You and I

Chapter 35

The stands where completely packed with both home and away supporters cheering with foam fingers and the school mascot was performing with the cheerleading team we got good seats not that I spend anytime in it once the game starts im up and down like a yoyo. "You sure I looked good" Connor shouted at me "Yes very handsome now go get ready" he had chosen a navy blue two piece suit. I had just enough time to change and do my hair and paint a very wobbly 24 on my cheek. Olivia took a photo of us as it Game that the boys would have as collage students, she also pointed to where three scouts sat in the box looking very professional in there suits. I was brought back to the game when Able came busting through the banner followed by his team after a pep talk and they all toke there starting positions. The twins sat on the sub bench like a secret weapon ready to deploy anytime coach needed. The first half was over and we where up by three points thanks to a late conversation.

There was some dispute over the last couple of points from the team captain the same guy from the party who called me a slut, I was so impressed that Abel could keep his head in the game and not get distracted by the way the guy tried to taunt with him. I told Abel over the phone before the game "Im yours don't let anyone tell you otherwise" I hoped he remembered that as the insults kept coming even though the second half. The second half was rough compared to the first I don't know what was in the water but it all turned them into beasts. Connor went tumbling to the ground as he smashed into a guy, but still held on to the ball for dear life the line up where good and clean but the away team started playing dirty, targeting our strongest player and unlucky Abel had a barrel of knocks, blows and bad tackles they had to stop play at one point because there was a gash on the side of his head from when he had impact with someones knee or boot I can't remember it all happened so fast.

three minutes left of the game, I didn't feel my self breathe Olivia was in such a state too everyone cheering the team on needing one more point, they one the scrum and we got the ball again and this time the charge was on Abel ducked in and out weaving around people trying to reach for his legs but his speed was incredible, Connor was at his right ready if needed. Abel kept pumping his legs faster until he was over the white line and he slammed the ball down so hard I was shocked there wasn't a dent in the ground.

The stadium up roared drinks where getting sprayed, people hugging one another me and Olivia jumped up and down seeing the score board our boys did it they where champions. looking over at the team who all bundled on top of one another smiles beaming from ear to ear Abels face was something I never want to erase from my memory in that moment he was happy and life for him seemed to be going somewhere no panic of his brothers the pressure was of from his dad. He won for him and no one else.

As soon as it was safe to do so I ran on the pitched and leaped up into his arms call me crazy but I loved the way he was after a game his hair messy, he was hot and sticky smelled like fresh cut grass I held on to him so much I was so proud of him "Twenty for you did it " his arms nearly crushed me the way he was holding me but I didn't care this was Abel he was alive on the rugby pitch. James was doing the same thing to Olivia and for once she shut up and was just in the moment with him.

Our moment was cut short by a guy calling me a little slut again I didn't have to turn around to know. Number fourteen was baring his teeth, Abel placed me back on the ground took my hand and kept walking passed the guy who was being a dick to him all game. We left him on the field to deal with loosing. Able walked hand in hand with me with his teammates back to the changing room. "You wait with Liv il be out soon" He kissed me on the forehead as he went in. The was such a loud cheer and chants it was hard for Me and Olivia to talk we moved to a more quite spot stood outside the staidium waiting still smiling like crazy we both agreed that we still didn't get aspects of the game but knew enough to hold a conversation with the lads.I was so proud of how Abel handled him self all game. I wasn't changing him but the older version of him would of beat the shit out of the guy for taunting him just once let alone all game.

"Oi sweetheart your man won because he cheated" the guy approached us again "Oi slut did you hear me?" I looked up at him his face was all dirty and his breath was heavy "My man didnt cheat " his face got very red with anger "He cheated, busy thinking of those tits I bet" I pushed him away from me as I could feel his breath on mine "Just go ok!" Olivia shouted but he wasn't getting the message. I could see that coach was coming up with some of the team discussing the match. Olivia ran for him leaving me with this piece of dirt in front of me eyes glowing and his pants becoming faster. "You need to go please" he smiled "Sweet words coming from such a dirty mouth" I felt so uneasy with him so close, I tried this time to push him further away but with no luck. He stepped within inches of my face now and I felt sick to my stomach. I put my head down so he couldn't see the tears forming in my eyes. "Please stop" me plea was pitiful with how I let him now he got to me with my shaky words. "Oh slut i'm not going to stop his arm came above me like he was trapping me in. before he moved his face closer to mine a hand came over his shoulder pulling him away. "Time to get changed son, now" Coaches voice was stern and blunt on the last word. Minutes passed Olivia held me and hugged me tight. Coach made sure I was ok and then went to the bus.

A while later Abel came out the double doors, his big grin vanished as seeing that I was in a state he came rushing over "What happened?" his face puzzled Olivia explained everything word for word and mimed some of the actions by the time she finished I could see the anger build in him "Able don't please it will ruin your night i'm ok I promise" he wiped a tear rolling down my cheek and cupped my face "Dont cry princess you will mess my number" I smiled and he kissed me "still want to knock the living shit out of him for what he said and nearly did to you" I took his hand as we walked to the bus "Abel you won you did it" The drive back to his was long, after getting of the bus then hopping into his car. We just had the after party to attend. Rob had it all planned out on the way back calling in favours. When we pulled up at Ables there was all manor of cars there, house made a beautiful backdrop to the flashing lights, loud music.
