-the next day-
-Manchester-
-Zuriels Pov-

I woke up and looked next to me too see Tom was already downstairs so I stood up and went down to see him, "good morning" I smiled as I saw him sitting on the kitchen table.

"Morning, we need to talk" he said and I nodded taking a seat opposite him, "Why did you go to that party?" He asked and I sighed my breath shaking from the anxiety.

"Sorry, my mum told me I had to go, he is my best friend" I explained,
"He was your best friend Zuri. Remember what he did to you?" He said, having a very valid point.

"I know, I feel bad though, they're like my family" I replied as Tom took my hand, "If he saw you like family he wouldn't hurt you the way that he did."

"He didn't mean to though.." I began but Tom cut me off, "but he did Zuriel, your so kind that you chose to believe it was a mistake, He's toxic, He's hurt you, and me too, he fucked up my life"

"Yeah, I guess" I replied fiddling with my necklace, "Zuri look at me baby..." Tom spoke as I slowly looked up towards him.

"I don't want you near him okay, if he ever tries to talk you, tell me straight away,yeah?" He said,
"Yeah I will do" I replied and he nodded,
"Good, I care about you so much, I don't want you to get hurt again"

"Want to watch a movie and make pancakes for breakfast?" I asked him and he nodded, we both stood up and went to the kitchen counter. Tom got out all the ingredients as I started to measure the stuff out, once everything was in the bowl I began to mix.

"Here let me" Tom said after noticing my arm was getting tired, "thanks I smiled" as he began to mix the rest of the batter. Once it was mixed we poured it into the pan and let them cook before taking it in turn to flip them.

"You ready to go watch a movie?" Tom asked after we had finished cooking and tidying everything away, "yesss!" I exclaimed and he laughed following me through to the living room.

We chose a movie neither of us had watched yet and we were both enjoying it, midway through the doorbell rang so Tom stood up grabbing the remote to pause the moving, the tv remote had be dogey lately and needed batteries.
"Why is it not fucking working!" Tom groaned spamming the pause button, "for fucks sake!" He shouted slamming the tv remote against the sofa in an attempt to fix it.

"Hey Tom, calm down" I spoke softly taking the remote out his hand and placing it on the side before something or someone got hurt, "I don't mind missing it, you stay here and continue watching I'll get the door" I said walking off down the hall.

I opened the door and took the parcel of the post man and then closed it coming back to the living room, "hey, your package c-"
"What the hell happened!" I exclaimed looking at the smashed Tv and Tom sat with his hands in his head infront of it.

"My brother brought us that!" I exclaimed and Tom groaned, "I know, I'm not dumb"
"Well you must be because you know throwing something at it will break it!" I yelled as he stood up. "Will you ever learn to shut your mouth" he said angrily walking past me, baring into the injured shoulder on the way out leaving me stood there in shock.

-August 2021-
-four days later-
-Manchester-
-Jadon's Pov-

"Jadon you're up!" Erik called making me stand up from the bench. I had warmed up a few minutes ago so I did a few jumps and put on my shirt.

"Jadon, stay at top, I don't want to see you past that half way line, the other will follow if they see you doing it" Erik instructed and I nodded.

The referee blew his whistle and I was subbed on, I ran onto the pitch and got into my position.
I listen to ten hag and stayed up, when Marcus had the ball I called for it and he passed.

I ran with the ball up to towards the goal, it was me vs the goal keeper but if I shot it wouldn't be guaranteed so I passed to Bruno next to me, wich took the keeper by shock as the ball hit the back of the net.

We all ran and celebrated the winning goal, before getting back into the pitch there wasn't much time left at all. Once the fall time whistle blew the stadium erupted with cheers as I began to clap the fans.

"Jadon!" I heard a voice cheer as the full time whistle blew, "well done brother!" Marcus exclaimed as him and Jesse came running over to me. "Assist on his debute he's cooking" Jesse gassed whilst filming a video making me laugh.

"Thank you guys" I smiled and they both nodded
"Course brother" Marcus smiled, "this is your redemption" he smiled.

We then went into the locker room and got changed before heading up to our boxes

"Jadon I'm so proud of you baby!" My mum exclaimed jumping on me as soon as I entered our box, "thanks mum" I laughed hugging her back.

"well played Jadon" My dad said giving me a hug, "Thank you dad" I smiled back and he nodded.

We stayed talking for a bit before heading home for dinner, I check my message I sent to Zuriel just saying how nice it was to see her but I had been left on opened. I thought I would have if least got a reply as she didn't seem to be mad at me for anything but I guess not.

We arrived home and my cooked us food whilst me and my dad watched my match highlights seeing where I can improve.

After dinner I went up to bed and got in straight away, I was exhausted as I had hardly slept last night as I was stressing for the game.

In the morning I woke up and posted some pictures from the match yesterday on my story,
When a text came through.

It was from tyreese.
Why would tyreese be texting me?
