Who Knew Rugby Could Be So Complicated?

Decision

"Oliver, you need to stay with Amelia today" I widened my eyes at Owen. "How can he stay with me?" Owen shrugged. "He cant stay with me, can he?" I sighed and rolled my eyes. "I'll take him back to Holly's" "no, just take him with you" Owen snapped. "Are you for real right now?" "I've got to go bye" Owen literally ran out the door. He can not be serious right now. I got Oliver's bag packed for the game, lunch, water and his coat. I honestly dont know how I'm going to do this. Why do I have to sacrifice everything?

The front door swung open and I couldnt be more grateful to see these two. "Hey!!!" They both shouted. "Charly! Abbi! What you doing here?" I dropped the bags and ran and hugged them. "We came down early for the game tomorrow and obviously to support you with today" I wanted to cry. "Please can you have Oliver? Owen's just stormed out and told me I have to have him" I ran my hands through my hair. They both nodded knowing not to question too much, emotions were high enough as it was. "Right, can you guys take Oliver to the game? Owen's taking him out on the pitch, so needs to be there in the next 20 mins or so. I'll get there when I can. Meet you in the box"

Me and Emma were silent the whole way to courthouse. Emma looked out the window. I really wanted to turn the car round and drive as far away as possible. I felt weird. It was like I was watching myself, like my body was there but I wasnt. I couldnt explain it, the whole day felt weird from the moment I woke up.

This time we were sat in the crowd rather than next to Harry. He was sat on a table in front of the judge with his lawyer. Who had the biggest smirk on his face. I have a feeling this is not going go the way I wanted it too. But I dont really know what I want to get out of this just him to leave me alone.

I completely zoned out until I felt eyes on me. I could see Harry burning holes down my body with his eyes then he looked up to me and flashed a sly grin. I want to wipe that grin off his face. I really hope people see how evil he is. My own thoughts consumed my head and I couldnt focus on anything that was being said. "We the jury" that suddenly got my attention. Emma squeezed my hand. "Find Harry Edward Baker guilty of imprisonment of a civilian, blackmail and possession of a firearm" Harry's jaw dropped. I had no words, it was finally over. The judge followed up on the jury's comments "The guilty will be charged with a five year sentence, in two years the guilty can appeal and request a suspended sentence. A restraining order has been implemted for the two victims, any contact will increase the sentence. Court dismissed" the sound of the gavel echoed the room. Two police officers marched over to Harry and put him in handcuffs, escorting him out the back of the courtroom.

Me and Emma leaped up, practically skipping through the halls. Luckily it was only half 12, it was shorter than I ever imagined. "Thank you" I looked at Emma confused. "I cant thank you enough for what you've done for me. I didnt think I would ever escape" I hugged her "its finally over. Let's go celebrate!" The music blasted through the car, windows down, hair flowing everywhere. I dont think I've ever felt this free before.

We ran through the stadium car park, of course I've got my own personal spot now. Running up to the box, bursting through the doors. Everyone turned and stared at me. Luckily it was only Owen's family, the girls and my family, who I was surprised to see, "someone get that champagne popping. It's a day to celebrate" the girls ran up to me and hugged me. The waiters brought the champagne while I greeted everyone properly.

Luckily I hadn't missed the start of the game, I just made it in time to watch Owen and Oliver walk out to the pitch. Owen looked tense but Oliver was pretty much running along side him with the biggest smile on his face. When both teams were stood in a line, Oliver said something to Owen and he shrugged. Something was really not right with him.

The game kicked off and Oliver joined us in the box. He immediately ran to Blake, of course. They shared a hug. "Oliver, get over here and give your grandpa a hug" Andy kneeled on the floor, Oliver came running over, leaping into his arms. "I've missed you Grandpa"

The first half went by so quick. Who knew 40 minutes could go so fast as well as three bottles of champagne. I best stop drinking, I'll be on that pitch tomorrow.

I was expecting a text from Owen but nothing. "Aww Owen's asked how Oliver is" Colleen piped up. My face must of scrunched up "you alright?" She followed it with. How do I explain. No I'm not ok, your son put me in a difficult situation on possibly one of the worst days of my life. "Yeah, just the alcohols getting to me" I laughed it off. The girls looked at me and sat me down at the bar.

The next 40 minutes consisted of me whining like a child, luckily the room was big enough so Owen's parents couldnt hear me and Charly kept watch. The game ended with everyone cheering, Saracens had won the cup. "Your turn tomorrow Amelia" Ray nudged me "not if I have anything to do with it" Abbi smirked. "Well see Wood!" We all laughed our way down to the pitch as the fans started to clear.

"Nice win today" I greeted Owen "yeah thanks" he half heartedly hugged and left me to greet everyone else. "What is his problem?" Emma appeared behind me. "Not a clue"
