The car ride home had in fact been a bit of an empty, and a bit of a silent one. As it was that Xavier did in fact not seem to want to say a single thing about the practice that we just had. As it was that the fact that the guys had in fact nearly got in to a big fight, all at the exact same time too.
Which was in fact the first time that any sort of beef had started between our team mates this year. As it was that I kind of just seemed to have stood there and stared for just a little bit of some time, at that. As I was really wondering if it was that it was actually good that these guys were in fact playing on our team, never the less.
I knew that I was happy as to the fact that we did in fact have team mates. But I also felt like I should not let my own sort of greed take over me. As I felt like if they were not going to get along with what we already had going for us. I did not want to lose as to just what it was that we already had.
I kind of just seemed to let out a bit of a rough sigh, all at once. As it was that we just then did in fact just seem to start to pull up in to the parking lot. Of just what it was that was in fact our apartment complex. And what it was that you felt like you did in fact want to say was in fact our home, all at the exact same time too.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have stood there. And I had in fact just seemed to have stared for quite a bit more time, all at the exact same time as well, at that. That was when I just then did in fact just seem to start to all of the sudden just begin to start to hear the voice of Xavier. As it was clear to me that he was in fact talking to me just now, all at the exact same time too, at that, all at once.
I just was not all too sure if it was that I did in fact really want to hear as to just what ever it was that he did in fact feel like he even needed to say on over towards me, just now. As I kind of just seemed to blink my eyes a few times, all at the exact same time too. As I just seemed to lift my head up, all at once, at that.
And I just then did in fact just seem to start to look right on over towards Xavier, just as soon as it was that I had in fact just seemed to have done as such a thing like that. As I just seemed to have stood there and stared in to his eyes, all at once. As I just then did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what it was that he did in fact feel like he even needed to say, all at the exact same time too.
"Don't worry too much about it kid... It will all be fine... We will get it sorted out before the game on Saturday... He said to me, all at the exact same time too, all at once. As he had a bit of a smile on his face as to just what it was that it seemed like he really did not actually believe as to just what it was that he had even said to me, at that.
As it was that it just did in fact not seem to make me feel better what so ever about any of this. As I kind of just seemed to gulp, as it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to dip my head down. As I just seemed to stare down at the dash board of the car that I was in fact in just now.
As it was that I was not really all too sure as to just what it was that I should really even say back to that, at that. As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to all of the sudden. I then did in fact feel a hand grab my shoulder, all at the exact same time too, at that.
As it was that it kind of freaked me out a little bit at first. As it was that I knew that it was now completely dark all around me just now. As that was due to the fact that Xavier had in fact taken the keys out of the ignition, all at the exact same time too.
As the car had in fact just seemed to have stopped, all at the exact same time too. As I just seemed to hold on to this dark silence for quite a bit of some time, at that. Until it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to suddenly lift my head up.
And I just then did in fact just seem to start to then look at Xavier right in to his eyes. Or at least where it was that I felt like his eyes were at. As it was in fact quite a bit hard to see just now. Due to the fact that it was in fact so dark out just now, all at the exact same time as well, at that.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have locked eyes with him. At least as far as it was that I felt like I could in fact tell, at that. That was when I just then did in fact just seem to start to go right on ahead. And I just then did in fact begin to start to speak right on over towards him, at that.
As soon as it was that I had in fact just seemed to have done as such a thing like that, all at the exact same time too, at that. That was when I just then did in fact just seem to start to all of the sudden go right on ahead. And I just then did in fact begin to start to notice that it was that it was clear to me. That he was in fact beginning to start to listen as to just what ever it was that I did in fact feel like I even needed to say on over towards him in the very first place any ways, at that.
"Yeah... I guess so... Let's just go in side though... We can talk about it in there..." I said, as I kind of just seemed to shiver a little bit as to just what it was that I had even said. As I really did in fact not like to be out here in the middle of the night. Much less in the pitch black dark of the night, all at the exact same time too, at that.
