Football God by J.J. Loraine

Carson:
This should be the happiest moment of my life… I’ve won the big game, made my fortune, and bathed in the spotlight…
But it’s all meaningless without her…
Sadie Songbird… my former best friend… my one true love…
Even after all these years and all the miles between us, nothing feels complete without her…
That’s why I’m taking the biggest risk of my life… I’m going home… right after the big game…
My hometown will be crawling with people who hate me for leaving…
I only ever wanted to make a better life for myself… and now I have…
I’m living my wildest dreams… Except for one thing…
Her…
It’s always been about her…
I’m coming for you Sadie Songbird…
I’m calling my own plays now, and they all lead to you.

Sadie:
I gave up on watching football when he gave up on calling me back…
But now he’s impossible to avoid… my hometown is obsessed with his football heroics…
Carson Steele… The best football player in the country… and my former best friend…
He left our little college town to go make something of himself, and now he has…
He won the big game and the hearts of people all across the nation…
But he lost me…
I’ll do whatever it takes to avoid him… it’s going to be difficult tonight, though… Everybody’s out celebrating his big win…
I’ve never felt like more of a loser…
I don’t think I ever want to see him again…
