Taking a Loss

Nicole

I’ve had this sick feeling in the pit of my stomach all day. Caleb’s team has an away game in Arkansas today. I saw him off last night. The team will be returning tonight, right after the game.

I wanted to go, but I have exams to study for. Honestly, I should have just gone. I haven’t focused on a thing in front of me for hours, this sucks.

I look at the clock, for the millionth time, as I chew on the edge of my highlighter. It’s only five minutes past the last time I looked. The game should be over by now, but it will be at least another hour before Caleb and the team arrives back on campus.

I heard talk about a big party being thrown for their return. I doubt Caleb will go, though Cameron has been partying a lot more since he and Kay have broken up. I haven’t seen or heard much from Kay in the last month.

Tournaments are coming soon, so everyone has been high strung. Caleb’s team needs this win to stay in the running. If they lose, they could lose their seed.

Caleb and Cameron are under so much pressure. Drafts are right in the middle of the tournaments and Caleb has high hopes. For Cameron, it doesn’t seem like such a big deal. He has fun playing. Lose or win he’ll be fine with it. If he gets drafted, it’s just more good times.

For Caleb, it would crush him if his team slips from their coveted spot, because he didn’t do well or because he could’ve done more. If he doesn’t get called up, again, his dreams will be smashed. I’m so nervous for him.

I hate that he is under such pressure and I hate that I didn’t go to be there for him. Caleb insisted I stay behind to study. I love him for putting me first, but I wish I would have done the same for him.

I just have this really bad feeling. I try to shake it off and pay attention to the notes in front of me. I wish Caleb were here. He has become the best study buddy, when we actually study.

Not that I’m a terrible student. My grades were stellar before dating Caleb. However, I have seen improvement since we’ve been dating. Caleb sees things from a different view, which often helps to get to the heart of things and makes them stick better for me.

When I finally get lost in my notes and some reading, my phone rings. I knit my brows when I see that it’s Cameron. The feeling in my stomach grips me. I reach for my phone and answer right away.

“Hey Cam, is everything okay,” I rush out.

“No, Nicky,” he calls me by his nickname for me, causing my heart to pound hard in anticipation. “He’s fucked up right now. You think you can meet us when we pull in. He needs you.”

“Oh, my God, you guys lost,” I gasp.

“Yeah, his head just wasn’t in it,” Cameron whispers.
