CHANCES (L.T.)

~~~THIRTY THREE~~~

The kid fell down but did not get back up instead he stayed down clutching his knee. I winced at that knee injuries in football are never alright. 

The ref blew the whistle and green carded the the player. The number 11 was escorted off the field .

Soon the half time whistle was blown. That is when I really processed the new information. He played football. Why did he never tell me? It hurt me to know that he did not want to tell me.

Austin's pov.

That guy is a bloody ass this is the 3rd time he banged into Ethan. The ref did not yellow card him then but this time he did.

Ethan ' s knee was really bad it was already swollen and was turning blue black.

It was half time now. Coach told us to huddle together for the new play.  The match was intense it still nill all. And we had only another half left.

Coach told the new play I was shifted to center mid because Ethan couldn't play. You could tell coach was really concerned about Ethan but he did not show it.

The second half started. It was like they would make a pass and we would intercept it and we would make a pass and they would intercept it. This match literally not going anywhere.

Soon the whistle blew the game was over and the winner would be decided through penalties. Penalties were never my strength.

We had a break for 5 minutes so coach would tell us the order. When we huddled together I saw a guy was watching me. He was wearing a grey jacket with the hood over his head with black jeans. I looked more carefully then I realized who it was. It was him.

Louis was here. I froze how did he come here?

I felt guilt take over me. I could tell he knew I was there but he did not move a step either.

"Austin are you listening? " Coach asked

I turned at coach with a guilty look. "You are going last okay?"

I blinked twice was he serious?  The last and first shot is very important. Why would he put me in the last why not Jace or Reece? 

While the I was freaking out because I had to take the last shot and the fact that louis some how got here. The whistle blew indicating all the players had to come to the field. 

We all went over to the field in our order.

I felt Louis's eyes on me the whole walk.

》》》》》》

It was a tie so far. The last player for the Jefferson high stepped up to take his shot. 

I prayed to every god that he would miss. And the did Jason our keeper caught the ball.

Now it was my turn if I made this shot we win the tournament or else it will go to another round of penalties. 

I took a deep breath I looked back and sure enough I saw Louis there. I felt like everyone was going to kill me if I did not make this shot. A part of me felt that louis would also feel disappointed in me if I did miss this shot.

Louis's pov.

It was a tie and now it was Austin's chance to shoot. He was making the final shot for the team. I could tell the whole pressure was in him. His shot was a make or break thing.  He stepped up to the ball.

He turned around and saw me. I could see the nervousness in him. And trust me being nervous before taking a shot was going to mess everything up.

Austin's pov.

It was at that moment louis took his hoodie off his head. He just looked at and gave me a small smile. That smile said a lot of stuff. I could tell he did he was not mad at me for not telling him I had a match or played football and the fact that he did not care about the outcome of this shot.

I took another deep breath. I looked at the goal trying to think about where I could shoot it at.

I took a couple of steps away from the ball then made my shot with the intention of curving the ball. I kept my eyes shut not wanting to see if it made it in or not. But the whistle blew and I felt my whole team jump on me. I knew that I made the shot. I felt a smile creep into my face.

Through everyone jumping of me I saw Louis there he just stood there with a  huge smile on his face. That was the first time I had seen him smile like that. Every other time I know I always made him feel hurt because of some shit I did but this time he smiled a genuine smile  for the Shit I did .
