YES, THIS IS STILL GOING ON!

I'm sorry about not posting for a longtime, but that's about to change.

Expect a lot of updates in the next week, starting tonight.

Also, I'm glad that you like it.

September 18, 2009

The rest of the week went relatively normal. We lost the freshman game by 7, the final score was 28-21.

Johnny still needed his crutches to walk.

I still had a broken arm, but that was really my only injury remaining. As my concussion had faded away.

But today was an important one, our varsity team played Rockville, and I had to choose between Madison and Alexis.

I walked into school and immediately walked over to Johnny.

"Hey man." I said.

"Hey." He said, obviously distracted.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"My leg may keep me out for the rest of the season, the doctors said it was worse than initially thought."

That news hit me like a brick, not only would he be out, which was bad for the team, but it was all my fault.

The day went by slow, and my teachers patience wore down fast. I couldn't pay attention, I had one of the most important decisions of my life coming up. At least fifteen year old me thought.

But then it was gametime, and Coach Patterson had called me over.

"Yes coach?" I said, wondering what he needed.

"I want you to look at the defensive coverage and inform me of everything you see. Okay?" He asked.

"Yes sir." I said taking a seat on the bench, grabbing a clipboard.

It took me about two possessions to realize what they were doing:
They were playing with two high safeties, but never keeping them in deep coverage, they would blitz or go in hook zones, but never deep zones.

The final score is Washington Wildcats 38, Rockville Eagles 35.

"Thanks for that info Aaron." Coach Patterson said after the game.

"No problem." I said.

I walked away from the stadium, I had been the last one there. I didn't want to choose.

I walked into the cafe, where we had decided to go for the choice.

"Who's it going to be?" Alexis asked.

"Can I ask you both a question?" I asked, needing some answers.

"Sure." They both looked at each other and said.

"Madison. Why did you say no to me for homecoming?" I asked, still feeling hurt by her answer to that.

"I don't know... I just felt like we were moving too fast, and my parents don't know you yet, and I just didn't want to lead you on if nothing was going to happen." She said, looking at me in a way that I truly understood what she said.

"I'm sorry Alexis, but my choice is made." I said, hoping she wouldn't take it badly.

"Oh, okay." She said, she quickly gathered her things and left.

Madison and I talked for a while, but then I took a chance. We started to walk to her house, and when we got to her door:

"Madison, will you go to homecoming with me?" I asked.

"Yes, yes!" She screamed with Glee.

We embraced and then kissed.

Well one of my problems was solved, but I still couldn't play football.

TheOnlyIThinkJake · 11-28-2014, 10:10 AM

Also sorry this was late.

On Wednesday I had to help a friend.

And Thursday was Thanksgiving, so I didn't have a lot of time.

September 23, 2009

My concussion was fully gone, and my arm was better. However Coach Smith found a way to play, we just needed to get a certain type of cast.

The junior varsity game, we lost 42-45, on a last second field goal. It was a sixty yarder, their kicker had an incredible leg.

But today was Wednesday, and it was also the day of the Freshman game against KingsWood.

And more importantly, it was the day I could play football again.

I met up with Madison before I went into the locker room.

"Good luck." She said.

"I don't need any." I said with a grin, obviously joking.

"Get in here Street!" Coach Smith yelled.

"Well, gotta go." I said starting to walk away.

"Wait..." Madison said. She walked up to me and hugged me. "Do good out there, I know you will." We kissed.

"Okay Street, you're gonna start at running back and at right outside linebacker." Coach Patterson told me as I entered the locker room.

"What?" I asked, I had never played outside linebacker before.

"You'll do fine." He said.

"Last play of the first half, we have a seven point lead. What do you guys wanna do?" Cole Samples asked us in the huddle.

"HB toss." Brandon Striker said, giving me a wink.

"Set...Set... HutHut!" Cole Samples yelled out.

He pitched it back to me.

I saw Brandon open downfield.

I threw it.

Touchdown!

"Aaaghhhh!"

I had gotten hit late on the play, and I fell on my left arm.

We won the game, but I couldn't go back in. Our trainer told me to wait til next Monday to try and play again.

I didn't leave the field with everyone else.

I just sat out in the middle of the field.

"D**mn it!" I said.

I would be sidelined again.

Then I heard footsteps coming up behind me.

Then I felt an arm go around me.

"It's okay Aaron." Madison said as she leaned in to me.

I stayed silent.

"Come on, let's go." She said. We got up and started to walk away.

We got outside of the stadium, but somebody else was there.

It took me a minute to recognize who it was.

"Riley?" I asked.

drockthebeast · 11-28-2014, 06:59 PM

How you gonna leave us on that cliffhanger 😢

TheOnlyIThinkJake · 11-29-2014, 12:12 AM

"Riley?" I asked.

"Yep. In the flesh." He said.

"Where. Where have you been?" I asked.

"I needed to repay some debts. I'm sorry about what happened to Mom and with Darren." He said until I cut him off.

"What happened with Mom?" I asked, needing this closure.

"It was one of Darren's possy members." He said.

"Should I go?" Madison asked.

"Yes, you can." I said.

"You'll be okay?" She asked, hugging me.

"I'll be fine." I said.

She walked away and I stared at my brother in silence.

"Are we good?" He finally asked, breaking the silence.

I let out a bit of a laugh.

"How would we be good?" I asked, raising my voice to him.

"What do you mean?" He looked concerned.

"You never showed up. Your actions got mom... And of course you show no remorse, or consideration for anyone other than yourself." I said. I had finally let out all of what I thought. I thought that that was what I had always needed to do, but then I saw his face change to sadness and anger at himself.

"I get it now. I'll be in town for a while, if you change your mind." He said walking away.

I waited for him to get far enough away and then I let out a scream.

I felt so angry, sad, and frustrated.

I went back to my spot on the field and just sat.

I know it's a bit short, but there will be more updates out tomorrow.
