I wake up with a gasp, drenched in sweat, I had a nightmare, my first nightmare about my attacker. All I could see was his evil eyes shining in amusement at my fear, his voice— I shiver, God, that horrible voice that will stay with me until the day I die. I notice I'm alone in my bed, but there is an Everton shirt laid on my chair, it has my name and Justin's number eight on the back...275Please respect copyright.PENANAesuNUxnoKM
275Please respect copyright.PENANAqdBWs8loLa
I laugh at my caveman, I also notice a note with long-stemmed rose on the table next to my new shirt, I lift the rose to my nose inhaling the scent as I read the note justin left for me...275Please respect copyright.PENANAEONqHHClwC
275Please respect copyright.PENANAZAYMDRtw5k
Hey beautiful,275Please respect copyright.PENANA3i7fa3xSTe
I hope you slept well? I'm sorry am not there with you now. I had to leave early to train before the game. Here's your new shirt as promised, I was going to write JUSTIN'S with my number but thought that's a bit a caveman, Ha! 275Please respect copyright.PENANAV7wMbqNsoX
Anyway, I've arranged for transport to pick you and your dad up. You'll be brought around the back to avoid the press, where I will be waiting for you. I love you, baby, See you soon275Please respect copyright.PENANAX1WoLojJ6A

275Please respect copyright.PENANA9QQqISA4sz
Putting down the note and the Rose, I leave my room. Walking down our stairs slowly, I hold my ribs, as they're a little tender this morning, I wince each step I take down the stairs 275Please respect copyright.PENANAP31LywSCxK
275Please respect copyright.PENANA1KV8m7YVfi
"I thought I heard someone," Dad says as he meets me at the bottom of the stairs "You okay, baby girl? Do you need your pain meds?" He must notice my grimace 275Please respect copyright.PENANAdt86dI3OhY
275Please respect copyright.PENANAPJPKCuuK69
I nod "Please, am a little tender this morning" I smile at him. Dad eyes me worriedly "Maybe I should call Justin, tell him you won't be going, you need your rest," he says getting his phone from his pocket.275Please respect copyright.PENANAuTwXuXKIU8
275Please respect copyright.PENANAXMf0UVHHl7
"No, dad, I wanna go. Am fine, I promise, I just need my pain meds then I'll be right as rain when they kick in" I say putting a hand on his phone, He looks at me warily in the eyes, trying to figure out whether or not to call Justin, or just let me go the game...275Please respect copyright.PENANA6XU4VjdyWc
275Please respect copyright.PENANA3GR7J4RWIc
He sighs "Fine, okay, let's get you your meds—do you want something to eat? You didn't eat your tea last night" He says as he gets my meds from the medicine cupboard 275Please respect copyright.PENANA5rumTilL8H
275Please respect copyright.PENANA0JJIMhpqpA
I nod as my stomach growls in response "Am starving, I'm sorry about leaving my tea, I must have been more tired then I thought. Was mum okay? I know she went to so much trouble making it" I ask worriedly275Please respect copyright.PENANABhRGJmZpL7
275Please respect copyright.PENANAhw4SHwDGp3
"Of course, baby girl, she knew you needed your rest. So," He claps his hands grinning "What are you feeling for? Maccies? Friar Tucks?" He asks excitedly.275Please respect copyright.PENANASeTXxAapCs
275Please respect copyright.PENANAwgm1bE9Xvo
I laugh, the man is as bad as me for food "Let's go for friar tucks, can you ask them for a full breakfast with extra toast. Oh, and a pure orange juice, please." I say licking my lips 275Please respect copyright.PENANADTztY8llKO
275Please respect copyright.PENANACMsTsMR4Kq
"I've got that just eat app on my phone, you reckon they're listed on it?" He asks looking at his phone275Please respect copyright.PENANAjUPrNVlwfa
275Please respect copyright.PENANAjludnhlnj8
I shrug "Our school order from them too, for staff dinners. I think Jill orders from her phone" 275Please respect copyright.PENANA5N3DAIDSAX
275Please respect copyright.PENANACN3EEoaq3E
"Yep here it is, don't even have to step out my door" he laughs gleefully 275Please respect copyright.PENANAqMTAUlePwM
275Please respect copyright.PENANAC0raDyKZVo
I laugh "What time do Everton kick off, dad?" I ask as I take my meds275Please respect copyright.PENANAX0Kzih5Sng
275Please respect copyright.PENANAHbgGuEgYRH
He looks up at me from his phone "It's 1 o'clock kick off, baby girl..." I look at the clock "It's 10.15, so we've got plenty of time" I say 275Please respect copyright.PENANALoaUwiIBXj
275Please respect copyright.PENANATQpmh2WT7F
"Did you get your shirt from lover boy?" Dad teases275Please respect copyright.PENANAqZM580DiG5
275Please respect copyright.PENANAz8kc7GRiFk
"Yep" I grin "Did YOU?" I tease275Please respect copyright.PENANAx7Q8Td0yHf
275Please respect copyright.PENANAgiKPqukRMG
"Yeah," He grins then frowns "Wait, hang on he's not my lover boy" He says adamantly 275Please respect copyright.PENANA7PYJogT3QF
275Please respect copyright.PENANAazphVHiBaH
