The Water Girl Chapter Seven
River River: please don't panic, but I believe Rock injured his leg during practice today. He asked me not to inform you just yet, so I suggest waiting before reaching out to him. Gabriela: oh my gosh, what are they doing for him? Will they take him to the hospital? River: take a deep breath, Gab. The medical team is currently attending to him. They are preparing to transport him off the field, and yes, it's likely that he will need to go to the hospital. I will update you as soon as the coach informs me of more details. Gabriela: thank you for letting me know, River. Please keep me updated. River: I will. And please don't mention to him that I told you. He didn't want you to find out just yet because he didn't want you to worry. Gabriela: I promise I won't, sweetheart. I observe from the sidelines as the team places Rock onto a cart to take him back to the locker room. It doesn't look good for him; his leg appears to be severely twisted. Once he's off the field, I resume my d
The Water Girl Chapter Eight
Rock I'm in a lot of pain today and I can't take my medication until River arrives in about twenty minutes. She always takes her time, just to annoy me. Lately, she's been getting on my nerves a lot and it's really frustrating. The guys have been texting me all day, checking up on me. It's game night tonight, and I've never missed a game since I started playing football. But now I have to miss the next six weeks because I wasn't focused during practice yesterday. Instead, I was too busy thinking about Brody and River. I don't understand why I care that Brody is dating the water girl. I can't stand her, but I don't want to see her with one of my friends. The front door opens and I hear footsteps approaching. "Is that you, water girl?" "Nope, someone here to kill you." I wouldn't be surprised. "Very funny. Just come in and get me some water so I can take my medication." "You're not in a position to tell me what to do, Rock. So calm down. I'll get your water." Wow, River has real
The Water Girl Chapter Nine
River "Hey River," Brody calls out to me as I step out of my jeep. "Hello Brody." "How's Rock? I tried texting him over the weekend, but he never answered." "Besides driving me crazy, he's doing fine. His medication has him sleeping a lot." And trying to kiss me? "I'm sure he would enjoy you guys stopping by after classes are over. He's going out of his mind sitting at the house all day by himself." "Yeah, I'll tell the guys we should all go over there and cheer our captain up. Well, I've got to run. I'll talk to you later... Maybe we can get a bite to eat later." Okay, that wasn't weird at all. I don't understand guys sometimes. Brody's behavior towards me has changed since Rock got hurt, and I don't understand why. ... whatever, I really don't have time for boys and their wishy-washy attitudes. I make my way into the building that holds my first classroom and walk over to where Sydney is waiting for me. "What took you so long?" Sydney scolds me. "I got stopped by Brody outsi
The Water Girl Chapter Ten
Rock I'm finally back in school after spending weeks on the couch due to my injured leg. It feels good to be back on the field, even if I can't do much besides throwing the ball. I still have to use crutches to get around, so the coach says I can't practice or play until the doctor clears me from using them. But honestly, I'm just relieved to be out of the house and off the couch. I was getting so bored that I even started flirting with the water girl. "Hey, Rock! Long time no see, man. I didn't think you were ever coming back to the field. We really need you out there. That rookie is making too many mistakes, and we've been losing too many games this year, bro," Speedy says, coming up beside me and giving me a fist bump. "Unfortunately, it's still going to be a few weeks before I can get back on that field, Speedy," I reply, making him groan. "Is it really that bad, bro?" "Fuck, man, you have no idea," he tells me. "Hi, Speedy. Hi, Rock. Do either of you want any water?" Tiffany
The Water Girl Chapter Eleven
River I run out of my room and down the stairs to my father’s study, where I know he will be with a bourbon in hand. “Why did you lie to me all these year’s father? Why did you tell me she left us because of me?” My father just looks at me like I have lost my mind. “You don’t want to come at me, little girl, because I will hurt your feelings worse than knowing your pieces of shit mother didn’t leave you for drugs.” “Why didn’t you just kick me out with her, I ask him?” “Because that bitch wasn’t getting a dime of my money and I knew if you went with her, I would have to pay that bitch half of my pay. But River, didn’t you have a good life? Here you have a jeep, a roof over your head and food to eat. Forgive me for not being here because I must work.” “No, father, let's be real with each other for once. You are never here because you can’t stand to be in the same house as me. You keep me as a go fuck you to my mother. But we both know you hated me more than you did her? But wh
The Water Girl Chapter Twelve
Rock "I need to find my mom," River declares, bursting into my room without warning. "River, have you forgotten how to knock?" I retorted, annoyed. "Forget it, Rock. You always enter my room without permission, regardless of whether I'm decent or not. Get up and come with me." "Are you seriously demanding that I do something for you, River?" "Yes, Rock, I am demanding," she asserts, and damn, it's turning me on, but she still won't let me touch her because of Brody. I approach her and wrap my arms around her waist, pulling her closer. "I'll help you, but only if you do something for me." "Rock!" she exclaims, pushing me away. "I'm not having sex with you just so you'll assist me in finding my mom. I'll just ask Sydney for help." "Come here, Riv. I just want a kiss, nothing more, and then we'll find your mom." She places her hands on my forehead and pushes me away. "Rock, you're such a jerk," she says, walking out the door. Wel
The Water Girl Chapter Thirteen
River "My mom is back in my life," I share with my therapists. "How do you feel about that?" she asks. "I'm not sure yet. It's still a bit strange to have her back in my life, especially knowing that it was my father's fault, not mine." "What do you mean?" my therapist inquires. Ugh, it frustrates me when she does that. "My mother left our family because my father constantly gave her drugs and made her an addict. My father wanted to reconnect with his high school sweetheart, but she was already married. There's a suspicion that my father may have done something to Rock's dad, according to my mom and Rock." "That's a serious accusation," she responds skeptically. "No kidding," I reply sarcastically. "Alright, let's shift gears and talk about work. Have you returned to work yet?" "Yes, but I still experience extreme anxiety." "Is the medication I prescribed helping at all?" "Yes, but sometimes it feels like the dosage may not be high enough." "Well, I can prescribe a slightl
The Water Girl Chapter Fourteen
Rock "You know, man, if I didn't know any better, I'd think you were trying to sabotage me," Brody says as we walk to our next class. I laugh it off and head to our classroom for Trig. "Fuck! You're catching feelings for River, aren't you?" Brody says, coming up behind me. Well, shit. Do I tell him the truth? He's one of my best friends, and I don't want to hurt him in the end, but I want River. Nah, I'll leave that shit for now. "So, you think by ignoring me, I'll drop it. You're one of my best friends, man, and I know you and River have history. So, I'm gonna bow out. I'll tell River I think we should just be friends," Brody says, and fuck, I feel like a dick. Why did he have to be so nice about this? "Brody, let's let her make her own choice, okay, man." Brody smiles at me. "That's real noble of you, Rock, but I know how this ends, man. Hell, I don't have a leg to stand on with you in the same house as her." He's got a point there. "Still friends, man?" "Yeah, still friend
