The Bad-Boys Roommate

Tears and Terrors

Okay Bella, it's only one goal and you're in the team, the boys team to be exact!

Jaden thankfully started me off pretty easily, I guess because he had low expectations of me but I can gladly say they were all amazed at how good I was. We started with simple passing, then tackling and the penalties which we are still on at the moment. Harry was the goalkeeper and he couldn't have been more determined to not let me in the team. His argument was this was a boys team for a reason and a girl wouldn't be able to survive in it, sexist much?

His constant moaning and arguing only made me more determined to get into the team and prove to all of the boys who doubted my skill that I can do it. Jaden pushed me gently from behind to nudge me towards the ball which was set up in front of the goal. Harry takes a deep breath before shaking his head and then quickly getting into his goalkeeper position with his hands out wide and legs spread apart.

"Good Luck," I hear Jaden quietly whisper into my ear and I smile slightly at the confidence that little encouragement gave me. I take 3 steps back and prepare for the kick. I count to three in my head and then run forward towards the ball, then when I'm about 2 steps away i lift my back leg ready to kick the ball in front of me when suddenly I slip and fall to the floor.

"What the fuck?!" I mutter under my breath.

My cheeks go a deep red when i realise the boys are all standing behind me laughing their heads off. Damn them stupid boys.

Wait, does this mean I'm not in the team? Without realising a small tear slips out the corner of my eye and down my cheek. I was so confident with my football skills I didn't even consider the chance of me not getting in. The boys go quiet when they hear my small sniffle so I take this as my chance to leave. I quickly hop up from my spot in the mud and run towards the changing room. I hear one of the boys come after me but i run into the girls changing room so they can't come in.

I sit up on the small ledge near the sinks while letting my legs dangle, i just need to be alone.

Suddenly I hear the door swing open and i roll my eyes, you seriously had to come after me, Tyler? To my surprise, it was Jaden who came round the corner looking worried. His eyes widen when they see the crying state I'm in and i quickly turn away to limit my embarrassment.

"Don't turn away," He tells me while coming over and grabbing my hands that were rested lightly in my lap. "Bella?" 

I turn my head and look straight into his dark brown eyes while he looked straight back into my bright blue ones. 

"You aren't allowed in here Jaden," I tell him and he scoffs.

"Like I care,"

"Oh yeah, I forgot you're the bad-boy," I force a laugh which causes him to grin slightly too.

"I guess I am quite Bad-boyish," I scoff at his words and he laughs.

"Can you leave? i just want to be alone," 

"Nobody want's to be alone," He says quietly under his breath and I can't stop the corners of my mouth tugging up into a smile. 

"Is that a frozen quote?" His eyes widen realise I heard him and I break out into fits of laughter. I can't quite believe it: here I am with the baddest boy I have ever met, who has piercings, dark hair and probably a tattoo somewhere and he just used a quote from frozen to try and cheer me up. Geez, this boy will never fail to surprise me.

"Bella, let's just get out of here." He says after about 5 minutes of me laughing and hyperventilating, i'm pretty sure at one point I was ready to pass out from lack of breath.

"Fine," I jump down from the ledge and he latches his hand around my waist and leads me out of the changing room, both of us still in our kit.

"wait I need to get changed," I tell him just before we leave because honestly i smell and look like shit. 

"Fine I'll be outside,"

It wasn't long before I was showered, dress and no longer had tear stained cheeks. I swung the changing room door open to find all of the other boys waiting out there no longer in their kit, how do boys change so fast?

I look around the boys and i could see lots of different emotions on their faces while they stared back at me; annoyance, guilt and excitement. What's going on?

"We have something to tell you?" Tyler said from behind me making me shriek quietly and spin around to face him. I look at him expectantly and he just stares back at me, why did Cole have to have a younger brother? "You're on the team!!" He yells suddenly and quickly hugs me.

My heart beats rapidly from my chest and I'm too surprised to hug him back. He pulls away and I'm quickly pulled into a hug from Ace and Cole who squeeze me tightly, obviously excited to have me on the team with them. I was talking to Ace earlier and he was telling me how boring the team is with only girls so I know he's going to enjoy this almost as much as me.

"Geez, for tough boys you sure do like a hug," I tell them while laughing which makes them quickly pull away and flex their muscles or do something boyish.

"Dude, we need to get our manliness back," Cole whispers to Ace quietly thinking we couldn't hear and Ace nods vigorously in return. "we are just going to pop to the gym," 

Ace and Cole almost run off but the rest of the team congratulate me, however, the twins don't look too excited that I'll be joining the team but i just shrug them off because i can't let anyone ruin my happiness at the moment.

By the time Jaden and I get back to the flats its almost 7 meaning we have been at school for like 11 hours, yeah you should feel bad for me.

I'd been teasing him the whole way home about the frozen quote and it turns out he actually really likes the film! 

"So why did you watch it in the first place?"

"I watched it with my little sister," He mutters and i 'Awww' him.

"Aw did you take her to the cinema like a good big brother?" I tease and lift my hand up to squeeze his cheek but he quickly slaps it away.

"Oi that hurt," i said why jokingly rubbing my hand. He laughs and says, "You'll get over it, come on."

He drags me by the wrist to the end of the corridor where our apartment is and the  flies open before either of us touch the handle. Standing in our apartment are five guys dressed in black jeans and white tops who are all surrounding a man wearing a black shirt and black jeans also. This man looks vaguely familiar but i cant put a finger on who it is.

I gasp as I see the silver gun he's holding casually in his left hand. His index finger keeps hovering over the trigger but he doesn't seem to want to pull it. Before I knew it, I was being dragged once again into my own apartment but this time by one of the men in the white shirts. I look behind me to Jaden who is also being dragged in while giving death glares to the men but my head is quickly tugged in the direction of the man in the middle. I'm pushed down onto the sofa and Jaden is pushed down next to me.

"So you haven't told her?" He asks Jaden slowly and it's then when I realise that Jaden must know this guy, I mean I knew he was shady but not this shady. Jaden grunts in response. Tell me what?

"Oh well, its a pleasure to meet you," the man in black sticks his hand out for me to shake but I can see Jaden glaring at me from the corner of my eye so I choose to ignore the gesture. "I'm Wayne Mann,"

Mann?

"Jaden's Dad."
