Kevins PoV
A week later
So today I get my pot taken off and then tomorrow I have to manage the lads at the regional finals. Oh god. Stacey was with me as well as dad. I was terrified. I don't know why but I was terrified. Did it hurt. "Baby you'll be fine." She squeezed my hand and they called me in. They explained what they were gonna do and when I next looked it was off. "We want you to try and strengthen your leg muscles. Go easy on it. One weight too much and that leg will be snapped beyond repair. We suggest no pe for at least another week and football is still out the picture I'm afraid." I nodded and shook their hands and we went and got in the car. I cuddled into stacey and she smiled. "Kev stop being soppy." I pulled a face at my dad and he laughed. Stacey kissed the side of my head we pulled up outside the house. When we walked in my mom gave me a hug and Joanne ran up to stacey. She picked her up and jo was talking Staceys ear off. "Jo leave Stacey alone." "Jo Keith. We are going out. Kev well be back later." I nodded and we went upstairs. I sat on the bed and stacey came and sat next to me. "You did it baby. It's gone." I smiled and she put a kiss on my lips. "When do you have training." "No training tonight. The game is tomorrow so we're resting them up. I'm with you all night." "Cuddle?" I opened my arms and she moved as fast as I've ever seen her and sat in my lap and hugged me. "Someone's in a cuddly mood today huh?" She nodded and I kissed the top of her head. "Nothing much has changed between us has it?" What do you mean Stace?" "Well I mean. We always slept at each other's we always hung about with each other we always hugged." "Well I mean apart from that New Years we didn't kiss. And unless we were drunk and i don't remember it then we didn't shag so. But that doesn't mean we aren't any less a couple than all of the others. In fact I think we should all meet up tonight and watch a movie. This might be the last time they talk to me if the lads don't win tomorrow." She nodded and I rung Caspar as he had the indoor cinema. He said he'd invite everyone round and they all agreed. Stacey was like an emotionless rock when it came to movies. She never gets scared. In fact she laughs at horror movies. There is only one film that makes her cry. The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. She hates it. She likes watching it but she doesn't like crying over it. "Come on then."
Staceys PoV
We arrived at caspars and all the lads insisted on racing him up and down the street to see if he could still beat them. Of course he did. "No fair." Me and the girls were laughing. Neil jumped on Kevs back. "Neil you giant cow. I want to keep my leg unshattered. Thank you." "Is that even a word. Unshattered?" "Well it is now." We all went into the house and all got ourselves sat down at the screen. Caspar turned the tv on and we all looked at stacey when it came on. "Get the tissues! We don't want to drown." "Shut up." "What you gonna do." "I'll break up with you." "You wouldn't dare." "I would kevin." "I'm sorryyyyyy. If you cry though. I'll just laugh." "I'm not gonna cry." They stayed the movie and it was all good until the end.
Ashley's PoV
I was sat next to stacey and she turned into Kevins side when it had finally finished. "We called it." Stacey looked up. "Well why the fuck did they have to die holding hands. Why did they have to die at fucking all!" She turned back into Kevs chest and he just cradled her and it was cute. "One Stace don't cry. It's not real. And two. Kacey is the best couple going." "Shh. It's ok Stace. It's just a film." "But shmuel never found his dad again." Joe and Caspar were trying not to laugh. Kevin threw one remote at Caspar and the other one at joe. They scowled and Stacey laughed a little bit. "Hang on. These two kids die in a movie but me and casp get a remote thrown at our heads and she laughs." "Leave her alone. She's upset."
Kevins PoV
Joe and Caspar said sorry. "Anyone else noticed that Kev said he'd just laugh if she cried but here he is with her in his knee kissing the top of her head." They all laughed and while they started another movie off stacey finally stopped crying. She looked at me scowled and put her head back in my chest. "This one makes the two of them cry so you can laughed at them." "But then they'll throw something at me." "I'll stop it. It'll be fine." She cuddled into me and I kissed the top of her head and rubbed her back. When this movie finished stacey was laughing at Caspar and joe because they were crying. "Not nice to be laughed at is it you fucking morons." Instead of throwing something at them she threw a piece of popcorn at me and ran off with the tub. "So that's how you're gonna play is it." I chased her round the others and she put the tub down and I wrapped my arms round her and picked her up. She wrapped her legs round my waist and I smiled moved her hair out of the way and kissed her. "Take that to your own house. Not mine. Come on. One more movie and then we're gonna have to call it a night." "Kev can I have some gummy bears at yours." "If you stop being mean to joe and Caspar I'll let you have some." "Caspar you have cool eyes. Joe you have nice hair. Now can I have some." "Sure." I chuckled and kissed her again. "We're gonna call it off here guys. She's tired and wants gummy bears and if she wants gummy bears she's not happy until she gets them. Night guys." "Night peasants." "Night coach. Night Stace." "Don't call me that." I tried putting Stacey down but she clung on to me and I smiled. "Am I carrying you home then?" She nodded with a huge grin on her face. I carried her bridal style and half way home she buried her head in my chest and fell asleep. I got back to the house and knocked for my parents to open the door. My mum opened it and smiled. "Aww. Go on then coach kev. Off to bed with her I'm guessing." "We'll then you guessed right." She smiled kissed the side of my head and I carried Stacey upstairs and changed her into one of my hoodies that she normally sleeps in doing my best not to look. I chucked her clothes in the laundry basket and she murmured something. "What's that baby?" "Can I have some gummy bears now?" "Tomorrow Stace. Tomorrow." We laid down and she hugged in close to me. Tomorrow could be the day that makes or breaks my career. Let's hope it all goes to plan.
