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...288Please respect copyright.PENANAc3E6A43DJf
288Please respect copyright.PENANAz8TZndogXL
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...288Please respect copyright.PENANAWl91MRn2s9
288Please respect copyright.PENANAwyJYfHadbq
Hey beautiful,288Please respect copyright.PENANAH5NTr7gRFe
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! 288Please respect copyright.PENANAF19Czd63j5
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 soon288Please respect copyright.PENANAYri1g5MTJD

288Please respect copyright.PENANAvugO0Vj3GX
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 288Please respect copyright.PENANAnv12XGQHRv
288Please respect copyright.PENANAxbDQERFVvZ
"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 288Please respect copyright.PENANAZ1h6JEnqsX
288Please respect copyright.PENANAokJ4advP7k
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.288Please respect copyright.PENANAm4zSCw23qf
288Please respect copyright.PENANAjaTMbEK0p8
"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...288Please respect copyright.PENANAttAItBCfWY
288Please respect copyright.PENANAHeLMpaHmyc
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 288Please respect copyright.PENANApSSfLZQOiy
288Please respect copyright.PENANAJoZDDik4fb
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 worriedly288Please respect copyright.PENANARVAoC6HYZz
288Please respect copyright.PENANAFyXiFf4Gpt
"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.288Please respect copyright.PENANAbIrRHv1aNl
288Please respect copyright.PENANAKzfE0iWR6D
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 288Please respect copyright.PENANAado5AQAkdt
288Please respect copyright.PENANA9dsbW5K9dS
"I've got that just eat app on my phone, you reckon they're listed on it?" He asks looking at his phone288Please respect copyright.PENANA2dGe1DtOyg
288Please respect copyright.PENANAoRYJ9HgNkP
I shrug "Our school order from them too, for staff dinners. I think Jill orders from her phone" 288Please respect copyright.PENANAZrRkwFXlHz
288Please respect copyright.PENANAKlZYJBrGyN
"Yep here it is, don't even have to step out my door" he laughs gleefully 288Please respect copyright.PENANA3s8b2shuNj
288Please respect copyright.PENANAOjJoV28fez
I laugh "What time do Everton kick off, dad?" I ask as I take my meds288Please respect copyright.PENANAcO2RhM2FYQ
288Please respect copyright.PENANAgCp4jU6asP
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 288Please respect copyright.PENANA9XQapRUz3z
288Please respect copyright.PENANAOSb5rPbI9t
"Did you get your shirt from lover boy?" Dad teases288Please respect copyright.PENANAZyQIAUd6kP
288Please respect copyright.PENANAyuc0Hb4tDK
"Yep" I grin "Did YOU?" I tease288Please respect copyright.PENANAiq8XSK0aWO
288Please respect copyright.PENANANFdGObm9vF
"Yeah," He grins then frowns "Wait, hang on he's not my lover boy" He says adamantly 288Please respect copyright.PENANAQ7pIJOQZZP
288Please respect copyright.PENANAI2ZggGAnTf
"I know dad, am just messing with you, Calm ya farm" I laugh "What does yours say on the back?" I ask 288Please respect copyright.PENANATAsqJnP7fd
288Please respect copyright.PENANAYj56V6ORIx
"Paddy, number 1" he boasts "Did he go caveman on yours?" He teases 288Please respect copyright.PENANA5tQNeyHmgg
288Please respect copyright.PENANA7qHWhxoh3M
"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 panic288Please respect copyright.PENANADHL5UpIxAz
288Please respect copyright.PENANA36uyBgzsdI
"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 explains288Please respect copyright.PENANAc4woTFx68F
288Please respect copyright.PENANAim72bQr2J2
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.288Please respect copyright.PENANA4MfOR4Wpm6
288Please respect copyright.PENANALZQe4m8m5p
"Never guess who's friar tucks delivery boy—well man," Dad says coming into the kitchen 288Please respect copyright.PENANAgJmyw15HdS
288Please respect copyright.PENANAX48ejwbSxf
"Who?" I frown288Please respect copyright.PENANA4JpUiRx4ll
288Please respect copyright.PENANAms6g6ON7Ap
"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.288Please respect copyright.PENANAOIR9CJouGC
288Please respect copyright.PENANA3WN65XQaJZ
"Dad, what's wrong?" I ask 288Please respect copyright.PENANACdO2pAkdID
288Please respect copyright.PENANAWLIaRgSFip
"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.288Please respect copyright.PENANA7RGvAJx0O7
288Please respect copyright.PENANAOIxcfXFKfW
A car horn beeps from outside "Baby girl, our rides here" Dad yells288Please respect copyright.PENANA2Z7iOIALd2
288Please respect copyright.PENANAqZSdU1glyL
"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 288Please respect copyright.PENANAOlOrwxtbI4
288Please respect copyright.PENANAvqBpQwiEA4
"Yep," I reply grinning excitedly 288Please respect copyright.PENANAFLEts3ZqrO
288Please respect copyright.PENANAORRyHz5Egb
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"288Please respect copyright.PENANAMSVwBIZ4mZ
288Please respect copyright.PENANA9JVrv50LM2
I sit looking around the beautiful Benz Justin had sent us to be picked up in. I get a text message from Justin 288Please respect copyright.PENANAkdqMHtjwhl
288Please respect copyright.PENANAwskrnu7taG
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"288Please respect copyright.PENANAI0UnEb6kYB
288Please respect copyright.PENANA8elVvWoS5G
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"288Please respect copyright.PENANAxSQdpvBpWR
288Please respect copyright.PENANAyh9kFQiwd2
His reply is instant, Justin: "I'll always need your kisses baby. See you soon Xxx"288Please respect copyright.PENANANaFPNZ3NeK
288Please respect copyright.PENANAc6rz84Jtht
I sigh happily and enjoy the ride, as I make my way to the man I love...