"I know dad, am just messing with you, Calm ya farm" I laugh "What does yours say on the back?" I ask 275Please respect copyright.PENANA5QoLOSIsWc
275Please respect copyright.PENANA3V9SZMLqgO
"Paddy, number 1" he boasts "Did he go caveman on yours?" He teases 275Please respect copyright.PENANAEsYYSvZnoo
275Please respect copyright.PENANAppDpsQwi6E
"Not really, Mine says Eva, number eight" I smile shyly "Oh, He said he has arranged transport to pick us up too—shit, he didn't say what time," I panic275Please respect copyright.PENANAQmDyqRQ481
275Please respect copyright.PENANAoLE6mRvY1u
"Chill baby girl, the car will be here at 12.15. Traffic is most likely going to be a twat, so we'll leave extra early" Dad explains275Please respect copyright.PENANAaSFvUp2rcq
275Please respect copyright.PENANAkLsP67xHCe
20mins later, there's a knock on the door "Food," Me and Dad say happily, picking up his wallet dad goes to the front door. I hear him talking to the delivery lad, Thanking him then shuts the door.275Please respect copyright.PENANAF49GL7iF8m
275Please respect copyright.PENANAd3U9N8UWuH
"Never guess who's friar tucks delivery boy—well man," Dad says coming into the kitchen 275Please respect copyright.PENANA3URNINL4Rv
275Please respect copyright.PENANAagPhlXhyOG
"Who?" I frown275Please respect copyright.PENANAF6262LgacR
275Please respect copyright.PENANAIsLvpXUwlr
"Someone I used to go to school with, God, he's aged more than I have," He says "That bastard fancied the fuck outta your mum as well" He growls "Don't think he recognised me either" He muses as he gets a faraway look in his eyes.275Please respect copyright.PENANASpVzFmfOih
275Please respect copyright.PENANAwPdXhvHVWg
"Dad, what's wrong?" I ask 275Please respect copyright.PENANARfnCedMmua
275Please respect copyright.PENANA9KqRxVuEHE
"What?!? Oh, nothing, baby girl. He creeps me the fuck out that dude, always has. Anyway, let's eat eh? We got us a game to get to" He says excitedly but his eyes hold a look, a look that he's keeping something from me. We start to eat, but I make a mental note to ask dad what the delivery dudes name is, and mention it to Justin once the game is over. Once we ate our food, I started to get ready. I had to make adjustments to my shirt for my cast. One side of my top is being kept together by nappy pins. Thank god our Catherine was here to help, cos if she wasn't I would of have to have asked dad, And that would have been awkward as shit. Doing what I could with my hair, or what's left of it, dad had gave me the idea of a comb-over, so gently I brought over my hair from the opposite side of my stitches so it covered them just enough and then I was able to throw it up in a ponytail, finishing my look, I put mascara and lip gloss on, leaving my face bare.275Please respect copyright.PENANADGSbaMxweo
275Please respect copyright.PENANAQq9ka8WYwc
A car horn beeps from outside "Baby girl, our rides here" Dad yells275Please respect copyright.PENANADB6cQcdqeO
275Please respect copyright.PENANAWjwAV7WCkn
"Coming" I yell back, I look myself over again in my mirror, I huff you look like shite, Eva...I shake my head, Thankful justin wasn't here to hear my negativity about myself "Right, let's go kick some fuckin arse," I say to my reflection and meet dad at the bottom of the stairs, he's grinning as I hit the bottom step "You Ready, baby girl?" Dad asks 275Please respect copyright.PENANAogqWwFJvFF
275Please respect copyright.PENANAWwmfJYoRkX
"Yep," I reply grinning excitedly 275Please respect copyright.PENANAB8cmq0zW6g
275Please respect copyright.PENANA9DsK6PKI96
I text Justin from the car, which by the way, is far too fucking extravagant for my liking. Me: "Hey baby, We're on our way. We didn't need to arrive in a Benz, I'm not used to driving around in such extravagance. Taking a cab would have been fine, but Thankyou. I can't wait to see you, I love you Xxx"275Please respect copyright.PENANAk0KmDGdQ9i
275Please respect copyright.PENANA872sEGLp6J
I sit looking around the beautiful Benz Justin had sent us to be picked up in. I get a text message from Justin 275Please respect copyright.PENANA1GnXEenSXJ
275Please respect copyright.PENANAaNzUm7ywfn
Justin: "My woman will always travel in style, bet paddy's loving it? I can't wait to see you too baby, I love you! Gonna need my good luck kiss before kick off too Xxx"275Please respect copyright.PENANAz8vPNW1SkY
275Please respect copyright.PENANAtB7kbyuuQC
I reply, Me: "You are so fuckin sweet! Of course, dad is in car heaven. Not that you'll need the good luck, but my lips will be ready and waiting Xxx"275Please respect copyright.PENANA0U4kbqcDcd
275Please respect copyright.PENANAC0DF2LU77E
His reply is instant, Justin: "I'll always need your kisses baby. See you soon Xxx"275Please respect copyright.PENANAITUBE2KM8T
275Please respect copyright.PENANAQ5xy5aExQJ
I sigh happily and enjoy the ride, as I make my way to the man I love...
