Chapter 1

My name is Abigail Damien Lambert I'm 12 I live with my dad, my little sister and my cousin, my mom died when my sister was just born

Then I started to play football when I was 7 and my dad coaches the team

Let start from the beginning

I woke up to my alarm clock

Ugh, another morning

I got into my closet and got on my jersey and got my gear ready

My dad was doing my sister hair

Morning dad I said as I came into his room to grab my stuff

Morning sweetheart he said as he put my sister hair into a ponytail

Is Connie up? Dad asked

Constance (her birth name) or Connie as we call her, lives with us, her mom died when were little kids

I'll check I said as I left his room

Connie was passed out with her notebooks in her hand

Connie, wake up I said shaking her

What?

Dad wants you up I said

Ok, let me get ready she said as she got out of bed

I went downstairs and went into the kitchen and grabbed an apple and some water

Then after I grabbed my stuff and left

Then by the locker was my best friend Lindsay bizone and we walked to the field

Then we went out to the field our other best friend came out Wendy Callahan

Hey, girls she said with a smile

Then we started to warm up

Then Maddie came out and dad picked her up

On your feet, everyone let's go

Then Mitch bizone (Lindsey grandpa) came on a bike

Hey, coach bizone is here

I'm sorry I'm late, guys, freaking chain

Cool bike, you get it for Christmas?

No, it was my neighbor's, he died

Mr Wilson Lindsay said

He nodded

Oh, I'm sorry for your loss, no kickstand, coach?

It didn't come with one, that's why you lean

Mitch was Sarah dad's dad

Coach bizone taught us something, it only took three seasons

Me and Lindsey laugh

Thanks a lot Lindsey June bizone he said her full name

All, that's enough, that's enough, take a lap

Who, me?

Thanks for torturing your own daughter I said to him

Hey, I created you he yelled

It was a good practice, right?

Sure Mia said

Marcos, way to hustle, the rest of you, um

Yeah, you know?

Remember, game is tomorrow at two o'clock

Then Wendy Callahan raise her hand

Yeah, Wendy dad said

So, I may not make it, because my mom I have a check up at two

It's okay, Wendy

Wait two? I thought it was four

Come on, it was four last week, cause it was an away game

Tomorrow's at two because we're playing at home

Wait, who did we lose to last week?

I forget, it was tht team with the orange helmets and the swords

Could've been the Vikings, the Romans, or the knights

The blacksmiths

Thanks, Paulie

All right, come on, come in here, baby

Come on, come on, hype up, hype up

My body hurts

All right

Then me, dad, Constance, and Maddie got into the car

Then when I got home I text Sarah

Hey how are you doing?

Fine, just tired

I'm really sorry for what going on and everyone misses you

Thanks tell Coach I said hi

Then dinner was ready

After dinner I got into the shower

Then I got into my room and I put on my dad's old football jersey and brushed my hair to a ponytail

Then Maddie came in

Hey, mads I said with a smile

Can you do my hair please? She asked

Sure I said

We got on my bed and I got out my hair brush and started brushing her hair and I got her in pigtails

There I said

Then dad came in

Hey, abbs

Hi

So get some sleep we are going to win this game he said and placed a kiss on my forehead

Night dad

Night Hun he said as he turned off my lights

I was so worried about Sarah

Sarah parents would fight no stop

Then I picked up a picture of my mother

I was four, dad was holding me to his hip and I wrapped my arms around his neck and they were kissing by the football field

Then I kissed the photo and I fell asleep
