Hopeful fighter

CHAPTER 5

Abby enters the cemetery and approaches her grandmother's grave. Grandma Patty had always been there for her, she was her savior, her mother, her everything. Anytime Abigail had had an issue, she'd have gone to Patty. But two years ago she was diagnosed with a stage 3 lung cancer and there wasn't much they could do. She died one year ago, leaving her granddaughter sad and alone. Before her death, though, Patty had told Abby to come and visit her everytime she needed. And so does Abby, every single day.

A:"Hi grandma, how are you? I bet you're happy, with that beautiful smile that spreads joy everywhere. But... why is everything so difficult here? I met my birth mother today. She's a famous goalkeeper, you know? She's awesome and beautiful. We have the same eyes, the same blue eyes that could be part of the bright sky. But... not today granny. Today the sky is full of clouds and it's raining. The weather reflects all the emotions in my soul. I feel rejected and useless. Maybe... maybe dad was right, nobody wants me.

MEANWHILE AT THE STADIUM

C-L:" Hey guys, do you happen to know where Abby is?"

G:" She's probably just gone to the bathroom or maybe she's calling her parents since her phone is missing. She's in trouble with them since she ran away last night..."

H-S:" She did what?" (shouting)

G:"She ran away because they told her that she couldn't come today"

A-M:" Why not?"

G:"Because of something I'm not sure I can tell you"

A-K:" Well, let's go. I'm sure she'll be back"

E:"Yup, let's go"

15 MINUTES LATER

H-S:" Guys, she's still missing"

Z:"Yeah, I'm worried"

G:"We have to tell coach Davis what's going on"

T:"I agree Georgia"

H-S:" We need to find her, we must find her" (her voice cracks)

C-L:" Hope, are you okay?"

H-S:" Yes, just please, find her!" (crying)

Everybody starts looking for Abigail but she's nowhere to be found. Her teammates are worried, as well as the women's national team players. They all start running and wandering through the streets and the parks of Millcity.

ALEX AND TOBIN FIND A-ROD

T-H:"A-rod, did you find her?"

A-R:" No Tobin, and Hope is going crazy.."

A-M:"Why?"

A-R:" I have no clue Alex, just keep going"

GEORGIA AND CHARLOTTE FIND CARLI AND HOPE

C-L:" Any news girls?"

G:" Unfortunately not"

H-S:" Where is she? We need to find her, please"

C:" We will Hope, I promise"

ALI AND ASHLYN FIND GRACE

A-K:" Grace have you found her?"

G:" Not yet guys. I also tried to call her a few times but she won't pick up"

A-H:" You're her best friend right?"

G:"Yep why?"

A-H:" Do you know if there is a place where she feels free and comfortable with herself?"

G:" Hum... yes! Yes, yes there is a place where she goes anytime she needs help. How couldn't I think about it before!"

A-K:" Okay, I'm coming with you. Ash, please go back to the stadium and stay with Hope. She's crying so bad and they don't know why"

A-H:" I'm going, take care"

AT THE CEMETERY

A:" I really miss you grandma. Don't ever leave me. People see me as a strong and determined young women but nobody knows how much my heart is sinking right now and..."

G:" Abby, Abby, oh my gosh, we were so worried"

A:" Yeah, mh sorry, something happened and I don't feel like talking about it, like at all"

A-K:" Okay. Grace go back to the stadium and let everybody know that we found her and that she's fine"

G:" Alright, but... what about you two?"

A-K:" I got this, just go"

"She's really mad at me, everybody must be mad at me. I deserve this, my parents don't want me, neither does Hope. Life sucks", thought Abby.

A-K:" You're Hope's daughter, aren't you?"

And Abby just stares at her, speechless but happy, actually. It seems that somebody can understand her, cares about her.

A:" Yeah. How, how do you know?"

A-K:" When I first you there was something that reminded me of one of my teammates. And that's when I saw Hope looking at you. You have the same eyes and the same physical features. And then I saw you guys on the field, playing and talking and I realized that you were her daughter by the look she gave you. She's proud of you, Abby"

A:" I don't think so Ali, she doesn't want me and she told me that staying together will bring all her memories back and she doesn't want to. Plus, we fought and I told her I didn't want to deal with her anymore so..."

A-K:" So we're both going back to the field and you're going to talk to her. She's been crying desperately when we found out you were missing. You need each other, Abigail! I don't expect you to forget, but expect you to forgive. I'm not saying this is going to be easy, I'm just saying that it's going to be worth it. She cares about you Abby, just give her a chance"

A:" I will. Thanks Ali, it means a lot"

"I want to give her a chance, I want to know how my life would have been if Hope had kept me with her"
