Married at 19

Chapter 7

The game started for about 15 minutes and the score of the opponent team is 2 pointers more

than us. I tried my hardest to endure the pain on my foot, so our team could win the game by scoring

the last 3 pointers to defeat the opponent team. "Nathan!" Seth called my name while signalling me to

get ready. "Shoot now!" Then he threw me the ball where I was not guard by the opponent team

members.

This is my chance...to score 3 pointers so our team could win the game. So I took my step and

aimed the ball and shot it straight towards the hoop which I wasn’t sure if I score it or not. It is because

someone just pushed me so hard as I jumped so high to shoot the ball.

My sprained foot felt so much pain as I landed on it hard. The referee then blew the whistle right

away to end the game while my other teammates came closer to me to check me out.

The injury is so painful, but my heart beating so fast, and I feel really more uneasy than before as

my parents faces suddenly flash in my mind. The dream from that night kept haunted me over and

over.

There must be something bad happen to mom and dad.

"Hey Nathan," Henry was crouching to check on my condition. "Are you okay dude?"

I winced in pain. "Not okay dude...my foot is so painful, and I think something just happen to my

family." I wasn’t sure about it but I could feel it on my bones.

"What?" Seth knitted his eyebrows while looking at me. "What do you mean?" He looked awfully

confused with me

"I don't know...yet...but I really feel so uneasy right now."

"Nathan!" I heard an angelic voice calling my name. The special voice that only one person has it

and guess what...the owner is Isabella Dawson. She looks so worried about me as I saw her running

towards my direction with Sasha and Cecilia following her from behind.

"Are you okay?" She asked me while examined my right foot. "Can you move it?" Bella looked so

worried, an expression which I never see it before.

Why on earth she cares about me? I never treat her well before, I mean, I rarely talk to her not act

like a jerk in front of her or something.

I was indeed surprised with her action, especially the way she examined my foot right away as

soon as she arrived to check on me. It was like I was badly injured or something like that. She's totally

different than Sasha and Cecilia, she's more gentle and kind-heart person.

I think she might become a very good doctor and also a good wife to her future husband who is

very lucky to have her.

"Ouch..." I winced in pain.

"I think you sprained your foot again, Nathan. But it is worse than before." She said to me as she

moved my foot a bit to examine it.

Our eyes met for several milliseconds, a pair of beautiful grey eyes met with my ocean blue eyes.

I'm now noticed that she's actually more beautiful than Sasha or Cecilia. Her creamy skin is so

pretty, her bronze hair which is changed to wavy silky hair that is really match with her gorgeous face.

Eh...what I'm thinking? That’s so weird. What about Sasha? She is my crush but Bella…

I tried to move but my foot is so painful that made me winced in pain again.

"My family...I need to see them." I said when my mom and dad faces flashed again in my mind.

"Please take me to them now!"

"Hey calm down, boy. They'll be alright." Mr Goodman tried to calm me down. "It's you who need

an attention now. Girls, take Nathan to the infirmary, now! Do anything that you need to do."

My coach looks at me then back to my teammates. "My youth students, all of you must continue

your game without Nathan. Our best player got injured and it wasn’t mean that we lose. Let’s do our

best, okay?"

My teammates gave each other’s look. "Alright sir!"

"Sorry for disappointing you guys." I said to them. "Good luck...do your best without me."

My teammates gave me thumbs up before went back to the court to continue the match while Bella

took me to the infirmary to get my foot treat again.

*

We won the match this evening, it's all thanks to Henry with his quick movement to block the

opponent to shoot the score. Seth, my best friend then stole the ball from them and shoot a 3 pointers

into the dunk.

It was a luck by the way. If I didn't get injured, maybe I will be the one who shoot the winning score.

Thanks for that jerk who pushed me earlier that made me missed my shot.

But anyway, I can now move a little with Bella's expertise to treat my injury when the nurse wasn’t

there at the infirmary. She's so good though. I'm so lucky to have a friend like her. Man, I felt so guilty

all of sudden for not noticing her so soon. Poor her for being me as a friend. I’m truly a bad person.

I was resting on my bed in my dorm when, my closest lecturer entered my room followed by two

police officers behind him. Their uniform scared the hell out of several male students. I totally

recognized that sounded, where they were trying hard to hide all of their porn magazines, dvds,

strapons or whatsoever they have. I don’t know because I never had such a thing, believe me.

But the thing that worried me was my parents weren’t return my call until then. And now, tow police

officers came to my room.

What is actually happen?

Did I do something wrong against the law?

I wobbled a bit when I tried to stand up from my bed. Mr Stewart slowly approached me, with his

sad face.

"Nathan..." his voice cracked. "It's about you parents..."

I was shocked when he mentioned my parents.

My parents can't be...

They promised me!

“I’m sorry Mr Harrison, I’m afraid that both of your parents died in plane crash,” one of the police

officers told me.

“No….no….they promised me, no sir, noo!!!” I can’t accept that news. My parents can’t be dead,

they….they still alive. I know because they promised me.

I stood on my feet while enduring the pain from my right foot, “I want to go home, Mr Stewart. They

are waiting for me there…please let me go home,” the tears kept pouring down on my cheeks with theContent © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

two police officers tried to stop me. “Let me go…”

“Sir, please…calm down,” the tall police man tried to calm me.

“Let me go, dude!” I pushed him out of my way and Mr Stewart too as he was trying to stop me

from getting out of my dorm. But I managed to walk out of it and ran towards the hallway with the

hurting foot.

However, the pain was so damn hurt that made me fall almost fall, but there was someone

managed to catch me from falling. The scent was familiar and I knew that person without even look at

her face.

“They’re gone, Bella….” I shed the tears and the gentle Bella slowly pulled me into her arms by

letting me crying in her hug. “My parents…..they left me.”
