It was really dark , so thank the lord for the flood lights

"DANNY!" Coach screached , Danny had taken such a blow i was sure he would be out for the next week. Bobby called for a break and everyone huddled. "WE HAVE NO OTHER PLAYERS" Coach growls hitting himself in the face with his board

"Blue will play" Stiles blurts and both me and Allison exchange glances. What the heck had he just got me into

"Can she play?" Coach asks eagerly

"Yes" Stiles replies sharply

"BLUE HERD" He shouts and i shrink into the bench thats when Stiles grabs my hand and i cant resist and end up asking where i can get a spare top. He gives me a stick and throws me a jersey printed with the number 18. They rush me onto the pitch where Scott keeps his eyes fixed on me

"Im okay, stop staring" i whisper hitting the side of his arm as he laughs and gets into a stance.

The game starts.
Scott to Isaac to Liam then to Stiles who stands for a few seconds in shock that he had caught it

"Throw it to me, Es!" I shout.

Crap.
I had just called him Es.
As in S for Stiles,
Hanna's nickname for him

He lobs the ball towards me , where i skip through a few openents and spin round Brett. I shoot and i score. I hope he hadnt heard me as everyones cheers break out over the field

"PASS TO HERD" Bobby shouts across the pitch as everyone runs up to praise me. Jake came rampaging at me, but by reading his thoughts i knew where he was going to go instantly. I trip him up with my foot and carry on passing to Scott who scores. I look onto the bleaches to see Derek, Skye and Allison cheering for us.

Suddenly my jersey is tugged to the side and i spring back like a rubber band

"Shes a girl!" Mr Ward shouts in my ear at Bobby Finstock who shrugs

"Yeah, it can be mixed!" I shout back wriggling out his grip but he regrabs me "GET OFF" I hiss whacking arm but he pulls my hair making me fall back into his arms.

"I give you all permission to break every bone in her fragile body" he laughs evilly as the rest of his team whistle and cheer.

"Get off her" Scott shouts coming to my defense

"You think you scare me?" I ask stepping into his face. Mr Ward snarls kneeing me in the stomach, i dont even wince instead i cock my head to one side, Isaac and Scott rampage towards him but i hold them off.

"Your a pathetic person , Terry" i say making Mr Ward cringe at his first name

"You think i dont know , your boyfriend was crying because i took her... shes gone and he still crys for her. YOU WILL NEVER BE HER!" Mr Wards head begins to crazily shake. I take a step back gulping back what i was sure were tears.

"Your a horrible person" i say suddenly regaining my power and stepping forward to grab his shirt

"YOU WILL NEVER MEAN AS MUCH TO HIM AS A 10 YEAR OLD DID!" He stands right in my face

"Stop it" i say queitly

"HOWS IT FEEL TO BE SECOND BEST TO A DEAD GIRL, HUH?" Mr Ward begins to laugh.

Why was i so hurt by this?
Shes me and I am not dead.

"YOUR A LIAR" I shout

"I TOOK HER , SHES DEAD AND YOU SHOULD THANK ME ... WHEN ELSE WOULD YOU GET HIM TO LIKE YOU?!" Terry begins to shake again i take a step backwards "i think hes just sypathy dating you" he returns to a hushed voice

"Were not even dating" i shout throwing a punch at his face. Jake grabs my wrist and twists it but i manage to turn it and i hear a small snap. He swears at me and Mr Ward swings and punches me across my jaw. The ref calls off the game and everyone runs to pull Mr Ward from me

"If only you were her" he hisses before running away after Jake. I turn round to see the whole of the team looking at me. I wipe my face with my hands

"I-i'm s-sorry" i mumble pulling my sleeves over my hands and rushing through the people crowding me. The voices were returning but they were different it was more violent , like a collage of everything he had said to me. I push passed Allison who rushes after me

HOWS IT FEEL TO BE SECOND BEST TO A DEAD GIRL, HUH
YOU WILL NEVER MEAN AS MUCH TO HIM AS A 10 YEAR OLD DID
YOU WILL NEVER BE HER
WHEN ELSE WOULD YOU GET HIM TO LIKE YOU?!

Isaac reaches out to catch me , but his hand flies of so quickly it was like i was too hot to touch. The pain was almost unbearable for him, he falls backwards gripping his wrist in agony. What had i done?

"BLUE PLEASE COME BACK!" Scott shouts but i push through all the sound. Why wasnt i crying? I was running - and that took alot. Then did i realise i was running ,not away, but after Mr Ward. I feel my head aginst something hard and a warm feeling spread through my hair.

"Shes not dead" i say making eye contact with Jake before he sprints after the car his step dad had recently entered. I reach up to touch my head when Allison rushes round the corner

"Blue" she gasps "what did he say?"

"WHEN ELSE WOULD YOU GET HIM TO LIKE YOU?! HOWS IT FEEL TO BE SECOND BEST TO A DEAD GIRL, HUH? YOU WILL NEVER BE HER" i chanted over and over on a loop. Allison watched as i throw my fist into the cement. And she pulled my head into her chest. Scott rushed round the corner , freezing and asking in a slight whisper if im okay "is it true?" I ask Allison who shakes her head

"Blue, me and you both know that answer" she smiles

"Im starting to doubt my decisions" i say standing myself up and punching the wall

"Why dont you cry? I would be in tears and your just... fine" Allison smiles taking my shoulder in her hand

"Havent cried in years" i mutter and Scotts eyes widen slightly "im going home" i say biting my lip and crossing my arms

"Be safe" Allison warns. I begin to walk home suddenly getting a rush of fear, i hadnt heard anything more about my family and i dreaded to think of what had or was happening to them. Suddenly a car whirls past then reverses and winds down the window.

It was Lydia

"We have a slight problem"
