Episode 26 – Forgiveness
2 weeks later – 3 days before the big game.
The whole team and Chad where in the gym practising.
"Keep it up guys" Chad shouted.
"He is so mean" Ant said running up and down the gym.
"That's Chad for you" Matt chuckled and ran next to him.
"Jones, Bolton Keep the chatting till later" Chad shouted again.
"Sorry Coach" They both said and carried on running with the rest of the team.
"Alright guys" Chad blew the whistle "20 Minute breaks"
Ant walked over to bleachers with Matt "I can't believe it's our first game on Friday"
"I know, but it'll be fun, is your Dad coming?" Matt asked grabbing his bottle of water.
"Yeah, along with Gabi, Maddie and the gang" Ant looked at him "You're still bothered about him knowing, aren't you?"
"No"
"Seriously Dude, you can't lie" Ant chuckled.
"Okay fine, I'm am"
"Hey Guys" Cadie said.
Ant looked up to see her in a cheerleaders outfit "When did you become a Cheerleader?"
"Since I said she's on the squad" a girl came over.
"Guys, this is Stacey" Cadie giggled "Stace, you already know who these are"
"Yup, Anthony and Matt" Stacey giggled "Nice to meet you guys"
"You too" They both said and looked at Cadie.
"5 minutes till practise, Cadie" Stacey smiled and walked away.
"How long?" Ant asked.
"For a while, this is the first time we've had practise the same day as you guys" Cadie said.
"Cadie!" Stacey shouted.
"I gotta go" then she ran over to the squad.
Ant looked at Matt who couldn't take his eyes off Cadie "Dude!" He smacked him on the head.
"Oww!" Matt glared at him "What was that for?"
"For looking at my sister like that"
"Sorry"
"You will be" Ant smirked "You better be focused on Friday"
"I will be, I promise"
"Okay, Girlies" Stacey smiled "Cadie, you'll be at the front leading, okay?"
"Sure thing" Cadie giggled and grabbed a set of pompoms.
"By the way, Matt is totally checking you out" Stacey smirked and giggled.
"Shut up" Cadie giggled and threw her the pompoms.
"Hey!"
"You asked for it" Cadie smirked grabbing another set of pompoms and got it place "Where are you standing?"
"Right behind you; so don't shake that butt in my way" Stace giggled.
"Okay, that was one time and right before practise I had chocolate which makes me a little hyper"
"I think you should have chocolate more often" Daisy giggled.
"Okay, Girls get in your places" Stacey shouted and everyone stood in place "After you kiddo"
Cadie giggled "Ready!"
"Let's go, let's go" The squad said and they started dancing.
Cadie ran up and started with her round-off and finished with her back flip, but lost her footing "Crap!" She fell holding onto her ankle.
"Cadie" Ant ran over and bent down "You okay?"
"My ankle" tears started falling down her face.
"Uncle Chad!" Ant shouted.
Chad ran out of his office to see Cadie on the floor and ran over "Cadie, What happened?"
Cadie took a deep breath "I lost my footing and fell on my right ankle"
"Can you stand up?" Chad asked bending down next to her.
"I'll try" She looked at Ant "Can you help?"
"Sure" He put his arm around her and helped her up "You okay?"
"It really hurts" She whispered.
Ant looked at Chad "I'll take her to the Nurse"
"Okay" Chad smiled.
"Wanna get on my back?" Ant looked at Cadie.
"No, I'm fine" Cadie said.
"Cadie, it'll be better for you" Chad said.
"Fine" Cadie hopped behind Ant and jumped on his back.
"Be careful" Chad said.
"I will" Ant smiled and walked out of the gym.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you about the cheerleading thing" Cadie said.
"Its fine Sis, You did great until the fall"
"Thanks" She smiled "And thanks for hitting Matt"
"You saw that?"
"Yeah, Stacey told me he was looking at me then I saw you hit him"
"Sorry, but no-body looks at my sis like that"
"Thanks"
"No problem" He smiled and walked into the nurse's office.
Troy walked down the halls before his class starts, when his phone rang; He got it out, looked at the ID: Ant and quickly answered it "Ant, you okay?"
