Veronica's POV
Hardy's eyes blazed with defiance, though they kept drifting toward the stands.
This was absolutely insane!
How had that ball managed to strike her like that?
Juliette took a brutal hit, blood streaming everywhere. Her outfit was completely soaked.
I pressed my hands against Juliette's nose, trying to stem the bleeding. Camila and I were helping her down from the stands.
Heath vaulted over the barrier, racing toward us. "How's Juliette doing?"
"She won't stop bleeding!" I replied, watching as Juliette's eyes rolled back before she suddenly crumpled.
"She's unconscious—we need to get her to the hospital!" I yelled.
"I've got her!" Heath declared, scooping Juliette up and bolting for the exit.
Camila and I rushed after him.
We burst out of the gym and piled into Heath's car, racing toward the hospital.

Leonardo's POV
Hardy's teammates had scattered. I approached him. "Hardy, what just happened back there?"
