We Come Alive 3

Cover

Wednesday morning was peaceful and still. The sun was peaking from behind the horizon and the birds were beginning to chirp from their nests in the trees.

Then, Jose's alarm clock rang waking him up out of his peaceful dreams. Jose groaned as he reached onto the bedside table and turned off the alarm on his phone. He sat up and rubbed his eyes as he yawned. He checked the time to see it was 6:20 and Colby would be there to take them to practice at 6:45.

Jose got up slowly and went off to take a shower. He took a 15 minute shower before going back into his room and putting on deodorant, put on lotion, and threw on his workout clothes. He went to the mirror in his room that was on his book shelf and ran his fingers through his hair since he knew it was going to get messed up anyway. He went over to his bed and grabbed his phone.

Jose let out a heavy sigh since he was exhausted after walking out his room and downstairs. When he arrived to the kitchen, he saw no one was in there meaning either his dad and older sister were asleep or already left for work.

Jose grabbed an apple out the small basket of fruit his mom would always fill to make the kitchen look nice. He started eating it as he went to his football bag and grabbed the empty reusable water bottles. He opened up the tops, went into the freezer, and put ice into the bottles to keep the water cold. Jose then went into the fridge and grabbed the water jug to refill the bottles. Once both were filled to the rim, he put the tops back on and put them into his bag.

Jose looked inside the bag and made sure he had everything. His practice jersey was freshly washed, his padding was cleaned from the mud that had got on it, his two pairs of cleats were inside with the laces tied together so he didn't lose them, his sleeves, his many pair of socks he had in there, and finally his many pairs of gloves he had. Most were ripped up, broken down, and falling apart but Jose kept them so he didn't ruin his new ones he was going to wear for season.

Right when Jose was going to go grab his second bag from the living room with his extra clothes, extra headphones, extra chargers, and anything extra he needed for the day, he felt his phone vibrating in his pocket from the message from Colby saying that he was here.

Jose quickly ran into the living room, grabbed his bag, and grabbed his duffle bag to run out the kitchen door and to the driveway. When he got to the end of the driveway, he saw Colby waiting in his car to take them to practice.

Jose opened up the back door, threw his bags inside, closed the door and got in the passenger seat. He sat down and leaned towards Colby to greet him with a kiss. Colby looked up from his phone and gave his boyfriend a kiss.

"Wanna get something to eat before we get there?" Colby asked, driving off towards the school .

Jose yawned as he slouched in his seat. "Yeah, I didn't have time to eat."

Colby didn't reply as he instinctively pulled into the nearest fast food driveway and got both of them some food. Jose had already fallen back to sleep so he had some type of energy today at practice.

Colby paid, got their food, and held it in his lap as he drove to their school. He didn't wake up Jose until they pulled into the parking lot where he break checked Jose making him fly forward before the seat belt caught him. Colby chuckled as he pulled into a parking spot.

Jose groaned as he sat up. "You're an asshole."

Colby laughed as he divided up their food and gave Jose his. "Be lucky I bought you food." He smiled. He then looked around before planting a kiss on Jose's cheek.

"Thanks." Jose smirked.

Colby got out the car and grabbed his stuff while leaving Jose's behind. "See you on the field, first rank."
