The Quarterback is a girl!!!! Chapter 16

Chapter 16

Zoe's pov.

I was currently squealing with my mom while we both sat and watched vampire diaries. Klaus had finally slept with Coraline! I know this is a re-run but still I loved that scene! eventually the show had went off and mom turned the T.V off and faced me.

"Your a strong girl you know that." she still had tears in her eyes from when I explained everything that had happened to me. she was crying a freaking hurricane! she couldn't believe that Erick would do something like that.

"How come you never told me?" she asked staring at me. I signed.

"Because he threatened that he would hurt you and me if I didn't keep quiet." I explained to her and she choked back a sob.

"Don't worry mom, Brandon took care of it, Erick's in a coma now and none of the guys know." I tried to reason with her. she shook her head and pulled me into a hug.

"I just didn't ever think that your brother, my son would do something like this. I thought he was just over protective of you." she says, and that's why the bastard had pulled a blind one over everyone and nobody ever knew.

"Brandon says we should take him to court." I chew on my bottom lip waiting for her reaction.

"Well were going to have to, what he did is un-except-able and should be punished!" I could tell this was hard on her. I mean he was her son and first born, I don't think any mother pictures their first born son to be a rapist.

"When he wakes up I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to face him, mom." I stare at her in the eyes and I could tell that she was just as scared as I was. that's why one of us had to be the tough one.

"Don't worry hun, he'll be behind bars before you know it." my mom says frowning.

"How long has this been going on?" she asked. I signed.

"Since I was 7 years old but he started acting weird around me when I was 5." I choke out. It was hard to talk about these things and I wasn't ready to share this story with the court.

"Oh Hun! I didn't see the signs! I'm such a horrible mother and I didn't know!" she was sobbing. Again and I signed. I knew she was going to be extra careful around me now, that's another thing I wasn't looking forward to.

People treating me like a victim.

"Mom please stay strong for me I really need my mother right now." I whisper and she looks over at me and sniffles.

"Your right I'm so sorry this is just so hard for me to hear I'm still shocked." her hand was covering her mouth to stifle the sobs and hiccups. Which wasn't really working.

"Right so all I wanted to do was look forward to the game Friday but coach Mathews benched me!" I said anger suddenly surging through me.

"Things haven't been good for me right now." I shake my head I don't know what any other girl at my school would do in my position, but I won't judge because everyone has their deep darkest secret. you know what they say.

Don't judge a book by it's cover.

"I'm going to make sure I'm here 24/7 I'll be a stay at home mom and-" I cut my mom off.

"Mom you don't have to quite your job because of me. I'll be fine I'm a tough cookie." I give her a soft smile.

"That's bullshit and you know it!" I gape back at my mom shocked that she had just cursed. my mom never cursed she thought it was un-lady like which is why I hardly ever cursed in front of her, which was a total struggle if you ask me.

"I know that you can't handle yourself! through that tough layer of hard cold stone you put up you are a girl who just wants to be cared about and special!" my mom says and I stare at her in shock. wow! that was something. I smile at her shyly.

" you know me so well!" I beam at her and she laughs.

"Of course I do I'm your mother!" me and her laugh and I get up to go make us some tea, the lords know we both needed some to calm our nerves.

The phone rang. mom got up to go see who it was.

"Hello? Oh hey Damon! you want to talk to Zoe? well sure hold on!" she hands the phone over to me and I roll my eyes.

"What do you want?" I snap at him and I can see my mom giving me a disapproving glance. She now knew what he did to me, so I don't think she should be giving me that look.

" look Zoe I'm sorry! I really am , you know that we all miss you and want you to be able to lead us to victory against the Rangers, but coach benched you!" he tries to explain.

"No shit Sherlock! I know that! you could have fought harder for me to be able to play." I could here him signing into the phone.

"If it makes you feel any better i'll quite my position until he decides to let you back on the team." I smirk an idea formed in my head.

"You know what, i'll just show up tomorrow and pretend nothing even happened!" I tell him feeling smug. if coach wanted to bench me I was going down with a hell of a fight!

"Are you crazy!?! You could get kicked off of the team!" Damon yells through the phone.

"What kind of question is that? of Course in crazy!" I yell back and I hear my mom chuckle a little. see, she knew it too!

"I don't want to see you get kicked off the team Zoe." he says worry in his voice.

"Listen coach Mathews would have to be a total idiot to kick me off the team. I'm going to show up at practice tomorrow and there's nothing you can do about it!" I fire back.

"Wait Zoe-" I hang up before he can protest. I was dead set and determined to prove to the coach that I was going to play this game.

No matter what.

"What are you going to do?" my mom questions with a raised eyebrow. I walk out of the kitchen with the tea made and sat down at the table next to mom.

"I'm going to go to practice tomorrow." I take a sip of my tea.

"Oh, that's a risky stunt to pull. you must really want to play the game Friday." she says looking at me with admiration.

"Yeah mom I really want to take this as a career, but they don't have any girls in the NFL. I wanna change that soon." I state determined. she smiles at me.

"If you really want something you'll make it happen no matter what." she says softly and gets up to put our cups into the sink. she kisses my forehead.

"Get some sleep buttercup. you've had a long day." I nod and head up stairs into my room.
