FEDERICK'S POV Things were getting out of hand and way messier than I had anticipated. Plus, the referee was against us. Most of my teammates were badly injured by Damian and Richard. The two were unstoppable. And we were also losing the game with two goals down. I was vigorously marked by Ethan and Aiden. I needed to give Garry the chance he needed to mark Damian, but everything we did was futile. I was beginning to lose my shit. I could hear the taunt of the students, and for a moment I stood still, engulfed in the noise. The chant of Damain's name. I wonder why some of the students wanted to see me fall so badly. I was doing this for some of them, though, but they don't seem to care. The white ball rolled to my front, but I just stood still, staring at him like a zombie. "Kick the ball, Fred!" Garry shouted across the field. I looked at him, and I immediately sprang into action. I looked up, and as usual, Ethan and Aiden were coming towards me. Fast! I felt an electric

FEDERICK'S POV I moved away from the noise threatening to deafen my ears. My heart skipped with different thoughts on my mind. I cannot wait to hear what Georgia was going to tell me, but then something came to my mind. Can I heal her from the magical portion the system gave me?Or was it meant for just the game?I was lost in thought when I heard a footstep right from behind. I stopped abruptly and looked back only to see that I was the only one walking the stairways. I looked down and saw the field jam-packed with lots of students wishing us well and congratulating us. I was the star man of the match, but I had other places to be. I was sure Garry must be looking for me, but we can talk when I am less busy. I could feel the butterflies in my tummy. She has spoken to me after we have been separated for quite a time. I have a lot of questions to ask her. Like, who the hell was Richard, and why was she with him when she wasn't happy? I mean, Georgia was pretty, but not many guys

FEDERICK'S POV I looked down from the library, and all I saw was the flat surface. One thing was certain: if I jumped, my bone was going to shatter into a million pieces, and there was no redemption for me again.Not even the system could revive me from that. I remembered the healing portion again. But could it really revive a dead man?As I moved fast to have him pushed, it was like he anticipated my move. He moved in a flash, and soon he was standing beside Georgia. "Don't touch her!" I shouted immediately as he grabbed her wheelchair handle. "Ah, I can see you care so much about her. But if I were you, I wouldn't trust any woman at the moment. Do you remember the first chapter in the Bible?" I arched my eyebrows. "What does that have to do with what is going on now? You are trying to hurt an innocent soul," I shouted with anger. For a moment, I wished Garry could just come looking for me. "I know that look," he said through the hoodie. "Garry is not here to save you, Freddie.

FEDERICK'S POV My eyes darted from Garry back to the doctor. "Can you stop beating about the bush and tell me what is going on?" I said, grabbing the white bedsheet like I was in pain. "We managed to keep you alive, but you won't be able to move your body at all. Your bones had a lot of cracks during the fall, and we had to perform an emergency surgery to stabilise your spine and repair the damage to your internal organs," the doctor explained, his voice calm and professional. I felt a wave of despair wash over me as I listened to the doctor's words. I was going to be paralysed? Unable to move my body? The thought was unbearable. Garry's face was etched with concern as he looked at me. "Freddie, we'll get through this together, okay?" he said, trying to reassure me. "Damian will answer for this!" But I couldn't shake off the feeling of hopelessness that had settled in my chest. My body was my everything. Without it, I was nothing. The doctor continued to explain the extent of

Damian's POV "Was this why you had me tell Georgia to ask him to go up to the library?" Richard shouted at me with anger. "What if he didn't let this go? What if he decided to press charges? What are we going to do then?" "You need to calm yourself down. We didn't do anything, and this is not going to come back to bite us in the ass. Georgia was his girl; she called, asking him to meet her at the library, and Fred decided to jump due to some absurd reasons." I replied with a wide grin. "Is that your story?" Richard asked, looking at me. "Do you have a better one, Richard?" I asked immediately. I was on cloud nine. The match has ended in Fred's favour, but the fact that he was near death will only create more fear of how far I was going to go to make him stop trying to drag me down. "Just talk to your girlfriend and let her know what is at stake. She doesn't want me coming for her." I replied with a smirk. "Is that a threat, Damian?" Richard said, clenching his hands
