The Last Football Season.

Ken

Senior year,

was finally here.

Starting offensive line,

should be signing D1 in spring,

pretty girlfriend, Homecoming Queen,

new truck,

life was good...

right?

As he rode the bus,

his teammates gave him high-fives

they all looked up to Him,

He was the captain,

but nothing could hide the loneliness he was feeling inside,

his dad died last spring

and it felt like a piece of him was missing,

no amount a touch downs could fill that void,

this was suppose to be their season...

now it just felt meaningless...

then he heard,

Late in the midnight hour....

2:18 AM

It felt good to be back in her childhood bed. The purple covers engulfed her and Hello Kitty surrounded her. She came home for the weekend from The University of Kentucky, she took the Mega Bus, it was a long 8 hour treck but it was so worth it. Especially to see her little sister. Ashley was having a very peaceful rest, until she heard the glass shatter. She heard the noise of body hit the wall. Oh, No. Not again. Fear gripped her, she was paralyzed. She heard muffled crying and yelling from upstairs. The fear constricted her body even more. The same fear that she was acquainted with came back, the same fear that hunted her since childhood. I thought this was over? I thought mom had learned? The same hatred for her dad came creeping back... She grabbed her purple iPhone...she couldn't dial 911. She attempted to get out to of bed to diffuse the situation but she was frozen. She sank deeper and deeper into her blanket, covering her head. She tried to pray, she knew that would help, She had even been attending Wildcats for Christ at UK, but she was tip toeing with the idea of Jesus, she hadn't fully surrendered yet. How Could she? She didn't know what the love of A Father was. All she had was fear of hers.

Welcome In.

Her Pink Nike's were laced up.
She was ready.
The wet grass was beneath her feet. The night was beginning to fall.
Overwhelmed. overwhelmed.
She needed out.
She knew how.
School was horrible.
Her boyfriend of 3 years was cheating on her...with her cousin...
talk about heartbreak.
