Chapter 17: ....

God this was so hard to write. I know in the actual timeline of events this took two weeks, but I couldn't drag it out that long, and once we get to a certain point you will understand why. But on the other hand this is a decent chapter. I also left the title as a set of ellipses points, because what could any of us say, not because I didn't title it. Anyways, I have a few more chapters until another point is hit, so I need to figure out some plot details so I can get writing. Which means, this may be the last update for a couple days. Thank you for reviewing and have a great day!

Anne POV

I crack open a diet coke at Nicole's soccer game and tug at my sleeves. My dad has an arm around my shoulder and squeezes my shoulder, while Niall has a snap back and glasses on. I watch as someone tries to score on them and Nicole lunges in front of them and steals it back. She turns around their side and kicks it straight pass midfield letting a forward steal it back. I squeeze my own hand tightly as I watch them fight for the ball and try for a goal. They shoot and the goalie grabs it, only to let it drop. Our forward rushes the goal gets the ball and shoots before getting ran into by the other team. I grit my teeth and wait for her to get up.

"Come on Kat, get up." I grumble and she slowly pushes herself to a standing position where she shuffles herself to the side of the field where she grabs a water. I breathe a sigh of relief and Nicole shouts something at the defense. We have thirty seconds left and are tied. I shoot Louis a text with the score. He wanted to come with Niall and I but he knew that having 2/5 in the same area along with one of the girlfriends was a really bad decision. He texts me back excitedly.

Louis: OMG IF THEY WIN

Louis: THAT WOULD BE SO COOL

Louis: AND IT'S FOOTY SO XD

Anne: Okay babe lol XD

Niall shouts and jumps as the team makes the winning goal. I grab his arm and he jumps up and down like a child.

"They just won!" He says in the middle of the commotion. I laugh and hug him so happy for Nicole. She runs off the field to us and grabs ahold of me.

"We won! We're going to finals!" She shouts. I laugh and hug her and she hugs me back.

"Go back to your team!" I say and she runs back pulling her hair down. Her entire team gets together and does their chant three times before screaming. I smile at them and Niall has a giant grin on his face.

"When's the next game?" he asks and I look to mum.

"Tonight at 5. God I hope they win for them." She says quietly. I know she dislikes the traveling, I always did too. It's getting muggy and I grab my shrug and pull it off holding it around my arms. Niall looks at me with a little shock, but I shake my head at him.

"They don't know." I whisper and he nods. Nicole runs back to us with her bag and she starts to ramble about the game.

"Oh and we are going to Panera for lunch since we have an early game." She says looking at me. "Are you gonna come?" She asks. I look to Niall and he shrugs.

"The rest of them are asleep, except Louis whose staying up because Doncaster is playing in the next twenty minutes." He says and I laugh to myself.

"Doesn't he have a contract with them?" My mum asks and I nod.

"Yeah, but he's been so busy with the band, he can't get the time to go play." I say. Nicole nods.

"Besides he plays on tour with the boys all the time." She says. Me and her exchange glances and Niall sighs.
