Fallon
“You’re moping,” Lexie accuses from where she sits across from me
on the matching loveseat. The new streaks of purple peeking out
from her dark hair catch my attention for a second longer. Just
yesterday, the underside of her hair had been an icy-blue shade.
“I’m not.” The edge of defensiveness laces my tone and has my cousin,
who happens to be my roommate, grinning—because I am. I just hate either
of us acknowledging it.
“You haven’t left the couch in two days.”
“We went shopping yesterday.”
She rolls her eyes. “The grocery store doesn’t count. You aren’t still
feeling guilty about transferring, are you?”
I bury my face in a throw pillow, unable to deny that blame has me
sulking and overthinking entirely too much.
“They’ll forgive you, Fallon.” Lexie’s voice is gentle as she confiscates
my fluffy shield, so I have to meet her blue gaze as she sits beside me.
I shake my head and release a tired sigh. A month ago I was offered
what most would consider an extraordinary opportunity, one I couldn’t
refuse: a dual scholarship for both academics and soccer to Camden
University that had me transferring just thirty miles away from Westfield
University after completing my sophomore year. My excitement to play for
one of the most esteemed coaches in the country and have a safety net to
graduate even if injury prevents me from playing was only second to my
joy at attending the same university as Lexie, who is a year older than me.
I knew my teammates at Westfield would be hurt, but I gravely
underestimated the hatred they’ve directed toward me since the news broke.
“I’m going to be playing against them,” I remind Lexie, rubbing a hand
over my forehead as guilt invades more of my thoughts.
“You worked your ass off for Westfield for two years. They’re just
jealous.” She says with so much enthusiasm, I’m inclined to believe her—
want to believe her. Maybe then my conscience would feel clearer.
“And Tobias?” I raise my eyebrows and pretend I’m not on a fishing
expedition, needing Lexie to form an entire life raft around my drowning
mood and thoughts.
Lexie shakes her head. “Tobias didn’t deserve your time then; he
certainly doesn’t deserve it now.”
I dated Tobias Davies for a year and a half before our relationship met
its slow and messy demise. He had initially tried to end things amicably,
insisting he didn’t want to get his heart broken and that I was the one girl
capable of doing so—that I was too good for him. Shocked, bewildered, and
heartbroken, I made pledges and promises to save our relationship, only for
him to change his tune and claim that the time commitment of our dating
was suffocating him.
As a starting defensive lineman for Westfield’s
football team, our schedules conflicted more often than they aligned.
Insistent and naive, I sacrificed in an attempt to patch our sinking
relationship, skipping classes and sleep to prove we could overcome our
challenging calendars, convinced he was the guy who would finish my
sentences and sandwiches.
