October 2017

It been a bout a week since Kennedy and Odell's parent left and they'd gotten back to their normal routines. As normal as they were gonna get anyway. Kennedy was still talking to Keith, only she'd gotten back on track with Christian. Christian had broken off the engagement and after a day the in the media it finally died off.

Currently the Giants were playing. It was fourth quarter and the Giants were up by two with only four minutes left. The Giants had possession and were at third and seventh. Watching from the Medical Cart with Traci and Keith, Kennedy watch anxiously as the ball was about to be snapped. Watching as Eli called the play, her eyes followed Odell as he went up to catch the ball. Coming down at the same time at the same time as the person defending him, Kennedy watched as Odell's ankle broke. Feeing her heart drop to her stomach, Kennedy ran towards the locker room where she knew that's where her brother would go first.

Making her way to where they had Odell laid, she made her way by his side grabbing his hand and kissing his forehead. Listening as they examined him, she took mental notes so that when her dad asked for all the details.

"We gotta get him to the hospital, he's gotta have surgery." One of the men spoke.

Squeezing his hand, he looked up at me and I mouthed I'd see him at the hospital. Quickly I exited the room and made my way out of the stadium and made my way to the car. When I got there Keith was waiting for me.

"Hey what's going on?" He asked.

Not paying him any attention she hopped in the car and started the engine. Making her way through the traffic, she made it to the hospital. Finding a parking spot, Kennedy jumped out with Keith on her tail. Pushing through the doors, she made my way to the nurses desk. Pulling her license out of my purse, she tried to grab her attention but it clearly wasn't working.

"Listen lady, I'm here to see my brother and if you don't give me tha room number fa my brotha room I'll bat you in ya trachea." Kennedy slid my license her way.

Typing quickly on her computer, she slid Kennedy a visitor pass and her license back. "The room is down the hall and on the right." She instructed.

Taking off down the hall, Kennedy opened the door to her brother in tears still. Taking a deep breath in she walked to her brother's side.

"O man." She sighed.

"They say I gotta have surgery. They just brought me back from a x-ray." He sighed too.

"Okay and you gonna have the surgery, do the pt and be back next year like nothing happen." She told him.

'What if-"

"Ain't no what if's. Minor set back for a major comeback. Now you get some rest, I gotta go call the mama and daddy. What time they talking about doing the surgery?" She asked before leaving.

"As soon as the on call doctor is ready." He responded as she shook her head.

Stepping out the room, she say Keith waiting her. Nodding her head she went back to out to the car to make her necessary phone call. Letting her dad know what was going on she went ahead and booked a flight for the them. She also rearranged a car to pick them up at the airport.
