The Broken Girl

CHAPTER 3

Xavier’s POV
I hated that we had to move. My dad got a promotion and so we had to move,
I had my only friends there, I was a star back home. The best quarterback now I
had to work all over if I ever wanted that title back. I’m now at the school I’ll be
attending Monday, Westwood high school. Since there training started already I
had to come and meet my new coach and teammates. “You must be Xavier.” I
turned around to see a man in his early forties but was well fit for his age. “Yes
sir, and you must be coach Brady.” I replied shaking his hands. “Follow me.” he
said turning around and waking to where I guess would be the field. “Hey Chad
take your ass and get over here.” I heard him shout to someone. I looked up to
see a guy about 6’3, he was well built and had sandy blonde hair with hazel
eyes. He seem like the typical golden boy of the school and I’m guessing he is
the quarterback and captain of the team.
“What’s up coach?” he asked coach as soon as he reached us. “This is
Xavier a new member of the team and I want you to teach him to ropes of how
we work. Basically he’ll be shadowing you for a few days.” Coach Bradey told
him. “Why me coach?’ he asked looking at me. “Because he is our backup
quarterback and will be our quarterback after you graduate this year.” He
replied. “ok.” was his simple reply. Turning to me with an outstretched hand he
introduced himself “ I’m Chad. Glad to have you on the team.” I shaked his
hand but didn’t say anything. After I got changed he introduced me to th rest of
the team and showed me there game plans. I ain’t going lie training was a bit
intense. “Hey Xavier.” I heard someone call out to me when I was about to head
home. I turned around to see it was Chad, I waited for him to reach where I was;when he finally did he said “I was wondering if you wanted to come by my
house and play a few video games?” he asked scratching the back of his head.
Seeing as I didn’t have anything better to do I answered “sure.” “cool, just
follow me in your car.” He said before getting into his own.
I followed him and noticed that we were in the rich part of the town. He
soon pulled up in front of a nice three story house. It had beautiful with a
garden. I parked behind him and got out. “Follow me.” he said walking up to
the front door. I followed him in, I have to say this was a fine house and its even
bigger than how it looked on the outside. He went ahead to go up the stairs but
glanced into the kitchen. His mood seem to change, it’s like whatever or
whomever he saw he didn’t like. Wanting to see what the cause of his sudden
shift I peeped into the kitchen to see a girl with long blond hair and the same
eyes as Chad. She had a perfect body and was beautiful. Chad introduced me to
her, she only nodded her head in reply. We then headed upstairs to his room.
Wanting to break the silence I said “she is your sister huh.” He turned around
and looked at me the said “she is not my sister; she is no one.” I was shocked by
what he said, I am sure that she is his sister so why does he act the way he does
or why the hell he even introduced me since he hate her so much?
After a few round of video game I decided it was about time to go home.
“Thanks for the game.” I called to him before heading out of his room. “ hey
wait, why don’t you come by tomorrow morning and I could catch you up on a
few things before we head to training?” he asked me. Thinking through the offer
I nodded my head as a reply then closed the door behind me. When I reached
downstairs I looked around to see if I could spot his sister but I didn’t. I headed
home soon after. After getting home I told my parents about my day and
excused myself as soon as I could. I couldn’t get her out of my head, the way
she tried to hide the sadness in her eyes. What could she have done to have her
brother hate her that much? Closing my eyes I drift off to sleep with one thought
on my mind I will find out the secret of the Wells family.
I woke up early the next morning remembering I had to go by Chad’s
house today. Only grabbing an apple to eat I told my parents by and hopped in
my car and head over to Chad’s. Pressing the door bell. The door was soon
answered by a lady in her late thirties. You could see that she wasn’t one to
mess with. Realizing she had the same eyes as Chad and Katie I concluded that
she must be there mother. “Hi Mrs.Wells .” I said with an outstretched hand.
She looked at my hand then back at me “ Please don’t tell me your dating that
brat daughter of mine, you could do so much better.” She said to me. I was shocked at what she said, what mother would say such a thing about there
daughter? Before I could say anything I heard Chad’s voice “Hey man, glad you
could make it.” Turing to his mother he said “Mom this is the guy who will be
taking over when I graduate.”. his mother looked at me then smiled, “I’m so
sorry about earlier come on in, I should’ve known someone like you could
never fall for that sorry excuse of a daughter.
I put on a fake smile and followed them inside, going into the kitchen I
saw a tall man with the same hair as Chad but a very powerful and dangerous
aura about him. “Honey, this is Chad friend from school.” Mrs. Wells
introduced me to the man. “Hello son, I’m guessing you play football as well.”
He said giving me a firm handshake. If I didn’t see how they talked about their
daughter I would think they are very nice people. We all heard someone but no
one paid it any mind since they all knew who it as. “Good morning .” I heard
she said with hope or excitement, maybe both. No one answered her, looking up
I saw her smile drop and all hope she had disappear. Her eyes gloss over with
tears; wanting her to not look sad I replied “God morning.” But it looked like
she didn’t hear or didn’t care. Wanting to check if she was ok I followed her
upstairs after excusing myself to the bathroom. I had just reach the top of the
stairs when I saw her enter her room and close the door. As I was about to
knock on her door I heard the sound of someone sobbing. My heart ached for
her, not wanting to bother her I went back downstairs. I lost focus after; there
was only one thing on my mind, what did Katie do for a family to hate her so
much?
