Someone screams my full name at the middle of a stride and the surprise of hearing my full name where I didn’t expect to hear it caused me to stumble over my feet. This is where I wished I was a gymnast or had any other athletic talent than tennis because I ended up hitting the gravel. Angrily, dusting off the gravel from my knees I turned around to attempt to spot the idiot and possibly murder whoever I had to.

Aiden owned that voice and he looked serious, the wrong kind of serious. His brow was smushed together into a deep frown and his lips bore no shadow of a smile. The knot in my stomach, left there by my mother’s hand gathered itself again. I jogged over to him, jumping over the waist high fence surrounding the court I was training at in a single graceful bounce.

“Congratulations,” Aiden murmured dryly, a little bit of anger seeping through. If I didn’t knew better, he’d just been in an argument he couldn’t quite shake off. “Your contract with Tennis Extreme was annulled. It only took two court appointed lawyers, two months of paperwork and a few threats but you’re free.” I nodded, looking down at the ground. Aiden’s mood infected my own, my brain was telling me to cheer, to jump up and down and just celebrate her freedom from the contract with the coach who nearly destroyed her body. Aiden nods, watching me. “Go celebrate somehow,” He turns around taking a few steps and then turning around again. “Your knee is bleeding, I suppose you can blame me.”
