I am a spectacle
among my teammates
Ethan taken away in handcuffs
Presley and Carter dumbfounded
as I disappear with the Coach
down to the police station
learning along the way
that my dad had told him everything
and asked him to keep a special eye on me
during the trip

I know I am safe
but I cannot stop shaking
thinking that I am too tired to do this anymore
that I just want it to be over
for Ethan to be out of my life
once and for all

I don’t even care what he had planned to do
or anything

before the police even finish with me
Dad arrives
and I dissolve into tears again
when he wraps his arms around me
