The Winning Pass

Chapter 8

KNOX POV:
I sprint to my truck my mind racing with all the possibilities. I turn on my truck and zoom off into the the street my hands fidgeting with my phone to call my brothers. The phone rings for a bit then I hear a feminine voice come from the other end.
"Hello?" She asked.
"Can you please put Nick and Ben on the phone please," I say panicked.I hear rustling and then I hear a voice.
"Hey Knox, what's wrong bro?" It was Nick.
"You need to come home ASAP!" I rushed.
"Why what happened?"
"It's Dad..." I whispered. I heard Nick yell at Ben to pack a bag.
"We are on our way, we'll be there I the morning," I stayed silent."and Knox ?"
"Yes?"
"Dad's gonna be fine,"
"I hope so.." And I hung up. I realized I was I the hospital parking lot. I sloppily parked and sprinted into the building to the from desk.
"Where is Parker Christian?" I rushed.
"Sir, we are not allowed to give th-" I cut her off.
"WHERE IS MY GOD DAMN FATHER?" I yelled. The old lady cowered back.
"Sorry sir, room 210, down the hall, take a left, second door on the right." I took off down the hall chanting to myself.
"Room 210...Room 210...Room 210" Nothing could've prepare me for the sight I saw when I approached my fathers room. The man in the bed wasn't my father. The man looked to fragile, my father was strong and tough. The man had tubes helping him breath. But sadly the reality was, this was my father. I sat in a chair that was pulled up to his bedside and clutched his hand. And for the first time since my mother left ... I cried.
El's POV
Tonight was fun. My dad and I were on our way home from the field. It was nice hanging with Knox. it was nice being able to play without worrying about being a girl. The look and his eyes when he saw me catch the passes where of adoration. I feel a blush creep to my face as I though of him.
"He really has you smitten doesn't he?"
"W-What?" I stammered. I'm on,Tebow get it together girl!
"Knox, you like him and by the way he was looking at you you've got him smitten too,"
"Dad.." I groaned hitting my head against the at window.
"What? Just making sure that if he hurts my little girl I'll use my shotgun." As we pulled up to the gate,dad typed in the code and we pulled into the garage. When I walked through the door I dropped my bag and started to walk upstairs.
"Dad,I'm going to take a shower and then watch ESPN" I yell. I walk into my bathroom while stripping my gym clothes off. I step into the steaming hot spray of my shower. It feels just right on my back and sore muscles. When I get out my wear my black lace bra and panties, black Nike pros, plain white loose-long sleeve t-shirt, and my nike black socks. First I head to the kitchen to make me a sandwich. Then, I walked into the living room and got comfortable. When I flip on the TV it's already on ESPN, they're talking about preseason stats. When all of a sudden bold letters come across the screen. I'm frozen in shock for a second then yell for my dad.
"What is it?" He screams rushing down the stairs with a baseball bat in hand, dressed in just his t-shirt and boxers. I want to laugh but I can't. I point to the screen.
"Breaking News: Parker Christian has been emitted to Lakeview hospital this evening after being in a car accident."
Dad runs back up the stairs and comes back down in sweats and a hoodie, to cover his face, his car keys in hand.
"Ready to go?" He asks. I slip on my black high top converse.
"Let's go," he says. The ride to the hospital was agonizing. So many questions running through my head. Was Knox okay? Was his dad okay? I didn't know. So I closed my eyes for the first time in a while and prayed.
