Charlotte's Pov
It's been a few days since we had gotten Brianna back, and from when Lucas had killed himself by walking off that ledge, Alex has took the death hard but It's understandable she lost her brother, if I lost my brother I wouldn't know what to do.
But anyways the rugby team have their big final tonight, even though Alex hasn't been playing alot of the match, they had gotten through to the final, the closest they have ever got to winning was 3rd, I think Alex is just a miracle for this team, and the face card, just saying.
"Are you playing tonight, you don't have to with your back" I ask Alex "of course I'm playing, why wouldn't I" Alex asks then Aiden came running in "the team sheets are out for tonight, us and Stonewall" Aiden then sticks his phone in my face "no harm, but how the fuck am I meant to read that" I say pushing Aiden's hand away from my face.
"I'm surprised they haven't cancelled" Samuel says "why" Alex asks, she really is clueless "well some teams have pulled out of the league, because we were hiding that we had you playing for us" Samuel says to Alex and her eyes widen "really, because I'm that good" Alex says cocky, now she'll never stop bragging about that now.
A little highlight of Alex's life, she's recently went viral, for god knows what, and the media are calling her the next star, I've bagged a good one.
"Well, I think we all know that the kids life if already all planed" Jessica says motioning to my belly "what, that they'll be a rugby player?" Alex asks confused she really doesn't have brain cells "yeh, what else would they play tennis, while their mom is a rugby legend" she asks "well I'm really good at tennis to oh and football and badminton" Alex continues "okay shut up" Jessica snaps.
"Wait so where am I playing" Alex asks "number 8" Aiden says and Alex nods her head "I so hope we can win tonight, it will be life changing for Westwood, this match will likely be filmed, won't it" Samuel asks "yeh, all their matches are because of how good they are, but if we beat them, we'll be the best of the west" Alexander says "then lets fucking win this" Alex says.
Alex's Pov
I'm sitting in the changing rooms waiting for everyone else to get ready, we were already out for our warm up, I really hope I can lead this team to win and to humble these Basterds.
"Alright everyone" Coach Philips says gathering everyone into a circle in the changing rooms "right, I don't want any funny business, or shit tonight, you reck them out there, if you don't they'll surely do it to you, they always pick out the best players and injure them, so we protect Alex as much as possible, she's the key that will get us the win, okay now go out there and humble them Basterds, and lets fucking win!" Coach Philip finishes.
"Alex hang back a sec" Coach Philip asks and I nod my head, everyone then makes there way to the tunnel before walking out "I need you to be on your best tonight, right, you need to be making them gaps, making them passes, and making them tackles count, they'll try and get in your head, block them, and fuck them up" Coach Philip says then he puts his hand on my head then gently pushes me out of the changing room.
I then make my way to the tunnel, passing by the other team, and getting alot of glances, I then make my way to the front of my team, at this point the anxiety is getting real, I look down at my feet and see my freshly washed blue boots that have CHARLOTTE AUBREY wrote on the bottom, then my legs, the muscles in my legs are tense, with my knee taped, then my hands both of my wrists taped with CAW then a kiss mark.
I look up to see that the lights were just turned on and then the cheering started "welcome everyone, tonight we are here to witness Westwood VS Stonewall, two teams we never thought would face each other in the final" they have a commentor and all a bit excessive if you ask me.
"Tonight Stonewall are hosting the final for the cup, which team will come out on top" he then shuts up and then that's our time to walk out, we walk out until we get to the grass we then run onto the pitch, then we get into two lines.
"Tonight the home team Stonewall will be captained by Jake Millar" wait, I look over and see that he is already looking at me with that stupid smirk, Jasmines brother.
"And captaining Westwood is Alex Blackwell, you heard it everyone, the one and only Alex Blackwell" right enough with the praise.
I look out into the crowd and see Charlotte and all the other girls, I lock eyes with Charlotte up in the stands and she mouths 'you can do this'.
Now is just trying to believe in myself.
We then got to our places and we were starting with the ball as were the away team, I was in charge of kicking the ball, I let the ball drop to the ground and on the rebounce I kick it nearly went out but Stonewall had lifted one of their players to catch it.
We got up and got pressing quickly, tackle after tackle, they weren't getting anywhere until Stonewall did a dummy causing Samuel to miss his tackle, the only problem is that the wee fucker is a winger and were having a hard time catching him.
But if I cross him off I'll get him down, he's so close to the try line, I can't let this happen "looks like Stonewall is going to score not even 2 minutes into the game" the commentator says "Alex, fucking beat him to it" Coach Philips shouts, I extend my arm and just managed to get my finger tips on his jersey, I then dropped my weight causing him to fall, the best is that none of him team could catch him so he just let the ball go, I mean if he didn't it would be our ball either way.
I get the ball and make to about half pitch til I get tackled by Jake, we make little progress as their defence is very good, but we get the ball for a scrum and we push as far as we can push then I lift it and run before they can break the scrum, I hand off some of the back now I'm just left with the full back, I run as fast as my legs could but I have him on my back, I then felt him grab my legs and tackle, I extent my arm as far as I could and BANG, just barely over the line.
"Westwood score, by Alex Blackwell" yeah that's right you cunt, I throw the ball over my head and swing my arms in the air "THAT'S HOW YOU FUCKING DO IT!" I yell into the crowd.
I look over to where Charlotte was sitting and she up dancing and jumping about with Megan, but then I felt Alexander run into me near knocking me over "fuck yeah, Blackwell" Alexander says putting me in a headlock as we walk over to our team again "Alex here" Coach Philip says handing me the kicking tee, I then grab the ball that I threw, then I set the ball on top of the tee, I then calmed down my breathing and took a few steps back, I did a short run and kick, I thought the ball wasn't going to go in, I had kicked it straight on accident because I hadn't kicked in a long time, but it had the smallest curve at the end that made it hit the post then in.
