Chapter 24: Black Wing Vs Red Vipers (Loki)

(Loki)

I ran my hands through my hair, exhaling nervously as I scanning the crowded bleachers for what felt like the hundredth time, but of course, Scarlett was nowhere to be seen. Where the fuck was she? Was she even going to show up? I had left the note on top of her phone; there was no way in hell she hadn’t seen it. Maybe I had been wrong to assume Scarlett felt anything for me. Did she only want me for my body? It wouldn’t be the first time that had happened. No, Scarlett wasn’t like that, I dismissed. She knew me....maybe that was the problem. She had witnessed too much and couldn’t accept me for thought was. The idea made me feel hollow. I hadn’t wanted to play today, not with my sister in the hospital. Even if it meant giving up my future in football. Music was my absolute passion away. Maybe I should just quit. I exhaled another shaky breath, my jaw clenched.
