Brotherhood

Accident

Blake's POV

Chadwell Heights won the game. I hated not being in the game. But that freshmen pulled it together in the 2nd half. What was his name again? Evan? Andrew? Adam? I don't know, and quite frankly, I don't really care. Antonio had a hell of a game. I would never say that to him. But man did it take balls to fake that spike and go for it with the clock winding down. It was viva la Dan Marino. Dan Marino is in the NFL Hall of Fame. Marino did that play in his career. I remember the date he did the fake spike. It was November 27, 1994. I wasn't born then. But that is one of the most memorable plays in NFL history. He fakes a spike, and throws to his receiver who catches the ball for a touchdown. Marino led the Miami Dolphins to a 28-24 victory over the Philadelphia Eagles with that throw. Antonio and I got in my car. We were going to " the pizza palace" to celebrate.

"Helluva game you played fam" I compliment Antonio as he got in the car. He placed his gear in the back of the car "thanks, bro. Couldn't have done it without the rest of the team though." I rolled my eyes "cut the bullshit with me, Antonio. You ain't talking to the media. You had a helluva game, and you know it." He grinned "ya ya, I know bro. I'm too nice!"

We arrived at "the pizza palace". I smell of pizza immediately hit my nose. Well no duh of course it did. It's a pizza restaurant. Stupid Blake! Antonio came over "yo bro, the team is in the last 4 booths, Ight?" I went over to where the team was. I sat next to the freshmen replacement, and Antonio. I congratulated the freshie. But that was most likely a bad move on my part because this kid is so cocky now. Like god damn! But he is a good player. I see glimpses of a young me in him.

Antonio's POV

I wasn't feeling this after game party. Don't get me wrong, I'm really happy we won, but my head hurts like shit. I wanna go home. Wait, what the hell is stopping me. Ima go home right now. I looked at Blake who was drinking his 5th beer already. This kid doesn't know when to stop "yo Blake, let's go home, I'm tired and I'm not feeling too well." He looked at me "Ight fam. But your driving. I don't wanna get a DUI. And I ain't finna tryna go to jail for killing someone in a drunk driving accident." I rolled my eyes, this idiot "fine I'll drive, give me the car keys." He tossed me the keys, "Ight let's go."

I'm driving and my head is spinning. It's hurting like hell. I don't know why. I didn't even drink. I don't even drink. Ugh, this is killing me "yo Blake how about you take the wheel, my head hurts." He looked at me "you crazy bro. I have alcohol in my system." I looked at him "man whatever man your an assh----" Blake yelled "WATCH OUT"

Blake's POV

I saw a truck coming towards us "WATCH OUT!" Smash!  Ouch, that hurt. I didn't know airbags hurt that much. Oh no, he fucking didn't. Antonio didn't just crash my car. He crashed my baby girl. This asshole. Ima kill him.

I turn over towards him "what the fu--" I saw Antonio laying his head on the side of the window. He was strapped in with a seatbelt. But he looked horrible.

Someone came towards us "hey are you kids ok?! I called the ambulance, it should be on its way."

I got out the car and went over to Antonio. I took him out the car and laid him on the ground. I felt his pulse, it was weak, but it was there. I shook his shoulder "wake up bro. You're ok, wake up. " The ambulance came the medic came over and asked, "what happened here?!" I told them, what happened. He felt Antonio's pulse "it's really weak, we need to get him to a hospital right now! Jeremy get the stretcher!" The other medic got the stretcher and they put Antonio on it. They strapped him on and took him in the ambulance. I went to the back of the ambulance.

When we got to the hospital doctors were waiting. The medic said "Antonio King, got in a car accident on his way back from a post-game celebration. No alcohol in his system. But he had a weak pulse, but it's better now. He's still knocked out." The Doctor hooded when the medic was saying the things " ok so well get him in for a head CT scan".

The put him in a machine where they saw his brain. The doctor looked shocked "what the hell?! We have to get him in for surgery right now!! Kevin call Dr. Karb, right now!" I was worried what the fuck is the doctor talking about. What surgery?! The alarm on that room was beeping. Antonio was going crazy in his hospital bed. He was having a seizure. I went to a doctor "doc what the fuck is going on." The doctor put a pillow between Antonio's legs and turned him to the side. I asked the doctor again " What the fuck is going on doc?!" The doctor turned around "get out of this room! Wait in the waiting room. Your brother is having a seizure, his brain is bleeding from the accident. We have to give him surgery to stop the bleeding." I went outside to the waiting room. I sat in a chair pulled out my phone and called mom, and dad. Dad answered, "Hey Blake, what's up." My voice cracked "dad it's Antonio, he's in the hospital. He was driving mad he got into an accident. He's going into surgery right now."
