The Football Girl

Chapter 4: I can't take it anymore.

because she comment on how she wanted more :)

I look at my dad. He seems so helpless. Before anyone could talk to me I run up the stairs to my room. I slam the door shut and lock it. Looking at my room, I see all my posters. They mostly are my favorite teams. I walk over to my bed, I see the picture of Little Jon and me. That was the day he turned 5. I smile at it. His birthday was superhero theme. I was dressed as Wonder Woman and he was Captain America. The guys were there too, they were dressed as the Guardians of the Galaxy. But they didn't do the female. Tears were forming in my eyes, a week later after his party we found out he had cancer. It was hard for dad and I. We already lost one person we love, we can't lose another one. I fall to the floor crying. "Why? WHY! Please don't take him yet! He is only 5 1/2 years old!" I scream. After about 30 minutes of crying I hear a knock on the door. "Alex? Is it okay if we come in?" It was Brandon. "H-Hold on." I look in my bathroom mirror and wipe my eyes. "Alright come in." I say with more confidence. "Um Alex. The door is locked." I go over to the door and unlock it. All the guys come rushing in. They all hug me in a big group hug. That's when I lose it, I start to shake and cry. "Alex it's going to be okay." Drake says. I finally calmed down and sit down on my bed. "Are you going to see him?" Every time Little Jon was in the hospital I would visit him if he was alright. But if he wasn't I would try to but it was to hard on me. Ever since my mom died I don't like hospitals. "Honestly I don't know, I might." They all knew how I felt about hospitals. I get a text from my dad.

Daddykins: Little J is okay, the doctor said that he was puking to much so a little blood came up. But if there was a lot of blood it might be real serious so he put him on different meds...again.So he will spend about 3-5 days in the hospital. He is going to be okay. I love you my princess!

