Be Real With Me [ COMPLETED ]

Heart 16

Tyler

Today was that day. This day was going to either get me to where I wanted to be or make me strive harder. Football was more than just a game I played and it wasn't life. Football is my lifestyle. Someone once told me, Never do something you're good at for free. I took that damn quote and ran with it.

This morning as I laid in the hotel's bed I was watching clips from yesterday and the day before. I am beyond proud of myself but I won't stop here I will continue to push. During this whole Draft process my social networks have been blowing up with notifications and I dare not to open twitter, instagram nor Facebook. I'll see what people talking about later.

It was going on nine and Mr. Goodell wanted us in one of the hotel's ball room. For what reason? I do not know.

Once I was out the shower, I threw on my Adidas pants, Nike tee and then my KD's.I exited my room heading down to the elevator. As my fingers touched the button to go onto the first floor, I pulled out my phone calling Diamond.

"Hello?" She spoke. Somebody just woke up.

"Good morning baby" I replied.

"Mm.." She groaned. "What you doing?"

"About to have a meeting with the commissioner..."

"Sounds exciting."

"You ate yet?"

"Nah, I haven't even brushed my teeth. I just woke up"

"Ewww..." I chuckled. "You got that Dragon breath, I think you needa gone head and take care of that. I'll be here"

"Shut up" She replied, I could tell she was smiling.

"I'll call you after the meeting baby, go wash ya ass while you at it.. love you babe"

"Mhm, You too" She ended the call and I began walking down the long ass hallway aways from the hallway.

"Ty what's up dude?" I turned around seeing one of my dudes, Aaron. He was from Texas A&M and had a hell of a throw.

We did a mainly shake. "What's good fam?"

"Not shit"

"Aye, if anything you better be in the first twenty pick fam you good"

"You too! Shit, the first ten" I replied and we shared a chuckle. We finally made it in the Ball Room and there were niggas everywhere. To keep "fans" out I guess, the area was guarded. There was a buffet line filled with breakfast and music playing. I walked in and took a seat. There were a few men on the stage and after a couple of minutes the only one that was left on stage was Mr.Goodell.

"Good Morning future NFL players" He said and everyone began to clap, some whistled.

"Alright settle down"

"This morning I just wanted to come to you guys to one, congratulate you for coming this far, because football is a very competing sport, two for you to look around and memorize the faces that are around you"

Everyone began to look around, including me.

"Some of you are going to the NFL, some are no. Honestly. Based off you performance the two previous days we shall see. Lastly if you don't make it do not give up. I repeat do not give. Simply. Go harder, I'm done for now. See you guys tonight"

Diamond

"You guys are soooo agggy!" I snapped towards Leah and Lang. They been booed up the whole ride here.

"What Diamond... I haven't seen him in a very longggg time so take your pissy ass attitude somewhere else"

When were now just checking in the hotel. We had to get a total of five rooms. Which would have been expensive as hell but since Nathan is former Army the price was lowered.
