Nine

After Luke and I said goodnight I fell on to my bed hoping I wouldn't be wrong for giving Luke a second chance.

Knowing I had practice early tomorrow I decided to call it an early night.

Waking up the next morning I had several texts from Jess and my mom, both asking about how my date went over. Without going into detail I just texted back that it was better than the last date I had. Throwing on my Nike pro spandex, a sports bra, and one of my UCLA bows I grabbed my cheer shoes and left the room before Ashley woke up. Making my walk over to the gym for practice I was looking forward to today to clear my head of everything that's happened since I got here.

When I did get to the gym, I saw most of my teammates and walked over considering I still had some time before practice actually started. As I started walking over Niki was calling me over.

"Hey I haven't seen you in a while how are you and Luke? Ashton told me he kind of had a thing for you."

"Uh well we were supposed to go on a date last night but he kind of stood me up, but it was because the guys at the frat were making fun of him for being whipped and wouldn't let him leave or something, I don't know he saw me walking back to my dorm and explained it all to me and I think we're okay" this being the first time saying out loud everything that happened didn't make things sound any better than what they were.

"Oh. Wow. That's pretty intense" She said laughing

"Yeah you can say that again"

One of our teams captains got everyone together and told us we would have to be sharing the gym with the football team due to the incoming storms that were forecasted for the weather. Niki elbowed my side knowing that while were working out today we would both get to watch Luke and Ashton work out as well.

Practice started with normal stunts for game days. Being on co-ed and getting thrown up by guys all day was pretty fun. Although scary because losing focus in a stunt wouldn't end well no matter how strong the person underneath you is. After normal game day stunts and pyramids we then moved on to working on more difficult stunts with more flare to them that we hadn't started to do at games yet.

Right before I was about to get thrown up I noticed that the football team was on break. After twisting up into the lib stunt, Jake, who was basing underneath me was calling out counts so I was in time with how long I was supposed to be up there and eventually full down. On one of the last eight counts I spotted Ashton first, and then Luke close to him.

This had to be some sick joke. Luke was again flirting with some girl. And not just normal conversation, he had his arm around her and her hands were all over his arm muscles. I was going to be sick if I saw anymore. Maybe everything he said last night was all just some lie.

Not even realizing what count Jake was on I could feel him starting to let go off my feet I snapped back into what I had to do. Being the second I was off timing I new this wouldn't end well. Trying to whip the full as fast as possible Jake barley caught me before I hit the ground. A few people gasped and most stared.

"Aly what the hell are you okay??" Jake said almost screaming

"I'm fine, I'm fine I just was a little off sorry I freaked you out" I said sheepishly

"Oh my God I thought you were going to die" he says sighing in relief, "What even happened up there, your like the best flyer how did you even fall like that?"

"I uh, I don't know I guess I just blanked out for a second" I frowned knowing the exact reason why I almost just fell to my death, "but thanks for catching me! That was a close one" I tried to joke.

Niki grabbed my arm and called out that she was going to take me to the trainer just to make sure my head was okay and that my 'zoning out' wasn't anything serious.

Once we got into the trainer room Niki started talking, "I saw" She said frowning a little.

"Saw what?" I was confused for a second but then caught on, "oh. yeah. Well I guess me and him aren't okay after all." I sighed.

"You know what you need to do?" She said smirking.

"What?"

"You need to make him jealous" She said with this menacing look on her face, "You almost just got seriously hurt out there and he was too busy with some nobody girl! You need to show him that you've got more than just him coming after you and he better get his shit together"

"That's actually a great plan but there's just one small problem, uh no one else is after me" my hopes deflating with reality.

"Oh my gosh open your eyes he's not the only one going after you." She said playfully rolling her eyes. Right before I was about to open my mouth to tell her she was beyond wrong someone walked into the room and both our heads turned.

"Hey uh I saw your fall when I was on the track upstairs, I just wanted to make sure you're all right" The someone turned out to be Brendon from the other night.

Shocked I almost couldn't form words that it turns out he went here too.

"Well if you wouldn't mind keeping an eye on her I'm going to get back to practice and I'll tell coach that you're okay and just icing it off for the rest of practice" Niki winked at me on her way out.

"Uh sorry I didn't know you went here, but yes I'm okay, thanks for checking I hope that fall didn't look too bad, ugh that'd be embarrassing" I said starting to ramble.

"No, no you're fine" Brendon said smiling. We continued this small talk and right around the time my practice would be ending the football players started to walk by. Being too wrapped up in mine and Brendon's conversation about Radiohead and it being such an underrated band Luke and Ashton walked into the room. I glanced over and saw Luke's gaze turn to anger when he saw who I was talking with and then he started to walk over.

"Aly. Who are you talking to?" He voice was harsh.

"Well Luke, I'm talking to Brendon. He was the waiter last night when you stood me up." I replied not even batting an eye at him. I started to turn my head before I looked back at him, "Who were you talking to on your break from practice Luke?" Now it was my turn to give him a cold gaze.

"Nobody." he mumbled.

"Whatever, me and Brendon were just leaving" Grabbing my bag of ice and silently telling Brendon to start walking out.

"Wait Aly, can you please just talk to me alone for a second." He said, his eyes looking actually sorry.

"I'll just wait out here Aly" Brendon said as he was on his way out, leaving me to talk with Luke.

"What." I said coldly, hoping to get out of here fast.

"I don't like you talking to that guy, you're mine" he said. I was shocked out of all the things that could have possibly came out of his mouth it was that. It wasn't even a lame excuse as to why he was flirting with that other girl and practically let her grope his arms. Now I was really angry.

"Wow out of all the things you could say, that's what you're focused on?" He was about to speak but I cut him off, "You weren't going to start with how sorry you were that you were flirting with some other girl and I saw you and that basically fell to my death at practice because of it?" his face was a mix between shock, anger, and sadness.

"Aly that girl is nothing" he said like it was so casual.

"No Luke its not. If I'm apparently 'yours' then you have to be mine. Make up your mind, I'm not going to wait forever." and with that I left.
