Over the next few weeks, I was at a total meltdown point.

I was one step away from freaking the fuck out on everyone.

My dad had missed his job interviews.

I was fucking sick of eating shit snacks as meals.

School was just getting harder and harder.

And soccer was more than exhausting.

At soccer practice, I ran through a drill with my teammates, finding myself tired and just low on energy.

I sat on the ground as they went through a second drill, seeing my coach come to me.

"What's going through your head?" He asked me.

"I think I need to quit" I mumbled, seeing him nod slowly.

"I felt this coming- I watched you fall out of love." He mumbled slowly.

"Just know you're always welcome back, and I'm always in my office if you need." He spoke as I stood, nodding lightly.

"Thank you."

As I started my walk home, I ended up finding a random bench to sit on due to myself getting tired.

I was so lethargic.

As I took my break, Luke called me.

"Hi" I answered happily.

"Hi sunshine, how was school?" He asked.

I went silent for a second

"It was good" I ended up mumbling to him.

"I heard a lot of hesitation in that." He mumbled back to me.

"Just long" I spoke quietly.

"You sound down" he spoke.

"I just quit soccer" I told him, hearing him hesitate.

"Why, pretty girl?" He asked.

"I just don't love it anymore, and it tires me out so much easier than it used to,  I don't know what's wrong with me." I mumbled.

"How else are you feeling?" He asked .

"I'm just always tired." I continued.

"Where are you right now?" He asked me.

"A bench outside of a boutique in town." I told him.

"Send me your location, I'm coming to get you."
