Falling For My Stepbrother
Football Game

Before I knew it, it was Friday. Today was the football game Panther's vs. Buck's. Blake, Cole, and Shawn will be playing but I wasn't sure if I was in the mood to watch a football game.

"Can we please go Tori," Suzie asked the minute I walked through the doors.

"Suzie I have literally just walked in from school. Please let me get a drink," I said slowly.

Suzie nodded her head and watched as I grabbed a glass and went to the refrigerator. I poured some water into the glass and brought it up to my lips.

"PLEASE!" Suzie yelled out of nowhere.

I didn't mean to but I spit the water out and all over the counter. Her yelling scared the crap out

of me, and now the counter had to pay the price.

"What the heck Sue?" I said grabbing paper towels and cleaning the counter.

She cupped her mouth to contain the laughter, but a few giggles got out.

I started to clean the counter and when I was done I looked up at Suzie.

"Can we please go Tori? Pleaseeeee, they have some of the best candy there," Suzie whined.

I raised my eyebrow at her, "Candy? You want to get candy?!"

I smirked and walked to one of the cabinets and pulled out the blue plastic bag. I emptied all the contents on the counter. The mountain of candy was now just a small hill, but heck that was a lot

of candy.

I finally had asked Cole where he got the money for the candy and he told me the story about Charlie. I was surprised to know that they stood up to Suzie. They seemed to handle it well. Isn't it ironic that the kids name is Charlie? Like the chocolate factory? I don't know I just thought of it.

"That candy doesn't count," Suzie said.

"Really Sue? Seriously?"

She shrugged.

I sighed, "Anyways we can't go. I don't have a car."

"Aww man," Suzie whined, "Can't we just call Mark?"

No cause then he'll know we live here. Ok Tori make someting up. Something Suzie will believe. "He can't Suzie, he's...preparing for his dad's arrival." I said.

"Oh," Suzie said looking down.

She bought it, awesome.

"Sue since we'll be home alone for a while," I said pulling up a chair, "What do you want to do?" Suzie thought for a second and then she smiled.

Shawn's POV

"Ok so we all know the game plan?" Blake asked.

Our whole football team was huddled up in the locker room. It was a home game luckily, so we had to win. It would be sad if we lost in our house. Blake being our captain was just going

through our regular warm up to get our blood pumping.

Everyone muttered a 'yes' or 'yeah' some just nodded.

"Ok ready," Blake said putting his hand in the middle.

We all followed and soon we all had our hands in the middle.

"Ready!" Blake yelled, "One, two, three!"

"Panthers!" Everyone in the locker room yelled.

We all jogged out the room and onto the field. When we reached the field everyone cheered and clapped. I will never get used to the sound of everyone clapping and cheering me and my team on. I just felt...awesome knowing I had all these people cheering on us.

Coach called us in and we started warming up, the other team was doing the same but I didn't pay any attention. When we were done, the referees came out to the field. We all got in position, and then the game began.

The score was now 7-7. Each team has made a touchdown and now we were working on a second one. I quickly looked up at the clock. Five minutes. Shit. I shook the thought out of my head and got back in the game.

"Ready!" Blake yelled, "Hike!"

I ran forward and looked back at Blake who was searching the field. He saw me and threw the ball. I easily caught it and started running. One of the Buck's tried to tackle me from the side, but

I stopped in place and he zoomed by. I chuckled to myself and kept running.

The crowd got louder, only encouraging me to continue running. I looked behind my shoulder

and saw I was being chased, but at this point, there was no hope for the Buck's.

I slowed down when I reached the end and slammed the football on the ground.

"Touchdown!" Our intercom guy yelled.

I laughed and started doing my victory dance. It was the dance to 'You can't touch this.' The

team came over and Me, Blake, and Cole did the dance. Everyone at our school knows that if one of makes a touchdown the three of us dance.

We were all laughing but then went back to the game. There was still about two minutes but I already saw some Buck fans going home. I quickly scanned the cheering crowd and smiled. Tori and Suzie were sitting in the back with their friends Cali and Mark. They were applauding and screaming, but their shouts were muffled by the rest of the crowd. I looked straight at Tori, and held the football up. She smirked and clapped. I chuckled and started walking back.

I remembered making the deal with Tori. She would help me in math if I scored a touchdown for her. Now our deal is complete.

When the buzzer rang, signaling the end of the game, each of us Panthers happily ran back to

the locker room. Everyone patted my back, or congratulated me for making the winning touchdown.

"Ok guys huddle up," Blake said.

We all did as he asked, and coach watched from the sidelines.

"The score today was 14-7," Blake said.

We all slightly cheered.

"It was a close game, next time we need to kick their ass. Make them remember that the

panthers had dominated them, make them fear us and go crying back to their home," Blake said.

We all nodded in agreement and Blake continued.

"Other than that great victory guys. Now bring it in."

We all huddled up putting our hands in the middle.

"Ready!" Blake yelled, "One! Two! Three!"

