Chapter 4 – The Football Field
We went to the football field to watch Conner playing soccer. I've got to admit, he is good. Anyway, his team thrashed the other team 9 – 0. When the game was finished, Conner went to get changed.
I looked over at the other side of the field and I saw Trent, but he never saw me. I said to the girls, "Don't look now, but there's Trent."
Just then Conner came back out with his team-mates. He said to them, I'm gonna spend time with my friends. See you guys later." They nodded and left.
Conner said to Ethan, Tommy and Gary that he wanted to talk to them, so they headed away from us so they could talk.
I couldn't hear what they were saying, but I did notice the other three nodding and I began to wonder what they were talking about.
"Kira, can I talk to you a minute?"
"Sure Bro. What's up?
"I noticed you looking at the rest of us a week ago and frowning and looking sad. What's wrong?"
"Nothing Bro. Nothing at all."
"You sure?"
"Bro, I'm sure. There's nothing wrong."
"OK. If you say so."
Just then the boys came back towards us and Ethan, Tommy and Gary stood with their arms around their girlfriends. Jade came over and stood in front of Neil, who put his arms around her.
Conner came over and stood beside Jade, Neil and myself.
"Hey Kira, you OK? You look down."
"I'm fine Con. Honestly."
"I asked her that as well, Conner, and she said the exact same thing to me."
"OK. If you need to talk, Kira, you know where I am."
I nodded. I thought that Trent had left, but he was watching us with a scowl on his face. The next thing that we all knew, Trent had pushed Lea out of the way and punched Conner in the face and also kicked him to the ground.
I saw Gary clench his fist and Ethan looking furious.
Trent then stood over Conner and kicked him again and said, "THAT is for talking to MY girlfriend!"
"Ethan, Gary, where are you two going?"
"Tommy, we're going to help Con."
I saw Neil grab a hold of Ethan and Tommy grab a hold of Gary. I heard Neil say to them, "Guys, we can't interfere. If we do, it will be a lot worse for Conner."
I was not scared of Trent however, as I felt it was time that I made a stand against him, so I pushed Trent out of my way and helped Conner to his feet.
"Let's go Kira."
"Trent, I'm not going anywhere with you. We are over for good."
The others looked shocked that I was actually finishing with him. I continued talking.
"Trent, the reason that I'm finishing with you is this! In front of people, you are all nicey-nicey, but when we are alone, you hit me, you punch me. Just last week, you said that if I told the boys, you would rape me as well as beat me up and if I finished with you, you would tell everyone that I was a slut who sleeps around. You then dragged me to the alley behind the centre and pinned me against the wall and punched me in the stomach. Once you finished punching me, you kissed me. You then had the nerve to say to me, 'Don't tell the boys, Ok?' When I asked to be let go as you were hurting me you made me promise not to tell them. I promised, but I had my fingers crossed behind my back. Oh, I forgot to mention, I've got the bruises on my arm where you grabbed it yesterday. Well, I've had enough of being used as your own punch bag. Every week Trent, you hit me and now I've had enough of it all! IT'S OVER!"
I saw the shock on Trent's face and I turned to face the others. I saw the same shocked look on the faces of Ethan, Tommy, Conner and Gary. I then turned to the girls and saw the relief on their faces that I had told. When I turned to Neil, I saw anger on his face and it scared me as I've never seen him angry before because he is usually calm. His temper doesn't flare up easily, so this truly scared me.
"You did WHAT? Trent, I swear to GOD, when I get my hands on you, I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!"
"Neil, don't. It won't do any good."
"Kira, why didn't you tell me? I'm your brother! Your twin! We share everything! So why not tell me this?"
"First of all, it would have made things worse. Second, I knew you'd be like this."
"OK. How long?"
"A year and a half. At the beginning of the relationship, he was romantic and everything was fine, but he changed. Now, please, calm down, for me, please Bro?"
"OK. I'll calm down."
I then turned away from him to Conner. I thought that I saw something in his eyes, but it was gone just as quickly.
"Conner, I've know you for 11 years now, and even though during the last two, I've been going out with Trent, I fancied someone else. That someone, Conner, is you. I've never had the courage to tell you, until now. Neil didn't even know. Only the girls knew, but I made them promise not to tell anyone."
"Kira, you mean to say, when you were going out with me, you fancied HIM?"
"Yes, Trent, I did. Not that that's any of your business."
"Sis, when I joked about asking Conner out for you and you said, 'Very funny' and thinking, you were being serious?"
"Uh-huh."
I looked back at Conner and noticed the shock on his face. I then looked at Ethan, Tommy and Gary and noticed that they wanted to tell me something, but decided against it. I then looked back at Conner and noticed a smile starting to appear.
"I've always fancied you too Kira. Would you go out with me?"
"I would LOVE to go out with you."
We then kissed and Conner put his arm around me and turned back to Trent.
"By the way Trent, if you ever come near her again, I'll give you one hell of a kicking. This also applies if you touch her again."
"Trent, that goes for Tommy, Gary and I."
"Ethe, if he ever touches her again, I'll personally kill him. No-one hits MY sister and gets away with it."
I looked at Trent and noticed that he looked defeated. I watched him walk toward his mates. They then moved away from us.
