A/N: Sooo...I'm back! Yeah...So I might have ditched you all for a while but I've been busy with school. Exams, homework doubling and all. I'll try to update as much as I can. Maybe a little more often. I would also like to say that this chapter changes POV's because it was at first way to short but now it's better.

'Thoughts are in italics'

Seb's POV

Sebastian was surprised when Rachel had showed up. He knew she promised but after what he said, he didn't think she would come anymore. What had surprised him more was when she said that she was going to break up with gigantic and that she trust him.
It was one thing for her to break up with the ass but a whole other for her to say she trusted him. It hit him hard when she said that, that maybe this friendship could potentially turn into something more even if he doubted it.
He didn't want her to trust him. He didn't even trust himself. It was common sense that one of them would get hurt. It was the reason he never got close. And he had the feeling it was going to be him to hurt her.
It was either he was going to run if something serious was happening or something worse.
Yet, there was a part of him, deep down, that feared it would be her to hurt him. That he would get to attached, or something that would scare him.
After what happened to his mother and how his father was he couldn't stand to be alone again. If she- if Rachel was in his life now, she couldn't just leave him. They passed the point of just acquaintances when they told each other their life stories. As much as he hated the word, they were friends now. Something he hadn't remembered having.
With friendship came a lot of responsibilities, the biggest one, did he trust her?
It had plagued his mind since she said that she trust in him.
The thing with Sebastian was he didn't trust anyone. He didn't trust his father, his step-mother, the warblers, Nick, Jeff, Trent, Thad- the bottom line is he didn't trust people.
But Rachel was more than people or anyone. She was Rachel Barbra Berry, his friend that he told his biggest secret to, the one he admitted to the feelings he had hidden for so long. He trusted her with it.
He trusted her.
Even if he was going to get hurt he trusted her. Smiling, an actual real smile, he far his team a prep talk before they all got into place.
"Go Sebastian!" He heard his name being called from the stands. Glancing over, he saw Rachel standing with her hands cupped over her mouth.
This was the first time he had someone on the stands cheering for him. The first time someone came out to support him. He couldn't lose now. He wasn't just winning for himself, he was winning for her. The loud mouth girl sitting in the stands, annoying others.
'This one's for her.'Sebastian thought as he swiftly caught the ball and scored.

Rachel's POV

He was flawless. Sebastian was flawless. She would never admit it to him because his ego didn't needed to get boosted anymore- but truly he was.
It was amazing watching him play. She could tell he put his heart, drive and emotion into it. It was showing on the field. The way he played with her last week most have been very easy for him- simple- if he was making it look as if it was nothing now. What he taught her was little- almost nothing- compared to what he knew.
It was countless score after score mainly be him. The other team managed to snag a few goals but they were being shown up by Sebastian. There was a reason why he was captain and she just figured out why.
His moves were almost graceful as his body spun and avoided the person coming at him. It would be insane if he wasn't offered a scholarship for this.
Turning her head away from the game for a second she turned to see the men Sebastian pointed out, that would be critiquing him and seeing if this was it for him.
All of them seemed to be watching him and nodding, writing stuff down. One was talking on the phone talking about #3 from Dalton. That was Sebastian's number.
Hearing a horn, Rachel looked over to see the players on the field walking off and taking a break. It must be half-time. They had that in lacrosse right?
Shaking it off, Rachel got up when she saw Sebastian walking towards her, water bottle in hand and helmet still on.
"Hellp meh get dis off." Sebastian said as Rachel realized his mouth guard was still in.
Rachel unlocked the sides and pulled it from him as he put his mouth guard in a case. She watched as Sebastian splashed some water on his face before drinking the rest.
"I can't stay long, I have to go to the change room soon and prep the team and stuff." Sebastian breathed heavily.
"Then why did you come?"
"I wanted to see you." Sebastian admitted and it brought an awkward silence between them.
"I mean being you're coach and all I wanted to make sure you knew how amazing I was." He covered up smoothly.
"Ohh." She said sounding sadly disappointed. "Well I heard some of those guys talking about you. Well most of them were watching you and there was one guy on the phone talking about #3 from Dalton." Rachel said as she pointed to his jersey.
"The guy in the brown suit, the one that's kind of bald at the top?" Sebastian asked as he gestured his head in his direction.
Rachel turned her head a bit and looked, "Yeah, that's him."
Sebastian's eyes widened, practically bulging out of his head.
"He is Gregory Cult. He's the talent manager for NYU. I don't understand what he is doing in Ohio. He searches for talented athletes. He is one of the best for lacrosse."
Rachel looked at his awed expression.
"Well he was talking about you."
"He couldn't have been. He searches for talent in not talented in-"
"-You are talented Sebastian. You're amazing in lacrosse and he was looking at you because he knows it. He knows that if he doesn't take you one of these other men will. You going to be offered something. At least from one of them. You're really talented, I should know, I'm talented too." Rachel said as he looked at her.
"Thanks." Sebastian said in a sarcastic tone hearing her comment about how talented she is.
"Sebastian!"
"Smythe!"
"Cap!"
Rachel saw his eyes flash between her and the group of guys calling him. He gave her an apologetic look as he shrugged.
"Go! You have to win! Go show the other team whose the boss." She said with a light smack on the arm.
"Sorry." Sebastian said as he leaned down, gave her a quick kiss on the cheek before jogging off to his teammates.
Rachel ignored the little fluttering in her chest, and the way her heart wished he would do it again. Instead she sat down and eavesdropped on some certain people.

