(Three weeks later)
"That's just one more game in the Titan's pocket." Petey announces happily as a group of them walk down the street.
"Yes, and the T.C. Williams Titans are now making their way to the top, 7 and 0 so far a perfect season, but the question is can they keep it up?" Leigh says in a fake announcers voice, using her hand as a microphone.
Julius grabs her hand and talks into it. "Well Shortie I would have to say the answer is Yes. Yes of course we gonna keep this up."
This causes some of the guys to erupt into even more noise, cheering and joking.
"So let me ask you something Ms. Yoast?" Blue jokes
"Yes?" She asks playing along
"How does it feel to be going out with an all american, all star player and captain of the football team?"
Leigh looks at Gerry who has his arm slung around her and smiles. "I don't know, could you find me one of them?" She says coyly
"Ohhh, your girl got you there." Alan laughs
"Yea, yea" Gerry laughs
"So where we off to tonight?" Sunshine asks
"Don't care." Leigh announces happily. "Coach is so much calmer now, that everything is over, I got my freedom back." She laughs
"Yea, I know I am happier." Gerry pulls her closer and gives her a kiss.
"Yo man we aint be needing to see that!" Petey jokes.
"Your just jealous man" Gerry says jokingly
"No way, besides I would never touch another guy's girl." Petey defends himself.
"hey guys my treat." Rev offers, going into a restaurant
"Of course." Blue answers followed by the rest and goes inside.
"Sunshine?" Leigh asks holding back.
"Yea?"
"I need to tell you something, but you can't tell anyone." Leigh says worriedly
Looking concerned Sunshine says "Sure what is it?"
Leigh hesitates.
"Leigh you can tell me anything, and I can help you, but I can't if you don't say anything."
"I don't want to get him into trouble, I mean I know it's wrong but I still don't." She blurts out.
"Whoa wait you're not making any sense slow down."
"My dad is here, I saw him the other day."
"Did he hurt you?" Sunshine asks alarmed
"No, but I don't know what to make of it, he kept sayin how he was sorry, but he can't help it, it's a way of life or him, or something like that……I think he was drinking." She adds.
"He broke the restraining order."
"I know and he can go to jail for that. I know I should want that, but he is my dad kind of, coach is more of a father then he ever was. I don't know what to do. I mean if I wait something could happen, but maybe he just really wanted to see how I was doing. I don't know."
"You should tell Coach. Or Gerry or even Boone."
"I know."
"So why did you tell me?"
"Cause I knew you wouldn't get all irrational and crazy." Leigh admits
"Leigh?" Gerry asks
"Sorry I was just tellin Sunshine something that may improve his game." Leigh lies "Ready?" She asks
"Yea come on Sunshine" Gerry says
They all go inside
*************
After practice the next day.
"Coach Boone?" Leigh asks
"Yes? What can I do for you Leigh?" Boone looks up from his desk in his office.
"Uh Sunshine said it might be a good idea to talk to you, but if your busy." She turns to leave.
"Wait Leigh sit down." He gestures to a chair.
She sits "My dad is here."
"Did he talk to you?"
"Yea."
"That can send him to jail."
"I know."
"So you didn't tell Coach Yoast I guess?"
"No I didn't"
"I see, I think you should, unless it's a chance you really want to take."
"I shouldn't though. Right?"
"You have to do what's right for you."
"Leigh? What are you doing in here?" Coach Yoast asks walking in.
Leigh glances at Boone who nods. "I need to talk to you………"
2 hours later. Leigh and Coach Yoast along with Cheryl watch Seth Yoast getting driven away in a cop car.
"It was for the best Leigh." Yoast says quietly.
"I know." Leigh says quietly
"What's going on?" Gerry asks pulling up in the driveway.
"My dad just got arrested, I called the police on him, I called the police to have my
own father arrested." Leigh says then goes into the house.
TBC"d please R&R for me thanx!