As it was that I knew that it was that I was in fact quite a bit freaked out as to the fact that it was. That I knew that some one could in fact run up on us for one thing. And that they could in fact attack us, all at the exact same time as well, never the less.
That was just the type, and the part of the city that we were in fact in just now, at that. As I kind of felt like I just wanted to get in side and get safe, all at the exact same time too. As it was that I saw that there was in fact a man that was in fact just seeming to stand there and stare at a near by light, never the less, at that.
As he just seemed to be smoking a cigarette, all at the exact same time as well, at that. As, as far as it was that I could in fact tell. The guy seemed to be paying no such sort of attention. And he seemed to not be paying us any sort of mind what so ever.
But I still felt like it was that it did in fact never hurt to be too careful. As I felt like it was that I just wanted to get in side, all at the exact same time as well, at that. As I just then did in fact just seem to start to let out a little bit of a soft sigh to my self all of the sudden, at that.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have stood there and stared for just a little bit more time. That was when I notice that it was that Xavier did in fact have a little bit of an amused look on his face just now. As it was that he just then did in fact begin to start to all of the sudden just begin to start to speak on over towards me, all at the exact same time too.
Just as it was that I had in fact just seemed to have realized that it was that he had in fact just seemed to have done as such a thing like that. That was when I just then did in fact just seem to start to do the same thing as it was that I had done before now, at that. As I just then did in fact just seem to start to stare right in to his eyes.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have done as such a thing like that, all at once. He just then did in fact just seem to start to continue to speak on over towards me of course. As it was clear that he did in fact realize as to the fact that it was. That I was in fact beginning to start to listen as to just what ever it was that he felt like he even needed to say on over towards me, all at the exact same time as well, none the less.
"Alright kid... You're right..." He said to me, all at the exact same time too, all at once, at that. As he just then did in fact just seem to unlock the doors to the car, all at once. As I just then did in fact just seem to start to see that it was that he just then did in fact just seem to start to get out of his door, all at the exact same time too.
Just as it was that I had in fact just seemed to have seen him do as such a thing like that, all at the exact same time as well. That was when I just then did in fact begin to start to realize that I did in fact need to do the same thing as him. As it was that I knew that I did in fact not want to sit alone in the car in the dark, at that.
As I just then did in fact just seem to start to unbuckle my seat belt, all at the exact same time too. And I just then did in fact begin to start to open the door to my part, all at the exact same time as well, at that. As I just then did in fact just seem to start to all of the sudden get out of the car, just as soon as it was that I had in fact just seemed to have done as such a thing like that, all at the exact same time too.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have got out of the car, all at the exact same time too. I just then did in fact just seem to see that it was that Xavier was in fact waiting for me, all at once, at that. As I just then did in fact just seem to start to hear a beep all of the sudden, at that.
As it was clear to me that he had in fact just seemed to have locked up the car, at that. As it was that I seemed to feel a little bit better, all at the exact same time too, at that. As I just then did in fact just seem to start to nod on over towards Xavier, at that.
As it was that I let him know that I was in fact letting him take the lead on over towards the house, all at the exact same time as well, never the less. As I just then did in fact just seem to start to go right on ahead. And I just then did in fact seem to start to speak a little bit quietly to my self, all at the exact same time too, as well.
"Yeah yeah... What ever..." I said to my self, as it was a little bit more the fact that it was that I seemed to be talking to my self just now. Rather than the fact that it was that I seemed like I was responding back to just what it was that Xavier had said to me just a few seconds before now.
As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to let out a little bit of another soft sigh to my self, just as soon as it was that I had in fact just seemed to have said as to what it was that I had even said, at that.
As I kind of just then did in fact just seem to start to follow on over towards where it was that Xavier was in fact taking us to. Which of course was the fact that he was in fact taking us to our home, at that. As I just then did in fact just seem to start to see that the front porch was in fact lit up, all at the exact same time too, at that.
As it was that just as soon as it was that I had in fact just seemed to have realized that it was in fact the case, all at the exact same time as well. That was when I just then did in fact begin to start to all of the sudden go right on ahead, all at once. And I just then did in fact just seem to start to see that it was that Xavier then did in fact put his keys in to the door handle, all at the exact same time too.
