“About?”

“Amy’s back is bruised to fuck because that idiot of a coach has her running for America” Jacqui explained “And I cant have a go at her about it because she’s happy to be playing again, so I need to be all smiley faced about it”

“She’s got her check up with me tomorrow, I’ll have a look then and if im not happy I’ll be telling her I wont hold back, I’m not married to her” Ashley stated

“Talk to her coach” Taylor suggested

“I’m going to get Bette to do it, they’ll listen to her”

“How do you know?” Taylor asked

“Bette takes no shit!” Ashley laughed

“Neither do I when it comes to Amy” Jacqui stated “But Amy will give me nothing but shit if I go near her coach and that I can’t deal with”

“Yeah neither can I, you mop about like a love sick puppy” Ashley joked

The alarm went off making them all jump and run for the door.

“You can’t seriously be making them run again?” Jay asked horrified

“They’ll be running until they show up to practice on time!”

“They all start their classes tomorrow your going to have them like zombies” Jay stated “And Amy isn’t at full health yet”

“She’s running better than half the team”

“FOR NOW!” Jay stated

“You do know she’s gay and married Jay”

“Yes, doesn’t mean I can’t care about her as a friend”

“You’re her coach!”

“I’m her friend as well!” Jay stated

Bette walked into the gym. She looked over at Amy concerned. Jacqui had just got off the phone to her.

“I need a word” Bette said to the coach

The coach turned his attention to Bette.

“You need to lighten up on the running” Bette stated

“Don’t you start”

“I’m serious I’ve just had Jacqui on the phone, Amy’s back is bruised with it all, and she wont say anything, she was in pain yesterday too! Run the rest of the team like puppets, don’t do it with Amy!”

“I can’t single her out!”

“If you don’t she’s off your team, your choice! Get it sorted Mark, I wont have my daughter in law worried shitless about her wife, and I wont have myself, wife or my son worried about her to the point that’s all they can think about!”
