Back at the flat the girls decided to order a take away. However it was never going to be easy with Toni and Emma. ‘’I want the ham and pineapple pizza’’ Toni said grabbing the phone off Emma. ‘’Hang on a minute!! I want the pepperoni pizza’’ Emma said in a huff. ‘’Oh shame it looks like daddy’s little rich girl isn’t going to get her own way anymore.’’ Toni said laughing. ‘’Oh you little...’’ Emma started. ‘’Will you two quit it before I order it for you!!’’ Kira shouted out, ‘’I’m trying to watch Steven on the News’’. Emma came racing over ‘’is he Liverpool’s new signing?’’ she asked excitedly. ‘Yes’ was the reply from Kira.

‘’He’s gorgeous don’t you think?’’ Kira asked anyone who was listening. ‘’Yeh, I’d do him any day of the week’’ Emma said, ‘’In fact I’ve always thought he was fit even through high school’’ Kira gigged, ‘’you went to school with that fitty? Wow wish I had’’ she said going off in a daydream. ‘’Earth calling Kira. Stevie wasn’t one for girls. Football was more important. So I never got to no him like everyone else. I bet he’s big though’’ she said as she winked as kira. ‘’Ha,’’ Toni said, ‘’Loosing your touch with the lads are you, what a shame…NOT!’’ Toni smirked.

Meanwhile at the hospital the mysterious man opened the curtain. Grace gulped as she saw him. ‘’So come on then did I hear right?’’ He asked smiling at her. ‘’Well you are cute.’’ grace said giggly. Just then her dad came racing in. ‘’Are you ok? What happened? That cut looks nasty.’’ He said breathlessly. Grace laughed. ‘’I’m fine really dad. You didn’t have to come, that fit guy over there looked after me.’’ ‘’So you’re the nutter who ran my daughter over?’’ he said pointing furiously at the man and before he could reply, he got punched straight in the face. ‘’DAD!!!’’ Grace screamed in shock.

‘’I can’t believe you did that dad! He was nice to me, could of left me in the street hurt but he didn’t and you go and do that to him!! Say sorry not or get out’’ Grace screamed at him while trying to wipe her eyes from the tears. Grace’s dad looked her and walked out without saying anything, and grace burst into tears. ‘’Hey don’t cry, he was just trying to protect you like any father would.’’ The man said while hugging her. ‘’Do you have a name?’’ grace asked shyly. The man laughed, ‘’I do but that would be telling.’’

As Kira paid the pizza man, she missed the breaking news on sky sports. ‘BREAKING NEWS: Liverpool’s new signing 19 year old Steven Gerrard assaulted while inside hospital with a friend’
