Brennen has the ball in his hand. He passes it to his teammate, Rome, and moves closer to the basket from the 3-point line. Rome dribbles Wolf. He passes the ball back to Brennen and Brennen move towards the basket for a layup. Wolf moves towards the basket to block Brennen and ends up colliding into him. He falls holding onto his knee. Brennen's friends all rally around him. They help him up and they take him to the emergency room. The doctor walks in with his x-ray results.}

D: There's no need to worry Mr. Miller it's just a sprain.

B: I think there might be one more injury you might need to look at.

D: Really where?

B: My friend Wolf who rammed into me. He's about to have a concussion.

{Doctor laughs.}

D: Funny. I'll prescribe you some medication to help with the pain but it might make you feel drowsy and/or loopy.

B: Alright no problem. Thanks Doc.

....

{That night, Brennen and his friends go out to a club. After a couple hours, the medication starts to kick in and he starts to feel loopy. Everything in his sight becomes blurry; he can't see anyone's face clearly. A girl comes up to him and then they start dancing, grinding on each other.}

A: Let's take this somewhere else.

{Brennen agrees. They walk out of the club and his car pulls up. Brennen opens the door for the girl. She kisses him and pulls him inside. The driver takes them to Brennen's house. The next morning, Brennen wakes up and sees his friend Angela, standing by his bed, wearing his shirt and staring at her phone.}

B: Hey.

A: Hey.

{She smiles. She sits on the bed and leans in towards him.}

B: Did we really happen last night?

A: Yeah I guess so.

B: You don't know how many times I've thought of this.

A: I doubt it's more than I have.

{Brennen smiles at her.}

B: I really want you to know how much I cherish you.

A: Really tell me about it. Tell me you love me.

B: I love you. Always have and always will.

{She kisses him.}

B: But I do have something to tell you.

A: Oh here we go.

B: Don't jump to conclusions it's nothing horrible. It's just that last night is a little bit fuzzy for me.

A: What do you mean?
