wasn't ready • russell westbrook

dear catherine,

last night when i ran onto the court, i felt so ready. i knew we were playing the all-mighty warriors, but i was confident we could beat them.

i looked out into the crowd, admiring the number of people that came to see this incredible matchup. but as i looked out, i only saw one person. you.

it's been 2 years. 2 years since i saw you. 2 years since i left you.

and wow, you still look absolutely gorgeous. it's like you haven't changed at all, but you've somehow managed to get even more stunning. maybe it's just because i haven't seen you in so long, or that i just can't believe i left a pretty face like yours.

i stood there, mouth agape, eyes widened, looking like a deer in headlights. i was frozen and shocked. why were you here? how were you? had you moved on?

you looked happy in your warriors gear, sporting the exact jersey of one of my biggest rivals. the star point guard of the enemy team.

it hurt not seeing you in my jersey. it hurt not seeing you sporting my team's colours amongst the sea of yellow and blue. it hurt.

then you saw me, and it was like everything stopped. you looked at me, and all i saw in your eyes was anger.

but time started moving again, and you went back to talking to your friends like you hadn't seen me at all.

i blinked, coming back to reality. i was standing there with my mind captured by your presence, and you were there acting like you didn't know who i was. it's quite obvious how the tables have turned.

why am i still here thinking of you? i was the one who left you, and you were the one begging for me to stay. now all i want to do is have you, but all i am to you is a stranger.

last night i played one of the worst games in my life. i've never shot so bad, made so many turnovers, or recorded so little assists and rebounds. i couldn't do anything. not with you there.

i wasn't ready.

i wasn't ready at all. i wasn't ready to see you. and i damn sure wasn't ready to become a stranger to you.

from,

russell

do y'all agree that westbrook's 2k rating should be a 90?

also don't come at me for not putting a photo of him in a rockets uniform because we don't like that !