I told the guys what was going on. "See I told he was going to be okay." I punch Drake in the shoulder. "So you are going to be home alone for a little while?" I look at Brandon with a smirk. "Yes I am, but we are not having a party." Brandon looks down, then looks up with a smirk. "What about just us? Have a little party here for us?" They all look at me. "C'mon Alex please! I need a break from my family. I think we all need a break from our families." says Levi. I smile, "Alright we can! BUT no alcohol at all, no one else." They all get up and start to dance. "Alex it's football season, no drinking." says Ashton. Then they all start to go around the house. "WHERE'S ALL THE FOOD??!!!!" Drake yells. I start to laugh. "I need to go shopping for food we are running low." Then Drake comes in with a towel wrapped around him like a cape and with a pool noodle. "TO WALMART!!" I smile and get my keys to my car. Then I walk downstairs with Drake behind me. I go to my dad's office to get his credit card. "Alright let's go." They all run to my car. "I call shot gun!" says Brandon as he is sprinting to my car. "No way Brandon! I get it!" says Drake. Then Drake grabs Brandon's shirt collar and pulls him back. Before I get there Ashton is in the passenger seat. "What?! That's not fair!!" I look at Drake and Brandon. "You know my rules, who ever is there first gets it." After that Drake, Brandon, and Levi get in the back. I get in the driver's seat. I back out of the driveway and go on the highway. It's about 20 minute drive to Walmart from my house. As I was driving the guys were talking in the back. "So did you hear that David broke up with Brooke?" I look in my rear view mirror. "No I didn't. What happen?" I see that the boys fidget. "C'mon guys tell me." They all look at each other. "Well what happened apparently is that David was at a party with her. So she started to talk trash on you and he got upset about it. So he was kind of drunk and said that he was madly in love with you and he wants to go out with you. So they got in a fight. And we are suppose to tell you to watch you back because Brooke is going to come after you for stealing her man." I look at them in disbelief. "Are you serious? Wow I haven't had this much attention from different guys in awhile. But to bad I'm already in a kind of relationship. So yeah." Levi and Brandon squeal in delight. "Whose the lucky guy?? Huh tell us c'mon tell us please!" I smile at them. "Why don't you just ask him." They look at Ashton. "So you finally told her Ash good for you!" I slam on the brakes. "Wait WHAT?" says Drake. "Um guys it was Drake who I am in a kind of relationship." They both gulp. "Sorry Ash. We thought it was you." Then I looked at them all. "I-I'm sorry I have to go." Then I unbuckle my seat belt, open my door and take off. I ran away from my car. "ALEX COME BACK!" I hear someone yell. I didn't listen. I just kept running. I didn't know where I was. Later I found a small park. I went to the swings and sat down. The park was quiet, no one was there except for some teenagers. Who I think are drinking. It was probably around 11:40 something. I look at my phone and it was being blown up with calls from the guys. I ignored them. I just need time by myself. I saw a park bench by a little pond so I got up and went over there. When I got there I saw some ducks swimming. Then I hear something behind me. I turn around and see a guy walking towards me. "Hello there." he says. "Um hi." He sits down next to me. "Something is wrong what is it?" I look at him confused. "Well um found out a lot of stuff today and I am kind of just overwhelmed." He looks at me. "Well, that is a hard. Isn't it?" I nod at him. He had a slight British accent. "My name is Andrew, and yours?" "Um I'm Alexandra but my friends call me Alex." Andrew smiles at me. "It is nice to meet you." I smile at him. After about 15 minutes I get up. "Well it was nice talking to you Andrew but I need to head home." He smiles at me and nods. "Nice to meet you too." Then I get up and start to walk home. Or what I think I am walking in the right direction. When I was walking I hear someone walking behind me. I keep walking. "C'mon please someone I know come pick me up." Then someone grabbed me from behind. I scream on the top of my lungs. "Let me go! Please let me go!" But the person who is a guy just chuckles. "A pretty girl like you shouldn't be walking alone it's dangerous. Something might happen to you." He says in raspy voice. Then he starts to take his clothes off. "This is going to be fun." I start to cry. He goes for my clothes but I try to get away. He slaps me. "Stop moving!" He gets my shirt off. He goes for my pants. "I wouldn't do that if I were you." The guy turns around, Ashton was standing there. Ashton's jaw was ticking. But the guy just smirked at him. "Why you want a turn?" Before anyone could blink Ashton punched him square in the face. "Don't you ever! And I mean ever touch her or come near her again." Ashton came towards me. I was crying. "Shh Alex it's okay I'm here now." He picks me up and grabs my shirt. He is carrying me bridal style. He walks to his truck. He puts me in the passenger seat and buckles me in. After he gets in and we are driving. "How did you find me?" He smiles at me. "I knew what direction you ran so I figured you were near a park since you go there to think. Then I heard screaming, it sounded like you so I followed it and there you were." "Oh." Is all I could say. "Look Alex I didn't want you to find out that I liked you. I never told anyone but Brandon and Levi. Since I knew Drake likes you I just backed off. I do like you a lot. I don't know how you feel about me but Drake got you first." I could tell he was telling me the truth. Well I always did have a crush on Ashton. I mean he is really good looking, he is also really sweet. "Ash, I'm not saying there can't be an us. I know Drake told me first. Yes I told him there might be a relationship but now that I know you have feelings for me. I think I will have to decide between you guys. This would be a smart choice. But you both know how I feel about relationships. So you both will have to give me time to think." Ashton just nods at me. When we get to the house, the guys are watching a movie. There is pizza boxes everywhere. "Hey guys." They all look up. "ALEX!" They run to me. They crush me with a hug. "Okay guys, I need to speak to Ash and Drake in the kitchen. Please." I walk towards the kitchen. They both follow and sit on our bar stools. "Alright, okay so I both know that you have feelings for me. I understand that Drake told me first but this is not just a first come first serve. I am going to need time to think. I don't want you guys to hate each other now. This is going to be a competition. I don't want any bribing to take place. I will let you know my answer in a couple of days." They look at each other then at me. "Alright I understand." says Drake. After they both leave I just stand in the kitchen. Well look what happens on my first football game. Brother gets worse (or what I thought was worse.), find out two of my closest friends have huge feelings for me, almost get raped, and I have to deal with Brooke. Wow just not my night!
