《Love Returns (Blake/You) ✔️》Chapter 17

Advertisement

All it took was a week for me to fall in love with her. It took a month for us to actually get together and become official. And it only took two weeks for our relationship to end.

I honestly don't know if we're over or not? I mean all she said was for me to forget it because she doesn't want to be with someone who won't fight for her.

But here I am a month later and I haven't contacted her. Maybe I am a coward, maybe everything she said was true.

Who am I kidding, I love that girl more than anything.

I guess you could say I let her dad get to me. And I swore to myself I wouldn't let him and his words drive me away from his daughter.

But here I am, I failed myself. I failed her.

"Would you get your ass up!" I feel a pillow hit myself in the back of the head. I turn to see Cara looking at me with a frown.

"Why?"

"Because you've done nothing but mope in this house for a month."

"I fucked up Car." I say and I watch my friend run a hand through her hair.

"So what are you going to do about it?" I stare at the blonde confused until she rolls her eyes and moves towards me. She takes a seat on the chair in my room.

"You love her right?" I nod my head and my best friend looks at me like I'm stupid.

"Well go do something about it."

"She hates me, Car. You should have seen her face." I say sadly as I feel my heart clench as that day replays in my head on a loop.

"I highly doubt that girl hates you. She loves you, she's probably just really hurt."

"I have a game tonight. What am I supposed to do?"

"You have to be there in an hour right?" I nod my head and my best friend smirks as she looks at me.

"I have an idea."

"Are you sure this is going to work?"

"Yes, now get ready." Cara says as holds up my phone. She begins to count down until she gets to one and points at me to go.

"Hey everyone." I say awkwardly as I feel a small blush form on my cheeks.

"This video is for Blake." I say softly and the regret and sadness fill my eyes as I look down ashamed.

"If you're watching this, I want to tell you how sorry I am."

"I'm sorry that I didn't tell you that I don't care if your dad is right." I swallow thickly as I pick my head up and stare directly into the small camera lens on my phone.

"I don't care that I look like a bum when I stand next to you." I say with a small smile hoping it makes her smile.

"I don't care if we live in a run down apartment eating ramen noodles for the rest of our lives."

"Yo ramen noodles are bomb." Cara says, causing me to look at my friend and shake my head with a laugh.

"What I'm trying to say is, I love you Blake Ellender Lively. I love you with every breath I breathe. I've never loved anyone in my entire life the way I love you." I say whole heartedly as I stare into the camera.

"I'm always going to fight for you, even with the storms come and I can't see clearly. I'll be standing in the middle of it."

Cara clicks end on video and she quickly uploads it to my social media platforms.

"We better get you to the school. You got a game to win. And your ass better start playing better, you've been embarrassing me." She says and I push her before pulling her into a bro hug.

"Thanks Car."

"It's what best friends are for." She says and the two of us walk back towards my car.

"You think she's gonna watch it?" I ask her as we get inside my car. I begin to pull out onto the road and I look over to see my best friend smirking.

"Oh I'm sure she will." Cara says as she turns to look at me.

"You're trending everywhere right now."

"No way."

"I'm being dead serious." Cara says with a laugh as her eyes widen as she looks at all the shares, retweets, and likes I'm getting on the video.

"I hope it's enough." I say softly to myself as I head towards the school.

Since Blake and I, I've been playing like shit. I never thought a girl could affect my game, but I guess only Blake can.

"You ready?" Colton asks and I nod my head while trying to get loose.

"I think so." I say to my best friend who nods his head in understanding.

"Don't worry, I'm sure everything will turn out." Colton says and I give him a nod before heading back to the locker room to get ready.

As I'm walking towards the door a player from the opposing teams starts laughing at me.

"What?"

"The whole world is going to know what a little bitch you are because of that video. And tonight I'm going to prove to everyone how big of a pussy you are."

"Well I guess I am what I eat." The girl just gives me a disgusted look and walks into her locker room.

"Always so classy with that line." I hear Sam say as she walks through the locker room doors with me. The two of us end up laughing as we move to get ready for the big game.

Once I'm finished I pull my shooting long sleeved shirt over my head. I take a deep breath before following my team out the door. We get lined up and everything's a blur as we run on the court with our music playing.

I'm trying to focus on the game because I know I've been letting my teammates down with how I've been playing. So I stay zoned in as I warm up. The buzzer sounds and we head to the bench. I hear them announce the opposing team then our own.

Once my name is called with my credentials I get my teammates pumped up before taking the court for tip off.

