Another Life

Chapter One - The Bar

**Before the story starts here's some valuable info: Tim's a pro football player, and Lucy is a Model.**

I was at the bar with the team when a someone caught my eye. This guy was following a girl out of the bar but not in a way that she was aware of. I tap Aaron, one of my teammates, and ask, "Does it look like that guy is trying to follow her? Like in a stalker kind of way?" After following my finger he says, "Yea, do you wanna go out to make sure she's alright?" "What's happening?" Jackson asks as the conversation at the table stops. "We say this girl being followed so we're just going to go make sure she's okay." I say getting up from the table and before I knew it, everyone at the table had gotten up to come with me.

When we get outside we could hear someone yelling, "Get off of me! Damn it Emmett, get off of me!" Following the voice to the ally way next to the bar we saw a man pinning someone to the wall, trying to push himself onto them. "You hear her." Aaron says, causing the man to jump. "Get off of her." I continue. "She doesn't know what she wants!" He says pining her back to the wall before realizing how many guys were standing behind him. "It's probably best if you go." Nolan says grabbing his shoulder as if to guide him away.

"Thank you," the woman said weakly. "Are you okay?" I asked pulling her under a light to examine her. "I'm fine." She said as she wiped away tears. "Lucy!?" Jackson questioned as he joining me at her side. "How do you know- wait, Jackson?" She said fully turning towards him. "Yes it me. Are you okay?" He said pulling her into a hug. "You know her?" Aaron asks raising an eyebrow. "We were best friends in high school and collage." He answered, dismissing the question.

After most of the guys went back into the bar, I asked,"Who was that guy?" Looking at me she said, "My Ex. He won't stop following me." As she finished her sentence Jackson's phone rang. "I'll be right back." He said leaving me with the girl, Lucy. "Wait give me a second, base on your hair, eyes and your concern, you're...Tim, right?" She asked studying me. "Yea?" I ask with a chuckle. "Jackson has told me about pretty much everyone on the team." She said before I could say anything else.

Jackson came back saying, "I have to go, nice seeing you Lucy and see you at practice Tim." "Bye!" Lucy shouted after him. "Do you need a ride home or anything?" I asked as she looked back at me. "That would be nice." She said smiling. "Okay, I'll just go get my stuff from inside." I said going back into the bar.

When I came outside she was looking up at the sky. "You ready?" I ask handing her a helmet. "What is this for?" She asks looking at me. "I drive a motorcycle, did Jackson leave that part out?" I say jokingly walking towards the bike. After explaining to her what to do I say, "If you don't want to, you don't have to. I can call you an Uber." Putting her helmet on she looks at me and says, "I'm okay with riding the motorcycle." "Okay then let's go!"
