Revealing Secrets

As I opened the door to get into my car, I noticed my phone's backlight was lit up. I grabbed it and noticed that I had multiple texts and voicemails from Melyssa. Without taking the time to read any of them, I quickly glanced at the time and drove off to her house. Hopefully she was still up at three in the morning.

There were no lights on in the house as drove towards it, so I turned off my headlights and pulled into the driveway. From there, I got under the porch to grab the ladder and put it on the side of the house, beside her window. As I climbed up, I saw her room's light turn on and she opened the window to my surprise.

"Oh thank God you're alright. Why didn't you get ahold of me?"

"Hun, I'm freezing. Just let me in there please."

"Oh, right. Yeah get in, get in."

I crawled through the window and went to sit down on her bed. She smiled to know I was alright, but was also concerned about what happened.

"What happened there at the school tonight? I heard there was a shooting."

"Damn, that hit the news already?"

"It's 3:30 babe, I'm pretty sure whatever happened earlier tonight would have been in the 10 o'clock news."

"True. Anyways, I was making my speech and suddenly someone fired shots from the top row. They didn't hit me, obviously, but they hit a bunch of people in the crowd...including Evan."

"Oh my God. Is he alright?"

"I don't know. I took him to the ER before the amblulances got there but with the amount of wounded coming in, there was no way I could stay and check in on him. I'm really worried Mel."

"I'm so sorry Ethan. Why did a guy bring a gun to the game in the first place?"

I gulped. Now would be the best time to tell her.

"Okay, I have to reveal something to you."

"I'm listening..."

"Alright, here it goes. I got myself into some trouble at Syracuse. When I left to go to fall camp, I went to a party a few days before practice started. And no, I didn't cheat on you."

That little comment at the end got her to smile, which made me feel a little more comfortable telling her about Rodney.

"I never thought you would Ethan."

"I wouldn't. Anyways, I ended up meeting this guy named Rodney there. He introduced me to the 'operation', otherwise known as the biggest sports gambling ring in central New York. After some conversation, he got me hooked and in it as his client. He was betting on my performances and if I didn't make the grade, I got a strike. Well after three strikes..."

"I know how baseball works. But why...why get into something like that?"

"Hun, I don't know. I was more forced into it than anything. Whenever I had great games to start off the season and saw that paycheck come in, I was estatic. That money was definitely needed for something in the future. However, once I dropped that touchdown pass against West Virginia, it's like something really pissed Rodney off. It really worried me and that's why I struggled the next few games. I'm guessing that the whole shooting was planned if I got three strikes. Damn, I feel absolutely awful."

She picked up my chin and looked me straight in the eyes. I was bracing for the worst.

"Babe listen. I'm proud of you for coming forth and admitting your mistakes. No matter what you think, the shooting wasn't your fault. That Rodney guy...he's at fault. He shouldn't have held a grudge like that for losing you money."

"Something's fishy about this though. I mean, my roommate Delone said he went through the same thing. When he got three strikes, Rodney somehow injured his hip, making him too hurt to play next year. Now why would he just injure Delone and try to kill me? It doesn't make sense."

"Hmm, yeah it doesn't. Well I'm relieved to see you're here, alright. You going to leave or stay the night here?"

"I'm staying here. Here let me turn on the radio and we'll fall asleep to some music."

"Haha, alright babe."

I walked over and turned on the radio to the local 24/7 station, WSKE. Some Rascal Flatts came throught the speakers and as I went to lay down beside Melyssa, the music suddenly stopped.

"Sorry to interrupt your listening pleasure but we have a newsbreak in the shooting case last night. It has been revealed that out of the 10 wounded, one survived. We'll provide names whenever we get the chance."

My heart dropped as I got out of the bed. Mel tried to comfort me but my mind was in other places. My phone started to ring and as it read Bedford Hospital on my caller ID, I took one deep breath and answered it...

[Justo]

Miracle

"Hello?"

"Yes, is this Ethan Woy?"

"Yeah...you're speaking to him."

"We've got some news for you about the shooting case."

I paused for a second, cleared my throat and braced for the worst. I could feel a tear slowly falling down my cheek and saw a worried expression on Melyssa's face. Things were definitely not looking good.

"Okay..."

"Well out of the 10 wounded, there was only one that survived..."

Geez, could you make me feel any worse? Just break the bad news to me already.

"Yeah, and?"

"We are fortunate to tell you that Evan is the survivor and will make a full recovery."

Oh, thank the Lord. What a huge relief. With everything going wrong in my life lately, it was nice to have a miracle work in my favor. The tears turned from ones of sadness to ones of joy. Melyssa thought that I got the bad news and came over to comfort me, but I put a smile on to reveal the news was good.

"Oh my...wow. I can't believe it. Thank you so much."

"You should be thanking yourself. The reason why he's still alive is because you got him here before everyone else. We're going to keep him here for a little while longer, but he should be home for Christmas."

"God, I'm so happy now. It's a miracle."

"Yes, yes it is. Well I'll let you go, you're probably really tired after this hectic night. Just wanted to give you the good news."

"Once again, thank you so much. Thank everyone in that ER right now. If I can do anything to pay them back, just let me know."

"Haha, will do. Good night."

I hung up the phone and looked right at Melyssa. I've never felt this happy and relieved until this moment. All the past mistakes and faults in my life were gone. I didn't care about the high school suspension. I didn't care about CP's threats. I didn't care about my beef with Greg. I didn't care about dropping the game winning pass against West Virginia. I didn't care about almost committing suicide. All that I cared about was that Evan would be alright and my family would be too. Melyssa and my future child would have their father around, without the threat of him leaving. Everything was going to be alright.

"Everything's going to be alright?"

Staring right into her gorgeous, deep green eyes, I gave her an extended kiss. When I let go, we both smiled and I said...

"Yes Melyssa, everything's going to be alright."

[Lumpkin]

glad to see Evan's alright too bad Ethan couldn't have stuffed the other nine people in his car.

I like your new avatar too

[Woy]

Fuck!!! Damn, this bitch has got a guardian angel.

You calling me a bitch? Haha.
