Chapter 10

I don't think my eyes were shut for long but I was woken by a sudden cheer. Once again my team had scored and it was turning out to be a good result. If we won this game we were through to the next round of the league cup... the semi- finals. We were never usually lucky with cup games, we always seemed to be drawn against really good teams but this time we were lucky.

I was still lying on the ground but the first aid bag was no support my foot. My head was also still propped up by Finnley. 

"Are you ok? I'm not crushing your legs am I?"

"No it's fine as long as you're ok." he smiled down and I nodded before returning to watch the game.

We eventually won the game 6v0 which meant we were through to our first semi-final!

I sat up and tried to stand up.

"Hey Roxy be careful." Stacey shouted as she grabbed my arm. She grabbed under my won arm and Joey grabbed under the other as Finnley pushed me up. Slowly I was on my foot not wanting to risk pain on the other foot. But it was still painful.

"Here let me help." Finnley took over from Stacey and he nodded to Joey. They put my arms around their heads and placed their arms under my legs and lifted me up.

I felt like the queen. They carried me back to the stand and placed me down gently on a seat.

"How's the foot?" my coach asked.

"Still painful. Do I have to go to hospital?"

"I think it would be wise Roxy. Shame you couldn't have stayed on for the whole game. You would have definitely had a hat-trick maybe more." that made me smile but it didn't take the pain away.

I really wanted to go back to the pub with the team but my parents took me to hospital just to check my foot wasn't too bad.

~*~

I hated hospitals. They reminded me of the time my dad was in and I'd rather forget about that. I only needed crutches to help me stay off my foot but luckily no broken bones.

I got back home and just wanted to rest my feet and relax. I switched on the TV and the football was starting. It took us ages to get back from the hospital and the traffic was a nightmare. The fire was roaring and I was nice and cosy.

There was a knock on the door. Mum went to answer it and I could hear her talking to some guy but I couldn't make out who it was.

"Come in. She's just putting her feet up."

"Who is it mum?"

"Well well well. Look who's on their arse again."

"You're not funny Aaron." but I had to smile.

"Do you want a drink Aaron?"

"No I'm fine thank you Mrs Jenkins I won't stay long, let Roxy relax."

"Hey am I not allowed anything?"

"What did your last slave die of?" mum said messing with me.

"They haven't died yet." I replied with a cheesy, "Can I have a drink pwease?"

"Go on then." mum left the room and I turned the sound down on the TV.

"So what'd they say at the hospital?"

"Thankfully it's not broken I've just got to keep my weight off it."

"Are you in school tomorrow?"

"Hopefully I will be if my parents let me but I wouldn't go on the bus."

"Well we could give you a lift. Mum had to go up to town anyway to get some shopping."

"Well that would be great Aaron if it's not too much trouble."

"Of course not and it will give me someone to talk to on the way."

Mum came back in with my drink. "Would it be ok if Aaron's mum took me to school tomorrow save you going up to town?"

"I can't see why not if it's ok with her."

"Yeah she'll be fine Mrs Jenkins."

"Please Aaron call me Linda." mum left the room and we carried on talking.

He stayed for over an hour and the footy was nearly over.

"I better be going it's getting quite late and I have to walk home. I'll see you in the morning. We'll be around about 8.30ish. I'll text you as we're leaving."

"Ok cheers Aaron it was nice of you to come round." I went to grab my crutches to get up.

"No don't get up I'll see myself out. Take care of yourself Roxanne." he leant down and kissed me softly on the forehead. He flashed a cheeky smile and walked out the door. I heard him say bye to my mum and left.

My heart felt all flustered and my stomach felt they had massive ninja butterflies float around in it. What was this feeling that was taking over my body.

Was it a great friendship?

Or was it something more?
