Scoring Hearts

Today is Sunday, and the boys have a game. Logan invited my family and his family to sit in Kop's seats for the match. Logan had to leave the house early to get to Anfield. He woke up before me and took a play out of my book, writing me a note to wake up to. The young Scouse left, but not without kissing me on the cheek and hugging his family goodbye.

I woke up about an hour after Logan left. I noticed a note on top of a red piece of clothing and an envelope. I picked it up, and the note said, "Good morning darling. I am sorry that I left without saying goodbye, but I didn't want to wake you while you were sleeping. I can't wait to see you cheering at my game for the first time. If you open the envelope, you will see 11 tickets for the front at Anfield. I just wanted you to remember your first game watching me play. I want you and your family to be as close as possible and sit where your family has always dreamed of, just like your dad says, 'If I ever went to a Liverpool game, I would want to be sitting in the Kop screaming our fucking heads off.' I wanted it to be the best time your family can have at a match. PS. That is one of my jerseys that you can wear and keep since I don't wear it this year. Yours, L" I put on the jersey, white jeans, and my shoes and went to go get in the car to watch Logan and the boys play. I was so excited, but who was even more excited was Pop and my dad. They screamed their heads off the whole time and chanted as loud as they could. We all started crying while singing "You'll Never Walk Alone". These moments were core memories for everyone there that day.

The boys were playing amazing out there today. Liverpool and City are close to the table, and it is terrifying for anyone supporting or playing for Liverpool.

The match ended, and we waited to leave our seats until lots of people left. The family went to the locker room to congratulate the boys on their win today. The game was everything the family thought it would be and better. Logan and Andy got lots of assists and created amazing crosses. The Williams had always dreamed of watching them this close but never thought it would come true.

They walked in, and once Logan saw his girl, he sprinted to me immediately. He hugged me, picked me up, and spun me around.

"So, this is our new hello I'm guessing," I said with a smile. "I like showing you off, so yes, it's now our new hello," the cheeky Scouse said.

My family was star-struck walking into that locker room. They met the players they never even imagined meeting too. You would think having one of the players as your son and another as a third child to them, that they would have met the boys but not until walking into that locker room. They talked with players for quite a while and ended up getting invited to go drinking with them later that night. No one in their right mind would say no to a chance like that. We all said yes and went drinking with the team.

Everyone had the best time, and I ended up making more best friends on the team. The families had a great time with the boys and couldn't believe the memories they had just made. The boys would come up to me and talk about how much they loved my family. It made me so happy that they loved my family. The night ends, and everyone goes home. "You did amazing at your game, Logan. I am so proud of you," I said.

He looked at me with the same loving look as always and said, "I did it for you. I have dedicated every game to you since we became exclusive. So really I should be thanking you." We talked some more, then kissed and went to bed in each other's arms.

The past 2 weeks, the Williams spent their time in Liverpool with the boys and the Parkers. They loved watching Logan, Oliver, and Andy's relationship. It made all the families happy watching them act like brothers. They went to the games and practices; they screamed their hearts out and were the happiest bunch you would see. The person who was the happiest was Logan, watching his girl in his jersey supporting him no matter how he played.

I went to go grocery shopping for the family with Dad. We loved being able to get treats that mom did not always approve of. When we got back Mom and Logan were in the kitchen making dinner. Mom had not heard us come in, but I could hear her say, "So I assume you will be coming with us to Italy this year to Lake Como?" I heard logan reply, "I'm not even her boyfriend yet, but I do appreciate the offer." Mom replied, "I know my daughter, she cares about you way more than she lets anyone know. She just has her guard up incase she gets hurt so she can pretend it doesn't hurt." He responded, "I'll take your word for it." Dad and I walked in, "What's for dinner it smells delicious?" Dad asked, "We are making nanny's soup and buttered bread for Logan."

It was October 23rd, it was time for the Williams to leave Liverpool and go back to Glasgow. The families promised to try and see each other as much as possible. They all realized they had made best friends for life, that connection was a rare one to find. The Williams family got packed up and ready to leave for the train station. None of them wanted to go home especially not me. But I had to go back to university and complete my last year of school. Logan ended up driving Nanny Pop and me. Oliver drove Donnie, Shannon, Davie, and Kirsti to the train station. No one wanted to say goodbye to the two boys but they had to. Both Logan and I started to cry while saying goodbye. Logan pulled me in for a kiss that I would remember the whole time we were apart.

"I'm going to miss you so much," I said with tears rolling down my cheeks. "I'm going to miss you more, but you have to go back and complete school. It's your dream," he said wiping my tears away. I didn't realize how much the boy knew me till he didn't try and force me to stay. I knew he was the most supportive person I could ask for. They hugged until I had to board the train. Once again waving to each other until they were both far in the distance. I sat in between my Nanny and Pop because they could make me happy by simply sitting next to me.
