"Why" Nathan asks me "does Paul Lahote keep trying to talk to you again? Sam? Jared? They aren't trying to bring you into Sam's cult are they?"

"Doubtful" Especially since Paul wants absolutely nothing to do with me "The only reason they want to talk is because I know something that they want to know how I know. Your Uncle Cooper is back in town, is he still single?"

"You" Nathan and I get out of the car since we came by his mom's house, Nathan is giving me a ride home since we live in the same apartment complex "and my Uncle Coop will never happen, why? Because he doesn't date those who are under twenty one"

"Shame" looking over at a black SUV like vehicle "isn't that your dad's car?"

Nathan looked over and visibly becomes upset, he storms into the house and I follow him making sure he doesn't do anything stupid "What the hell is this?" Nathan demands seeing his dad and uncle in a pissing contest while his mom looks exasperated. Didn't his mom just get out of rehab? "What are you doing here?"

"I could say the same thing to you, Nathan" his dad looks his way "I heard you moved back in with Hades" holding his hand up "I meant Haley"

"Isn't this Deb's house?" I ask

"It is" Cooper looks my way smiling "Hi Mal, it's good seeing you"

"You too Coop" looking over at Deb "Hello Deb, how are things?"

"Better" she smiles giving me a brief hug "it's good to see you Mal"

"Dad" Nathan went over to his dad "I'm serious, let's go. Come on"

Dan yanks his arm out of Nathan's grasp when Nathan tries grabbing him "Don't be a stranger Cooper"

"Enough!" I go over began pushing him out of the room through the living room "Mr. Scott leave, now. Unless you have an invite from Deb, you are trespassing on her property"

"Don't touch me" Dan spins around angrily as I pushed him out of the house "I can ruin your basketball career"

"What the hell is wrong with you dad?" Nathan is behind me "Don't you think maybe mom's has enough?"

"It's my house Nathan" Dan argues

"No!" Nathan exclaims "it's not! It's not your house and she's not your wife"

"Leave Mr. Scott" I order "before I call the cops for trespassing"

"You have to stop this crap dad" Nathan begs

"Or what?!" Dan demands raising his voice "I'm the freaking mayor of this town! Mayor! I can go wherever the hell I want and do whatever the hell I please! Do you hear me?"

"And people say I have too much hubris" shaking my head "you are not welcome here Mr. Scott, mainly because you are a wrecking ball and all you know how to do is wreck. Your former wife needs to recover from the damage you put her under and Nathan doesn't need your influence anymore"

"Get off my property" Dan yells at me "Now or"

"Or what?" I demand loudly "I am not scared of you Mayor Scott, you are just like every other corrupt politician. You can try to destroy my life or the people around my life but it won't do a damn thing but show your true colors"

"Guys" Nathan gets between us "leave Mr. Mayor, everyone is watching"

"This is my house" Dan argues "I worked hard to build it and if I want I'll burn the damn thing to the ground and everything in it!" He storms off then and drives off fast.

Deb comes out and I look at them "He is getting worse, you need to get a restraining order put on him. If you don't..."

"I know" Nathan looks to his mom "we need to get a restraining order"

❤️‍🩹

"Are you okay?" Haley asks me

"Yeah" nodding my head, rubbing my side as I drink another bottle of water. I've been really thirsty lately since a few days ago, getting dizzy whenever I don't drink enough water "just need water"

"How does it feel" That Damien West wraps his arm around Haley and me "knowing your season ends tonight?"

"Don't count on it" Haley scoffs

"You both smell great" he inhales deeply "I wonder how you'll taste"

I spun around and slapped him across the face hard, everyone looks our way as I grabbed his jersey pulling him holding his jaw with my other hand tightly "I don't give a fuck who you think you are, focus more on your game than trying to sexually harass someone!" Shoving him away that he falls to the floor with a thud, he looks at me flabbergasted grabbing his jaw rubbing it. On his cheek I a handprint bruise from when I slapped him.

When it came to practice I hear "Mikaelson!" Looking over to Whitey, the referee and the other team's coach. I walk over to them "Is it true" Whitey asks me "you hit the other team's captain?"

"Yes" I confirm

"See" Damien complains

"After" I add "he sexually harassed me and a cheerleader from Forks" looking to the referee "if your going to bench me from playing the game then I wonder how everyone in this room will feel learning why, especially the women. I'll play against the other team's captain on the court but I refuse to be apart of his games outside of it. Can I get back to practice?"

"Go" Whitey points

Going back to the team, they look my way "What" Nathan asks "was that about? Where did Damien get the bruise?"

"I slapped him" Nathan is taken aback "after Damien made a comment that you don't need to hear at the moment" shooting some balls "let's focus on the game"

When Dan comes out he smiles "Hey Nathan!" Nathan just walks away not saying anything "Nathan!"

"Look dad..." Nathan calmly says as Deb hands him the restraining order that was just placed tonight.

"What is this?" Dan demands

"A restraining order" Deb places her hands before her "you said you were going to back off, Dan. With me...and with Nathan. This requires you to stay at least one hundred feet away"

After an hour of the game, that Damien taunts "all night Scott, got all night"

"Look at the scoreboard" I suggest "unless you can't count"

"It's tied" Nathan dribbles the ball, he passes the ball to me and I run faster before shooting just as Damien pushed me.

"You did that on purpose!" Haley pushes him

"Bitch get off me!" Damien orders

I went over as the referee blows his whistle "You bastard" I punch him in the face hard. Damien is on the floor unconscious while I grabbed my side stumbling.

"Woah" Nathan catches me as that Damien is helped up when they manage to wake him up, he grabs his nose since I broke it and blood is coming down it "you good?"

"Yeah" I go to the free throw line since I deserve two, especially after what that jackass Damien did.

"You broke my nose!" Damien went to tackle me but his team holds his back.

"Alright" the referee hands me the ball and I was about to shoot but the referee stops me from shooting "I see blood"

Taking off my jersey as the paramedic on call checks me over "Not her blood" The man tells them, Whitey is relieved while I smile going over and shoot two perfect shots.

I wish my family, the Mikaelsons were here to watch me play. This is a big deal for me, I also wish my friends from the Salvatore School were here. Dr. Saltzman would be proud, he's like a second dad to me. He's been there to help guide me, in ways a teacher and a father would. He didn't have to but he did.

When Nathan has a free throw to either have us win or loose, it's best exhilarating. If I ever have kids, well...if I have any nieces or nephews since I doubt I'm mother material I'll tell them about playing with no magic. How much fun the game can be.

"You got nothing, Scott" Damien complains "nothing!"

Nathan smirks throwing his free throw and we watch as the ball goes into the hoop, we all cheer loudly for him. Haley jumps into his arms. "That was amazing Nathan" I say

"Wouldn't have made it without your help" Nathan smiles "co captain" Lucas named me captain in his place before he left.
