TThis is my first Titans fanfic be nice no flames and please R&R for me.
A/N: of course in my fic Gerry Bertier isn't dead I couldn't write it if he was lol it takes place before the final game I don't own any of the characters unless I made them up!
"Yo Superman!"
"Hey Julius what you up to man?"
"Nothing Gerry just bored I can't wait for the game Saturday!"
"I know we have won 3 games straight it's great, we really came together" Gerry answers
"Yea I just wish we could say that for the rest of the city" Julius says
"Give it time man, anyway we got to go or we'll be late for pratice"
The two hurry up and go to school
**************
"Hey y'all look who decided to show up" Petey announces as Gerry and Julius come into the locker room
"Nice of you two, to join us" Alan jokes
The team suits up and heads out to the field
"Hey who's Coach talking too?" Blue asks when they get out there
"Don't know, but I like what I see" Alan adds
"Ohh I feel you there" Louie adds while they all check out the short petite brown haired blue eyed girl Coach Boone and Coach Yoast are talking too.
The girl leans over and takes Cheryl by the hand and goes over to the sidelines.
"Excuse me, but would you all like to get your butts over here so we can practice or would you all prefer to stare like idiots?" Coach Boones voice booms
"Coming coach" Rev says as they make there way over
Gerry (in this he isn't with Emma beside they do break up in the movie anyway) is still looking at the girl along with a few other teammates
"Since I'm guessing we will get no work done until you know who that is on the side I will tell you." Boone says "That is Leigh Yoast, yes as in Coach Yoast she is his niece and has moved here, like Cheryl she has great interest in football, if you want to gawk or stare or talk to her save it for school, that's where she'll be"
Coach Boone blows his whistle signaling the start of practice
****************
"Hey why you all spaced out man?" Julius asks Gerry the next day at school
"I don't know I can't stop thinking about Leigh"
"Leigh? You mean Coach's Neice? You haven't even talked to her! You don't even know if you like her!"
"I can feel it man"
"Well if you can feel it go talk to her she's right over there" Julius nods over to a locker Leigh is opening
"Hey Julius what's Bertier doing?" Rev asks coming over
"He's got it for Yoast's neice, they're meant for each other" Julius mock Gerry
***********
"Hi there"
Leigh looks up "Hi, you're Gerry Bertier right?"
"Yea" he answers surprised "How did you know?"
"Chery. And I've been watching the tapes of the games" She laughs "You're good, you got a strong left side with Cambell over there"
"Thanks, so do you like it here?"
"Always have, I come here a lot I just finally decided to move here, besides Coach is like my father anyway"
Gary laughs "So you call him coach too huh?"
Leigh smiles "Yea it's habit by now and it's just doesn't seem right calling him anything else. it's a shame he isn't head coach anymore but Bonne is definitely qualified for the job"
"Yea he is, he brought us together, this team, we would be nothing without him"
"I know, I was at camp"
"You were?" He asks surprised
"Yea of course someone has to watch Cheryl she is nine you know."
"Right of course, so you were there….you didn't play did you? I mean cause I never saw you there"
"I might of a bit, I'm not supposed to though, my daddy doesn't approve of it, my daddy doesn't approve of a lot of things, Coach probably doesn't like that me and Cheryl like it so much either."
"Yea I guess, so why did you move out here?"
"My daddy, wasn't never around and when he was I wished he wasn't, so I asked my daddy if I could move out here with Coach and he said yes, probably cause now he'll have more money for…for himself"
"So you didn't want to be with your daddy?"
"No we didn't get along really and he didn't like me even liking football and of course it's my life."
"My father is dead, coach is like a father to me."
"I know he said so to me" Leigh smiles
"So you want to hang out with a bunch of me and the boys today after practice?"
"You mean like Julius? And them?"
"Yea , you don't have a problem with the race thing do you?"
"No course not, I was just hoping that later me and you could hang out alone maybe…"
Gerry smiles "I'd like that a lot"
"Great, I'll see you at practice today" Leigh smiles and walks away
****************
"Hut1" Rev shouts
"Veer! Veer!' Cheryl shouts from the sidelines
"Defense!" Yoast shouts
"What was that? You call that a block?" Leigh shouts
"Come on offense attack!" Boone yells
"All right boys that's it for today. Go shower" Boone shouts
"Hey superman what we doing after practice today?" Julius asks
"I don't know yet, but uh Leigh is coming too"
"Uh oh Bertier is going for the coach's neice y'all" Petey shouts
"Yea , yea laugh it up" Gerry laughs
*************
Leigh is sitting in the bleachers holding a football with Coach Yoast and Cheryl.
"So you staying for good then?" Cheryl asks
"Yup, want me to Cheryl?"