I then looked over to where Jake was and he looked pissed.
I throw the tee of to Coach Philips then ran back to my position to restart the game.
Charlotte Pov
It has been such an intense match, there is one boy on the other team that must now Alex, because they have been at each others necks, and they have been the only ones who have been scoring tries.
But Alex is currently off for 10 minutes because she was given a yellow card, because she started to get cocky and kept knocking the ball on when ever the others had it, like if she was intercepting she wouldn't try and catch it, she'd slam it.
But also with Alex being off Stonewall have token the lead with 12-7, but the ten minutes is nearly up.
"Hey, are these seats free" a female voice asks, wait, I look up to see Jasmine "what the fuck are you doing here" I ask standing up "I'll just sit somewhere else" she says then she walks off "who was that" Megan asks confused "Alex's ex girlfriend".
Alex's Pov (again)
20,19,18,17 oh come on hurry up, this match has gotten out of hand, even since I was given a yellow card the team has lost their flow, and were about to go down even more, because Jake has just broken our defence line.
5,4,3,2,1 finally, I jump off the chair and shove my gumshield in and quickly run after Jake, but I don't think I'll get there in time, no matter how fast I go, I'll not catch him.
When Jake reached the try line he didn't put the ball down, and he mustn't have seen me either, I get low and then I dump tackle him, pulling his out.
"What the fuck are you doing" he says kicking me off him "you fucking bastard" he then lifted me off the floor by my jersey and then backed me again one of the posts "wow come on now big boy" I say laughing, then the ref came and broke us, just then I saw the ref reach into his pocket, awk no not another one, that's me off for good.
"Jake Millar off with a yellow card" wait oh god thank fuck, with Jake off the match will be alot easier, like child's play.
We got the ball for a line out, Aiden and I lifted James up, then we got it pushed up the field and then the ball was thrown out to the winger but he gets tackled, but he got it offloaded before he fully tackled.
Then the ball had been pasted down to me, I did a fake pass and made a gap for me to be able to get through, I then ran between the posts, that's us equal now.
There isn't that long let to the end of the game, after Jake finishes his 10 minutes there will be about 5 minutes left.
But the 10 minutes felt very short as he was back on in no time.
The game is still at 12-14 were still leading so if we keep this were good, but just as I had gotten the ball I got tackled very hard by Jake, resulting in me getting slammed on the ground, fuck, I get the ball out but I didn't get up, oh god.
I then heard the whistle stopping play then I looked up and saw Adam standing over me then the rest of my team came over, then our medical team came on to see if I was okay, to be honest, I think I'm just winded.
I got up fine and dandy after getting my breath back, but just after I went down Stonewall got a penalty and they decided to kick and they got it in so, it's now down to 15-14 fuck.
We then wasted no time in starting again, we kicked it, but you could tell we were all tired because the game at became sloppy, and we have made so many mistakes, but then the fucking idiots dropped the ball knocking it on, we took a scrum, we did the normal, get it as far as we could get it up the pitch then I picked the ball and went myself, absolutely smashing their scrum half.
As I ran I realised I am running the whole pitch by myself, but out of no where Jake popped out and he looked like he was gonna tackle me from the side so I did a quick stop and he falls on his ass making me laugh as I run and score the try.
Fucking legendary.
I then ran over to the camera that was filming it and kissed it, then the rest of the team joined me.
We had won.
As I was walking to take the conversion I looked over at Charlotte and kissed my wrist.
It didn't matter if I got the conversion or not but it was in front of the posts, even if I tried I couldn't miss it.
Stonewall then kicked to get the game going but then it ran into the 80 minutes, Samuel caught it then he passed it to me and I drop kicked it out.
The cheering and celebrations could be heard from miles.
I then felt my feet lift from the ground, Coach Philips lifted me up on to his shoulders "our legend, our captain, Alex Blackwell" then the whole team regrouped and I was thrown in the middle the thrown in the air "oi, oi stop, Ima be sick" I yell, then they all put me down.
I lifted my head and saw, the love of my life, Charlotte came running over to me and hugged me "kiss me" Charlotte says "bu-" "no buts" Charlotte cut me off by kissing me, then the camera swarmed around us, and all the boys on my team started whistling.
"I love you, Alex Blackwell" Charlotte says loud and proud "I love you, Charlotte Aubrey Williamson" I reply with.
Soon then the cup lifting was being set out and the schools name had already been carved, I went last as I was the Captain, we were first given the medals then I was given the cup, as I walked over to the rest of my team everyone was hitting the board in front of them waiting for me to lift it.
I then lifted it and soon then got covered in Champaign.
After everything calmed down people started taking pictures with the cup "Alex, come here" Mr Williamson says "yes sir" I ask "I want a picture with you, Charlotte and the cup" he said as he take his phone out, Charlotte then stands in front of me with the cup in her hands, then I rest my hands on her bump.
Then Mr Williamson took a picture with me him and the cup.
I'm so happy right now, I don't want this to end.
I made them win because, guess what we won at the weekend tehehe, 19-11 lets go, I was on for like 5 mins and I arrived only at the second half, and the other coach for the other connected to ours was so happy to see me, anyways I was on for 5 minutes, I got the best run of my life then I got tackled and someone booted me in the eye, so I'm half blind in my left eye.
Amazing
Oh and I had to put the icon Ilona Maher in.
Bye xx.
