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.”
