Stealing You

Jaz's Point Of View, "Hey Jaz, where are you, the whole team is waiting for you", Bob asked me as he was calling me since evening and I was not answering his call, I was so stressed about my tournament fee, it was so expensive and I just do not know from where I should arrange that, it is so hard for me to pay, and there is no way that I can miss this tournament, this is so important for me, my team depends on me and if I will not go, they will lose the game, and I just can not be the reason of their failure, I am the f*****g caption of the team and if I did not go, my team means nothing, they can not win without me, gosh, what should I do now. "Hmm Hey Bob, I was somehow feeling so low, that is why I was sleeping, you tell me what happened, why are you calling me like you are gonna die anytime soon and you just have to tell me something for one last time", I asked him and he was quiet for some seconds. "You must be kidding Jaz, you just know that we are having the most important match of our life, and you are the caption and we need you, your team needs you", said Bob and I just closed my eyes to stay calm, I just know that my team need my support, but what should I do when I am not sure about my going, I have no idea if I can go there or not, what if I could not arrange money and could not go there, what I will do after that. "Oh yes, of course, I remember that I was about to come after I wake, I was feeling not well so that is why I said that", I said to him and I just know that I should lie to him, but else I can do, I am not having options, there is no way that I am gonna ask that money to dad, I just know so well that he is doing so hard work so that he can manage house expenses, I can not be a burden on him, I know he will not say no to me but he would be in trouble coz of me and I do not want that. "Cool, that is great, I am glad that you remember that, come soon, we are all waiting for you", said Bob and hang up the call, my mind is not working already, I am feeling so numb, I am just wishing that I could have to do something about it or maybe some kind of part-time job, but now it is already late and I just know that I can not do anything now, I have so many friends but I still can not ask them from them, what they will think about me that I can not even afford my tournament fee, that is so shameful and now I am just feeling that I am nothing but a failure. "Hey Jaz, what happened, you look sad, do you need anything", dad asked me as he saw me at the terrace and I just got scared for a second coz usually he does not ask me anything like this, maybe it is the first time he noticed or first he asked me, gosh, now what should I say to him, should I tell him the truth, oh, no, no, I should not do that, he will be worried for no reason and I should not do that. "Nothing dad, I am fine, I was just here for some fresh air", I said to him and he was just looking at my face. "You know you can ask me anything and share anything with me", he said to me with a smile and I also smiled back at him, his smile inspires me a lot me and I just love him so much. "I know dad, thank you", I said to him and he just went to his room, and I just took a deep breath, just do not know what should I say now, what should I do now, feeling so helpless, god knows what will happen if I did not go to my own match, I was thinking about my match and upcoming tournament and just then my phone started ringing and I saw my coach was calling me, I just know he will ask about my fee, coz it was the last day for pay but I still did not pay that, he will ask me about it and I just have no idea how I will answer him, I just could not pick his call, I took a deep breath in relief when the phone got stopped ringing, but in the very next second it started ringing again and I just took a deep breath again coz I know that I have to answer it. "Amm Hey coach, how are you", I asked him as I picked the call.   "Jaz, where are you, why the hell you are not on the ground yet, you are the caption, how can you be so careless about your duty, you just know so well that whole team depends on you and your performance but still you are being so careless, I did not expect this type of behaviour from you, I just thought that you have professionalism, you the charm what makes you a caption, but your this action made me so disappointed", said coach to me and I just closed my eyes coz it was not easy for me to hear all those words while I know that nothing is important for me than my team and my game but I am also helpless, what should I do now, I am just feeling that I should talk to the coach about this, but still I am having second thoughts, I am not sure that I should talk to him about this. "Jaz, I am talking to you, can you please explain what is wrong with you and why you are still at your home", the coach asked me dragging me out from my imaginary world, and I just closed my eyes for a second and took a deep breath. "Amm coach I was just asking about the fee", I said to him and he just took a pause before opening his mouth and giving me a mini heart attack, I was just scared that he will scold me again, coz this is what he was doing since he called me. "Oh yes, your fee, I am glad that you paid your fee on time but that does not mean you can do anything you want, you can not be late on the ground, you are the f*****g caption for god sake", said my coach and my eyes got wide after hearing his words, what the hell did he say just now, seems like I heard something wrong, so I just need to ask him again. "What did you say coach about my fee", I asked him again and he just got a little irritated after this stupid question. "I said your fee is paid, why are you asking such silly questions Jaz, you should be on the ground, just go there right now", said the coach to me and hang up, I quickly got up from my seat and walked towards my room. "Hey, what happen Jaz, slow down honey or else you can get hurt", my mom said to me and I just smiled at her, she is so innocent and always taking care of small things, I just love her too coz she is so sweet. "I am fine mom, do not worry, I am going for the practice, I have matches", I said to her and headed inside my room, I quickly washed my face and changed my clothes, I am so happy and excited that I am going to ground coz that place excites me so much but my mind is still stuck on that one thing, who the hell paid my fee, I have no idea who did that, there is no one in my friend group, who can do that for me, then who it could be, I am so stupid, I could not even get a chance to ask my coach about it, what he would be thinking that I am not aware of this, but that is not my fault that I do not know about it. "Be careful son", said mom and I just nodded my head and walked out from there and took my bike and made my way to my ground, my ground is the place where I feel real happiness, I feel I there, that game and that ground is my real identity and I am so glad that I am again getting a chance to be with my team coz someone paid my fee, gosh, I am so curious as I want to know who paid it for me?
