Everyone is on the edge of their seats as the timer counts down from ten.
Danny passes the ball to Axel and cross my fingers, jumping up and down.
"Go Axel! Go baby!" I scream. He glances at me from the pitch and I grin. He runs as fast as he can. We all hold our breath.

He holds out the football.

3
He swings his leg out.
2
He scores the winning goal!
I jump up and down, screaming with the rest of the bleachers. I watch as Axel gets engulfed in a massive hug by his team.
I run down the bleacher steps and into the field. Axel sees me and a grin spreads across his face. I jump into his arms, wrapping my legs around his waist.
"Oh my god! Axel you were amazing!" I squeal.
He kisses both my cheeks, my chin, my forehead and finally my lips. We pull away.
"That was good, huh?" He asks.
"Amazing! I can't believe you score the winning goal in only 10 seconds!" He grins and puts me down, wrapping his arm around my shoulders.

Once the celebration had died down and people are leaving, Axel and I make our way to the front of the school.
"Is someone picking you up?" He asks.
"No. I'll just call Mikey now." I pull my phone out of my pocket. Axel plucks it out of my hands.
"No need." He grins down at me. "I'll take you home." I smile and lean into his side.
"Thank you." I climb into the passenger seat of his car. He turns on the engine and the radio starts blasting. I cover my ears as he turns it down. He looks at my scrunched up face and chuckles.
We start driving in silence, not really needing to say anything. I think about what it might be like when I get home and start chewing on my bottom lip. I feel Axels fingers intertwine with mine and I look across at him.
"You ok?" He asks. I nod.
"Yep." I give a forced smile. He runs circles with his thumb on the back of my hand.
"Dont frown, beautiful. You're prettier with a smile." He lifts our hands up and strokes my cheek. I smile as he rests our hands on my thigh.

We pull up outside my house and I look at Axel.
"Thanks, Ax." I say smiling.
"No problem, beautiful. It's always a pleasure to be with you." I blush slightly and shake my head. He lifts my chin up and leans in.
I lean as well and soon enough our lips are touching. The kiss was soft and meaningful. He rested his hand on my cheek to deepen the kiss. He runs his tongue along my bottom lip and I hesitantly pull away.
"As much as I'd love to continue, I really have to go." He frowns.
"Of course." He places another kiss on my lips. "See you tomorrow. Love you, beautiful." I smile.
"Love you too, Ax." I climb out of his car and walk into the house.

•••••••••

To no surprise, I'm greeted by yelling as I step inside. I groan and make my way to the steps.
"Aspen. Kitchen right now." My fathers rough voice calls out. I close my eyes and bite my lip. Here we go.
I hesitantly walk into the kitchen, where my mother and father are sitting at the kitchen table.
"What?" I ask, not even attempting to be nice.
"Don't speak to me like that, young lady." My father scowls.
I fold my arms and cock my hip to the side.
"So it's ok for you two to go at it 24/7 and when I let my hatred for you show once I get in trouble?" I ask, watching my fathers face grow red.
"Now, now, dear. No need to get snappy." My mother smiles. I scoff.
"Seriously? You don't get to do this! You can't constantly put me through hell and expect me to worship you!" I yell. My father stands up, smashing his fist on the table.
"You have no right to talk to us like that! I give you everything. You want it? I provide it. Just like that. And you have the cheek to yell at me? I don't think so, kiddo." I drop my bag, getting really pissed.
"That's your problem! You don't spend time with me! You give me stuff out of guilt! You're sending Michael to a military campus! You're sending him away! You're not helping him get better! You're making I worse! Have you heard yourself? Have you? Do you notice what you're doing to us?!" I scream in his face.
"Your brother is a monster. Getting drunk. Using my money to buy drugs! Ruining my reputation! The only way he is going to learn is by making him suffer!"
"That's what this is about? Your reputation? You are the most vile, horrendous, despicable person I have ever met. You want us to respect you? Stop being a fucking asshole!" I screech. His eyebrows rise and his face goes a deep red. Before I can do anything, his fist connects with my cheek and I'm flying to the ground.
