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...254Please respect copyright.PENANA3SdesXPT7j
254Please respect copyright.PENANA7n9SdQn8RR
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...254Please respect copyright.PENANAfXM51oOEpx
254Please respect copyright.PENANAB5m9n2EJgO
Hey beautiful,254Please respect copyright.PENANAtOOrhYnsV7
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! 254Please respect copyright.PENANAYX6ZQf0QSY
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 soon254Please respect copyright.PENANAWwE9xn7gPH

254Please respect copyright.PENANAPe8voy06bb
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 254Please respect copyright.PENANA2jl7Xw2awZ
254Please respect copyright.PENANAvYT3LyxRdx
"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 254Please respect copyright.PENANA4AfEg8Daz2
254Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7Jyxf0sOf
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANAZZ6k748yYR
254Please respect copyright.PENANA2e37VGmHbG
"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...254Please respect copyright.PENANAJXphjGOJks
254Please respect copyright.PENANAOdptgnF3Jn
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 254Please respect copyright.PENANAghp4uFy69I
254Please respect copyright.PENANAfBPflWeF3s
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 worriedly254Please respect copyright.PENANA6xNNkKmXkK
254Please respect copyright.PENANABH2kMVOUy4
"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.254Please respect copyright.PENANAHdl2AFBkP8
254Please respect copyright.PENANAeZ1EEieu3O
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 254Please respect copyright.PENANAdJhCD4tVDX
254Please respect copyright.PENANAYITes0teex
"I've got that just eat app on my phone, you reckon they're listed on it?" He asks looking at his phone254Please respect copyright.PENANA0QAr3utlpz
254Please respect copyright.PENANAs3mTwSY8Fk
I shrug "Our school order from them too, for staff dinners. I think Jill orders from her phone" 254Please respect copyright.PENANACUJ3XKoUTv
254Please respect copyright.PENANA8PeOZsvbWf
"Yep here it is, don't even have to step out my door" he laughs gleefully 254Please respect copyright.PENANARLrvl1qRRU
254Please respect copyright.PENANADaUkt3mWMR
I laugh "What time do Everton kick off, dad?" I ask as I take my meds254Please respect copyright.PENANAsvB4Ir7pJA
254Please respect copyright.PENANApFxwahfWXD
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 254Please respect copyright.PENANAZOCZUbK4GW
254Please respect copyright.PENANA0Sx5zeMr64
"Did you get your shirt from lover boy?" Dad teases254Please respect copyright.PENANAVonxyb0QSU
254Please respect copyright.PENANAxWBREfoFAI
"Yep" I grin "Did YOU?" I tease254Please respect copyright.PENANABq6GK0RjQY
254Please respect copyright.PENANADIxT4fgZxd
"Yeah," He grins then frowns "Wait, hang on he's not my lover boy" He says adamantly 254Please respect copyright.PENANAA1qVTgtYni
254Please respect copyright.PENANAASmKr4jfYw
"I know dad, am just messing with you, Calm ya farm" I laugh "What does yours say on the back?" I ask 254Please respect copyright.PENANAvF0zWDl73g
254Please respect copyright.PENANA2UKMDZKY8T
"Paddy, number 1" he boasts "Did he go caveman on yours?" He teases 254Please respect copyright.PENANA38Ca2TOws2
254Please respect copyright.PENANAYQMkpizn05
"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 panic254Please respect copyright.PENANAudXrhRGNbL
254Please respect copyright.PENANAiUUGkELXuP
"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 explains254Please respect copyright.PENANAsCoHK7SPfD
254Please respect copyright.PENANAXyLmp9OmVT
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.254Please respect copyright.PENANA9a7JM1jKhA
254Please respect copyright.PENANAa3g2wa7gLV
"Never guess who's friar tucks delivery boy—well man," Dad says coming into the kitchen 254Please respect copyright.PENANAmDQsEjTQNQ
254Please respect copyright.PENANAB7x2SSathf
"Who?" I frown254Please respect copyright.PENANATPhZbGGWq8
254Please respect copyright.PENANAdBZ6uXWNSt
"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.254Please respect copyright.PENANAvolp0VJSQH
254Please respect copyright.PENANAv59WHk3hrn
"Dad, what's wrong?" I ask 254Please respect copyright.PENANAVSI4NiJ6Xb
254Please respect copyright.PENANAKwzrmwBhi4
"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.254Please respect copyright.PENANATF9L2vFr5K
254Please respect copyright.PENANAzpQtau7fQa
A car horn beeps from outside "Baby girl, our rides here" Dad yells254Please respect copyright.PENANA38kRhUixSM
254Please respect copyright.PENANAoAlx1ypah0
"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 254Please respect copyright.PENANALF7rfOexZj
254Please respect copyright.PENANANH4LyvNOg1
"Yep," I reply grinning excitedly 254Please respect copyright.PENANANToxft9I5N
254Please respect copyright.PENANAyofaYzBhsK
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"254Please respect copyright.PENANAKxu4dPNlga
254Please respect copyright.PENANAdNLtw0xdW4
I sit looking around the beautiful Benz Justin had sent us to be picked up in. I get a text message from Justin 254Please respect copyright.PENANAULh5KVqZQW
254Please respect copyright.PENANAtdvzLNRSpv
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"254Please respect copyright.PENANAViAGc4MNg8
254Please respect copyright.PENANA7nYvsr0hTu
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"254Please respect copyright.PENANAmar4aygK0W
254Please respect copyright.PENANAo1OBxDPIIV
His reply is instant, Justin: "I'll always need your kisses baby. See you soon Xxx"254Please respect copyright.PENANAqEYX66GRn1
254Please respect copyright.PENANA926HalMP1q
I sigh happily and enjoy the ride, as I make my way to the man I love...
