Niall's POV

She breaks the kiss.

"We have a game tonight." she says.

"Yeah, I heard."

"So?" she asks awkwardly.

"Watcha wanna do?"

"Let's get ready for the game. We'll have to be there soon." she answers.

***

"Let's go!" Julie yells from down stairs. The boys and I poke our heads out of our rooms at the same time and run down stairs.

We run outside and find Julie already in the car. I hop into the passenger seat and the boys get in the back.

"Ready?" she asks.

"Yep!" we all answer.

She starts the car and pulls out of her driveway.

I push the button on the dashboard and music fills the car.

"Blah, I don't like this song." Louis complains.

"Me eighter." Julie agrees and reaches he hand backwards in a fist. Louis leans forward and bumps his fist against hers and she chuckles softly, keeping her attention to the road.

I turn the button and the station changes.

"Now, Story Of My Life, by One Direction is up next." the voice on the radio says. The music fills the car again and I reach for the button to change it again. Before I can turn the button Julies puts my hand on mine.

"Don't change it. I like this song." she smirks, releasing her grip on my hand and putting her attention the road.

Julie grabs her ball, water bottle and pulls the keys out of the car and runs to the feild, leaving us behind.

"What kind of hurry is she in?" Harry asks.

"Dunno." I reply shrugging my shoulders.

We catch up to Julie.. she is hugging some guy I didn't know.

"Who's this?" I ask bluntly, Julie quickly let's go of the boy and looks at me.

"This is... Brandon." she hesitates. "He's the best soccer player on the boys' team at school."

"Okay, and what's he doing here?" I ask examining his body. He is tall, brown hair and green eyes.

"Came to watch." she replies.

I pull her to the side to speak privatly.

"Do you like this boy?" I ask. She looks at me and her eyes widened.

"W-what? N-no." she stutters.

"You're lying."

"No! I use to like him okay? But now it's only you." she says grabbing onto my hand.

"What do you mean 'use to'?" I ask.

"He's my ex-boyfriend. He was a complete jerk. I broke up with him and he'll never leave me alone about it. He keeps begging to get back toether with me, but you don't have to worry. I'm actually really mad he's here." she explains.

"You're mine." I whisper, letting go of her hand and walking to the bench where the rest of the team was sitting, listening to coach Blue give us a lecture, as Julie's dad (Mr. Jones) stands beside him. I look over and see Brandon, Dylan, Josh, Ally, Jess and Sammy exiting the field to get there seat in the stands.

Julie walks over to her dad but I can't hear what they are saying. But they keep motioning to Brandon. Mr. Jones smiles everytime he looks up at Brandon. I assume Julie's dad likes this boy, and probably wanted them to get back together. I'm not sure why he doesn't like me but I will never let Julie get back together with that complete douche.

She walks away from her dad, obviously annoyed and joins the team on the bench. Coach Blue finishes his 'pre game lecture' and gives us the game board, which has a picture of the soccer field on it, with our names placed in the possition we'll be playing.

I scan for my name and find it next to Julie's. YES! We're next to each other in forward / offence possition.

We do our group chant and the players that play the first half, run onto the field, including Julie and I. Julie stands in the middle of the feild, with the ball by her feet. Harry on her right and I on her left. The referee blows his whistle and Jules immediatly passes the ball to me. I dribble up the left side of the feild, looking up, I see a man on the other team coming my way. I look up to see Harry on the other side of the feild. I take the oppertunity and kick the ball with my left foot with as much power as I can. Surprisingly, I kick it too far and it flys into the stands. The audience goes crazy.

Since I kicked it out, it was the other teams throw-in. A big man from the other team runs off the field and someone from the audience throws him the ball. He catches it and throws it down the field onto our side. Louis runs to the ball and and kicks it. The ball spins in the air and comes down towards me. It lands on my chest and bounces to my feet where I take time to control it then began dribbling until another player comes towards me. I look up and pass quickly to Julie. She gets possesion and then passes to Harry. Harry then, dribbles down infront of the goal and shoots.

"SCORE FOR FLORIDA!" a man's voice speaks through the loud speaker. Julie walks towards Harry and gives him a high-five. She walks back towards to starting possition. She was again in the middle, I was on the left and Harry to her right. Since we just scored, the other team has posestion of the ball. The whistle blows and a man on the other team pastes it to another player on his team. I step in front of the man and steel the ball, quickly dribbling down the field, straight to the goal, I take my chance and shoot.

"ANOTHER GOAL FOR USA, FLORIDA!" a women's voice flows over the loud stadium. Julie walks towards me this time, giving me a high-five.

