Chapter 57

Beverly's pov

"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God" Elena groaned

"Elena!" I yelled

"What!" The girl said, I could see the panic in her eyes and she breathed deeply

"It's okay, it's literally gonna be okay" I said

"HER LEG IS BROKEN" Elena screamed

"I know, I know. Just calm down before you start stressing me out too" I mumbled, her eyes seemed to soften

"Oh... Yeah right, ugh I'm sorry" she groaned

"It's okay, just go take a lap to clear your mind" I said

"We'll be okay" She said, her soft brown eyes locked with mine and she placed a hand on my shoulder for some sort of reassurance

"I hope we will be" I mumbled

Elena gave me a shy smile before leaving the locker room, heading towards a quick jog to warm up to take her mind off this disaster.

This day was not going well. At all.

I started my day off with cereal, then there was no milk. No fucking milk! I should have known the day would have been terrible from that moment on.

My car broke down halfway on the way here, the uber -that I took to get here after my car broke down- engine's stopped working.

Then Aqua wouldn't return any of my calls and texts, the last time I spoke with her was last night when she said she had to start packing to head to Tokyo.

Listen, I know her work is important and I support her for following her passion. But there's still a part of me that wished she was here, especially right now with this chaos.

Two teams members are absent, one called in sick, another hasn't arrived yet and to top things off. Isabel just broke her fucking leg when she was rehearing

"I have the ice" a team member said as he walked into the locker room

"thank you" the girl said as she placed the ice onto her joint, the medic stepped out to call an ambulance because it was pretty bad

She was supposed to be caught by the guys when she was tossed into the air for a safe landing. Unfortunately the dumbass guys got distracted by our competition, some girls with tight and short uniforms blew a kiss their way and the guys turned to mush, completely forgetting that they had to catch their team member who was plumaging to the ground. The girl fell directly onto her knee, cracking her bone in the process. Harsh, I know. I'm just really happy that she's okay.

What I really needed right now was Aquamarine. I missed her, that's the heartbreak of my day. With all the chaos that was happening, she was the only perosn I thought of.

The team was freaking out, we were down by three members and had no idea how we were gonna pull off our routine without the most important one in the mix. Isabel. GODDAMIT.

"Any ideas?" A team member asked

"Let me think for a while" I mumbled

It was the first time I'm captain and our first game as a new team and this is what happens?

What does that say about me as a leader?

Ugh I need to calm down, I couldn't physically control everything that was happening today but I still felt like it was my fault.

I still felt that heavy weight on my shoulder that was now mixing with the anxiety and pressure of what would happen next.

I sighed and stepped out of the locker room we were assigned to, my eyes immediately scanned the building. There were colourful flags lined across the walls and banners of each school, the floor was wide and the blue bleachers were bigger than most in highschools. The audience was packed with fiends and family members of the many teams. The announcer stood on a tall post with a horn, the music blasted through speakers hooked onto the walls all around. I sighed and searched for my friends
