"We should break up, Silas," Maisie catchesoff guard when she says that.
"What?" | look at her, confusion already taking over me.
"We should break up," she repeats what she has previously said.
"Why?" | ask, adjusting myself on the couch as | give her my full attention. She is at my place as usual. We're
both working on our assignments, so to hear her suddenly say that has ine perplexed. "Have you met somebody
else?" | wonder.
"No, | haven't met anybody else. But we need to break up for your sake." What is it with women in my life
abandoningin the nof doing that for my sake? "Silas, you won't get Rosie back if you stay with me."
"Rosie and | can't be together anymore. She literally said that she didn't wantin her life anymore," | remind
her. | told her about what happened betweenand Rosie, sparing no detail. | still can't believe that she told
expected that to happen.
"I remember you tellingthat the moment you walked out, you heard her sobbing. If a girl wants you out of
her life, will she sob after your departure?" she asksand | think about her words for a moment. Could this be
true? "I didn't point that out when you were tellingabout what happened because you looked really hurt, but
the more | think about it, the more | realize that Rosie didn't actually want that."
"But why would she tellthat she wantedout of her life if she doesn't want that?" | ask, exhaling.
"Rosie feels guilty for everything she has put you through and | swear, she still loves you, but she has been
seeing us together. She thinks that by staying in your life, she's going to ruin it, especially our relationship,"
Maisie explains. | don't know if this can ever be true, but if this is how it is, | will do anything to win her back.
"How could you be so sure of that?" | wonder.

"I'm a girl and | know how a girl eyes the guy she is in love with. Rosie really loves you. She always looks like
she's about to
cry
whenever she sees us together," Maisie points out. "You do know I'm not gonna get hurt if we break up, right?"
| give her a skeptical look, because I'm not sure if she is being truthful or if she's just saying that, so | won't feel
bad.
"Silas, we agreed from the very beginning that it's going to be casual. I'm literally standing in your way to get
Rosie back and our deal entailed that if you ever foundpreventing you from getting back with Rosie, you had
to break up with me," she remindsof our deal.
Just before | get to reply, my phone rings. I look at it and frown when I find the coach calling me. Why is he
calling me?
"Hello coach," | answer the phone.
"Silas, you need to cover to my office. There's something | would like to talk to you about," he says.
"I will be there in twenty minutes, coach," | tell him before hanging up.
"Is everything okay?" Maisie asksas | get up from my place.
"The coach said he wanted to see me. | don't know what's going on, but it's probably important," | tell her before
heading to my room to chance. | throw spants and a heavy hoodie since it's cold outside. ""Would you
like
"Sure." | shrug.
When | get inside the elevator, it takes us less than twenty minutes to reach the coach's office.

There are millions of thoughts running through my head and they're givingan unbearable headache. Maisie's
words have been playing on repeat in my head.
Should | have been more observant? Maybe | should have never believed Rosie in the first place when she told
I shake

head, trying to forget about what has been going on as | walk inside the coach's office after knocking on his door.
"Good afternoon, coach," | say, walking inside.
"Have a seat, Silas," he tells me, and I do so. "You want to join the NFL, don't you?"

"Of course." My answer is rather quick. | have always dreamt of becoming a professional football player.
"What do you think about this team?" he asksas he passesa picture of a logo. When | see the logo I'm
holding, my eyes widen. This is one of the greatest teams the USA has ever known. "They're interested in having
you join their team." "W-What?" | stammer, unable to believe what | have just been told.
"You heard me, Cromwell," he says, and | catch a hint of a smile on his lips. "If you want to seal the deal, you
better give your best performance during the next games. They'll be watching you."
"I will do my best, coach! That's a promise!" | excitedly say, unable to contain my happiness. | want to share the
news with my close friends and family.
| find Maisie waiting foroutside the moment | walk out of the office.
Her face breaks into a wide grin when | share with her what | have just been told. She isn't just happy for me;
she is ecstatic "This is amazing, Silas! You deserve the best!" she exclaims as we walk back to my car.
"I know how great this is, but I'm so nervous! Maisie, there's no room for mistakes," | tell her, already feeling
anxious.
"I know this must be stressful, but you're already amazing, Silas. Just keep doing what you already do, and you'll
be a member of the team before you know it," she boosts my confidence. "I feel like we need to celebrate!" "Not
yet. | won't celebrate before officially joining them," | say.
"Fair enough. But can we at least get ice cream?" she wonders, and | agree. "However, we're going to get it as
friends, Silas, not as a couple. It's tfor you to work on getting your girl back."
I'm thankful for Maisie's presence in my life and | know that without her, | would have probably been at a much
darker place in life.
