Her Absolution

Chapter 12

    I decided to go to the game after all. I called Sarah and asked if the game started, and she told me they were just stretching and practicing on the field. She wanted to know why, and I told her I was on my way back. She was so happy; she screamed my ear off. I think I’m deaf on my right ear.

    I got there and the parking is full. But I guess I’m bless by an all-mighty upstairs because I found a parking fast. Sarah already told me where she was sitting. I go to the concession stand and bought some nachos and 2 hot dogs with sodas for me and Sarah.

    I walk to the stand looking for Sarah, she told me she was on the third stand. It took me a few minutes until I found her. She was next to a big muscular guy, that’s why I could not see her until the guy move. I went to her, and she saw me. She looked so happy that I was there, maybe the big guy was coming onto her or trying to flirt with her.

    Eww. Doesn’t the guy see that she is too young for her? Ugh, I hate guys like that. I finally got to where she was and sit down, giving her the food. The game started 30 minutes ago, and the stands are crowded. It is the first game of the season. I see the Crestfall team is playing against the Brinch team, the mighty bears. They are another school from another neighbor town.

    We used to kick their butts every year. By we I mean Blue Ride, but I guess it’s still the same. Crestfall will beat them too. The Brinch bears football team is a weak one. This is going to be an easy game. I don’t think Ashton will even have to exert himself in this game.

“Hey. You see who is on the Brinch team? Martin is their new quarterback.”

    What the f**k? I take it back. It’s so not going to be an easy game. Martin use to be second string quarterback for my brother. And even though he didn’t get to play a lot, he is a heck of a player. More so if the Brinch team put him as the quarterback. My brother used to praise him. But I also watch Ashton play and no matter what Martin is no match for Ashton. The game will just be more interesting now.

“Then it’s going to get interesting.”

“Yeah. Specially because Martin hates Ashton. Remember he slept with Martin’s girl two years ago? Sometimes your brother had to hold Martin, so he doesn’t start a fight with Ashton.”

“I did not know that. That’s why Martin hates Ashton? That girl use to have s*x with a lot of guys. I think she never dared to do it with the once on the same team as Martin. But guys from other schools told me a few times at parties that they slept with her. At first I thought it was a guy spreading rumors because she rejected him but that stop until others told me the same thing.”

“For reals? Wow. Then Martin does not have to be angry at Mercer but happy that the guy help him reveal what a cheating ass she was in their relationship.”

“You are right but come on guys are guys. Sometimes they see reasons, other times they don’t.”

“What team you think is going to win? Brinch or Crestfall?”

“I don’t have to think. Crestfall will win.”

“And how would you know that b***h?”

    What the f**k? I turn around to see a brunette hair girl glaring at me. Hello, I know we are in public, but it was still a private conversation. I saw that she had green and black colors on her clothes. What little clothes sha had on. Her shirt was a crop top and it was hugging her upper body, her short are the same, short and tight. 

“For starter don’t call me b***h. And second because our quarterback is Ashton Mercer you know the number one football player in the county for the past 4 f*****g years. And his team is tight, they trust each other. They don't have  anew quarterback playing for them.”

    I may not be long here or know a lot about the team, but I know a few things about football. And Asher always use to praise Ashton as a football player.

“And who are you? Ashton Mercer’s punt bunny? Slut.”

“Oh, you f*****g b***h! I’m going to kill you for calling her that.”

    Sarah turn around and jump into the brunette. Taking her head and shaking it in all directions. Then she took her hair and started pulling it. The girl was trying to defend herself, but this is not Sarah’s first cat fight. Sarah is still grabbing her by her hair and starts to slap her in the face. That’s going to leave a mark.

    The brunette found an opening and kick Sarah in the stomach making Sarah to let her go. She did not stop and started to punch Sarah in the stomach, face, arms, she also pull Sarah’s hair. Oh, the brunette is dead now. Nobody messes with Sarah’s hair. Sarah lift one of her legs and kick the girl on her shoulder. They move from the stands to the stands stairs. I don't know how it happened since we were seated in the middle of the stands. I am trying to stop them but Sarah just pushes me out of the way.

    The fighting brought everyone from the stand to look at us and the teams stop playing, now focus on us. I see some taking their helmets of and moving towards us. I turn back to Sarah trying once again to stop the fighting. The brunette is now slapping Sarah in the face and trying to twist her left arm. So, I took that chance and punch the brunette right in the face, the nose precisely and she stumble back letting go of Sarah. I turn one more time to the field to see Marcus.

“Get the hell in here Marcus. NOW!”

    He only hears me and starts running up the stairs, while an angry Sarah is trying to go back to the b***h brunette. I’m holding her off and telling the people around us to get the girl out of here, but they don’t do anything. Sarah finds a way out of my arms and launches at the girl again. The brunette sees this and throw back her right arm back ready to punch Sarah, but I was faster and put myself in the middle. Sarah stop but the brunette doesn’t and hits me in the face, karma. I'm just glad is not the nose.  I stumble down a little to the ground but two arms catch me.

“Thanks Marcus.”

“I’m not Marcus sweetheart.”

