As expected, I got little to no sleep last night. My brain was on absolute overload with thoughts of Damon and Kai. All night I was back and forth between who I loved. Kai, the boy who spent months trying to heal my heart after my best friend shattered it. Damon, my best friend who ripped my heart from my chest but I can't shake. Three months ago I was in love with a guy who I thought would never love me back but now he does. However, three months ago I didn't know how happy I could be with Kai, but now I do.

I roll over in bed, sinking my face into my pillows. I can't think about Kai and Damon today. Today I need to focus on soccer and winning the championships once again. I can't let my team down. I let out another deep sigh before I climb out of bed. After taking a quick shower, I throw on my uniform. Thank God I didn't have to pick out an outfit today. It's our team's tradition to wear our jerseys on the day of the championship game.

Staring at myself in the mirror, I push all of my emotions aside. No more crying. Just soccer. I repeat those words as I grab my bag and head downstairs.

"Hey Elena, ready for the big game today?" My aunt questions excitedly.

"I guess so." I respond.

She looks at me with a puzzled expression.

"Are you ok Elena?" she asks worried.

"Not really Aunt Jenna. But I can't talk about it right now. I promise I will tell you everything after the game. I just really need to focus."

At first it looked like she was about to pressure me into laying it all out on the table right then, but she quickly changed her mind.

"Alright honey. But we will talk later." She says giving me a kiss on the forehead.

"Promise." I smile.

As soon as I walk through the doors at school, my team is surrounding me.

"Elena! Today is the big day!"

"Are you ready Elena?"

"Have you decided on our positioning?"

"Did you come up with any new plays we can practice at lunch?"

Questions were flying at me from all directions. Spinning in circles, I couldn't force any words from my mouth. I push myself out from the center of my team and run off down the hall. I turn the corner and quickly look around to see if anyone had followed me before I slip into an empty classroom. As soon as I am behind the closed doors I begin to breathe franticly. My lungs burn and my head is spinning. I can feel my heart pounding out of my chest. I'm on the verge of passing out when I feel someone wrap their arms around me.

"You're going to be ok Elena." He says calmly.

"Just breathe baby breathe."

My breathing begins to steady and my heart beat slows down. I'm now kneeling on the floor, still wrapped in his embrace. I feel my eyes start to water and forcefully shut them. No more crying. Just soccer.

"Kai." I choke out.

"It's ok Elena. You're alright now." He says while rubbing my back.

I shake in his arms, still feeling on edge.

"They… they kept asking me questions that I.. I… I didn't have the answers to. I couldn't breathe." I barely manage to get out.

"You had a panic attack Elena."

I sit in silence, still shaking, still feeling like my world was shattering around me.

"That was the scariest thing I have ever been through." I sniff.

"You've got a lot going on right now. I'm sure what happened last night wasn't helpful either." He says, turning me to face him.

My stomach sinks at the mention of last night. I start to stand up, pulling myself from his arms. He tries to get closer once again, but I take a step back.

"Elena." He sighs. "You have to know how sorry I am about last night."

It's true. I do know, but that doesn't change what happened.

"Kai I really can't talk about this right now." I plead.

He stares at me with a mix of emotions displayed on his face. I turn around to head out of the classroom.

"I love you." He voices.

I turn back to him, "I know."

I head to history, praying that no one would try to talk to me. Thankfully, my team was nowhere to be found. As always, my mind is far from history class. I sit in class feeling terrible because I now know who I want. Once I felt his arms around me, all I wanted was for them to be Damon's.

I take a deep breath before heading into the locker room. As soon as the door opens, my team falls silent. Everyone watches me as I head to the center of the room. I clear my throat before starting my speech.

"Alright everyone. Today is the day…. Today is the day we win the championships for the fourth year in a row."

My team's eyes are all focused on me, waiting for me to continue.

"I'm sorry about what happened in the hall earlier today. I was having a really rough morning."

I really can't get into a long talk about Kai and Damon.

"But now I'm ready. And I sure hope you are all ready to kick some ass out there tonight!"

Everyone starts to smile, breaking the tension in the room. I think I avoided any further questions till after the game. Thank goodness.

"Now come on everybody! Let's go show the other team why we have been number one for the past three years!"

They erupt in cheers and stand up, grouping into a huddle.

"Hands in team!"

"Team on three!"

"ONE, TWO, THREE, TEAM!" We shout in unison.

We exit the locker room to the shouts of almost the entire student body. They may never come to our other games, but they know the championships is a big deal.

My eyes scan the crowd, immediately finding Damon with his signature grin planted on his face. Giving me a quick wink, he cheers with the rest of the crowd. Sitting three rows away from him, Kai wears a t-shirt with my number on the front. A pang of guilt shoots through me. Shit. Stop thinking about them. You need to focus.

I'm pulled from my own little world by the ref's blaring whistle.

"Captains to the center line!" He yells.

I take one last look at my team before heading to the center of the field. They nod at me, giving me a boost of confidence. Before I know it, I am face to face with Katherine. Her smug smile sends waves of anger through my body. Her eyes are black and cold. Her body language appears confident. She thinks she is finally going to beat me today. Not if I have anything to say about it.

"Captains, shake hands."

I take off my goalie glove and shiver when our hands touch. Her grip tightens around mine, causing discomfort but I don't flinch. Our eyes hold.

"Alright ladies, let's keep it clean out there. Away team calls the toss."

After giving us the whole "ref speech" he tosses a coin into the air with the flick of his thumb.

"Heads." The word drips from Katherine's mouth like poison.

"Heads it is." He states as the coin falls to rest on the grass, displaying Abraham Lincoln.

"We'll stay as we are." Katherine declares.

He sends a hand signal to the announcers booth.

"Good luck out there ladies." He says before turning to rejoin the two other refs.

As I am about to turn around, Katherine grabs my hand.

"Just so you know, after I beat you today, Damon is going to come crawling back to me. You think he really likes you? Please. You are just the friend that will never be anything more."

She releases my hand forcefully and turns around. My anger begins to boil. Containing my rage, I head back to my team.

"Let's do this ladies." With a nod of our heads, we take our positions.
