They both look at me with a smile on their faces. "Mine was ok babe! Took the kids to watch that sing film. Oh, it was funny as" Tracy said. "Awww, that's fab, eh, apparently Odeon is doing an autism friendly screening next week. Maybe we should take the kids?" I suggest.I'll have to remember to text me mum at the break, I forgot to tell her I got an email from Odeon this morning, Justin's fault— I start to think of Justin, of his smile, the way he holds me, Kisses me— I'm still on cloud Justin, when Nikki breaks through my thoughts of him "Sorry, what babe? I was in a world of my own then," I tell her.259Please respect copyright.PENANAiJo5E3XzIL

She laughs at me "I was asking what you got up to over the weekend?", "Oh, nothing much just hung with amber and the family" I say, trying to avoid eye contact. "Oh really? Did you not go out on Friday night? 'Cause I could of sworn I saw you in Club Circo?" she smirks raising her eyebrows. Shit, she knows something—Shit, shit! "Oh yeah, our mate Jen got us VIP tickets in" I shrug. Nikki smiles and nods "I saw you, I wanted to come to you, say hi but I wasn't in the VIP area. And the bouncer wouldn't let us through... You looked gorgeous, and I've gotta say, you and Justin make a lovely couple" she states arching an eyebrow. daring me to deny her seeing us together.

Tracy breaks the silence. "What are you two talking about? Who's Justin?" I hide my face when she looks at me, I hear her gasp. "Fuck right off now—Are you shitting me? You're dating Justin Casey? The fuck did this happen? He was only here on Friday!!" she says. "Yeah, I know he was—Calm your tits, it turns out he's my neighbour" I shrug, Tracy frowns confused. "How is an Everton player your neighbour? Why is he living in Kirkby and not somewhere like Formby or somewhere?" she asks. 259Please respect copyright.PENANARMcwvEWd8H

"What does it matter, Trace? He's an Everton player—And? That doesn't define who he is, And I've never known you to judge someone" I scowl at her and she looks guilty as she sighs. "I know, am' sorry! Am' just baffled, it's just—I mean he was only here Friday and now he's your fella AND your neighbour, it's just a surreal babe" she says. "Well, his little brother Brandon is starting here on Wednesday he's autistic. Maybe that's the reason he's local" I shrug. "Does it matter though trace? We shouldn't be judging Eva or Justin. Are you happy Eva babe? Does he make you happy?" Nikki asks.259Please respect copyright.PENANAfQlzeRZp3q

Nikki and Tracy haven't mentioned anything about me and Justin since this morning, thank god, I'm not out the safe zone yet no doubt. We walk the kids in the hall were the children's Carer's and drivers are waiting for them. "I'll see you tomorrow guys. Be good for your mum and dad's" I say to Abbie and Kieran. I am Abbie and Kieran's assigned key worker in school, I'm assigned to them for one to one work as they struggle with group work and other areas in school. I'm in class putting on my coat, I get my phone out and switch it on. I have five missed calls and a text from amber. And a Text from mum telling me we're having Spag bol for tea.

Nice, I don't hear from her over the weekend and that's what I get? Typical, I leave her to stew a bit longer like the "bitch" I am, I laugh to myself! Nikki and Tracy come in they have questions to ask, you can see the curiosity on their faces. "Right, What I want to know is, Is Justin your fella now?" Tracy asks. "Yeah, " I say "We made it official yesterday" I smile. "Wow" Tracy and Nikki say at the same time. "And his brother is starting here on Wednesday?"

I leave before they can say anything else to me, and run to Chelle's office, knocking on her door, I wait for a response "Come in" Chelle says from inside her office. I take a deep breath in. You got this Eva, everything will be okay, I walk in. Michelle is sat behind her desk writing. "Hey Chelle, have you got a minute?" I ask nervously. "Hey Eva, Sure, what's up?" She asks putting her pen down. "Um, I don't know where to start really, " I say nervously. "What's wrong Eva? You can tell me!" She assures me.

"Well, that's alright then, but what's got you worried Eva? I can see it on your face, " She asks, "Um—Well, it's Justin Casey" I whisper, my eyes in my lap. She's quiet, Like really quiet. I look up, and her eyes are wide. "Justin Casey as in Justin Casey the footballer who was here Friday?" She queries.

