CHAPTER 19: SPOILED VICTORY PARTY
Later that night;
The party for celebrated the win of FIFA Women's World Cup and CONCACAF Gold Cup are held nearby the pool. All players are just arrived to celebrate the win before suddenly, the family members of all players came in. Ryan is so happy seeing his sisters; Jeni and Jeri were there. But then, he pissed off when he saw his father too. He then walked to Berhalter.
"Coach, I'll be leaving for a while" said Ryan.
"Is there anything is wrong?" asked Berhalter.
"Oh, no. I left something at my room" replied Ryan. Berhalter just nodded. When Ryan saw his sisters are looking at him, he just nodded before left.
"Who is the boy that just walked away? He seems familiar" said The Morgans' father, Michael.
"His name is Ryan Alexander Morgan. Do you remember that name?" asked Jeni. Michael is so surprised.
"What the hell is he doing here? Is he trying to threat you, Alex? I'll call the police then" said Michael.
"Don't have to. He's not threating me. He's a national player, just like me. He was the top scorer of this year's CONCACAF Gold Cup and he led the team in the final where they defeated Mexico to win the tournament" said Alex.
"He didn't turned into a drunkard or drugs addicted like you told us he would end up to" said Jeri.
"Really? If he didn't, why did he ran away from me?" asked Michael.
"Because he hated you. He didn't want to see your face ever again" replied Jeni.
"But I am his father and he's my legitimate son" said Michael.
"After you left him with his abusive mother, you still see yourself as one?" asked Alex.
"Let me talk to him" said Michael.
"No way!" said The Morgan Sisters.
"You break his heart enough. Besides, you're the one that told him that you didn't want any relationship with him anymore, right?" asked Jeni.
"Because I thought he would ended up be like his mother" replied Michael.
"In other words; you didn't trust him to be a better person in life" said Jeni.
"I don't care. I want to speak with him" said Michael.
"You don't deserve it. Since you already gave up on him" said Jeri.
"I'll find my own way then" replied Michael.
"Don't blame us or him if he hurts you" said Jeni.
Then, Ryan returned. He then takes a glass of water and sits nearby Tierna and her family.
"Where had you been, Ryan?" asked Tierna.
"Clear my head for a while" replied Ryan.
"Because he's here?" asked Tierna.
"Why else? I hope he just stayed away from me though. Who knows what might I do if he comes near me" said Ryan.
"By the way, this is my mom; Helen and this is my dad; Greg. Mom, dad. This is my bestfriend; Ryan" said Tierna.
"Hi, Mr and Mrs Davidson. It's a pleasure to meet you here" said Ryan.
"Pleasure is all ours" said Helen.
"That's true. Tierna told us everything about you. You're a damn survivor" said Greg.
"Thank you, sir" replied Ryan.
"By the way, you both are talking about your father just now, right?" asked Greg.
"Yes, sir. And he's right here" replied Ryan.
"You know, after what he did to you, he deserved a punch or two" said Greg.
"Yeah, totally agreed" said Ryan.
"Dad! Don't revert my unofficial twin to the dark side" said Tierna. Ryan just chuckled.
"C'mon, sweetheart. After what that man did to him, a punch or two wouldn't hurt" said Greg.
"Don't mind him, Ryan. He always like that" said Helen.
"It's okay, ma'am. It's not a bad idea though" said Ryan. Tierna then kicked Ryan's left leg. "What?"
"Somehow, I regret to introduce you both to each other" said Tierna. Ryan and Greg just chuckled. Then, Ryan saw Michael approaching him.
"Sir, I think I will get a chance soon" said Ryan. Greg just smirked.
"Ryan. I want to talk to you" said Michael.
"Sorry, I don't feel like I want to talk to you right now. Not that I will ever want though" said Ryan.
"Look, son. I kn-" before Michael can finished, Ryan cuts him off.
"Whoa, whoa. Hold on a second. Let me remind you this. First, you left me with my abusive mom. Second, you shoved me away 6 years ago. You said that you don't care what happen to me anymore before I can even informed you that my mom is dead. And now, you have balls to come in front of me after I started to success in my life and call me your son?" asked Ryan furiously.
"I'm your father and you're my legitimate son. There's nothing can changed from that" replied Michael.
"You know what. You better go away and stop telling the whole world that you're my father" said Ryan.
"What if I don't want to?" asked Michael sarcastically.
"Something bad will happen to you" replied Ryan.
"Oh, really? Maybe I want to know what it is. Who knows if you just all talk" said Michael.
"Is that a challenge, old man?" asked Ryan.
"So what if it is a challenge? What you gonna do? Nothing! Just like I thought" said Michael. Ryan just smirked before suddenly hits Michael with a underhook punch with his right hand causing Michael to fell backward. Now, there's a fear in his eyes.
"Didn't I warned you already?" asked Ryan. Then, the rest of The Morgans came. Pamela checked on her husband while Alex walked to Ryan and slapped him.