"Great job!"

"Thanks, babe."

***

"Coach Blue for team USA has called for a water break!" the man announcer says into the mic, filling his voice throughout the stadium.

We all run off the field and to the sideline.

"There are 3 minutes left on the clock." coach Blue points out the obvious. "It's currently tied, and I want you guys to win!" he says. I quicly grab my water and take a swig before running back onto the field.

We get into our positions. Julie has the ball, the whistle blows and she passes to Harry. Harry takes the ball and dribbles until a defender approaches him. Harry takes his right foot and kicks the ball across the field. I run to it, saving it from going out. I trap it and looked at the clock. 30 seconds left. I take the opertunity and hit the ball hard. Everyone freezes, watching it fly through the air as we wait to see if it would go in, or if the goalie would catch it. If the goalie catches it, then it remains a tie and we'll have to do a rematch with this same team tomorrow, which I really don't want to do.

"AND USA WINS!" both announcers yell. The crowd goes wild and I jump into the air to celebrate. I run to Jules and pick her up and spin aroud with her in my arms. Her laugh filled my ears as I bring her down to her feet. She puts her hands around my neck, as my hands wrapped around her waist. Cameras flashed all around us, getting pictures of Julie and I in this 'about to kiss' position. She tilts her head up and I crash my lips to hers and she kisses back. She pulls away, grabbing my hand and we walk to the sidelines where the rest of the team is. We all lined up and put our hands out as we walked forward, our hands clapping the hands of the other team and saying "good game" to every player.

After we walked back by the team bench and grabbed some water, all of Julie's friends came down onto the field.

"Good job Jules!" they all say as they all approach her in a group hug. And then her ex comes trailing behind. She stares at him as he approached her slowly. She stands there awkwardly as he wrapped his arms aorund her, picking her up.

"Let me down." she begs.

He starts bringing her down and kissed her on the cheek and continues to put her down.

"Don't ever do that again." Julie orders. I glare at him as he smirks at me.

"Brandon!" Mr. Jones comes over shaking Brandon's hand and then bringing him into a hug. "How have you been with soccer?" he asks interested.

"Good! I'm a senior now, and I obviously made the team." he brags.

"You dated an older guy?" I whisper to Jules.

"Yeah..." she hesitats. "Wait... You're older." she laughs.

"Oh... Right." I reply feeling dumb but laugh along.

"WE WON!" Harry and Louis shout.

"Yeah buddy!" I yell and follow them, running around the field. We run into the middle of the field and start dancing as 'Wake Me Up' by Avicii comes on over the stadium speakers. I can tell that not a lot of the people in the crowd are One Direction fans, maybe don't even know who we are. Most of them are college students that came to support. That didn't stop the paparazzi from finding us. This means, the next game, there will be fans everywhere because the pap are going to use the pictures and share them to the world. I am positive a lot of our fans will show up at our next game.

"Hey man, look over there." Louis says, pointing to the side lines. I look over and see Brandon holding Julie in his arms.

"What the fuck?!" I spit.

"Hey man, calm down." Harry tries to comfort me.

"No, look at her, she's trying to get out of his arms, but he won't let her." I say and run over.

"Put me down!" Julie yells to Brandon.

"Not, until you give me a kiss, like good old times. Remember?" he replies with a dirty little smirk plastered on his big head.

By now, almost everyone is gone, except Julie's friends and of coarse the paporazzi that are trying to get onto the field.

"Like, what good old times?! There were none." she yells continuing to struggle in his arms.

"Put her down!" I yell.

He turns around to face me, still keeping her in his arms. He gives me the dirtiest little smirk and I glare at him. He grabs the back of Julie's head and moves it down towards his face.

"No. Don't do it." I warn.

Julie presses her lip into a thin line and tries to move out of Brandon's grip.

He forces her head down further. Her lips met his and he begins sucking on her lips and making an unattractive messy kiss. She is now kicking and trying to get out of his force but can't. I didn't realize I am just standing there. I snap into reality and pry her out of Brandon's arms.

I carry her away.

"Don't EVER do that again!" I yell to Brandon while putting Julie down to her feet.

"You're a dick." she growls at Brandon, making me chuckle.

We turn around and observe the bright lights surrounding us.

"Shit." Julie and I both mumbled.

They got all of that on camera. They're most likely going to make up a story saying Julie is cheating me, which is NOT the case. They're going to butt in on everything and make everything a lot worse. And for the next game, I know fans will be here, not making it any better.