As it was that it was in fact clear to me that Xavier was in fact unlocking it for us, all at the exact same time too. As I just then did in fact just seem to hear the lock click, all at the exact same time as well, at that. As I just then did in fact just seem to start to all of the sudden go right on ahead, at that.
And I just then did in fact just seem to start to go right on ahead, at that. And I just then did in fact just seem to start to see that the door then opened. As Xavier then did in fact just seem to all of the sudden begin to start to speak, all at the exact same time too.
Just as soon as it was that I had in fact just seemed to have realized that it was that it had in fact been the case, all at the exact same time too. That was when I just then did in fact just seem to start to turn my head right back on over towards him, all at once. As I just then did in fact just seem to start to listen as to just what ever it was that he did in fact feel like he even needed to say, all at the exact same time too.
"Well... We are home!" He said, as it was that he seemed to have a little bit of a sarcastic little smile on his face. Just as soon as it was that he had in fact just seemed to have said as to just what it was that he had even said, all at the exact same time too.
As it seemed like it was that he almost did in fact feel like he did fact not want to be here, at that. As I was in fact kind of a bit lost as to just why that was in fact the case, at that. As I wondered if it was that it was the fact that it was that he and my mother had in fact not seemed to be getting along as of late what so ever, at that.
As it was that I knew that my mother did not really seem to say any thing about it, at that. But I could tell that just based off of the odd and strange look that it was that she did in fact seem to have on her face. It was clear to me that some thing was just not right between the 2 of them, all at the exact same time as well.
I kind of just seemed to let out another much more heavy sigh to my self, all at the exact same time too. Which luckily enough for me, Xavier did in fact either not seem to notice. Or he just seemed to ignore as to the fact that it was that I had in fact just done as such a thing like that, all at once.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have done as such a thing like that, all at once. That was when I just then did in fact just seem to start to all of the sudden go right on ahead. And I just then did in fact begin to start to go right on ahead, all at once. And I just then did in fact just seem to start to suddenly speak a little bit quietly to my self, at that.
"Well... Here we go..." I said, as it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to walk right through the front door, all at once. As it was that I could smell some thing in the kitchen that was in fact cooking, all at the exact same time too, at that.
As it was that I kind of just seemed to close my eyes, as it was that the door did in fact just seem to close behind me, all at once. As it was that I felt a lot more safe now that it was that we were in side. And it was that I could enjoy a nice fresh meal of my mother's cooking, all at the exact same time as well, at that.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have stood there and stared for just a little bit more time. That was when I just then did in fact just seem to all of the sudden smile. As it was that I just then did in fact just seem to start to to open my eyes, all at the exact same time too, at that.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have done as such a thing like that, all at the exact same time too. I just then did in fact just seem to see that it was, at that. That the fact of my mother was in fact poking out from the kitchen, all at the exact same time too, all at once, at that.
As it was that she too did in fact have a bit of a smile of her own on her face, just as soon as it was that I had in fact just seemed to have noticed that we were in fact back home, all at the exact same time too. As it was that she just then did in fact just seem to start to all of the sudden go right on ahead, all at once, at that. And she just then did in fact just seem to start to suddenly speak on over towards the both of us, all at once, as well.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have began to have noticed that it was in fact the case, at that. I did in fact just seem to start to stare at my mother right in to her eyes, all at the exact same time too, at that. As I just then did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what ever it was that she did in fact feel like he even needed to say, all at the exact same time too, at that.
"Well! Good to see your boys faces! You guys are back home early!" She said, all at the exact same time too, at that. As it was that at first, she just seemed to have a smile on her face, all at the exact same time too, at that. Until it was that she then did in fact just seem to start to look back on Xavier, at that. As I at first thought that it was due to the fact that it was that they both were not getting along just now, at that. But it was clearly not the case, as to just why it was that he smile had gone away.