"Panthers!" We all yelled.

We all clapped or cheered and on the distance coach was telling us not to forget to shower.

I quickly took a shower and got dressed. Cole was already done and now we were both waiting for Blake.

I sat beside Cole and he smiled.

"Nice touchdown bro," He said giving me a high five.

"Thanks," I chuckled.

We waited a while longer then Blake came out with a towel around his waist.

"Will you hurry up," I whined.

Blake smirked, "No."

"Retard," I muttered.

The three of us laughed. I got up and walked to my locker grabbing my duffel bag. As I opened

the locker Trent walked over and leaned against the wall.

"What the hell do you want?" I asked.

Trent chuckled, "I hear you got a new whore."

What? I wasn't playing anyone. Shit.

"She's not a whore jackass," I shot back.

"You know," Trent said sifting so he was facing me, "I didn't think you went after the new girls.

Blake always did that. So tell me are you going to share Emily, cause I want a go."

The anger flared in me, "Touch her and I swear you will regret it."

Trent laughed, "Little Shawn is in love. How cute."

I slammed my locker shut, "At least she won't cuff me to my bed."

I gave him a fake smile and he glared at me.

"Don't worry Shawn I won't touch her," Trent walked away and to the showers.

I glared at Trent as he walked off. Whatever he was planning, I will kill him.

"Shawn," Blake shouted over, "Let's go."

"Coming," I muttered and walked over.

We walked to the car and I got in the back. I looked out the window the whole time as we drove.

"Shawn!" Cole yelled.

"What?" I said shaking my head.

"I asked you something," Cole said, "Were you paying attention?"

"Guess not," Blake chuckled.

"What was the question?" I asked ignoring Blake.

"Don't you have a date tomorrow?" Cole asked.

I smiled, "Yup."

"What are you going to do?" Blake asked.

"Picnic at the park," I answered.

Blake burst into laughter.

Cole chuckled, "That's cheesy, but whatever. She's a girl, she'll like it."

Blake was still laughing. He wiped a tear away from his eye.

"Where the fuck did you get that idea?" Blake asked.

Wow Blake. Just wow.

'Ignore him,' vocie said.

'I am but I fucking live with him. Kinda hard to ignore,' I said back.

'Just don't answer,' voice said.

'Ok I won't,' I said.

So I didn't. I didn't answer Blake, I just watched the tree's pass by.

In twenty minutes we were back home. Tori and Suzie were already there, watching tv. Tori on

one of the two recliners and Suzie on the couch.

"You went to the game," I stated plopping on the couch across from Suzie.

"Suzie wanted to go. I cracked in the end and we biked there," Tori answered.

"Then we meant up with Mark, Cali, and Conlan." Suzie said happily.

Cole went over and sat beside Suzie, and Blake took the other recliner. "Conlan?" Cole asked.

I smirked, "Yes Cole. I believe that's what she said."

Blake chuckled.

"Nice touchdown by the way," Tori said looking over at me.

"Thanks," I said, "It was dedicated to you, for helping with math."

Tori laughed, "I was just kidding when I said that."

"It's not like you asked for an arm," I said.

"True," Tori replied.

We all watched some tv until Bill came back.

"Daddy!" Suzie yelled running to her dad.

"Hey kiddo," Bill said picking her up, "Where's Lilly?"

"She's still at work," Cole answered.

"Yeah," I added, "She has some big case. She said she'll be back late."

"Oh," Bill said, "Wanna order pizza?"

Tori chuckled, "Can't you cook a us meal dad?"

Bill's eye's darted around the kitchen, "Ummm..."

Suzie laughed, "Daddy you can't cook."

"That's why I want to order pizza," Bill muttered. He grabbed the phone and ordered a larger meat lovers and BBQ.

So Bill can't cook? But then how did he feed Tori and Suzie? I glanced over at Tori who was still watching the tv. We all waited around for the pizza, each of us thinking of different things. Me?

I was thinking about tomorrow. I was meeting up with Em at the park, and now I just have to figure out what to take. Great.

The door bell went off about forty five minutes later and we all sat around eating the pizza. I remember in the beginning of the year Tori wanted me and my brothers to try the BBQ pizza, and we just ignored her. So this time I'm like, eh what the heck.

I took a slice of the pizza and tried it.

Mother of god! It's like the best pizza ever.

When Tori saw my face she smirked and grabbed two more slices putting them on her plate. I grabbed anothers slice and when Cole and Blake saw my face they shrugged and tried it.

"This is awesome," Cole said as he chewed on the pizza.

He reached for another slice but Blake swatted his hand grabbing the slice.

Tori chuckled. Now I understood why she put two pieces on her plate. She knew we would like it,

so she grabbed some for herself.

'Haha she's smart,' vocie said.

I mentally chuckled, 'I know it pisses me off.'

After dinner we all headed upstairs and to our rooms. As I curled up in my bed I thought about tomorrow, so what should I bring to the picnic?
