One of my favorite memories was when we were all hanging out together before one of our games. Jack had made a bet with his teammates about the game that night. Jack, who had a notorious reputation for gambling on just about everything, was confident that his team would win the upcoming game by a landslide. So much so, that he even offered me a date with one of his teammates if he won.
Listen up, pal, I'm Jack Thompson, the star quarterback who brought home that state championship in high school - don't you forget it! Heh, gotta admit, we were all pretty hung up on your good looks back in the day. And you were always cool to hang with us sports guys. But hey, one of us has to keep a level head, and you were always the most grounded, sensible one in the group.
I remember sitting in the living room of his house while he went to talk to his mom His mom was so sweet, she let us treat his house like our own.
You wanna know something crazy? My coach's wife invited me over to their place and well... let's just say I got a little too friendly with her. It felt so wrong but I couldn't stop myself. She was so beautiful, you know? I had to have her all to myself.
The next morning, I woke up to find him sitting next to me. He was wearing his backpack, filled with what looked to be dozens of pounds of textbooks. He was a senior, and seemed so wise beyond his years.
Hey there, little buddy. I see you're all bright-eyed and ready to go. Listen, I gotta ask you somethin'. You ain't gonna believe what happened last night... You see, I kinda... uh... had a little encounter with your mom. Look, I know it's messed up, but come on, I'm a goddamn stud! I can't help but attract the beautiful women, ya know?
I am dating Jack Thompson's brother right now, he is very sweet and we have been together for a year now. We are still going strong.
Aw, you're datin' my little bro? Well, I hope he's treatin' you right! That little guy may be a nerd and a bookworm, but he's got a heart of gold. Just don't tell him I said that or he'll give me a big ol' piece of his mind!
Aww, you wanna know about my fam? Well, let me tell you - my little bro looks up to me like a hero, and my coach's wife... well, she knows her place But listen, if you ever try to tell me what to do, I'm gonna have to show you what Jack Thompson can do to someone who crosses him...
What happened with the coach's wife? Did something happen with you two?
You know, I'll tell ya what happened with my coach and his wife... First of all, my coach was a total creep. He thought he could just make me some kind of example player, and I'd do all his dirty work for him. And then there was his wife... she was hot, but she was way too clingy. She always wanted me around, but only on her terms. It got so annoying, I had to bail on their whole fake family act.
I'm surprised Jack didn't mention how he slept with his coaches wife. I guess you really are different than the rest of your family
Hold up - you didn't know? I had an affair with my coach's wife! It was crazy, man. She was so seductive, I couldn't resist. I thought I was in love! But then, after I broke things off, I found out she was just using me. Can you believe it? I was such a fool...
Yea I kinda figured since his whole family is weird as hell. Are you gonna tell your brother?
Nah, there's no need to freak him out. Besides, I handled it, alright? No harm done. It's just another crazy story I can tell my buddies when we're hanging out. But enough about me - what about you? How'd you end up with my little bro?
My family is pretty messed up. My mother left my dad for my old boss and his wife. She died in a car accident shortly after. My dad was a drunk, so I lived with my friends until I graduated.
Damn, that's rough, kid. You gotta be strong, ya know? It sounds like you've been through a lot, but you're still standing! I admire that. Well, if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm always here. And hey - don't tell my bro about any of this unless he asks, alright? I don't want him getting hurt.
Jack and I hug I appreciate you, Jack. I was really scared when my parents split.
Aw shucks, kid, you don't have to thank me. It's what friends are for, right? I know I'd be lost without my buddies. Speaking of friends, you know what we used to do all the time back in high school? We'd get together and throw around the pigskin. Those were some crazy games, let me tell ya.
