Chapter 1
Mia POV
The whistle cut through the air like it always did when Coach Harlan was pissed and I kept driving my legs harder even though every muscle in my body was on fire.
Sweat stung my eyes, my sports bra was plastered to my t**s, and my thighs felt like they were about to snap.
I was the best runner on the team, the good prodigy everyone talked about, but right then I just wanted to prove I could push past my limit one more time.
Stupid f*****g idea.
My right thigh twisted wrong on the final sprint and pain exploded up my leg like someone had jammed a hot poker straight into the muscle.
“f**k!” I cried out, my stride breaking hard.
Coach Harlan was on me in a second, his thick arm locking around my waist before I could eat dirt.
His chest was solid and hot agains