Oh, thank fuck— I'm ok, We're ok. "I have to be honest Eva, If Brandon was to be in your class, then yes, your worries would have been valid" she clarifies. "But as such, he isn't, luckily for you, Hey?" She smiles wide. I laugh aloud "I literally shit myself Chelle, soon as Tracy and Nikki found out, they told me to speak to you about it. And as much as my relationship with Justin is pretty new, I care deeply for him, I want to see where it goes" I say.259Please respect copyright.PENANAQsZEIN30Xe

"Hey babe, now don't freak ok, holly's here, " she says. "What the fuck Amber? I know my sister is here, now what's going on?" I hiss quietly. "Come on," she says, dragging me upstairs to my room. We get to my room where I see my laptop open. I look at Amber with a frown wondering why she's got my computer open?"Look," she points gesturing to my opened computer. I walk over to my computer and see a website, it's a magazine's website. I gasp in shock at the words on the screen. "Justin Casey got me pregnant then left me for Everton signing" I read aloud. I can't believe this, it can't be true— I look at Amber with tears in my eyes, she comes over and hugs me. "Is this true?" I ask her.259Please respect copyright.PENANAbAwOiZ9K1e

"I don't know babe" she whispers sadly. I pull myself out of her arms and read on Irish beauty, 20yr old Cara O'Donnell tells us that Everton's new striker had gotten her pregnant and left her once Everton scouts signed him. There is a picture of the both of them, they look beautiful together. Tears fall down my face as my phone rings—it's Justin. I answer, partially because I've missed his voice, and I want to hear what he has to say. I put him on speaker so Amber can hear too. "Hey Baby, how was your day? I've missed you, " he says happily. I sniffle-snort. The lying bastard! "Oh really? You miss me? You lying bastard" I snarl.259Please respect copyright.PENANAMW3HMQ6XkS

"Eva? What's going on? What's happened?" He asks frantically. "Oh, nothing BABE!!" I say sarcastically. "Just having a little read of something on some magazine's website. A friend of yours Cara O'Donnell" I sniffle. Why did I fall for him so soon? God, this hurts. Amber holds my hand and takes over just as Justin tries to speak. "Eva? Baby??

"Justin" Amber growls. "This bitch is saying she's pregnant with YOUR baby— That you left her once you were signed with Everton, there's even a picture of the happy couple," She says the last bit bitterly. "What the fuck?" Justin snarls. "Eva, baby, I swear to you—I don't know who this cara is, I swear to Christ almighty, it's impossible for it to be mine, because as embarrassing as this is to say with amber there with you, I'm a virgin" he says adamantly.

"Fuck, I don't know? but Eva, baby listen to me, I am telling you the truth here, I'm a fuckin' virgin, so there's no way that babby is mine" he says. "But the picture...." I argue."Fuck, the picture," he growls. We're all quiet for a bit before Justin sighs and speaks again."Can you forward the picture to me, so I can see for meself?" He asks. Amber does it for me, I hear his text notification, he's quiet for a beat. "THAT FUCKIN' BITCH" He snarls.259Please respect copyright.PENANAMMHz61Qqff

She wanted me to be her fella, she implied that I was in front of all her family and friends. All we did was kiss Eva, I Swear. Then, suddenly, she starts calling me babe and shit. She's a fuckin' crank, Calling me her fella in front of her family and friends. Naturally, I put her straight in front of them, she promised payback. looks like she's got it, " He snarls.

"Fuckin' hell Eva, she asked me to come to her cousin's wedding with her as her date, there was a photographer, she wanted a picture done. I couldn't be arsed with her whining, so I did" he says."So, who's is the baby, then?" Amber asks. "Not fuckin' mine, that's for damn sure. I'll get me agent on to it, Matter o'fact, I don't know why he hasn't fuckin' said anything already. He's meant to be looking out for me, this bitch is already painting me a fuckin' lie, " He snarls. "Listen, I'm gonna go Eva..." He sighs sadly. "I'll speak to you soon.""I'm sor—" I go to apologise, but he's already put the phone down. Shit! "What have I done, amber?" I cry. "Shh, it's alright babe. It'll be okay," she coos soothingly. I drop on my bed and lay down, crying myself to sleep. The last thing I think is I hope all will be okay?
