Being the most talented football

player came with benefits.

Fame

Popularity

Adoration of all

Women flocked to him

People wanted to be like him

So why would he have any interest

in an innocent, book nerd like me?

I owed him a favor.

“Be my girl,” he said.

“Let’s have fun,” he said.

And when the fun was over,

we would go our separate ways.

Harmless, right?

But what if it wasn’t?

Because I realized…

Axel did nothing in half measures

And whatever he wanted,

he would do everything in

his power to have it.

I just didn’t realize

he would break me in the process.
