"Katie! Come on we're going to be late for the game!" Carlos yelled from downstairs.

The young woman rolled her eyes as she applied her lipstick "in a minute!" She answered to her father.

It was Carlos birthday present, they promised him (her mother made her go) to go to watch football game with him and spend the night as family together.

Katie wished that they would do something more fun than just sit in the stadium and listening the roars of the crowd. Which she finds it annoying.

Allison comes up to check on her daughter and knock on the door "hey you okay my dear?" The mother asked.

Katie nodded and smiled "y-yeah let's go" she said as she grabbed her purse and walked downstairs towards the car with her mother.

Both of them get in the car as the other Torres already waited for them. Carlos smiles widely and adjust the back mirror "ready?" He asked enthusiastically.

"READY!!" all of the other Torres answers him energetically.

Katie put on earphone and listen to her favourite music, Space by Diddy and H.E.R. She always be a fan of H.E.R. The memories she had 3 years ago was the most memorable for her.

Apart from being scared among the crowds, she's grateful her mother founded her and save her from there. She can't believe H.E.R let both of them share the stage with her.

"And we're here! Let's go guys! Woohoo!!" Carlos pumped in excitement as he gets out of the car.

Nando look at his sister who fell asleep during the ride and gently woke her up "sis..wake up. We've arrived" he said.

"Get up~ Get up~" Ellie ,the youngest Torres ,their youngest daughter and sister, helped Nando waking up the oldest one.

Slowly Katie opened her eyes and look around "where are we?" She asked.

"Stadium" Nando answered.

She gets out of the car followed by her siblings and look around. It is not the stadium she's familiar with "where exactly are we?" She asked as she yawned slowly covering her mouth.

Allison and Carlos smiles mischievously and chuckles slowly.

The mother walked to her "honey..we're at-" "LOS ANGELES!!" The husband cuts his wife as he said out loud.

"What?!" Katie said in disbelief.

"You mean we spends almost 4 hours driving from home just to see the game here???" She continued.

Carlos wrapped put his hands on his daughter's shoulders trying to calm her down "come on~ be happy we get to spend my birthday out from California. Also you've always said you want to come here right??" He said.

"Yeah for the concerts. Not this stupid game" She said sounding annoyed.

Allison sensed that it's not going to calm her oldest down and pulled her away from the other Torres "hey. It's your father's birthday. At least be thankful that he still thinks about you. Also the tickets for the game are gifts from my friend. I do my part already. So let's get inside and enjoy the game." She said.

Katie sighed and walked towards the gate as she crossed her arms. The others followed her afterwards.

~~~~~

"Excuse me,sorry.sorry ,excuse" Allison said as she guided her family members to their seats.

The woman sat down and the husband sat next to her, followed by the oldest daughter, their son and the youngest daughter.

"Can you believe them?!" Katie whispered to her brother.

"Yeah" Nando replied as he look around through the crowd in the stadium.

"I can't believe that they always said no whenever I plead them to let me go to the concert here and finally brought me here for the stupid game. Plus it's not even pro players games. Just bunch of girls chase after one ball" Katie said.

"Wow Katie..you're saying girls can't play as well as the boys?" Nando questioned his sister as he turned to look at her.

Katie knew her choices of words are wrong there and apologised to what she just said "fine...now I'm the one being annoying. Sorry" she said.

"Nando! Nando! I want popcorn!" Ellie said as she pulls her brother's shirt at the side.

Nando smiles and look at his father "Dad! Ellie wants popcorn!" He said slightly screamed at his father as it is hard to talk in the crowd.

Carlos gave a thumbs up saying he heard him and go buy some food and beverages for his family.

Soon the game started with the players all entering the field. The crowd started to roars for the teams that they support.

For some reason,Katie started to enjoy the vibe coming from the crowd.

"Are the crowds always crazy like this?" Katie asked.

"Just wait till one of the players goal the ball in" Allison said as she took a sip of her drink.

The game started as referee blew her whistle. The crowd keeps on chanting for their team. The game commentator keeps updating what's happening on the game.

"And CC Walker taking the lead as the ball pass to her-"

Katie's eyes glued to that one specific player "who...who is she?" She asked her brother as she scooted closer, her eyes still glued to that player.

"That's CC Walker. The commentator did mention just now. Did you even watch the game right now?" He asked.

"Oh yeah yeah. My mind was elsewhere" she said.

"I heard she just got recruited for the national team. Good for her, she do play well" Nando said as he chew down his hot dog.

"Nando! I cannot open this soda" Ellie gave the can to her brother.

He took it and opens it for her "here" he said as he smiles.

"There she is again moving forward like a lightning- she kicked the ball and-GOAALLLL!!! CC Walker has made it again!"

The crowds roar louder than before. Other people including the Torres celebrates the first goal. Except for Katie, she just froze there as her eyes still glued towards CC Walker.