"Yes! Aint no girls around that like football like I do cept you"
"Well good"
"Hey Leigh you ready to go?" Gerry shouts
"Yea!" She shouts and stands up and tosses the football to Gerry
"Nice arm you got there Leigh you been practicing?" Yoast asks
"Yep, my daddy don't know that though"
"What happened?" Cheryl asks
"What?" Leigh asks confused
"That big ol' bruise you got there on your side I saw in when you threw the ball"
Leigh looked down "It aint nothing"
"Well Leigh if you're hurt you should see a doctor, we can go this week" Yoast says
"But coach-"
"Now Leigh you go off with your friends, we'll make an appointment later ok?"
"Yes"
"Have fun"
***************
"Hey Leigh, you ready to go?"
"Yea where we headed?"
"Oh wait I'm sorry this is Julius" Gerry also proceeds to introduce her to a few other teammates
"Hi Julius, so where we headed?"
"Well we was thinking about the berg- but" Julius starts
"What's the berg?"
"We play basketball there"
"I'd love to"
Julius, Blue, Rev, and Petey lead the way with Gerry and Leigh following them with Alan, Sunshine and Louie close behind
"Why'd you look so upset when you came down the bleachers?" Gerry asks quietly
"Coach wants me to go to the doctor, but I told him I was fine, that it was no big deal"
"That what was fine"
"I have a few big ol bruises on my back and side it aint nothing though, I swear."
"Well how'd you get them?" Sunshine asks
"I-"
"I mean it's not like someone hit you right?" Sunshine jokes "So it's no big deal"
Leigh looks down, concentrating on the road
They walk the rest of the way in silence.
*****************
"You want to play or watch?" Gerry asks Leigh
"I'm going to watch today, see how y'all do at basketball" She smiles
"I'm going to sit this out to" Sunshine says sitting down next to Leigh
They rest of the guys start a game
"So" Sunshine says
"It aint what you think" Leigh cuts in
"What isn't?" He asks innocently
"That someone hit me" She says angrily
"Hey I was kidding bout that I didn't mean that, I was just sayin-" He stops studying her face "Someone did didn't they?"
Leigh looks down
"Who your daddy? Is that why you moved here? Does coach know? Did your daddy drink or something?"
"I got to go" Leigh says getting up
"Hey" Sunshine grabs her arm, she pulls away which catches the other guys attention.
"Let me see"
"There aint nothing to see" Leigh protests
"So why you so uptight about it?"
"Just tell me if your daddy did. I can help you, so can coach"
Leigh doesn't need to say anything her eyes said it all.
"What's going on?" Gerry says pushing Sunshine away from Leigh
"Yea you messing with her?" Julius asks
"Of course not man, I'm trying to help her" Sunshine says
"From what? She don't need any help" Gerry says confused
"Ask her, but she wont tell you just like she didn't tell coach, but someone will find out, like a doctor"
Leigh walks away
"What is wrong with you man? You don't go disrespecting girls like that!" Gerry yells
"I wasn't, I was trying to help her"
"Hey calm down a minute Gerry" Rev coaxes "How were you trying to help her Sunshine?"
"She's hurt-"
"Man are you blind she aint hurt" Gerry claims
"Her daddy hurt her, that's how she got them bruises, that's why she moved here"
"Are you sure man? This is serious" Julius asks
"I'm positive man"
"Then we got to tell coach" Julius says calmly
"When?" Alan asks
"Tomorrow at practice" Gerry says
******************
Next day practice
"Hey Leigh, you OK?" Gerry asks
"Yea, I'm fine"
"So uh you want to still hang out today?"
"Yea"
"Great then I'll talk to you later" Gerry jogs into the locker room as Leigh goes to sit with Cheryl
****************
Inside the locker room
Coach Boone and Coach Yoast come in and tell everyone to get outside to practice everyone goes except Gerry, Julius, Blue, Sunshine, Rev, Petey , Louie and Alan.
"Boys did you not hear the whistle lets go it's practice time" Boone says
"Coach Boone we need to talk to Coach Yoast now, it's important" Rev says
"So important that we have to delay practice?"
"Yes sir" Gerry answers
Boone studies them a minute then agrees to let them talk
"Coach Yoast" Gerry starts
"Boys we don't got all day start talking" Yoast says
"I was talking to Leigh yesterday and she aint telling you all the truth" Sunshine tells him
"What are you boys talking about?"
"She said her daddy been hitting her, that's why she wanted to live with you" Gerry blurts out
"Are you boys sure? That's a big accusation" Boone says
"Yes sir" They nod
"Well then Coach Yoast I believe you have something to take care of today" Boone says
"Thank you boys for bringing it to his attention it was brave of you all, now lets practice, nothing more we can do now"
"Coach I want to go with you" Gerry asks
"No Gerry it would be best if you wouldn't, I'll be back soon keep and eye on Cheryl for me will you Boone?"
Yoast walks out of the locker room followed by everyone else.
"Leigh! I need you to come here"
She comes down the bleachers "Yea Coach?"
"We have to go, come on now to the car"
Leigh glances over and sees Sunshine and Gerry looking towards her worried.
"Coach I swear it aint nothing I'm telling you!"
"Leigh! We are going to the doctor now, get in the car"
Leigh gets in and looks out the window as Yoast drives away.
