The Angel and The devil

Bruised

"Thanks for driving me Valerie" Said Grayson in the passenger seat. It was now July and Grayson had a soccer game. Ethan couldn't drive him because of work so I offered to take him. Grayson joined a soccer team sense he was doing nothing all summer.

"Hey. No problem. Plus I want to see you play" I Said

He smiled. We pulled up to the game. He went with the team as I sat with the parents. It was mid game and Grayson's team is winning.

"C'MON NUMBER 15!" Yelled a woman

I looked for #15, it was the opposite team. Why is the opposite teams sitting together. #15 had the ball and Grayson was trying to take the ball back.

"#49 take the ball!" Yelled the coach from the sidelines.

Grayson took the ball back as instructed. He ran with the ball to the other side and passing it to his team mate who was open which he made a score.

"Woo!" Yelled the parents and I did too clapping.

"Valerie water" he said running up to me. I threw him some water, he drank some quick and ran back. They played again and Grayson had the ball.

"Someone get open" he yelled as his team mates were trying to get open.

#15 ran up to Grayson trying to steal the ball back. Grayson tried to stall and move the ball around.

"Come on #15!" Yelled the same woman

#15 shoved Grayson, making Grayson stumble back a step still trying to hold onto the ball.

"HEY! Pushing!" Yelled the parents and I

The ref let #15 off with a warning. They continued playing and #15 kept pushing Grayson and the ref wouldn't take him out.

"What! I'm not doing anything" Said #15

"You were pushing don't act like you weren't" Said Grayson

"Grayson move on" Yelled the coach. Grayson shook his head and went back to his position. The game is about to end. Grayson's team is still winning and the other team is getting desperate.

#15 got close to Grayson while playing, shoving again. I shook my head as I looked at the ref. #15 took the ball and Grayson took it back quickly passing it.

The ref blew his whistle signaling the game was over. Grayson's team won. We cheered. I took Grayson's water bottle and went to the coach as the parents.

"You're Grayson's guardian?" Asked the coach

"Yeah I guess"

"Grayson is doing really good. If he is serious about this he can go places"

I smiled. "Thank you"

Grayson drank more water.

"Those guys are assholes" Said Grayson

"#15 kept pushing" Said his friend

"Okay. Don't talk about #15 because his mom is over there" I Said
