The moment I step onto the field, every instinct in my body tells me to turn back.

“Come on, Lila,” I whisper to myself as I stare at the boy standing near the sideline, with his helmet tucked under his arm. “You can do this.”

The majority of the players are already jogging around the field in anticipation of practice, and the bleachers are half-filled with students equally as excited.

I bite my lower lip, unsure of even having this conversation. But the more I watch Tyler, deep in conversation

    One look at Tyler, and I know something is terribly wrong.Pain, terror, hopelessness… they’re all clearly visible on his face. He looks broken, and it breaks something in me too.I barely recognize the boy hanging onto me for dear life. His eyes are red, his breathing uneven, and there’s no barrier between us anymore. For the first time since I’ve known him, I see all of him.“Tyler?” I call softly.He swallows hard before pulling away from me. Then he says words I wasn’t expecting at all. “I can’t feel my arm.”I feel my stomach drop. “What do you mean you can’t feel it?”I’d kept a close eye on him throughout the game, even though it was the last place I wanted to be. All the while, he’d played like a maniac, but I could tell something was wrong. So, I lied to my friends about going to the bathroom and followed him here as soon as I saw him slip away from his teammates.He runs a hand through his hair while the other remains limp at his side. “My arm has stopped working,” he chuckl

    TYLER’S POVBeing on the sidelines is not an option today.“Remind me again why you think this is a good idea,” Coach asks, looking across the field to the scouts eagerly waiting for the game to begin.Following his gaze, I roll my shoulder a couple of times, and it feels fine. Last I checked, too, it looked fine enough for me to do without the bothersome cast I’ve been wearing since the last incident today.“I’m good, Coach,” I say, flashing him a smile. “Besides, I’ve been playing during practice.”He makes a sound of protest at the back of his throat. “Yeah, well, that’s practice. And just because you were barely cleared for it doesn’t mean it was a green light to go all out.”“I won’t,” I say, even though we both know that’s a lie and I never do anything halfway. “Just put me in. I promise I can handle it,” I press. But he still looks skeptical, so I clap his shoulder and gently turn him in the direction of the team we’re playing today. “Do you really want to lose to St. Grace Aca

    Jake Holland is enjoying this. I can see it in the way his eyes glimmer with excitement as he watches my patience grow thinner and thinner by the minute.“Well?” I press when I can no longer stand his silence. “Are you going to talk or keep staring at me like a creep?”For some reason, he finds that funny because he giggles like a maniac. “Yeah, you are kind of ruining that boy’s future.”His words are the same generic nonsense I’ve heard from everyone else in school. So, I simply scoff and side-step him.“I’m serious,” Jake insists, blocking my path once more. “Scouts are watching him, coaches are on his back, and his dad?" He lets out a low whistle. “Judging by that look on your face, I’m assuming you’ve met him. But also knowing Tyler, he’s kept the truly horrific part about his dad’s relationship from you.” He leans even closer and whispers. “That man is ruthless when he doesn’t get what he wants.”My stomach churns. Just how much more horrible is Tyler’s father?Jake gestures va

But the more I watch Tyler, deep in conversation with Alex, the more determined I am to get it over with.Taking a deep breath, I walk straight toward him.Alex notices me first, and his eyes flicker between us before muttering something to Tyler and stepping away.Finally, Tyler turns in my direction, and his expression doesn’t change even when he sees me.Mustering enough courage, I stare him dead in the eyes. “We need to talk,” I say.He glances toward the field briefly, slight irritation on his face. “Make it quick,” he mumbles.“Don’t ta

    By the next morning, everyone knows.The picture has spread faster than wildfire, and so has the narrative people have attached to it. Whispers trail after me in the school hallways, are passed between phones, and are reshaped and sharpened until they barely resemble the truth.“She’s using the babysitting job to get to him.”“Of course, she is. Have you seen his house? I’d trap him too, if I had access.”I continue down the hallway, my grip tightening around my bag with every step that I take. Several eyes follow me, from curious to amused to downright cruel, but I do my best to ignore them.“Hey,” a girl mutters as I pass, not even bothering to lower her voice, “is that her?”“Yeah,” her friend whispers back. “The babysitter.”They whip out their phones to openly record me, and I tell myself that I shouldn’t let it get to me. After all, Tyler and I know the real truth behind that picture. But who am I kidding? It still stings.By the time I reach my locker, my chest feels tight. I

    The universe is screwing with me.At least, that was my first thought when Mrs. Danvers told me after school that the Brooks extended their trip and they’d really appreciate it if I could continue. Suddenly, what Tyler whispered to me back at the diner yesterday made sense.Of course, I said yes because I don’t have the luxury of walking away from money the way people like Tyler can. And the Brooks are my highest-paying clients.Still, walking back into their house after everything that has happened between Tyler and me feels wrong.As soon as the door clicks shut behind me, a tiny voice screams my name.“Lila!” Sophie barrels into me before I can even set my bag down.I laugh despite everything and drop slightly to catch her. “Hey.”Lucas lingers a few steps behind, but there’s a small smile on his face as he waves shyly at me.My heart seems to expand as I realize how much I’ve missed them.“I thought you weren’t coming back,” Sophie says, pulling away just enough to look at me.“Me
