Broken Angel - Josh Richards

Chapter 34

RECAP

JADENS POV

We were walking and suddenly she stopped in her tracks.

PRESENT

RAENNES POV

My dad lifted me out of the car, held onto my hand and that made me feel a little more dizzy but it went away after a couple minutes.

As he held my hand we started to walk around the building and I looked at the ground eat time a new car came into the parking lot.

But all of the sudden I got a wave of dizziness and started to see dots. So I used a method I usually use to stay conscious.

I started at the closest tree to me to get a focus point. My dad noticed I stopped walking and looked at me.

I stopped staring at the tree and continued walking. He gave me a look filled with concern and curiosity.

JADENS POV

Raenne started walking again and I was so confused.

"Angel, what was that?" I asked

"What? Oh..nothing" she replied coldly

"Rae come on that was not nothing. What's going on?!" I asked concerned

"I just got a little dizzy okay! From all the crying" She replied

"Babygirl I know you were crying a lot but, crying can't make you dizzy" I stated

she stayed silent

"Raenne what's up with you? Why were you crying?" I asked curiously

"Nothing" She answer coldly

"Raenne! 'Nothing' is not an answer. Please just be honest with me" I say

"What makes you think i'm lying to you!" she raised her voice a little bit

"Raenne....just tell me the truth. I'm not going to hold anything against you!" I said reassuring her

she just kept on walking and didn't reply.

"I'll unlock the car so you can sit and i'm going to go in and tell your coach that your aren't gonna play again today" I told her

I saw her slightly nod her head.

I unlocked the door, she got in the car and I headed towards the door of the building

I walked in the see all the girls running laps around the court and Amber finishing setting up the net.

"Hey Amber" I said

She turned her head towards me

"Hey Jaden! Where's Rae?" she questioned

"About that. Could I talk to you for a moment" I asked

"Yes, of course" she replied

She walked toward me and we went into the hallway

"What's up?" She asked

"We are still not sure what going on with Raenne..." I said

"Oh no" she replied

"Yea..um...she won't tell us anything, and her and I just walked around the parking lot for a while because she wouldnt get out of the car. Mads and I really don't know what we should do" I explained

"Oh gosh okay. Please encourage her to come to practice but if she can't I completely understand. I want her to get better, so does the team. Have you gotten someone to help?" She asked

"Yes, we have a therapist/life coach lined up and she seems amazing. We are having her come today when Rae gets home from school" I explained

"That's great." She stated

"Now I should let you start practice! Thanks Amber!" i said

"See ya" she said as she wakes back into the gym.

I walked outside and and looked in the car when I saw Raenne curled up into a ball with tears streaming down her face, my heart broke...
