Silver's Touchdown 13. Silver's POV
Silver kept on looking until Jacob walked away, back to the team bus, and the bus left Newark, obviously heading for New York City.That was his life—seeing his father, but not close enough for the man to see him or touch him. He kept on wondering if his father actually knew that he existed. What if his mother had lied to him? he thought.After they left, work went on as usual, and with time, the crowd dispersed, going back to their places of work or residence.Having a part-time job, playing football, and trying to meet up with his credit load at school was tiring. Some days, like today, he felt exhausted as he had been standing for hours. Maybe it was him stretching his legs or the look on his face that alerted the manager to his side."You can take a break if you are exhausted. Silver, you know you started work a bit earlier. So you can take a rest," the manager told him.Silver sighed. On a normal day, he would turn down the offer. He hated being pitied by people or offered things
Silver's Touchdown 14. Silver's POV
Silver was still standing there, shocked and stunned, looking at them both. If they knew they couldn’t control themselves, they should have used the room."What are you doing here?" , his mother asked.Silver scoffed. Was she seriously asking him that after begging him to come home? So much for being lonely, he thought. She found another man to warm her bed and fill her empty heart, and he was trash.Silver shook his head, turning around and leaving the house. He didn’t know where to go that night, but he knew that he couldn’t stand to be in the same house with his mother after witnessing that.He was half expecting his mother to call him back or run after him, but after walking for a few minutes, he discovered that he was walking alone, and she had let him go. He felt like crying out of his eyes that night.It was late at night for a seventeen-year-old boy to be walking. Without knowing it, he was half way to the shop where he worked part-time. He didn’t know why he had returned to t
Silver's Touchdown 15. Jacob's POV
Jacob was on his way back home when he got the message. He sighed, opening his phone and calling Chase immediately. The man picked up after a few rings."What happened?”, he asked, moving from his seat to the back of the coaster bus so he could hear Chase very clearly considering the noises from his teammates in the van.They had played a game with the New Jersey Titans and had won, though the winning margin was very close. He had not taken a flight since he wanted to bond with his teammates and had decided to ride back with them.Chase, however, had traveled by air for the game and left after the first half so he could attend a meeting in New York. At least he came to see the game despite his busy schedule. When Chase retired from playing ball, it broke him. They have been playing together for years on the same field, so to not see Chase on the field again, running, was a huge blow.They had discussed it months before Chase made the final decision, but it still had not been easy. He
Silver's Touchdown 16. Chase's POV
Chase was not in the mood to hang out with anybody, more or less the full gang and their kids. Right now, what he wanted to do was lie down and sleep and actually receive a body massage. After the day he had, his whole body was aching.From a meeting with the club’s public relations team to a visit to his dad’s residence, and then back to the club for a meeting with the management team, He was still in the meeting when he got the call from Danny’s school summoning him to the principal’s office immediately.By the time he had gotten home, all he had wanted to do was lie with his wife and rest, but rather, Nelly was busy planning for the barbecue hangout that they had with their friends twice in a month, and this time, it was his turn to play host."You know, if you will just mope around rather than help, you might as well just leave the kitchen”, Nelly, his wife, said, glaring at him like he was an eyesore.Good point, he thought, smiling at her. He was always amazed at her dedication
Silver's Touchdown 17. Lennon's POV
Lennon wishes he could stay in bed a little bit longer, at least catch another thirty minutes of sleep. It's not like his family is hosting the hangout party, but the movements going on in the room are too disturbing and distracting, making it difficult for him to remain asleep."Jacob, c'mon, wake him up already; we will be late... Don’t you ever get tired of being late, always," his mother told his father.His father scoffed. Lennon could feel the vibration of his chest because his head was on top of the man’s chest. "Let him sleep a little. If you are in a hurry, just take the car and go; we’ll find our way later." His father said.There was a brief pause in the room, tempting Lennon to open his eyes to see what the hell was happening, but as he was about to do so, his mother sighed, planting a kiss on his hair. When had she gotten so close to him on the bed? He heard another kiss before his mother spoke again."At least, make sure you’re a bit early and don’t bother him about it
Silver's Touchdown 18. Lennon's POV
He was now feeling dizzy after eating half of the ice cream and adjusted the seat in the room so he could sleep properly when he heard the door bang. He frowned, wondering why his parents were back home early; normally, they stayed till past eleven, and it wasn’t yet eight at night on the clock.He waited to hear their voices, but instead heard Liam shouting his name. He groaned. Why was the guy at his house now? Danny’s place was close to his house, so it was not surprising that Liam could come all the way to see him. He called back so Liam would know that he was in the movie room.The door opened a few minutes later, revealing Zara first, followed by Liam, and then Quinton, Sarah, and... nobody. There was no way he could sleep now.The smile on his face disappeared. Danny was not with them.Liam noticed it and chuckled. "He's in the kitchen. He said he wanted mint ice cream,” he told Lennon.Lennon released a sigh. As much as he wanted to be alone, if the guys were joining hi
Silver's Touchdown 19. Silver's POV
Silver woke up that morning feeling hot, like a volcano. Maybe it was because of the blanket covering his frame. He had been so cold last night that he had covered himself with the blanket; now he was hot. Though he highly doubts that it was because of the blanket,One, two, three... he sneezed. Blinking his eyes open as he tried to process what he was feeling that morning.“Damn, I’m sick”, he concluded. That was the only logical explanation for how he was feeling. He touched his forehead with his left hand. Yeah, he was sick.With the way he had walked and stayed under the rain last night, it was certain that he had caught a cold.He tried to climb out of bed to relieve himself when he noticed for the first time that morning that since he woke up, he was not in his room, nor was he in the spare room at the shop; he was somewhere else.He tried to think back, remembering what had happened last night, how his manager had brought him home, and then Anthony. No wonder the bed felt
Silver's Touchdown 20. Silver's POV
Silver blinked; this was shocking. People like this don’t exist in the world. Why were they helping him like he would repay them back? It was strange. He looked at the pack of medicine on the table, looking up when Tony placed the bowl of soup in front of him."Eat," Tony told him, taking the seat opposite him to eat too.Silver looked at the food, then the medicine, and then at Tony. No way were people this good. No, every kindness must be repaid; his mother had taught him that.By the time he woke up on Monday morning, he was feeling more like himself, rejuvenated, and no longer sick. He was still staying at Tony's and had yet to hear from his mother after that night; she had not called or texted him at least to ask how he was doing.He had discovered one thing with the little time spent with Tony and his uncle: they were different from others. They treated him like he was a member of the house, and the man had let him stay with them rather than going back to the spare room at t