"What's that for?" asked Ryan.
"For doing something you shouldn't. He's an old man, Ryan! How could you did something like that to him?!" asked Alex with a high voice.
"He challenged me. Besides, he deserved it" replied Ryan.
"He's an old man! He don't deserved to be hurt like that" said Alex.
"After what he did to me, I said he is" replied Ryan.
"Unbelievable. You know what, I want you to apologize to him right now!" said Alex.
"No way" said Ryan.
"Do it!" said Alex.
"No, I won't" said Ryan.
"Very well, then. Our plan was canceled. I don't want to see your face anymore" said Alex.
"What? You want to leave me just like him?" asked Ryan. Alex ignored him and just walked away. Meanwhile, Pamela helped Michael to get up before they both left.
"Don't worry, little bro. We'll talk to Alex later on" said Jeni.
"Don't bother, sis. I already get use to people leaving me alone" said Ryan.
"And you deserved better" said Jeri before pulled Ryan into a hug. Jeni then joined them.
"Don't worry about Alex. We'll talk to her after she cooled her head down" said Jeni.
"We need to go now. We'll call you sometimes" said Jeri.
"Okay. Thanks for being nice to me after I punched that old man" replied Ryan.
"Well, he deserved more to be honest" said Jeni.
"Exactly" said Jeri then. Ryan just chuckled. Then, Jeni and Jeri gave Ryan one more hug before left.
"What a punch that was" said Greg.
"Well, I never thought it will that hard though since I am lefty" said Ryan. Greg just chuckled.
"Mom, dad just corrupting my unofficial twin!" said Tierna.
"There's nothing I can do about it" said Helen.
"Ryan. A word please" said Berhalter.
"I'll be right back" said Ryan before walked to Berhalter.
"I have such a bad feeling about this" said Tierna.
"It's okay, honey. He'll managed somehow" said Greg.
Meanwhile;
"I am so disappointed with you, Morgan" said Berhalter.
"I'm sorry for that, sir" replied Ryan.
"Sorry is not enough, boy. I'm telling you this. You better enjoyed this night because starting tomorrow, you're out of the team as I won't call you up anymore and I don't think that I need you for the rest of victory tour" said Berhalter. Ryan was so surprised.
"Sir, you can't be serious" said Ryan.
"I am" said Berhalter.
"Very well. Thanks for all the opportunity" said Ryan before walked away.
"So, boy. What happen?" asked Greg. Ryan told the Davidsons what happened and they were so surprised.
"Seriously? He's crazy" said Helen.
"But, you still can appeal. How come the men's team doing a victory tour without the top scorer of the tournament" said Tierna.
"I won't. There's no use" said Ryan.
"It's okay, boy. He will regret it soon enough. Anyway, Helen and I must go now. We hope that we can see you again" said Greg.
"Okay, sir" said Ryan.
"Take care, young man" said Helen. Ryan just nodded. Then, Tierna walked her parents out. Ryan then makes a signal to 3 his closest friends; Pulisic, McKennie and Cannon to meet him at his and Pulisic's room.
Later on;
Ryan just told Pulisic, McKennie and Cannon about what happen. 3 of them were so surprised.
"He's crazy. You're the top scorer of the Gold Cup and he removed you from the team?" asked McKennie.
"That's true. Not to mention, remove you from the rest of victory tour despite you're the golden boot winner?" asked Pulisic then.
"Yup" replied Ryan while packed his stuff as he decided to return to Cardiff on that night.
"Won't you appeal?" asked Cannon.
"I won't. I don't do anything wrong with the team. If I appeal, it will seems like I'm the one that guilty" replied Ryan.
"That's right too" said Pulisic. Later, they heard somebody knocked the door. Ryan then opened the door and saw Mal.
"Hey, Mal. What are you need?" asked Ryan.
"This" said Mal before slapped Ryan on his face.
"Hey, what's that for?!" asked Ryan.
"For hurting an old man, not to mention; your own father" replied Mal.
"He deserved that after what he did to me" said Ryan.
"No, he doesn't. He's an old man. I can't believe that I having crush with someone that had less humanity value. From now on, you're not my friend anymore. Don't bother to look for me again. I'll block you from all social media and delete your phone number" said Mal before walked away. Ryan then closed the door.
"I make a right decision on leaving immediatly. I lose a sister, spot in a team, and crush in one night" said Ryan.
"Crush?" asked Pulisic, McKennie and Cannon.
"Yeah. I like her since the first time I met her. But, it doesn't really matter right now" said Ryan.
"Be strong, dude" said Cannon.
"I will. By the way, my uber had arrived. We'll meet again later" replied Ryan.
"Okay, bro. Have a nice trip" said Pulisic. Ryan just nodded. Then, he bumping fists with 3 of them before left.
Ryan then makes his way to the booked uber. After puts all his stuff inside the car, he enters it.
"Okay, sir. Let's go" said Ryan. The driver just nodded before drives away to the airport.
