They have just about time left to mount a drive, but on third and ten from their own thirty the quarterback watches the tight end just a little too closely, I step in front of the ball just before he gets it and I'm off to the end zone. I am not as fast as I was last year, the quarterback catches me at the five, but he can't stop me until we cross the goal line. I am getting up listening to the crowd cheer when I get hit from behind directly over the wound. I go down hard and my side and back feel like they did that day when I had to go in for the second surgery. I can hardly breathe for a couple of minutes. I hear the crowd has gone deathly quiet, not a good word to use when you feel like I do now. Dr. Ben and Mindy's mom are kneeling down beside me when I can see straight again. The pain is going away slowly, but it is going away. They are asking me if I'm okay. "I'm sure I will be. What happened?" "One of their players must have gotten frustrated and hit you late when you scored. They put him on their team bus, the crowd wants his hide. That is if Billy doesn't get him first." Billy really needs to work on letting out his feelings instead of keeping them all inside. At least that's what Kathy thinks. Join the team for their junior year and gathering speed to face life head on.