"Erm … Hi Troy, its Matt"
"Matt, why do you have Ant's phone?"
"He asked me to phone, Cadie got hurt during gym"
"Is she okay?"
"I don't know, Ant took her to the nurse, I just wanted to let you know"
"Thanks Matt" then he hung up and ran out of the school.
Cadie sat on the bed in the nurse's office with her head rested on Ant shoulder.
"You okay?" Ant asked rubbing her arm.
"Yeah" Cadie sighed then sat up when the Nurse walked in.
She looked at them then Cadie "Okay, what happened this time?"
Cadie giggled "I fell on my ankle during practise"
"Okay, let's take off your sneakers and see what wrong"
"Sure" she took a deep breath while the nurse took off her sneakers.
Ant looked at Cadie and rubbed her arm "Everything okay?"
Cadie bit her lip and nodded.
"Your ankle is just bruised; if you want to perform on Friday, rest"
"Okay" Cadie said then the door opened.
Ant looked up "Dad"
Cadie looked up "What you doing here?"
"Matt phoned me saying you got hurt during gym, but it looks like it was cheerleading practise" Troy looked at her.
"I'll go and some bandages so we can strap it up" The Nurse stood up and left the room.
"I better go and get back to practise" Ant said jumping off the bed.
"Ant, don't you dare leave" Cadie glared at him.
"You two need to talk, that's why I asked Matt to phone him" He smiled and walked out.
Troy walked over and sat next to her on the bed "Cadie, I'm sorry"
"Why did you leave School to come here?" Cadie didn't look at him.
"Because when Matt phoned and said you got hurt, I got worried"
Cadie sighed and looked at him "I'm sorry Dad"
Troy smiled and put his arm around her "It's fine sweetie" He kissed her head "So, when did you become a cheerleader?"
She giggled "a couple of weeks ago"
"If you want advice about it, ask Hannah"
"Hannah was a cheerleader?"
"Yeah, she was really good" He smiled then the nurse walked back in.
"Ready Cadie?" She smiled.
"Yeah" Cadie smiled.
"Okay, let's get this ankle strapped up and you can go home" She smiled and strapped her ankle up.
Ant walked out of the locker room and looked around the gym.
"Yo, Bolton" a voice said.
He turned around to see Stacey "Hi"
"How's your sister?"
"She's fine, just bruised ankle but has to rest if she wants to perform on Friday"
Stacey opened the doors and walked out "Okay, so you excited about the game?"
He walked after her "Yeah, how about you?"
"Yeah, we watched you today and you'll beat them"
"Thanks" He smiled and looked at the car park "I gotta go, see you tomorrow"
"See you Bolton" She giggled.
"Laters" He chuckled and ran over to Chad.
Troy and Gabriella were cuddled up on the sofa while Ant was playing the piano with Maddie.
"When did you learn to play that?" Troy looked over at Ant.
"My Mum was a Music Teacher, she taught me along with Guitar" Ant said.
"Can you teach me?" Maddie looked at him.
"Maybe another time, okay?"
"Okay" Maddie smiled.
Gabriella smiled watching them "They really get along"
"Yeah, they thought he was be trouble but I proved them wrong" He smiled then the door bell rang "I'll get it" He got up.
"If it's for me, tell them I'm busy" Ant said.
"Sure" Troy chuckled, went out of the room and answered the door to see 2 girls "Hi?"
"Hey Mr Bolton, I'm Stacey and this is Daisy" She smiled
"You're on the same squad as Cadie?"
"Yeah, is she in?" Daisy smiled.
"She's in her room" Troy opened the door wider.
"Thanks Mr B" The girls said and ran upstairs then into Cadie's room.
"Hey Girlie" Stacey giggled.
"Stacey, Daisy what you guys doing here?" Cadie sat up.
"We wanted to see if you were okay" Daisy said and sat on her bed.
"My ankle is a bit sore but I'm good" Cadie giggled.
"By the way your Dad is a hottie" Stacey giggled and sat down on the chair.
"I totally agree" Daisy giggled.
"Gross Guys, that's my Dad and he has a girlfriend" Cadie said.
"Sorry" Stacey and Daisy giggled.
