ChapterThirteen: Big Changes

Today was game day, the first home game that Patrick will play in since his knee injury.......

Today was game day, the first home game that Patrick will play since his knee injury. The last two weeks have been away games, I was excited to see the energy in Arrowhead today at home with Patrick being back on the field.

I was Harvey's and Donna's sky box like when we had games at Arrowhead. Today's game was against the Vikings.

I took a sip of my beer when Mike walked up and stood next to me.

"How are you doing Ryan, "Mike asked me.

"Still in shock that Jessica picked me to replace her," I said looking at him.

"I think you will be amazing," Hanna said as her Yeri walked up to us.

"I never thought that one day my best friend would be my boss," Yeri said smiling at me. Mike, Hanna, and I looked at each other before laughing.

"So these mean you need to hire your replacement," Harvey said walking over to us. "Beofre say we don't need one and that you will do your job and Jessica's job I will hire one myself."

"I was not going to say that but now Harvey you are in charge of finding my replacement," I said looking at him.

"You got it, boss. Ryan just like I was Jessica's right-hand man I will be yours." He said hugging me.

"Thank you," I said hugging him back.

"I also know your mind is going there but we are all super proud that there is no more deserving for this role than you," Donna said walking up to me.

"Thank you, guys," I said as they all hugged me. These guys were my family and I loved them.

When both teams had made their grand entrances onto the field and the national anthem was sung, it was time for the coin toss.

Patrick and another player from the Raiders team came to the middle of the field with a ref. Patrick called heads and the Raiders player called tails, when the coin was flipped the ref turned on his mic.

"It's heads. Chiefs will choose if they wish to defer." The ref called out. We all started cheering and clapping.

The kickoff started and I held on Hanna and Yeri's. Deep down I believed that Patrick was gonna take the team to the Super Bowl. I knew he had great potential, and I believed in him just as he does in me.

The game was insane from start to finish. The Vikings didn't score a single point until the end of the third quarter. Our team caught two interceptions, one ending in a touchdown.

Our season was going pretty well so far, we had only four losses and it was already week thirteen. One of those losses came from Patrick's fill-in quarterback Matt, which was to be expected.

It was crazy to me that it had already been six weeks since Patrick's injury. He recovered rather quickly and was back in the saddle where he belonged.

We had approximately 4 more weeks until the regular season was over, and then the playoff games would commence.

During the last few minutes of the fourth quarter, the Vikings had made it into field goal range and went three and out.

When their kicker came onto the field and kicked the ball for a field goal attempt, it was swatted down by one of the players and landed into another one of the player's hands.

"YESSS!" I yelled jumping up and down.

"GO CHIEFS!" Mike and Harvey shouted.

When the clock had ran out, the score was forty to nine. Today was a crazy awesome day, Patrick had performed his best.
