Making a Difference (sequel to PDA)

Ch. 3: Making up excuses

~Albany~

Tonight was the big football game for the boys. Next week was for the girls. My secret boyfriend Andy was the star player along with Christian. Without those two players, the school football team wouldn't win or even got in the championships and managed to win it all those years that Andy and Christian was on the team. Every year the Malik's aka my family, the Styles and now that Niall and Louis is back in town, they probably going to come to every football games. It's too bad that my dad is at home though but I don't blame him to the fact that he has a little bun in his oven with my little sibling. My papa name is Zayn and my dad name is Liam. Anyway since my dad was at home resting it was up to my papa to come see the game and tell my dad all about how the game went. I was leaning against the fence talking to Andy. "You excited for the big game" I asked him. "I would be if Christian wasn't such a great striker and i just play the goalie" Andy sighed out loud. "Hey there's nothing wrong with being the goalie" I commented to him. "Say the person who plays as the striker for the girls football team not the goalie" Andy crossed his arms. "Oh come on that's not fair" I complained to him. "I just happened to be good at football, it runs in my family" I mumbled to him before I started walking into the stadium. Andy pulled me back. "Look babe I'm sorry. I was rude. Please forgive me" Andy pouted at me. I punched his shoulder in a joking matter. He leaned in to kiss me. "Sorry babe not until you win the game" I told him. "Awe come on, I can't win without your kiss" Andy told me. I gave him a peck on the lips. "Thank you babe" Andy run off to the locker room. I waved bye to him while walking to the indoor stadium. I saw Uncle Niall was sitting by himself. I sat down next to him. "Uncle Niall" I stated to him. "Oh hey Albany" Uncle Niall smiled hugely at me. He grabbed me in for a hug. "How are you and where is everybody" I questioned him and he sighed. "Home, Uncle Lou went to New York for broadway show and Gracie doesn't like sports whatsoever" Uncle Niall stated to me. All of sudden I saw Uncle Niall being shoved with papers so he could sign them. Uncle Niall gave me a small smile. He just sat there while signing autographs. I sighed and looked at my Uncle Niall with an impressed look on my face. He didn't mind signing those autographs. I suppose it was going to happen since he is a big football player. He plays for the Derby County or was it Chelsea. It's hard to remember which team he's on. I'm pretty sure it now Chelsea, what I know. "Anyway I go by Al now by the way" I informed him and Uncle Niall just smiled at me. "You love that nickname now don't you" Uncle Niall pointed out to me and I just shrugged my shoulders. "Hey it's easier for people to say Al than Albany" I told him. "Hey I think that name is beautiful" My papa said to me and I rolled my eyes. "That's because you named me that" I pointed out to my papa. My papa sat down next to me so right now I was between Niall and my papa. "So I heard you on the girls football team and you play as a striker" Uncle Niall nudged me. "Who told you" I looked over at my papa. "Hey I didn't tell him anything" My papa put his hands up in surrender. "It was Liam who told me" Uncle Niall smiled at me. "He's proud that you on the football team" Uncle Niall continued to tell me. The whistle blew and I saw Uncle Harry and Aunt Cora standing up clapping as our team was coming out of the tunnel. The team was led by Christian followed by Andy. Aunt Cora was sitting next to my papa Zayn and next to her was Uncle Harry. Lilith and Levi was sitting next Uncle Harry. I tried to greet Uncle Harry and Aunt Cora but only Aunt Cora said hi to me. Uncle Harry on the other hand was frowning at me. Aunt Cora just mouthed sorry to me and I nodded. I sighed while looking down at my hands. I guess Uncle Harry is still upset with what I did to Lilith and it probably didn't help that she didn't come out to her parents that she was indeed a lesbo. I didn't mean to hurt anyone now my papa, my dad and now Uncle Harry isn't getting along at all and now it's my fault even Christian is upset with me. Christian was doing an excellent job on the goals and not to mention Andy was blocking the shots from the other team. I wanted to cheer for Andy badly but I couldn't do that with my papa here. He would know that I am dating and have a boyfriend. That wasn't allowed in my house. You supposed to wait till you are 18 and over to start dating. I think it's pretty stupid but whatever. So instead I cheered for Christian, his jersey number was 15. I guess to represent how long he's been in remission from leukemia. I caught Andy's eyes and he winked at me and I smiled to myself and I winked back at me. The time on the clock went down to the 5 minutes. The score was tied in that moment. Christian got the ball kicked to him and eventually he made a goal. The whole crowd cheered and my family and I were hugging each other. The game was officially over and the score with us ahead was 14-13. I ran down off the stands and onto the field. I hugged Christian tight. "Congrats Chris, you won" I told him. "Thanks Al but I'm still upset with you for what you did to my sister" Christian crossed his arms. "I'm sorry Christian" I told him and I honestly felt guilty for what I did to Lilith but I can't change it. "Don't worry Al! I won't tell anyone about you and Andy. I'm not you" Christian whispered in my ears before stepping away from me to hug his family, the rest of his family. I sighed while I started to talk to Brooklyn and Safire. I waited at the front gate and Andy came out of the locker room. He was changed. "Hey you were amazing" I told him and he smiled. "Let's go celebrate" Andy commanded me and I shook my head no. "I wish but I have homework to do" I stated to him. "Come on babe" Andy begged me and I shook my head no. He grabbed my arm and pulled me back to him. He flipped so he was basically on top of me. "Andy stop it you hurting me" I told him but he wouldn't let go. I begged him to let me go. For the first time I felt so scared and terrified. "Shut up" He slapped right across my face. I grabbed my face and I notice blood was dripping from my lip. "Christian" I screamed his name and Christian looked in my face. I mouthed help me. Christian pulled Andy away from me and I rubbed my arms which had bruises. Christian looked angry at him. "Don't ever touch her again Andrew" Christian pointed at Andy before taking me into his car. I felt the tears drip from my eyes. "Hey it's okay Al" Christian told me. "Yeah you're right. He didn't mean it" I told him and Christian sighed. "Honestly Al I think you need to break it off" Christian advised me and I rolled my eyes. "It was just once. He won't hurt me again" I again told him. Christian sighed. "I can't make you do something you don't want to" Christian said to me and I nodded. We were just sitting in the driveway of my house. "What you going to say to your parents" Christian asked me and I shrugged my shoulders. "I'll figure it out" I got out of the car and Christian told me something as well. "If he puts another hand on you. I will kill him" Christian pointed out to me and I nodded. "Thanks Christian" I kissed his cheek before going into my house. I opened the front door. "Where have you been" My dad asked me. "Out dad with a couple of friends. Christian drove me home" I informed him. "Albany Iris Aurora Malik what happened to your face" My dad asked me while examining my face. "I just ran into a door" I told him and my dad nodded.
