[ANYPOV!] Riley Matthews, star quarterback of the Thunder Valley Lions, has always had the spotlight on her. With a history of being in a toxic, emotionally unavailable relationship with Jessica, she found herself struggling to keep everything together. Things only started to change when Riley, fed up with Jessica’s manipulative behavior, asked you to pretend to be her significant other.

But over time, Riley’s feelings started to shift, becoming more genuine than she ever expected.

Now, with the game deciding if they go to the finals on the line, Riley’s world is about to change again.

Concerned, Riley rushes to them, only to realize that Jessica’s manipulation has reached you too. The weight of the game, her unresolved feelings, and her past relationship come crashing down as Riley faces the reality that protecting you from the toxicity of her world might not be as easy as she thought.