Neil turned to me and said, "Kira, did you tell anybody about Trent?"
I looked away and didn't say anything.
"Kira, I asked you a question."
I didn't look him in the eye but said, "Yes. I told someone."
"Who? Who did you tell?"
"The girls."
I turned back around and noticed the expression on Tommy's face and on Neil's face as they turned towards Hayley and Jade.
"Hayley, Jade, you knew? You knew and didn't tell either Tommy or myself? You're our girlfriends; we're not supposed to keep secrets from each other. How long have the two of you known?"
I noticed Jade and Hayley turn away so they didn't have to look in their eyes.
Jade answered, "A week. We found out the night you and the boys were at the cinema. We didn't tell you because we couldn't break our promise to Kira. We also knew about what he said to her yesterday. We tried to get Kira to let you know, but she said she couldn't."
"I can't argue with not breaking your promise. I know if Kira had told me something and said, 'Don't tell Mum', I would have kept it."
"Neil, I can't argue with them not breaking their promise either. If Kir had told me something and said, 'Don't tell Neil', I would have kept it from you. Even though you are one of my best friends."
Just then, we all heard a shout. We turned round to see who it was and I noticed Trent's dad, Anton, shouting for Trent.
"Trent, where are you? It's nine o'clock, time for your bath!"
I turned to my mates and I noticed that they were all laughing and so was I. I heard more laughter coming from the direction of Trent. I turned round and saw his mates laughing. I noticed that his mates were saying something to him, but I couldn't make it out.
I noticed that Trent was showings signs of anger, the same signs that he had shown me when I was going out with him. He said something to his mates and they responded. I then noticed that what Trent had said next caused his mates to freeze. I called his best mate, Andrew Kerr, over to my group. He came over.
"Andrew, what did Trent say to you that made you all freeze like that?"
"He said that if we didn't shut up and stop calling him a baby, he would put us in hospital and we wouldn't be a pretty sight."
I thought to myself, "I don't like anyone being threatened like this, even if they are Trent's mates. I don't like violence, but if push comes to shove, I will fight. Hardly anyone knows this."
I moved away from the group and started to walk over to Trent with Andrew. Before I got very far, I heard someone call my name.
"Kira, where are you going?"
I recognised Neil's voice so I shouted back, "I'm gonna sort this out Neil!" Then Conner ran up to me and said, "Babe, you want me to come?"
"No thanks, Baby. I'll be fine."
"OK."
Then Conner kissed me on the lips and went back to the others. Andrew and I looked at each other then continued walking.
I walked over to Trent and said to him, "Touch any of them and you won't be putting THEM in hospital, because I'll put YOU in hospital."
"You? You can't fight. You never even fought back when I hit you."
"Trent, what kind of person are you? Hitting a female. You should be ashamed of yourself. I'm ashamed to call you my friend."
Trent turned on Andrew and said to him, "Andy, you better get out of here for that. I'll hit MY girlfriend when I feel like it."
I grew angry with the mention of me still being Trent's girlfriend and said, "Trent, I am no longer your girlfriend. I dumped you a few minutes ago. I am Conner's girlfriend now. Don't call me your girlfriend again."
"Trent, you're nothing but a big bully who has to prove that he's hard by hitting a female. In actual fact, you are NOT hard."
Trent swung at Andrew and I jumped in to protect him, so Trent ended up punching me, hard, in the face and I fell to the ground.
Trent said to me, "That's what you get for jumping in."
I stood up and said to Andrew, "Andrew, go over to my group and stop the boys from coming over here. I have a feeling that they saw Trent punch me. Tell them I'll handle it."
Andrew left to go and stop the boys coming over. I looked over at them and I saw that they were looking furious. I noticed Andrew heading back.
I turned to Trent and said, "I don't like to fight, but I will if I have to. I wasn't going to hit you, but since you punched me in the face, I will."
I drew back my fist and punched Trent in the face and said to him, "THAT is for punching ME in the face. Oh yeah, that was also for punching Conner in the face."
With that, I turned and walked back to join Neil. A few minutes later, before I had even reached my friends, I felt a pull on my arm. I turned around and saw Andrew.
"In case you're wondering what he said to us after you left, he said that he'd get us later when you weren't around, especially me for telling you what I did. He also said that he'll get you for hitting him. He'd rape you."
"I don't think he will. If he does, Tommy, Conner, Gary, Ethan and Neil will kill him. Anyway, do you want to hang around with us then? We'll guarantee that Trent will not touch you."
"We would like that very much, and thanks, by the way, thanks for standing up to Trent for us and for protecting me."
"No problem. In fact, you're welcome. The reason that I protected you was because I knew that if Trent had landed that punch on you, he wouldn't have stopped."
So we went back to the rest of Trent's mates and said to them that if they wanted to be safe from Trent, they were to hang about with my friends and I and they all agreed.
So Trent not only lost me today, but he also lost his friends who are now firm friends with me and my friends.
As it was getting late, everybody went home. I turned to Conner and I kissed him on the lips goodbye.
"I'll see you tomorrow. Do you want me to come for you?"
"OK Babe."
With that, Neil and I turned to go home. We looked back and noticed that our friends were still in earshot, so we called goodnight to them and went home.