    That voice, sexy voice. That voice comes from Ashton’s mouth. I turn around and find myself in Ashton’s arms. I hear the girls screaming, turning back to them I see Marcus holding Sarah and another guy holding the brunette. Is that Martin?

“Enough both of you. This is a game not a girls wrestling match. Take them out of here.”

    That was coach Reuther from our school. Coach isn’t like other coaches. He is discipline, cold but sweet at the same time, built with broad shoulders and a military haircut, he looks like a weightlifter.

“Mercer move it. Take them to the infirmary. I have a game to coach.”

    We all stop moving, arguing, and yelling. Marcus holds Sarah with one hand in her waist and another in her hand that is around his neck. The guy that was holding the brunette back is indeed Martin and he to takes her away. I feel Ashton’s arm moving away from me now that I found my balance. But then I feel them again and this time he is caring me bridal style.

    Everyone form the stands start cheering for him, like he was awarded something, and the cheerleaders are glaring at me. Marcus and Sarah turn around to see what the commotion is about now. Martin and the brunette look too and there is a smirk on the girl’s face.

    I punch Ashton with my fist that did nothing to him and yell at him to let me down, that I can walk. But he doesn’t put me down, he lets me punch him in the chest.

“Autumn keep moving around like that. You are only making me get hard.”

    When he said those words I stop moving and shut my mouth. Apperantly my body was grinding his d**k making him get hard. It was confim after I stop moving, noticing the growing bulge. Goddess what did we get ourselves into? I can feel Ashton’s chest muscle moving from his movements. He is so hot and fit and strong. His bulge is big, I can feel it. Stop it Autumn this is not the place or time to fantasies about him or his buddy down there.

    Ashton and Marcus take us to the infirmary, we don’t see the brunette girl or Martin. Maybe he told her to leave or something. Marcus put Sarah on the bed thing in there, inspecting her wounds and scratches. I think they are going to be there for about a week. I’m still in Ashton’s arms, will he put me down?

“The brunette and Martin are in his team locker room. She is being examined by their team doctor.”

“That b***h deserves to be on a hospital bed, by me! Autumn why did you try to stop the fighting. She f*****g deserve it.”

“But you didn’t! And for you to go to juvie, for assaulting someone? No f*****g thank you, b***h. I can defend myself. You could have gotten hurt. What were you thinking? And Ashton put me down. Sarah is way worse than me, you didn’t have to carry me like this.”

    I guess I startle everyone in the room because even the doctor I didn’t hear entering looked shock and surprise at my outburst. I look up at Ashton to see his blue eyes looking at my green ones. He started to move his fingers in circle motions on my left side, soothing me, calming me. It’s working because I don’t feel my cheeks hot anymore from the anger.

“Better? I’ll put you down I was just waiting for doc to come in.”

    He puts me down on one of the chairs. And gets on his knees in front of me, looking at my face. Not moving away from me. He lifts his arms and put them in my knees circling them. He starts breathing in and out, wanting me to do the same as him and I do. I need to calm myself. He moves his hands to my thighs and leaves them there for a minute and then squeeze them. He gives me one more look and stands up turning to doc, Marcus and Sarah but not blocking my view.

    The doctor is inspecting Sarah’s wounds, he says that she is fine but that she is going to have the bruises for a few weeks, two max. She hops down the bed thing and the doc tell me to come up. On my way there, the doc says to the guys to go back to the field that coach must be expecting them, but they said they are going to stay but they will go back. They just want to make sure we are fine. While the doctor was checking my bruises, Ashton and Marcus decided to ask what happened for us to fight. 

“What happened? What was the fight about? Who was she?”

    Marcus ask us but we didn’t answer him. Sarah and I just look at each other. That’s what I want to know, who is she? Ashton just look at me, waiting for me to explain. Why does he care? It’s not his business.

“I want to know why you girls were fighting Martin's new fling. Autumn what was the fight about? Tell me, please.”

    How did he know about that? And why would he? But that’s not important right now. I don’t know if it was the please or the way he was looking at me, with those blue eyes, pleading to know. Next thing I know I’m blabbing my mouth of.

“She called me a punt bunny.”

“Oh, no missy if you’re going to open your mouth you are going to tell them everything!”

“Wait what? She call you a punt bunny?” Marcus was one to not like it when someone expresses themselves to us, or any girl or woman really, like that.

“Everything? Tell me.” Ashton once again asks. But I kept my mouth shut and Sarah not waiting for me told them what happened.

“Autumn and I were having a private talk about the teams and that Crestfall was going to win because you are the best Ashton. Then out of nowhere the b***h ask Autumn how she would know that and call her b***h. Then Autumn defended the team, our team saying that we will win because of you Ashton and the teamwork. She then told Autumn and I quote: “And who are you? Ashton Mercer’s punt bunny? Slut.” That’s about it. I told her that she was dead, and we started fighting until Autumn realize we weren’t stopping she got in the middle of it. The rest you guys know.”

    By now the doc ended examine me and told me that I was better than Sarah and to not worry about my bruises they will go away. He left us in there and went to his office next to this room. I saw Ashton’s reaction to everything Sarah was telling them, and with each word his face was getting angrier. Oh, goddess I know that look, it’s the same one he gave Megan on Monday morning.

“She f*****g said what?”
