Rags 2 Pitches

Description

Ryan
I might be a thug, but that’s what it takes to get respect on the football pitch. If you’re not a flat-out beast, every other player treats you like a p**sy.
I’ve worked hard to get where I am. On top of a grueling training schedule, I work two jobs and keep an eye on my younger brothers and sister.
Nothing could get in the way of my dream. Nothing was going to stop me.
Even the sweet, curvy girl from across the road. Nicola. She was an innocent temptation that I like’d to keep an eye on, even though I knew that she would complicate everything.
The one that I saw every morning on my way to school.

Nicola
I had been a good girl all my life. I worked hard and turned a blind eye to all the crap that was going on in my house. Ryan may not have looked the part and been a bit rough; no, more than a bit. Every other word the man said was obscene. But I didn’t care, because I knew that he had a heart. He was the first person that listened to me, he really cared about me.
I needed to avoid him, because as much as I long for Ryan, my dream was to go to university, and he would complicate everything. But I couldn’t stay in that house one more month without going insane. I had to get away and nothing could stand in my way, not even him.
