"what's that ugly thing growing out of your neck... Oh... It's you're head, my bad" I say to Jaelene as I walk past her down the corridor chuckling to myself.
"you honestly have a death wish," Tobin says shaking her head but still laughing with me
"its the only bit of entertainment I get in this school, gotta keep things spicy up in here," I say winking to Tobs as we walk into the locker room with the other girls
We get dressed into our kits for today's game and I take my seat next to Kelley, kissing the side of her head as I do so. I listen to coach giving off instructions and wait for him to finish so I can get Alex to tape my wrists up and then go write my message on them.
I join the team in heading out into the field and get into my position in the starting eleven for today's game. The whistle blows and I set my mind to win this game, no other outcome possible
"Another great win tonight girls, I don't want to tell you but that game made us qualify for state again so congratulations, I'll see you all in a few days for training," coach says dismissing us after the game has ended.
I decide to take a shower here and change into my clean clothes once I've washed all the mud and sweat off my body. Putting my dirty clothes in an old bag before heading to my bike.
"Dan I'll neet you back at home, we need to work on the DMC tonight," Alex says using our code name for dad's murder case
"Okay, I'll see you there I need to head back to my place and get a fresh set of clothes before" I reply slipping on my helmet and tying by backs to the back of my seat
I make the drive back to my house where I don't see any cars in the driveway so I automatically assume both Mick and Brittney are out leaving me to easily grab fresh clothes and be out of there with no problem.
It turns out to not be the case and open the front door to hear Mick talking with a room full of men all dressed in suits. They have their backs turned away from me but I'm able to get a glimpse of one of the guys who has a scar on his right eyebrow before I duck behind the wall.
"give me one-second boys" I hear Mick say and I know I need to leave now.
I walk back out the same way I came and try to get back to my bike when I'm suddenly pulled back by my hood and onto the concrete floor
"Why are you walking into my meetings, you could've have gotten me in big trouble if they saw you little girl!" He spits out and throws a punch at my freshly healed face
"I'm sorry I just wanted to get some clothes!" I say trying to defend myself but I don't know why I even try, it's not like he's going to let me off
"don't be coming back for a while, I don't want you interrupting any more meetings," He says punching me one last time and throwing me to the side like a piece of trash as he walks back inside.
I spit out the blood pooling in my mouth and lift myself off the ground before walking back round to my bike, wincing whenever I move my face too much.
I drive off to Alex's house knowing she'll be able to patch me up when I arrive and just hope that I can think of an excuse to come up with for tomorrow.
Putting my bike next to Alex's car, I climb off and walk inside heading to the kitchen and grabbing some frozen peas out the freezer, putting them on my face hoping it will take the swelling down.
"how the hell did you manage to get beat up this time" Alex says from behind me
"how do you know I've been beaten up you can't even see me" I say to her and you can hear the smirk in my voice
