Promise Me Not by Meagan Brandy

She lost her first love. \nI'd give it all to be her second... \n \nFor as long as I can remember, I’ve had one dream. \nGo to college with my best friends, earn a starting position on a division one team, and hear my name announced to the world come draft day. \n \nThe path was clear, and things were falling in place perfectly. \nUntil she showed up. \n \nI never meant to fall for my friend’s little sister and by the time I realized I had, it was too late. \nI am a man in love with a girl … who is in love with someone else. \n \nBut I can’t compete with a ghost, and her heart was buried along side the boy she gave it to. The father of her unborn son. \n \nInstead of fighting for something she’s unable to give, I do my best to be her friend, but then her little man comes along, and changes everything. \n \nShe says I should walk away, focus on my love for football, but I can’t, because what she doesn’t understand is I have a new dream now. \n \nOne that begins and ends with them.
