#Chapter7

Turns out Alex took a bigger hit than we all thought. The medical guys came when I was shouting for someone. Alex literally couldn't stand for himself and that was worrying.

I saw a man on the pitch quickly running over. Joe stepped back immediately when he spotted this man.

"Son, look at me how are you feeling " the man hauls him up from the ground.

Son?

Is he just saying that like casually or is he Alex's dad.

I started to step away but the man blocked my exit abruptly.

"Are you his girlfriend or something " He asks me clearly judging me at the same time.

"No," I say quickly.

His eyes widen at my harsh reply.

" I can help you sir" the girl from earlier says jumping at the opportunity.

" no thanks you get back to your friends " he says like it's no deal. He gives her such a dirty look as well.

I actually struggled to keep my laugh in at that time. And apparently I wasn't the only one.

" why her" she says looking at me distatefully " she doesn't even know Alex like I do" she objects still not getting the message at all.

Okay well we didn't need that information. You don't need to share the fact that you sleep with him.

"That's great, but knowing those details aren't really a concern of mine right now" he says as he sends her another glance. "you ran to his side, sorry I just assumed" the man says turning his attention back to me.

I let a smile grace my lips at the obvious outraged look he was giving this other girl.

" look dad I'm fine I just need to sit out and catch my breath. " Alex finally says speaking up. He seems annoyed, he takes or rather rips off that girls hand off his arm.

"Alex!" She exclaims acting like he just ripped off her own arm. What the fuck is her problem.

"Alright clear out all of you? Give the boy some space" he shouts glaring at the girls who were refusing to go.

I did a nervous laugh before heading to follow Joe who was leaving.

"Not you " Alex's dad says stopping me from moving. When did he have the authority to tell me what I can do.

"To be honest sir I don't think I'm needed here right now" I say in my most innocent voice. Hopefully he'd be nice and just let me go.

"I beg to differ, just stay here whilst I grab Alex's things from the locker rooms alright"

I'm pretty sure I gave him a hard glare but he only further infuriated me by leaving me standing there looking like some idiot.

" brilliant " I muttered to myself as I realised it was just me and Alex. When my eyes moved to him I was surprised to see him leant over, his fingers pressing hard onto his head.

" he did a number on you" I speak for the first time in like 3 minutes. Alex gazed up at me quickly shaking his head. I just had to, it was the perfect moment to repeat the words he said to me.

I was proud of this one. I could see the slight movement of his lips curving into a smile.

I fought hard to keep my face straight but I ended up laughing lightly,

"its too fucking cold" I whispered after a while. I looked across the field and couldn't see his dad coming back anytime soon.

"I know, wish he would hurry the fuck up" Alex says rubbing at his arms probably trying to warm himself up.

I sunk back into my scarf hoping to warm up my neck.

"fuck this lets just go" he mutters getting up from his spot on the bench. Without thinking I ran straight up to him holding his arm as lifted himself off.

He glanced at me a smirk riding on his face. It was a smirk that kind of was laughing at me.

"I'm honoured that you think you can pull me up but I think I can cope," he says, I quickly remove my tight hold on him completely ignoring the fact that his arms were too big I had to wrap both hands around it.

I feel kind of rejected but I don't think too much of it.

"don't you want to wait for your dad?" I ask him as we started to walk off the pitch.

"Nah, he only came to see me play I probably won't see him until my next match anyway" he shrugs his shoulder slowly reaching his car.

I watched Sam and Remi sitting in the car waiting for me. Remi was leaning forward her eyes locked onto me. Sam was just on his phone, probably bored as fuck.

"right, well are you sure you're okay to drive," I ask him, giving him a worrying look.

"its alright sweet cheeks I'll drive him," Joe says popping out of nowhere. I even saw Alex jump slightly.

"seriously, sweet cheeks" Alex mutters grabbing the passenger door and yanking it open. Joe smiles over at Alex before sending a wink my way.

"let's be honest here Freya, if you can't see the sexual tension then I think you've lost it" Remi rants as we drive back home.

I managed to finally get away from that bloody pitch and actually go home where I promised myself I would dedicate a hole night to watching some series.

"there is nothing, can you stop already" I groan frustrated.

"Sam help me out here, tell her there's nothing between me and Alex" I turn to him hoping that he will clear this whole thing up for Remi.

He finally takes his eyes off the road when he reaches a light.

"oh no, there's definitely something between you and him" he says rather too quickly for my liking, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

I completely block them two out for the rest of the day. I wasn't even bothering with dinner tonight the fucking idioms can cook for themselves.

But I'm pretty sure by the sound of the doorbell they probably ordered dominoes or something.

Fat shits.

The next day was a boring day, I managed to start the day off nicely with a morning run which I actually haven't done in weeks. I was surprised to see a lot of people out running.

Actually, probably not with the number of students in sports societies.

The day surprisingly went quickly and I'm glad it did I spent most of my day in the school library working on a presentation I had in for next week.

It was a group one so I had to deal with the fucking annoying and unmotivated people in m course which only further pissed me off.

I was travelling back on the bus when all of a sudden, I'm being lifted up from the floor. It was only until I turned around did I realise that it was Joe.

"fucking hell, Joe I thought I was being kidnapped" I say whacking him one of the shoulder. He only smiles at my response.

"don't be so dramatic Freya, where you heading?" he asks me picking up a few pens that had fallen out of my pocket.
