3 weeks later...
It has only been two days since I've got my casts off and I was ready to go, run and win a marathon. Grayson and I were in our room, talking about how our life would be like if we had never met and if he was never bullied.
"So, Grayson if we never met what do you think you'd be doing right now?"
"Sitting around, maybe go to the park and hang with some of my other friends."
"Why don't you do that now?"
"To be honest I have no idea why."
"Well, why don't you go do it? You don't have to spend everyday of every month with me and your brother go hang with your school friends. I'm sure that they miss you a lot."
"I'm sure they do. Maybe I do hang with you way too much."
"You think?"
"I don't think. I know."
"Then get off of your derriere, call up your companions, and go have a boisterous time."
"Ok, Ok, sheesh."
"I don't mean to be so pushy. I'm just..."
"I know what you mean Daniel." Grayson smiled. "I'll see you later alligator."
"In awhile crocodile."
"See you soon baboon."
Grayson then walked out of the room and called all of his friends and told them to meet him at the park that was close to his house.
Once Grayson had left the house I headed to Chandler's room, it was almost like he was expecting me because he opened up his door and told me to hurry up.
"Eager to lose Chandler?"
"No, I'm eager to win!"
"Well, I wish you the best of luck."
"Right back at you."
The moment I walked into his room he already had madden up and running he had already preselected the teams he made me the Atlanta Falcons but he went with the Dallas Cowboys.

1 hour later...
It was an extremely close game but in the end I had won by two points. My heart is still racing, but Chandler demanded a rematch and I accepted.
The score was 48-46.
After another hour of playing Chandler had lost again but he challenged me to one more game.
This time the score was 38-36
"Third time's the charm."
Finally after three hours of playing I had finally suffered a lose. The score was 47-52.
"Hahaha, finally. Vict'ry! I'm the first one to beat you. Say goodbye to your winning streak and say hello to your losing streak. In your face. Haha."
Chandler got up and started doing his vict'ry dance.
I just got up, left Chandler's room and left the house. I just sat on the front steps and I was pretty pissed.
"WHAT A FUCKING SHOW OFF, DID HE REALLY HAVE TO RUB THE FACT THAT I LOST IN MY FACE!!!? WHAT A FUCKING BASTARD!!! FOR THE REST OF THE DAY I'M JUST GOING TO IGNORE ANYTHING HE HAS TO SAY TO ME!!!"

30 minutes later...
Chandler had come outside and when he saw me he immediately apologized, but I didn't respond.
"Daniel, I'm sorry for gloating and it was wrong of me to do so. I just got carried away. I'll never do it again."
You think? I thought we were friends, friends don't rub their vict'ry in other's faces. Only a total jerk would do that, Chandler. My only question is why, why did you have to do that? What got into you?
"Hey Daniel, can you hear me? I said that I was sorry. I didn't mean to gloat that much and I wish I never did. Please answer me and I just hope that you'll forgive me."
Forgive you? That's not going to happen...at least not now. Maybe tomorrow if you're lucky enough.
I got up from the stairs, went back into the house, and back up to my room. Once inside I closed my bedroom door and locked it. I walked over to the tv and grabbed the remote and a ps4 controller and both of them were to the left of the tv. I then went to go lie down on Grayson's bed. I turned on the tv and the ps4. It only took five seconds for the ps4 to fully load up and then went into the NETFLIX app. When it loaded I went onto my profile and started watching "Once Upon a Time".

Grayson POV
"Ah, man. That was hilarious Mike. Who told you that joke?" I asked.
"My friend Carter. He's a pretty funny guy." Mike declared.
"Funnier than my friend Daniel?" I wondered.
"Daniel? Who's Daniel?" Mike questioned.
"Well, he's my newest brother. You see he doesn't really have any family left, well blood related. His mom died from a heart attack and his dad committed suicide while he was in prison and his aunt, uncle and cousins have moved and his grandparents died from old age. He had two children and a girlfriend but they died as well. He lost so much, I'm not sure what would happen if he lost the rest of his family. He would probably take his life, he almost took it a few times, but this time he might actually do it, even if me and my brother try to talk him out of it. I honestly feel bad for him. I wish I could help him out some more. Sometimes he doesn't sleep at night, he just sits up on his bed and talks about everyone and everything he has lost. Sometimes he doesn't come out of our room until supper but sometimes he doesn't come out at all. I even started praying for him. I just hope he's alright."
"I'm sure he's fine Grayson, he's probably chilling on his bed, watching his shows on NETFLIX." Calvin stated.
"Yeah, probably."
Mike had medium long brown hair and he also had hazel eyes. He was wearing a red plaid button up shirt and dark blue jeans.
Calvin had short black hair and green eyes. He was wearing number 11's jersey from the Atlanta Falcons and he also was wearing dark blue jeans.
"So, Grayson. What else can you tell us about you friend Daniel?" Austin asked.
"He's never lost at madden and he even uses his favorite team, the Atlanta Falcons. He's also in The Walking Dead and he's actually a pretty down to earth guy, just like my brother."
Austin had pale white skin, red hair and brown eyes. He was wearing a white muscle t-shirt and light blue jeans.
"So Grayson, what do you think of Daniel?" Austin wondered.
"He's a pretty funny guy, he's fun to be around and he always knows how to lighten up the mood." Grayson declared.
"Do you like him?" Mike queried.
"Well, I-I wouldn't say that I "like" him I would say that I just think of him as more of a friend that's all. I don't have a crush on him or anything I'm just...experimenting."
"That's what they all say and then they have full blown sex and get hitched."
"Austin!"
"I'm just saying that you never know, it could happen."
"I know. So who's up for a game of grounders?"
"Grounders? Are you serious? That game is for little kids. We should play a game that's more manly. How about we play tackle football?"
"Sure." Grayson said.
"A wise decision. Now let's make the teams. Grayson, you'll be paired with Austin and Calvin. I myself will be paired with Jake and David who just arrived."
"Good luck, you guys will need it."
"Right back at you, Grayson. But let's remember to have fun."
"Yeah, we can't forget that now can we?"
"No Sir Ree Bob."
