave the room, it seemed like he was spending quite a lot of time in there lately. Just as he opened the door to leave, Gaines called him back.

"Mike!"

He looked at him,

"Find out what's wrong with her."

Mike just kept a straight face and answered,

"I will sir."

And at that moment, Gaines decided Mike really did care about her. He knew Mike wanted to know what was wrong with Regina.

Everybody did.

Regina's POV

I was curled up in a blanket and watching TV when I saw headlights shining through the window on the opposite wall.

I twirled around in my seat to see if it was Mom and Dad coming home, changing their minds on going out.

No such luck, I couldn't see ANYTHING.

Then there was a knock at the door.

I walked over and switched on the porch light and looked out the glass on our door only to see Mike.

"What are you doing here?"

It seemed like I asked that question a lot in the pasttwo weeks.

"I need to know what's wrong with you. Everybody's worried. You got your Father asking me to find out what's wrong with you! You need to tell me! I can't take it much longer! Are you not happy with me Reggie? Is it me?"

I looked to my right, Mike didn't get it. I couldn't tell him what Chavo said, it might damage the team.

"Mike, it's not you. I'm happy with you."

And then I saw him get distraught. I knew he was sick of my answers.

"Regina! Come on! You're hurting yourself and the people around you, me especially."

"Mike! I'm sorry! You wouldn't get it! I'm even too confused about it!"

"Well then let me help you! I want to help you but you're just pushing me away!"

"Fine!...Fine! You want the truth?"

Mike looked slightly surprised.

"Chavo told me something that really, REALLY scared me, alright!"

Mike noticed the tears brimming in my eyes. And I noticed something flicker across his.

"What'd he say to you Reggie?"

I took a big breath. This was it. I was going to tell my BOYFRIEND something another guy said to me. Something HE hasn't even said to me yet.

"Chavo told me he loved me."


MUAHAHAHAHA! Is that a cliffy? I dunno. Whenever I try for a cliffy, it never works people just say, "well…it kinda is…not really."

Anyway, I know this chapter might seem A LOT like the last. It may seem like you're reading the same thing over, but in order to get to the good stuff, we need the, as I like to call them, "twin chapters." In other words, my chapters 10 and 11.

Also, I'm sorry for not including the games, but we've seen them all, we know what happens. And I know I didn't say WHAT game it was, but I don't want to go fishing on the DVD.

R&R! And I better get more than two! Lol, jk! REVIEW!