Rachel had overheard that two of the men sitting in the stands were considering to make an offer to Sebastian. Rachel smiled at the thought of being right. Their focus was Sebastian but she could hear them talking about #21 Jeff Sterling, #9 Thad Harwood, and #17 Nick Duval.
Looking away, Rachel watched as the teams began to assemble back in the field. It was obvious that Dalton was winning but there was a slight chance that the other team could win if the guy that was after Sebastian wouldn't back off. Although she doubt he is anything against Sebastian especially seeing him trip when Sebastian made a quick turn.
The game was almost over. It was Dalton 23 and other school 7. There was no way the other school could win with only 2 minutes left. Then she saw it.
The guy after Sebastian tripped him and pushed him to the ground. Rachel's heart was racing in her chest as she saw Sebastian fall to the ground and land on his ankle. The game briefly paused.
Glancing back those men that were talking about him, began to shake their heads.
"Fuck!" Her head whipped back to where Sebastian lay on the ground. She began to get up from her seat when she saw Sebastian's teammates help him up. He seemed to be able to stand on his own but there was blood coming from his mouth. Had his mouth guard come out?
There was a five-minute break as Sebastian's teammates came to check up on him. Rachel began to walk up towards them as she watched Sebastian rinse his mouth out with water.
"Smythe you're benched the rest of this game." An older looking man said to him.
"Coach you can't do this-"
"Don't back talk me son! You're hurt and we're already winning thanks to you. We need you to sit down and relax. The victory game is in a two weeks and we need you then. We don't need you to be bed ridden!" The coach yelled back at him.
"You don't understand. I need to be out there! I'm not some smug little arrogant guy think that he can get away with this. You know it coach. I can still play the victory game in two weeks and do amazing. My foot is fine. So couch let me play!" Sebastian demanded and Rachel was surprised with all the guys on his team agreed with him.
"Fine Smythe you're in but don't go telling me that your ankle hurts next week." His coach said as Sebastian high-fived some of his teammates.
Rachel sat back on the stands and watched as the last 2 minutes progressed. Sebastian had managed to snag the ball from the guy who tripped him. It was the last few seconds and he scored.
She got up from the stands and cheered for him as he did so, pleased that the game was over. Rachel watched as he gave him teammates high-fives and was practically bouncing with every step. She watched as he began to jog to her and found herself running to him.
It was like one of those scenes you see in movies at the end of a big game. She jumped into his arms, her arms wrapping around his neck, his wrapping around her waist, as he caught her and spun her.
"Congratulations on the win!" Rachel squealed as he put her down.
"Thanks it's not like I don't always win." Sebastian replied rolling his eyes at hers, still smiling.
Rachel finally got a look at him. He was sweaty and breathing through his mouth a bit, trying to calm his breathing. His clothes were clinging to him as his hands still held on to her sides. Her own hand seemed to be on his shoulders moving down to his chest, to slap it for the way he said that.
"I'm also guessing you don't always trip by accident either." Rachel said teasing him.
"It wasn't an accident that guy tripped me-"
"-I know. I saw." Rachel said as Sebastian seemed to calm down a bit.
He could see his eyes dart to the left and Rachel glanced over to see some of those men coming. He looked down at her with apologetic eyes, tilting his head.
"It's okay. I'm just happy you won and you're ankle seems fine. I'll meet you in your dorm." Rachel said as she leaned up and gave him a quick hug, whispering how proud she was before waving goodbye and walking off.
Looking back she saw as the men approached Sebastian and began to congratulate him for the win.

The duo didn't notice as some person from the other team holding a phone out and recording everything they had talked about before sending it to someone.
