This takes place right after Tim comes back from Mexico and finds out Billy is sleeping with Jackie. He is kicked off the team, Lyla doesn't want anything to do with him, and he doesn't have anywhere to go. Julie just tried to get Matt back and he denied her…
This will be in multiple characters' points of view.
Tim's POV:
A sharp object dug itself into the bottom of his back. He shifted, and reached around for a soft pillow to comfort the current hangover that was latching itself onto his head. His hands were only met with the cold metal. He reached down to the object and realized it was a seatbelt. Tim Riggins was not in his bed, but in his truck, parked at the Dillion High School parking lot.
He opened his eyes and was met with the beating sun. His lips were cracked in the corners and his hair was a sweaty mess. He sat up and stretched. As he opened the car door, several beer cans fell out. It must have been early because no one else was in the parking lot, and it was a Wednesday. He searched behind the driver seat, hoping to find a water bottle or a Gatorade, but only found more empty beer cans. His legs were cramped and sore.
"Practice isn't going to be fun today".Tim shook his head, gave a bitter laugh, and realized what he just said.
Practice? What practice? He didn't belong to the Dillion Panthers anymore. His one outlet was taken away from him, just like everything else in his life. He pushed that thought into the back of his mind, got into his truck, and tried to convince himself that he was glad he didn't have to deal with drills and whistles. He could just drink some beer to take the edge off, and take a much needed nap. He just had to find a bed, first.

Julie's POV:
Julie Taylor looked back at her reflection. Her hair was perfectly straight and her makeup was applied in a gentle, soft way. She had on the necklace that she wore on her first date with Matt. He had nervously complimented her on that necklace. She remembered the way he stuttered as he tried to come up with things to say. She smiled.
How could she have taken him for granted? All she wanted to do was be with him, but for some reason, her resentment towards her parents had forced her to push him away. She immediately unclasped the necklace and set it on her dresser. Matt was the QB1; the star of the high school. He wasn't going to remember a necklace he had once liked on a girl who dumped him. He had other options, and his days were spent hanging out with his teammates and dating rally girls. He no longer struggled to make conversation with the coach's daughter.
She knew she had to get over it and find someone else. She knew that she should be showing Matt that she was perfectly fine with him, and his rejection wasn't hurting her one bit. Maybe her and Lois would find new boyfriends and spend Friday nights attending cool parties and seeing movies, instead of standing in the stands, watching a football game. She could do that. She would do that.
"Baby, we're gonna be late!" came her mom's yell from the hallway.
"OK! I'll be out in a sec."
She looked at her reflection one more time, and grabbed the necklace and re-fastened it.
"This is my favorite necklace too" she convinced her reflection, and walked out the door.
Author's Note: The chapters will obviously get longer as the story progresses. I just kind of wanted to get a feel for what feedback will be like before I actually continue! I know there's not much to review, but try if you can Hooooookay bye!
