Dylan

Me and Cecilia have been keeping apart. We'll sit down to dinner together, she'll take me to school and back but that was it.. none of our usual banter, none of us hanging out, nothing. As if were strangers living together.

We have a game tonight against another school, I focus on that to forget my loneliness. Except Cecilia is a cheerleader, she'll be on the sideline cheering. Fuck.

"You okay Dyl?" Adam asks.

"I'm fine" I give him a fake smile then sprint on ahead, we are practising and coach is making us do laps.

When I'm angry I run faster. And I am angry, angry that when I kissed her it changed everything.

It's been just a few days and I miss her. When I kissed her I wanted more, I wanted her. She's wasn't one of them girls that you like and go out with, she's one of them girls that you fall in love with.

Except I'm already in love, can you love two people? Maddy's been there most of my life and I've only known Cecilia for a few months, yet I'm falling faster for Cecilia then I ever did for Maddy.

I was a mess and now I'm a complicated mess.

When I got here I wasn't looking forward to it; I was depressed; I saw no light for me and then Cecilia came into view and changed my life, she made me happy, enjoy life.

And now I'm back to where I started.

I collapse to my knees and hands, gasping for air. Flashes ran past my eyes; Cecilia blocked these out, she blocked my past out, she blocked the pain out. How was that possible? I never thought it could be.

"Dlyan, you okay mate?" Adam slaps his hand on my back.

"Fine" I push myself up into a standing position.

"Pratice is over"

"Yeah" I walk back with Adam seeing the team give me weird looks, I ignore them.

I head towards the parking lot where Carlos said he'll pick me up being as Cecilia is AWOL. I told Carlos she is at Chelsea's place, I think he believe me. I hoped I seemed convincing seen as I had no idea where she was, she didnt even turn up for school today but Frankie told me not to worry.

"Hey Dylan" Coach stops me.

I turn back around seeing Carlos get out of his car.

"Are you sure your okay? If your not up to it I can put in a replacement"

"No I'm fine"

"Is there a problem?" Carlos asked standing beside me.

"No there isn't" I said but Coach still wanted to talk to him. Fuck.

I got into the car to wait for them to finish the conversation about me.

Carlos was only a moment. "Dylan Coach is concerned" He says as he pulls out. "You can miss this one game"

"I dont want to"

He glance's at me before returning to the road.

"It might be best to just miss just this one game"

"Please let me do it" I plead. "I really want to"

Carlos sighs. "Okay"

"Thankyou"

"So whats happening with you and Cecilia?"

"Nothing, why?"

"You two were always together and now your not"

I shrug. "Everythings fine"

When we finally got home I went up stairs to my room to avoid any more questioning until I got called down for dinner. I wasnt hungry, but I knew if I didn't eat Carlos would not let me go to the game.

Frankie came to pick me up, all the way over there he talked about his new girlfriend that he met at the swimming pool. Getting Frankie to shut up about himself is eternally impossible so I was glad to be finally there when he did get there which considering how slow a driver Frankie is...

I search through the cheerleaders at the field looking for Cecilia and there she was, right at the front of the group laughing. I let out a small smile then followed the rest of the team.
