THE COIN

THE COIN: PART VI

I woke up on my bed. I guess my dad had moved me from the floor last night. The sound of the mans laughter still rang in my ears. I layed there remembering all that had happened.I tried to push it out of my mind but the image of the man hung there, stamped behind my eyelids. I slipped out of my bed and I didn't bother going through my morning routine, I just trudged down stairs and plopped myself down at the table. I grabbed a waiting poptart on the table and slowly nibbled on it.  I look over at the clock and realize that its one o'clock. I go to get out of the chair but trip over my own feet and smack my face on the floor. I groan in pain and push myself up back into a standing position. I walked int the living room where my dad sat watching a football game. I sat down next to him and stared at the screen while not really watching the game. I waited for the commercial before saying anything. "um dad, about last night. Why were you so calm about that?" "What are you talking about?" he said."oh um.... never mind" I quickly scurried up to my room. I tried to figure out what had happened.  I came to the conclusion that I must have imagined it all but in the back of my mind I knew I was lying to myself. I shoved it out of my mind and went ahead and got dressed. I pulled on some basketball shorts and a black sleeveless undershirt.  I picked up my new phone (Pam went out and bought me a new one) and texted Xavier that I was on my way. We were gunna play some basketball today and it started in an hour. I pulled on my favorite ballin shoes and pulled on my San Antonio spurs beanie. I trudged down the stairs and grabbed an orange Gatorade out of the fridge. I yelled goodbye into the house and slammed the door. I jogged over to my car rubbed some dirt off of it. I had gotten it for my birthday last year when I got my license. When I walked out and saw the super awesome Cadillac I almost had a heart attack. I started the engine and started to drive toward the street court. I turned on the radio and it was blasting Fashion Killa by A$AP Rocky. I turned up the base and relaxed as I felt it thump through me.As the song ended I pulled up to the court where Xavier and Jay were already warming up. I switched off the engine and got out of the car. I trotted over to them and started warming up. A few minutes later we were ready to start the game. We did good in the first half and I made four threes and two dunks. At the last few seconds one of the other players passed the ball and I intercepted it, made a fast break, and lay upped over one of the other kids. " AND OOOONE!!!!!" screamed my team. I walked over to my car where my Gatorade was. I opened the door and sat in the seat while chugging the Gatorade. The passenger side door opened and Nick plopped himself down. He closed his door and as the latch clicked into place I felt the cold metal of a gun press to the back of my head, I turned my head to see a gun at the back of Nicks head too. "start the engine and drive west" said the voice. I recognized the voice. It was the voice of the man that knocked out Dom! I did what he said. "Turn left here." We came up on a ware house. I felt the gun leave my head but just as fast felt a sharp pain in the back of my head and then everything went black.
