The Coaches Daughter

THREE

The boys and I had to have a long talk about what we were going to do, it isn't fair that Lucy should have to be isolated because of her dad. But at the same time football has always been our life, now that could be getting stripped from us
"Hey guys" Lucy said in her usual bubbly tone as she came to meet us at lunch
"You guys have been quiet MIA today" She said and I looked at the boys, this is going to be harder then we thought
"Listen Lucy" Noah said earning a look from them
"Not you guys too" She whispered earning our full attention
"You know I truly thought you lot were different, I thought that we could have actually been friends" She said picking up her back and running off. It took all the power in me to not run after her
"Man why is this so hard" I asked
"Because we aren't used to having to do that to people" Callum said and I bowed my head
"This isn't fair on her" I said
"We know but its either her or football" Noah said
"Is football really worth that much?" I asked 
"I looked over to see Lucy sat on the steps with her head on her knees, this isn't fair at all

|Lucy's POV|

"oh baby what is wrong" Mum asked as I got home from school, I looked at her and I just wanted to fall into her arms
"I don't know what is going on" I cried allowing her to engulf me into a hug
"What is happening my princess" She asked guiding my over to the sofa
"I made some friends at school, it was great. I was having fun, but for some reason they have isolated myself. Stopped talking to me" I continued to cry
"Just like all the other places?" she asked and I nodded
"why does this constantly happen to me? It isn't fair.. What did I do" I asked her, she took my face in her hands making me look at her
"you didn't do anything baby, i'm sure there is a reason behind it but I don't think this is your fault at all" She said trying to comfort me but I couldn't believe her for a second 

I was laid in my bed when mum came in to say there was a letter dropped off for me, I sighed looking at it a few times before finally opening the letter

Lucy

I know this is strange and I can tell you aren't okay right night. But I think we need to talk about what is going on.. Can you meet me at the park in an hour?

A

I looked over the letter a few times before finally deciding to go, what do I have to lose at this point anyway?
I got myself out of my pjs and headed downstairs where mum and dad were sat in the living room
"Where are you going" Dad asked
"just out for a walk" I said putting my shoes on 
"At this time of night?" He asked
"it's 7pm" I said and he nodded
"Just be careful honey" Mum said and I nodded before heading out the door
 I can't help but think that there is something strange going on but who am I to judge this over one day? It's a small time word probably just got around

I walked into the park and my eyes instantly landed on Alfie who was pacing around, his eyes locked with mine and he started walking towards me
"Hey" He said and I shook my head
"I'm here to meet someone, I don't have time for this" I said trying to walk past him
"You're here to meet me" he said making me stop in my footstep and turn back to face him
"And what could you want" I asked crossing my arms
"I just felt like you needed an explanation" He muttered making me scoff
"An explanation for why you guys have decided to isolate me? You aren't the first team to do that and you certainly won't be the last" I mumbled
"Listen Lucy" He started and I shook my head
"You listen to me, I'm not just some stupid little girl, I'm not just my fathers daughter. I'm a god damn person and if you lot can't respect that. Maybe it's good that you did this, maybe this is what was meant to happen" I said before walking away, I didn't give him a chance to talk any further. I didn't want to hear anything he had to say, he brought this on his self
