The night of Ollie's game and we're hyped up.

Greta was able to snag some old football jersey from our senior guy friends who already graduated and was from the soccer team before they did and Greta being Greta forced me into wearing it with her to share the "spirit."

I turned around and glanced at myself one more time on my body length mirror, The jersey I was wearing had the owner's last name on it and I felt awkward wearing it since it was too big, almost like a dress.

Before I knew it Greta was already dragging me out of the room and into an Uber.

"Are you excited to see Ollie in the game?" She asks.

I nodded with a smile on my face, "Of course!" We arrived at the soccer field a couple minutes early, there were hotdog and popcorn vendors but Greta and I just ate before getting here so we decided on sharing a large soda instead.

"They didn't have a Sprite so I got us a Coke instead." She handed me the drink.

"I don't mind." I smiled back at her.

After a couple more minutes of waiting the cheerleading squad made their entry and danced to a few songs, then the school band started to play the school anthem and after that the game started.

My eyes were only focused to one person, Ollie. He was wearing the number 8 jersey as usual and he looked very happy. The crowd was cheering wild as soon as the whole school team entered the field. My heart was beating so fast the whole game, I was cheering was Ollie with all my heart, I wonder if he can hear me? Can he hear me call out his name and cheer for him?

I wish he would look my way even just once.

The game went by so fast and everything was done in an hour and a half. Ollie's team won of course!

"Do you want to go home?" Greta asked as she tightens the muffler around her neck, "It's getting kind of cold."

"Hmm, didn't Ollie say that we need to meet him after the game?" I asked.

"Oh yeah, I almost forgot." She laughs.

"If you want you can go back to the car  first and I'll go call him, you looked so cold."

"Thank God! I will wait for you in the car, my ass if frozen as fuck." She hurries off and made a run for it towards the parking lot.

There's still a lot of people even if the game is already over, they're either waiting for someone or picking up some of the cheer leaders.

I slowly made my way down from the bleachers and walked on the field, I knew where the lockers were I've been there before so I carefully made my way towards it. I passed by some of Ollie's team mates, they were already wearing a different set of jersey or just normal casual clothes. They knew me by face, as 'the girl who is always with Ollie.' I smiled at them and they smiled back.

I was on my way to the lockers when I heard some whispering and giggling. I stopped dead on my tracks when I noticed that it's a familiar voice.

"Ollie, stop! someone might see!" Felicity giggled, her arms on Oliver's neck, asking him to stop kissing her but she looked like she loved the attention he was giving.

My heart was beating too fast and that feeling was familiar.

"I don't care if someone see, let them be jealous for all I care." He smiled at her while placing strands of her hair to the back of her ear.

"You're my girlfriend after all." That was enough for me.

Before my brain can even process what's going on, I was running towards the bathroom near the exit. I didn't even notice or care to check if someone was in the other cubicles I just went into one and coughed up the flowers that was inside of me.

I coughed and cried and my heart hurts with my throat burning. This sucks, I want to go home. I didn't need to see or hear that. I know he liked her but I didn't want to know that. I'm in denial, for how can I not be? I grew up with him and I also love him. I was hyperventilating and I don't know what else to do, my pain medicine was in my bag in the car and I just can't take this pain anymore.

"Mona?" It was Greta.

"Greta, I'm over here." I exclaimed in between coughs, I tried to unlock the stall door.

"Oh my god, what happened?" She rubbed my back and tried to pull my hair back into a pony tail. I shook my head, I can barely breathe let alone speak as I cough up everything that's inside me.

I couldn't possibly tell her I saw Oliver with Felicity and it triggered me to become like this, she would blew her top off.

"Phone. Back pocket." I said, referring her to grab my phone from my jean's back pocket, and she did.

Before I knew what I was doing I dialed Elijah's number and the last thing I heard was Greta screaming my name.
