Because I'm a hockey player and my parents are divorced, they both take it in turns to come and see me play. this week it's my dad's turn. "so, you in goal again?." My dad asks, clearly not knowing what I've been talking about for the past half an hour on the way to my match. its East high against Hugh Chester high, and they were good. I'm in east high. "yes dad, that's what I've been explaining to you for half an hour." I say looking over at him and grinning. "oh, sorry sweetie. you'll be amazing again, as usual." he says kindly.

Half way through the match both teams have a fifteen minute break and swap goalies. I saved quite a few shots and east high are winning 3-2. "hey kid, your doing well out there." my dad mentions, tapping me on the back as I go and see him with five minutes to spare.

Me and my dad were always really close, we'd do anything that we could together. my dads my hero and I'd give up my world for him, when my parents got divorced it made us closer because we spent more time together to keep our minds off things. we are in separable and always were.

"Okay girls. so, sophie, you and Olivia swap which mean then you sophie have to get your mind on shooting because that was our plan for olivia." my coach says to me in her feminine but firm voice. "yes, coach Madeline." I say strongly looking over at the pitch to see where is best to stand.

At the end of the game I scored four more goals and east high won, 7-5 . I look over to where my dad was standing to see him talking to noah. I walk over and realise that all the other boys my age are looking at me due to me having to borrow Maddies shorts and she shorter than me which then meant quite a lot was on show.

"Hey dad, hey noah. you two getting along okay?." I say lightly punching both of their arms. "yeah, you've got a good one here soph. but boy, if you dare hurt her your in so much trouble you-" my dad begins to say being his protective self but noah makes a good move and grabs hold of my waist and says "I've got her, sir. don't worry." . Aww he's so cute!.

Dad drives me back to his house where I stay every Friday to sunday. "im so proud of you y'know darling. You were amazing out there." my dad says when we get home and sit down. "thanks dad, next weeks match isn't on apparently, too many of the team have dropped out." I say, a little upset.

"Oh well eh?, Resting time." my dad says finding himself funny as usual. "yeah I guess so. thanks for coming dad, it's late now. I'm going to bed." I say pecking him on the cheek and heading to bed.

As I walk up the stairs he says "I love you, so much.". "I love you to, dad." I say back lovingly and walking up the stairs.
