My Romeo is actually a girl

chapter two

The picture above is Paige

Alex's pov:
When we got to the field the ball was ours first, we set up our offensive line in blue 22 reverse.

Blue 22 reverse is when we have two linebackers streak then the halfback comes from the left and fakes a run to the right the I would take the ball to the left and get as many yards as possible.

We got set and the ball was hiked the linebackers streaked taking some of the defense to the back field Adams was there a second later then the freshman halfback rocketed to the right then I turned and ran as fast as I could
Past the line of scrimmage.

I went from the 45 to the 55 then all of a sudden the cornerback came in to view, he was huge maybe 6"2 at least 280 lbs.

I new I would get hurt if I let him plow into me. So I dropped my shoulder and kicked on the jets, when we were close enough he went to grab my shoulder pads and pull me down but I juked him and he dove now I had a straight away path to the in-zone. Seconds later the crowd was cheering loudly and I knew I made it.

My team ran up and we did the touchdown dance. We basically made a fool out of ourselves.
But it was worth it too see the look on her face.

We didn't want to put it too the field goal so we went for it a was an hb dive two extra points.
O-8 us.

------------------------------------------------------

Its now the ends of the fourth quarter the score is 0-56 us.

To make the night any better than than what it is I have 226 passing yards and 395 rushing yards and I scored a final touchdown with a qb sneak.

Everyone went wild, even though this was supposed to be an easy game they put up a good fight.

I was looking for that one person though, then I saw a flash of long silver hair running towards me, right as she jumped I caught her in my arms.

"Good job Sacha, you were amazing out there tonight" she whispers into my ear.

I hug her tighter and she flinched when I grabbed her hand.

I know that tonight she never fell once and I was with her at all of her practices she didn't fall then either.

"What happened now?" I asked her.

Her blinding smile faded and she looked nervous.
I lifted her sleeves and saw the bruises.

"Hey don't worry ok im fine" she said then.

This time I didn't, what I saw then made my blood boil
The bruises looked like hand prints around her wrists.

"What the hell are those paige"
I demanded, my anger was slowly growing by the minute

"I...uh..n-nothing, there nothing sacha"she was getting nervous.

"Paige lupins pines you better tell me what happened"

"He...he hurt me before the...the game thats why I was late."

She wouldn't tell me who he was but with her father in the military I knew It wouldn't be him so that left one other person. Jay Thompson, her boyfriend.

"It was him wasnt it"

All she did was nod.
That was it. My resolve broke.

She looked into my eyes and flinched.

Then she nodded.

I let her go and grabbed her chin to make her look up at me.

"Im going to kill him"
She nodded once more, I grabbed her hand and led her to the now empty locker room and sat her down in my lap, the tears burst from her eyes soaking my jersey.

But I didn't care she needs to let this out, they have been together for 4 years so who knows how long this went one.

By the time she was done crying I knew I had to ask the unavoidable question, we both did.

"How long?" She looked at me then looked down as if embarrassed to admit it

"Since we started dating back in freshman year he was always a little rough with me and when we were juniors he wanted me to be with him sexually I said no and thats when it all started."

She had to stop and breath her eyes glazed over remembering the traumatizing events.

"I-I had....I was pregnant twice and they were both miscarriages....he-he beat me when I told him... all he would was hit and kick me in the stomach...it h-hurt so b-bad Sacha" she was crying harder than before.

And when she looked up at me her eyes softened

"Dont cry sacha" then she raises her hand and with the pad of her thumbs whipped the tears I didnt know were falling, away.

"God your so strong paige, how could you live through that and still put a smile on your face every day" I then pulled her closer.

"Cause even if he did that I would always get to see you. Knowing that everyday I would come here to see you smile, and laugh, thats what helped me thats what kept me here you are my rock and-and I...love you."

Did-did I just hear that right.
The girl of my dreams just said she loved me, no thats impossible, she just mean it in a friendly way. But the way she looked at me when she did.

I continued to argue with myself.
I couldnt tell if she meant to say that in a friendly kinda way or and "I love you let's go out" kinda way. Ughh why does she have to confuse me

"Sacha" I looked up at her with this look that says everything she needed to know.

What she saw in my eyes was confusion,want and most importantly love.

I knew that what I had to do, so I leaned in and kissed her lips
Hard.
