tryouts (pt.16)

Y/n walks through the hallway. Student's voices fill the air. She walks to the lacrosse field where Brett is training with some boys and Liam. She sits down on the grandstand. He sees her and walks to her. He sits down next to her.

Y/n: Water?

Brett: Yes, please!

She gives him a bottle of water.

Brett: You're an angel!

Y/n: I know!

He drinks almost the whole bottle.

Brett: Did you want some too?

She smiles.

Y/n: I'm fine!

Brett: Uhm, there's an eyelash beneath your eye.

Y/n: Here?

Brett: No. Wait, I'll help you!

He wipes it away with his thumb.

Brett: Make a wish!

Y/n: That's ridiculous!

Brett: No! Do it!

She says her wish in her mind and blows the eyelash away.

Brett: What did you wish for?

Y/n: I'm not telling you! Otherwise it won't come true!

He smiles. Liam walks to them.

Liam: Y/n. Can we talk?

She looks at him. Brett stands up and gets close to Liam.

Brett: Listen to me Dunbar! If you're saying anything wrong I'll beat the hell out of you!

He walks back to the others and Liam sits down next to y/n.

Liam: Look y/n, I don't know, what's wrong.

Y/n: What do you mean?

Liam: You're ignoring me and you're dating Brett.

Y/n: He is very cute.

Liam: He's such an asshole.

Y/n: Turned out he isn't.

Liam: Are you kidding me?

Y/n: Jealous Dunbar?

Liam: Dunbar? Since when do you call me that?

Y/n ignores him.

Y/n: Are we finished now?

Liam: I think so!

Y/n: Great!

She walks away with tears in her eyes. Brett sees her and runs after her.

Brett: Y/N WAIT!

He grabs her wrist and turns her around.

Brett: What happened?

Y/n: Let me go!

Brett: NO! Tell me what happened!

She's still trying to get his hand off her wrist. Suddenly he pulls her at himself and hugs her. She calms down.

Brett *whispers*: Are you better now?

Y/n: Yes. Thank you!

She goes a step back. Brett puts his hands on her cheeks.

Brett: Even if we're just pretending, I swore to protect you.

He kisses her on the forehead.

Y/n *under her breath*: Right, we're just pretending.
