We Come Alive 3

Unbiological sisters

Saturday morning Andrew was doing his usual morning workout in the physical therapy center. They were in a open room that was thirty yards long for Andrew to run around and do his workouts. Three walls were solid black paint while the fourth that connected to the rest of the facility was glass windows with a glass see through door. Seth, his physical therapist, was standing off to the side telling Andrew what workout he was to do.

They started with Andrew doing fast feet, than forward skips across the room until Seth told him to do it backwards. Andrew was forced to do side skips which lead into 3 step diagonals.

Seth helped Andrew stretch out before they went into the more intense exercises. Andrew was doing box jumps while Seth stood behind him in case he fell, but at this point he wasn't concerned about that.

"Five months." Seth chuckled. "I've been hanging out with you everyday, sometimes two times a day, for five months now."

"Five months today." Andrew laughed. He stood on the box and looked down at Seth. "You gonna miss me?"

Seth crossed his arms and smirked. "No, actually I never want to see you again unless you're on tv for winning championships or having the comeback of a lifetime."

Andrew jumped down off the box and looked Seth in the eyes. "You're just mad I'm better than you."

"Shut up before I make you run a mile." Seth snickered. Andrew smiled as he turned around and kept hopping onto the box before stepping down. Seth gave him some light weights to use while he did his workouts.

At the end of his workout, Andrew was gathering his things from the main physical therapy room before heading out to the lobby where he saw the receptionist smile to him.

"Hey, Andrew! How are you today? How's the knee?" She asked, smiling brightly.

Andrew leaned his hip against her desk and smiled. "It's good. Just waiting for a college to take me as a walk on. My old coach is still trying to work out the kinks for me."

"Well I'm hoping for the best for you." She assured him. "Promise me you'll bring me a souvenir from the super bowl?"

Andrew chuckled as he looked out the front windows and saw his cousin Adam's car pulling up. "Yes, ma'am. I'll make sure I'll bring you a signed jersey. Just promise me you won't sell it on eBay."

"Wouldn't think of it. Have a nice day, Andrew."

"You too." Andrew replied, standing up straight and walking off outside to meet his cousin in the car. Andrew slid into the passenger's seat and closed his door before Adam drove off.

The two Asian boys drove a few blocks before a word was spoken between the two of them.

"How was work?" Andrew asked, looking at Adam who was clearly fresh from the fields since he was covered in dirt and had dried sweat all over his body. "I can smell the dirt and mud on you."

Adam chuckled as he rolled his eyes. "Well not everyone can be working out in one of the most expensive physical facilities around Dallas. Only reason you go there is because the combine paid for it since you got injured on their field. You damn near broke your leg in half on that dangerous field. I had to listen to it on the radio since I was working my ass off so you could have a bright future and not end up in the same bullshit rut we all live in."
