Fatal Redemption | J.J.K.

L

PAIGE;
We entered the home side of the bleachers and everything was filled. I looked around and took in our towns team spirit, standing next to Eric and Xavier.

Eric let out a sad yet happy sigh, "I missed this" he looked out towards the stands full of our townspeople wearing silver and white.

I frowned and wrapped my arms around his waist.

When Eric was in school he received a full-ride football scholarship to go to his dream college, University of Nebraska-Lincoln. He really had his heart set out on going there but decided to go against it so suddenly.

Eric then started working in the same field my father and my grandpa worked in. He wanted to play football and someday go pro, but that changed when he turned into a 'man'.

The summer after he graduated, dad sent him off somewhere far. My brothers and I had no idea where since they wouldn't tell us but dad said it was only right.

Eric wrapped his arms around my shoulders as we walked down the stands. We passed by people from the town, almost all of them recognizing my brother instantly.

He still had a lot of fans even when he didn't play anymore. Most of them waved and greeted him by shouting his nickname, 'A.D' or 'All Day'.

Eric grinned widely at the name, our father gave it to him when he was younger because he would never stop running with the ball.

We soon spotted our parents in their usual spot and joined them.

Today I was wearing the hoodie that Jungkook gave to me, it strangly still smelt like him but I obviously wasn't complaining.

When Xavier noticed he teased me so much in the car that I turned into a tomato in front of him, his only response was 'cute'.

My mom looked at me and smiled, then threw me a playful wink. I smiled in return and sat down.

My mom knows that we're together since Jungkook last visited. She also said that she likes him more than Gavin. She just has this good 'gut feeling' about him.

As for my dad, he told me that he's happy if I'm happy. He also said that he likes Jungkook more, so it's a win-win situation with my family.

As for today's game, we are going up against our biggest rival team that ALWAYS beats us.

Even when Eric played against them during his high school years they didn't win, it was sometimes a blowout or somewhat of a close game.

"They're so going to lose" Eric commented as I rolled my eyes.

I still had high hopes for this game, I'm positive that Jungkook and my brother will lead this game to a victory for us.

"Is your boy good?" Eric asked as I blushed.

"Yes, he's the team captain and the starting quarterback" I said as Eric rose his eyebrows.

"Wow" was his only response.

I knew if Jungkook had a lower position Eric wouldn't hesitate to make fun of him.

Instead he didn't have a valid reason to because when my older brother was a senior he was too the team captain but a leading wide receiver.

I smirked to myself when I noticed that I shut him down instantly.

Suddenly the cheering on the home side, roared with pure joy when the boys rushed out of the locker room and through the banner that was held up for them.

It was obvious that everyone was pumped for this years pep rally game.

I noticed Jungkook when he stopped by the bench and turned around to face the stands. I stood up and automatically he noticed me.

I turned around and showed him that I was indeed wearing the hoodie that he gifted me. I faced him again and he was smiling.

I sat back down as Eric and Xavier both made a 'whip' sound as I elbowed their ribs. They winced but laughed through the pain.

It was now the last quarter with thirty seconds left on the clock. Our team is on a timeout, their very last one.

The score is 28-28.

The game is tied and everyone is on the edge of their seat hoping that the boys could pull off a win from our biggest rivals.

It was the other teams ball and we are now playing defense. They were lined up by their end zone, and in one good play they could score a touchdown.

The referee blew his whistle to call off the time out. The boys chanted the school name and ran off to their positions.

The away side of the field was going crazy as I was biting my nails. They were only a few meters off of the line.

The offensive teams quarterback called out the play and they soon started. I watched as the ball was being thrown from player to player.

I also saw Jungkook watching the ball like a hawk, he seemed to catch onto their moves as he leaped over the defensive line and tackled the player who had just caught the ball.

Everyone on the home side, including me gasped and erupted in louder cheers.

The ball was then let go and it was a fumble, without second thinking Jungkook quickly snatched the ball from the floor and ran down the field.

He was sprinting so fast that I almost convinced myself that he wasn't human.

"Let's go Jungkook" My family and everyone in the stands yelled.

Jungkook held the ball in his arms as he sprinted down the field towards the end zone.

The rival team ran after Jungkook but he was the fastest. I looked to the clock and there were ten seconds left.

"C'mon Kookie" I whispered, almost if he could hear me he started to run faster leaving the offense members who ran after him in the dust.

Everyone started to count down, I kept my eyes on Jungkook.

He was almost there... then he passed the end zone with two seconds left.

Everyone jumped up and cheered as the buzzer went off indicating that the game was over.

Xavier and I ran down the bleachers along with everyone else. We ran onto the field to see Jungkook being lifted up by the team and praising him.

I smiled, this will be the first time we have ever beat them in almost twenty years, all thanks to Jungkook.

I guess I'll be staying longer than expected.
