GROUNDING 🏈 Nick Bosa

#TWENTY NINE.

As I turn into the parking lot at work, I notice barely any cars. Obviously, I thought this was very odd and wondered where everyone was at.

I walk onto the field and it was completely empty, not a single soul in a sight. I keep heading towards the SAP building when I see Kyle exiting the entrance doorway.

"What are you doing here?" He asks me.

I stare at him sorta confused.

"It's a bi-week." He says.

"Oh, that's right." I reply, palming my forehead.

I must have forgot since my entire world was crashing in all around me.

He shakes his head and laughs. "Jesus, Liliana."

Later that night.

Later that night, I go pick up some dinner. I patiently sit waiting for my order when I notice a couple sitting a few tables down from me. They both look so happy together. Meanwhile, I was feeling absolutely miserable on the inside.

After I grab my food, I head back home to eat and watch a comedy skit on Netflix. Whenever I'm sad, I try to watch funny stuff to try and make myself feel better. Back when I was younger, I would actually like to listen to sad music when I was feeling upset, but now that I'm older and have been to therapy, I realize it's much better to try to dig yourself out of the hole of depression, not dig yourself deeper.

A couple hours past and I was becoming bored and even more lonely. I decide to go out and get a drink, check out the night scene on the weekday.

I'm sitting at the bar, causally drinking a basic rum and Coke when I hear a familiar voice behind me.

"Liliana?"

I turn around to see Kyle Juszczyk and his wife Kristin.

"Oh, hey guys." I softly, smile.

"Are you alone, or waiting for someone?" She asks.

"It's just me." I answer, a bit embarrassed.

"Well, we are headed to a party. It's supposed to be really cool, want to join us?" She asks.

I sit pondering the idea for a second. Shit, why not? I think to myself. I wasn't doing anything and maybe being social could bring me out of my depressive state.

The party.

We arrive at the party and I follow closely behind them. I was shocked at how huge the house was and how many people were there. I was worried I might be the only one there that wasn't personally invited, but from the looks of it there was probably plenty of people here that didn't know each other.

"Let's go take a shot." Kristin says, leading me into the kitchen. She's pours us two shots each in little red cups. I normally wouldn't take two shots back to back, but I kinda needed to feel numb right now so, I do both.

I hangout a bit with her in the kitchen, taking a couple more shots. We talk for awhile and listen to music, I notice several 49er guys around the place, but don't approach them. After a bit I decide to go explore the huge house.
