The Dark Side
After getting out of the hospital on Friday, I spent most of the day at Troy's apartment. I wasn't feeling that great, so I slept most of the time - which ended up making me see those visions again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I can't believe this! Get the fuck out right now..."
...
"This just came in moments ago. There has been a shooting on the campus of the University of Buffalo..."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I woke up to my cell saying I had a voicemail.
"Be here at 7:30. No questions asked."
I knew I'd have to face Rodney sooner or later. Then I looked to the side to see the clock read...
"7:20!? Fuck, I got to go!"
I started running to the door, putting on a Syracuse football shirt as I made my way to my car. Exceeding the speed limit but luckily not seeing any cops, I made it to Rodney's headquarters at...
"You're late. It's 7:35."
Great, nice going Ethan.
"Sorry, it won't happen..."
"Shut up and just sit."
I could sense a lot of anger in Rodney's voice. I know I got one strike from the West Virginia debacle, but he had a heart to cut me some slack against Akron...especially since I was suspended for that game, right?
"How the fuck are you getting suspended!? You know how much money I lose because of that!?"
"Rodney, I can explain..."
Suddenly, he pulled out .45 automatic and put it at my temple. I knew to shut up then.
"Didn't I tell you to shut up?"
I gulped and glanced up at him with a frightened look.
"First of all, I needed one touchdown. Just one! And with the game on the line, we could have made out like bandits...but no! You had to go blow the fucking game!"
If he wasn't holding a gun to my head, I'd probably turn around and beat his ass right now, but I was more scared than pissed.
"And then what do you do after that? You almost fucking die! You're lucky I don't just kill you now!"
By then, I was saying silent prayers to the heavens above.
"But I won't, I can't have the feds on my ass."
Whew, that takes the monkey off my back.
"But if you do fuck up one more time in the season, consider your life in jeopardy."
And a bigger monkey just jumped on, great.
"By the way, I saw that you're suspended for the Akron. I don't give any sympthany points either, so that'll be strike two."
I better hire a bodyguard.
"But I will be nice. You play Cincinnati after Akron, right?"
I opened my mouth, but remembered what he said about talking. So I just nodded yes.
"Okay. I'll give you a five for 60 goal for that game. Not anything special, just want to see if you can get back on top of thing. Capiche?"
Again I just nodded my head.
"Good. Now get the hell out of here before I put you back in that hospital."
I grabbed my stuff and hurried out the door as he was laughing behind me. Looks like I've started to see the dark side of the buisness...Last edited by Woy; 08-31-2009, 03:23 PM.

And you can call me by my first name, Ethan, or by Woy - I don't mind either.

Staying in the Game
I felt disconnected with the team, as I saw them take the field against Akron on Saturday. Melyssa told me she wouldn't get back till the middle of next week, so I felt alone while watching the game. So instead of watching it by myself, I decided to call and have someone join me.
"Hello?"
"Yo, Jonny!"
"Haha, what's good Ethan?"
Yeah, that Jonny. Jonny Flynn decided to stay for his senior year after a rough season in 2008-09. Even though I've been in the middle of football season, I've also made some appearances at off-season basketball season workouts, and eventually molded a friendship with the starting point guard.
"What are you up to bro?"
"Oh nothing, just got done running; now I'm about to turn on the game. You know we're probably going to lose without you out there, right?"
Jonny was also one of the first people I told about the suspension. Coach Boeheim wanted to kick me off the basketball team after he heard about my episode, but thankfully Jonny conviced him not to.
"Haha, maybe so. You wanna watch it over here? I got a nice-sized screen to watch it on."
"Eh, sure why not? I'll be over in ten."
"Aight."
Jonny made his way over, and we watched started to watch the game. At halftime, Syracuse was leading 14-7 as I grabbed a Mountain Dew out of the fridge.
"So Ethan..."
"Yeah Jonny?"
"You smashing that blonde chick? Bitch is fine!"
"Haha no brah, I got my woman."
"What's her name anyways? I might wanna hit that if you're not."
"Britt."
Jonny's expression turned to one of shock when I said her name.
"What's up?"
"Oh nothing, the name just seems familiar. You know her last name?"
"Actually I don't, never thought about getting it."
"Okay, just wondering."
I was confused on why that name seemed familiar to him. Maybe it was a old hook-up or something? I was going to ask how the name seemed familiar, but he quickly changed the subject.
"You wanna ball or something after this?"
I thought about the consquences, but I needed to do something instead of stay in the apartment all day.
"Yeah sure. I got to get my shot down anyways in time for conference play."
We tacked on two more field goals and shutout Akron, leading to a 20-7 win. Delone stepped up in Mike and I's absences, scoring two touchdowns and rushing for 175 yards.
"You driving or am I?"
"You are, freshman's gas."
"Of course."
I drove out to one of the local outside courts. Jonny and I started just shooting around, then it got into a competitive game of horse. Shots started falling from everywhere, and then I decided to make things a little interesting.
"How much money do you got on you right now?"
"Umm, one hundred. You wanna make a wager?"
"Yeah I do. I throw down a dunk, I take home the money."
"You're six foot three! That's too easy."
"I wasn't finished. Remember the 2000 dunk contest?"
"Who couldn't have? Fucking VC stole the show."
"Exactly. I'm going to throw it off the backboard and put my arm through the rim."
"Bullshit."
"Just watch."
I took the ball from his hands and made my way to mid-court. Taking one dribble, I started running towards the hoop. I tossed it off the backboard a step inside the foul line and jumped up towards the rim.
"No fucking way."
I caught the ball and placed my arm perfectly inside the cylinder. As the ball fell through the net, I turned my head and just looked a Jonny, who had a look of disbelief on his face. As I jumped down, he dashed over to me, still surprised.
"When did you get those type of hops?"
"Greg doesn't throw enough lobs for me to showcase those, haha."
"Damn, it's going to be fun throwing alley-oops to you this year then."
"Yeah hopefully."
I was starting to feel good about basketball season coming up, but first I had to make it through football...
...which is a task in itself.
