Hey, Ladies. The weekly update is here. I hope you will like it. It still doesn't show entirely where I am heading with this but the next chapter will clear things. Thanks for the reviews, alerts/faves. Enjoy :)
ONE OF THESE DAYS
PART 4-ERIC
I sit at the emergency room, waiting for somebody to tell me how is my daughter. The worst nightmare of a parent came alive when the sheriff called me that Julie and Tim got in a car accident.
It was one helluva day. It all started with my wife announcing my pure and innocent teenage daughter was in love with Tim Riggins. I have to admit my first reaction was that I would go and kill the boy if he laid a single finger on her but of course, Tami didn't appreciate it. So I decided to keep an eye on those two.
Honestly, I didn't see anything until my wife didn't drop the bomb. But after it… I saw them sitting together at the cafeteria what brought up a few questions: Why wasn't Riggins sitting with his teammates? Why did he choose to listen Julie's annoying friend? Why did he sit that close to my daughter? What were they laughing about?
And if that hasn't been enough, I realized how strange it was that my daughter started to come to the practices. She never came, not even when she dated Saracen. I didn't think about it too much before because it seemed practical that she waited there until Tim or me could take her home but I started to be suspicious.
I got very angry about the thought that Riggins went behind my back with my daughter. Actually, I got so angry that I made him work way harder than the others, not to mention the plus laps he had to run. My intention was to make Tim so tired that he wouldn't have any strength left for Julie and whatever they did together.
I wanted to take Julie home, but that girl is stubborn as a mule, she just walked off on me, saying she would go with Riggins because she also wanted to go to buy some cd before they headed home.
They were running late, very late. I planned I would tell them how I didn't tolerate them being out late and that they couldn't come and go together anymore. I was even happy they gave me a reason to seperate them. Then came the call and I was driving through the town with my wife and baby girl like somebody who lost his mind.
The doctor said it seemed to be nothing serious for Julie. Probably no more than a light concussion. However, they still have to run some tests, just to be sure. Riggins on the other hand… The boy broke his arm, and he made it worse when he carried Julie away from the truck.
Right now, I only want to know that my daughter will be fine for sure. After it they can explain to me how exactly they ended up in a car crash on their way back to the town from God knows where.