I get in my usual position and I don't think I've ever been more determined. Especially when the player who I was jawing with earlier bumps into me purposely.

I glare at the girl before turning my attention back to the tip off.

But my eyes catch someone I was not expecting to see at all.

Blake.

She sits in her usual spot with all of my friends including her own. Her face is unreadable for me and I feel all the nerves come rushing back as I stare at her.

It's been a whole month since I've seen her.

I swallow the nerves away as I turn my focus back to the game. The whistle is blown and the game is in full swing.

I'm having problems knocking down my shots and my head is no longer in the game after locking eyes with her. I'm playing like shit once again and I'm starting to get pissed off at myself.

The buzzer sounds signaling the half and we head back to the locker room. I have my head down and once we're inside, coach gives us a talk. His talk is telling us to pull our heads out of our asses.

Once he leaves everyone else does too. It's just me and I stand up from the bench. I lean and rest my head against my locker before slapping it harshly with my hand.

"Y/N." I hear her voice and the way my name rolls off her tongue still gives me goosebumps.

I turn to see the blonde looking at me with an unreadable expression. She slowly walks towards me and I turn to face her completely.

"I'm so sorry." I say as my voice cracks and my emotions get the best of me. My eyes start to fill with tears but I refuse to let them fall. I did this, I'm the one who caused all of this to happen because I was scared.

Blake's eyes soften as she looks at me. A frown forms on her lips as she sighs heavily.

"I know."

"You don't though. I fucked everything up all because of my own insecurities." I clench my jaw as I pinch the bridge of my nose.

"Y/N.."

"Y/N let's go." I hear Sam yell through the door and I look at Blake sadly as I move to walk past her. Just as I pass her I feel her hand reach out and grab my arm.

It stops me in my tracks and as I turn to face her she takes a step forward and looks deeply into my eyes.

"I think we can do better than ramen noodles." She says and it takes me a minute to register what she just said. I pick my head up so fast and a breathless smile forms on her lips. The smile I've been missing so damn much.

"Y/N let's go!" I hear Sam yell again and I can't wipe the smile off my face right now.

"I love you too, now go kick some ass."

Blake places her hand on my chest and leans up into me, attaching her lips to mine in a soft kiss. When she pulls away I flutter my eyes open and I feel my heart slowly mending itself back together. I feel so much lighter and the weight on my chest has lifted.

I lean down and give her another quick kiss before running out the door and back into the gym.

I'm back, and I'm ready to turn this game around.

As we get ready for the third quarter to start my eyes meet my girls and I watch as she moves to sit with our friends who are all eagerly waiting to find out what happened.

When the buzzer sounds I get right to work. Throughout the next to quarters I manage to bring my team back into the game. And that player I had words with earlier is not too happy about it.

She's been pulling on my jersey and doing everything she can think of to try and get in my head. But nothing's working.

We're down to the last thirty seconds of the game and we're down by one. It's their ball so we have to press and try and get the ball back.

They try to inbounds the ball with a long pass but I pick it off. I maneuver through the defenders and get close to the basket with 10 seconds left on the clock.

I see the girl from earlier coming at me and I prepare myself for the hit. Just as my feet leave the ground I feel her body collide with mine hard. But the ball leaves my fingertips effortlessly and I watch it swish through the net with ease.

We won the game!

My teammates surround me as they pick me up off the floor. The ref called a foul on her but the games over with my two points giving us the lead.

We shake hands with the opposing team and head into the locker room. Coach congratulates us and dismisses us to enjoy the rest of our weekend.

I quickly get changed and leave the locker room to find my people. But mainly to find her.

As I search through the crowd with my bags I spot her talking with Megan. I push my way through as people congratulate me and once I'm finally to my girl Megan notices me and Blake turns around.

I don't even give her time to say anything as I dip my head down and cup her face with my hands as I attach my lips to hers in a breathtaking kiss.

Her hands find my sweatshirt as she holds onto it tightly. I pull away because I don't want to cause too much of a scene but I guess it's too late for that.

I can't help but smile at the girl I love as I caress her cheeks with the pads of my thumbs.

"I love you." I softly say and her smile only grows brighter at my declaration.

"I love you too baby." She softly says and I feel my heart begin to beat rapidly within my chest.

"Let's celebrate!" Dylan yells causing our group of friends to laugh at his bad timing.

"It's you and me baby." I softly say as I stare into her eyes that I've missed so much.

"Always?"

"Always."
