No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
The world never granted me much. No warm and cozy home to rest my head, no loving parents to cheer at
my games or remember my birthday, and certainly no finer things in life. Just a damn good arm to throw a
football and a hunger inside of me that I hoped would lead me straight to the NFL.
I was twelve years old when the universe finally delivered its first gift. A beautiful angel, though my angel
certainly wore no halo. She dressed in the same tattered clothes that I did, and her eyes were as lost and
broken as mine were.
All it took was one look at her face, and I knew she had been made for me and me alone. From that day
forward, my soul was hooked, taken, a slave to hers. Nothing could come between us. I was headed to
college and then pro ball, and she would be by my side, where she belonged.
Until one day, she disappeared without a word.
The love of my life, my best friend, was suddenly gone, vanished, evaporated into thin air. Almost as if she
were never even here.
Now, over a year later, at Brooks College in Georgia, sheβs back. I want vengeance for her leaving me so
callously. But one look into her stormy-blue eyes, and Iβm enamored yet again.
But sheβs keeping secrets. Pushing me away so that they remain buried in the past. Sheβs forgetting one
thing thoughβwhen it comes to her, Iβll stop at nothing.
She canβt keep me at armβs length forever. After all, she is mine.
