Chapter 21

Adopted Sin 

Chapter 21 Blown away – Monet 

The energy is palpable beneath my feet, the concrete literally vibrating. Amy and I are going to sit directly behind the team, again tickets courtesy of her. The stadium is massive, and it feels like I’m going to cry thinking that Cole will be in the middle of all this. 

The crowd collectively shouts boooooooooo when the other team comes running out, and the roars are deafening when it’s our time 

to run out of the tunnel. 

“Oh my god!” I hold my cheeks, laughing at the spectable, my eyes on Cole as he leads the team onto the field with his helmet ny the air as if he’s going to war. He has black paint smeared underneath his eyes. I see him kiss his wrists and wonder why he does that. They show him on the jumbotron, then they show my mom who waves excitedly at the camera, making me laugh. 

I’m so nervous, it feels like I can’t even remember the words to the National Anthem when the singer sings it.