As it was in fact clear to me that it was, that all at the exact same time too. That Xavier seemed to not have a smile on his face at all. As it seemed like he was perfectly fine and content with ruining the mood that was in fact in the air, all at the exact same time too.
I kind of just seemed to roll my eyes a little bit to my self, all at the exact same time too. As I just then did in fact just seem to start to speak up a little bit extra loud to my self, all at the exact same time as well. As I just then did in fact once again begin to start to speak up to my self. This time a little bit louder than before, to make sure that Xavier could in fact hear as to just what it was that I did in fact feel like I even needed to say, at that.
"Okay party pooper!" I said to my self, all at the exact same time too. As I knew for a fact that it was, that Xavier had in fact heard as to just what it was that I had even said, at that. But it was that he just seemed to ignore as to just what it was that I had even just said, all at the exact same time too.
As he just seemed to have stood there and stared for just a little bit more time, all at the exact same time too. As I just then did in fact eventually try to keep my self as calm. And I just did my best to try to keep my self as cool as I felt like I possibly could in the mean time, all at once. As I just then did in fact just seem to start to go right on ahead, all at once.
And I just then did in fact all of the sudden just go right on ahead, all at the exact same time too. And I just then did in fact just seem to suddenly begin to start to hear the voice once again. As it was clear that my mom was in fact beginning to start to speak back to Xavier, all at once.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have began to have heard her do as such a thing like that. I just then did in fact just seem to stand there and stare at her right in to her eyes. As I just then did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what ever it was that she even needed to say, all at the exact same time as well, never the less.
"Well... Clearly you are not okay Xavier! Would you like to speak about it?" She said, all at the exact same time too, all at once, at that. As I saw that it was that my mother did in fact just seem to have her eyes wide. Just as soon as it was that she had in fact even just said what it was that she had even said, all at the exact same time too.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have stood there and stared for just a few moments time, all at the exact same time too. That was when I just then did in fact just seem to start to suddenly turn my head right back on over towards Xavier, once again. As I just then did in fact just seem to start to look on over towards him, all at the exact same time too.
Just as soon as it was that I had in fact just seemed to have done as such a thing like that. That was when I just then did in fact just seem to start to go right on ahead. And I just then did in fact just seem to start to hear him begin to speak back to my mother.
I kind of felt a little bit better just as soon as it was that Xavier had in fact just seemed to have done as such a thing like that. As I just then did in fact let out a little bit of a soft and a little bit of a gentle sigh to my self. As I just then did in fact being to start to listen as to just what ever it was that he did in fact feel like he even needed to say back on over towards my mother, all at the exact same time too.
"Well... Why don't we talk about it when we get ready to eat at the dinner table..." He said, as it was that he tried to smile right back on over towards my mother. Just as soon as it was that he had in fact even just said as to just what it was that he had said to her.
But it was clear that neither one of them were in fact buying as to just what it was that Xavier was in fact selling just now, at that. As I kind of shivered a little bit at first, all at the exact same time too. As I at first wondered if it had any thing to do with me at all.
I just then did in fact begin to start to remember as to just what it was that had happened at practice how ever. And I just then did in fact let out a little bit of a guilty sigh of relief to my self, all at once, at that. As it was that I was in fact glad that it was that it was not any thing that I had done wrong.
How ever, I also knew as to just what it was that had in fact happened in practice, at that. As I kind of just then did in fact just seem to shake my head a little bit to my self. As I did my best to try to get my mind and my focus off of the rest of that other stuff, all at the exact same time too.
As it was that I had in fact just seemed to have done as such a thing like that, all at once. That was when I just then did in fact begin to start to hear the voice of my mother. As she just then did in fact begin to start to speak back on over towards Xavier, at that.
I just then did in fact just seem to turn my head on over towards my mother. As it was that I could tell that she was lost just now. Just based off of the look that was on her face. As I just then did in fact begin to start to listen as to just what ever it was that she did in fact feel like she even needed to say back on over towards Xavier, all at the exact same time as well, at that.
"Well... I guess so... I did make some cabbage casserole for you both! I know it's your favorite!"
