Higher Ground belongs to Fox Family. I only own Cecilia. And I know absolutely nothing about football, so don't kill me for the terribleness of this chapter.
Later that day, Scott found himself suited up and out on the field. Nervously, he blew out a breath. He couldn't believe he was out here! It was great! And nerve-wracking. Everyone lined up for the kick-off. With a snap, the ball flew through the air.
"Go, go, go, go, go, go!" Juliette squealed.
"Come on, run!" Kat shouted. Scott chased after the player that had the ball and tackled him.
"Oh, that's gonna hurt," Auggie winced.
"At least it's not one of our guys," Hank responded.
"True," Auggie agreed. They turned back to the game. Over the next two hours, the whole stadium became engrossed.
"Come on, Scott!" Elaine shouted. The game finally ended when Scott made the final touchdown. As the players came to the bleachers, Elaine and Martin ran down the steps and immediately crushed Scott in a hug.
"Way to go! That was wonderful!" Elaine congratulated.
"That's my boy," Martin added.
"Uh, okay. Breathing is becoming an issue," Scott rasped.
"Oh. Sorry," they apologized, letting go.
"Scott, your father and I are going to a party later this evening, but Cecilia will be home. Will you be okay?" Elaine questioned. I'm going to be alone with that skank? Scott's mind cried.
"Yeah, I'll be fine," was what he said out loud. Then, he walked away towards the crowd. Martin looked at Elaine.
"What was that all about?" he wondered.
"I'm---not sure," Elaine admitted truthfully. Then, they left the stadium.
