It was the first home basketball game you and your friends decided to go to support your school and you were having fun. You were laughing and talking and having fun and joking with your friends while you watched the boys basketball team play.

Your crush was getting fouled a lot.

at one point in the game, he was neck and neck well shoulder to shoulder with one of the opposing team players.

The player on the opposing team elbowed him right in the nose. You watched as he held his nose, clearly in pain, blood dripping to the floor and staining his hands, a dark red.

at this point he was almost in tears. His glasses knocked off his face in the violent moment.

he couldn’t see anything. It was all blurry but he made his way over to you. Thinking you were his mom.

“Momma..” he said holding back at sob and blood from his nose dripped down his face and onto the gym floor and his jersey.

he sat next to you and covered his face with his hands and started to cry.

“It hurts momma…” he mumbled out softly.
