Football is all I think of. I don't really tune into my family unless my nephews Elliot, Albert, Mikey, and Luke talk about it. Henry doesn't talk about it not that I see him or my sister Lexie, and niece Mary. Since Lexie moved away I really haven't stayed in contact. The only sister besides Beth that I can connect with is Ellis. I really don't know much about Zola because she is 18 years older than me and was partially grown when I was born. She didn't move out till she got married and had twin daughters. Bailey moved out after he graduated from college, but he left the house with Annabelle and Mikey. Hannah well she's off in her own little world so who knows what goes on with her. My younger older brother Luke is now a single father living in what is now a completely empty house besides Beth, Mom, Dad, and myself.
Even though I'm never around because I'm playing football I still find time to be with my family. Beth however I don't know how she can even keep Mark Davis a secret or that she has been having secret sexual relationships. I wonder how long before she ends up pregnant. Bad enough that my sister Ellis just had a beautiful baby boy she named Stewie but I just don't understand how on earth did she go 9 months without knowing. It's impossible to not know that your pregnant I've seen my sisters pregnant but never the way Ellis had Stewie. When I graduate from High School I am planning on going to College to be a professional Football player for the Seattle Seahawks. I know that Nora isn't going to wait for me.
"Tyler what time is your game?" Beth asked. "3:00 today why do you ask Beth because you never want to come to my games." I said. "Oh please Tyler I am going just to get out of babysitting for Ellis I don't want to change Stewie's diapers or feed him I am not ready for a child, it's like everyone is trying to tell me that what I do with Mark Davis will end up with this." Beth said. "Really Beth that's the message your going to watch football in order to avoid caring for a baby." I told her. "Okay fine I will take care of Stewie, Sally, Gail, Leia, and Luke till your game because Ellis is going to the game with mom and dad." Beth told me.
It was the start of a good game I had almost got a touchdown when someone pushed me down and I popped my ACL and got a concussion. I ended up in the hospital. The person on the Neuro staff at the time was my Aunt she raced against the time to ensure that I was going to be safe. I couldn't remember where my parents were, or my sisters, brothers, and nieces, and nephews. I was unaware of what was going on because the pain in my knee was horrible the only thing that made it feel better was meds. I needed surgery but I couldn't until I was stable. My mother tried to warn me when I started Football what has for injuries. My parents aren't really thrilled about my choices. With this injury I have now lost what my future was going to be. Why must I put all my eggs in one basket now I have to settle for my second dream which is to be a construction worker. I lost my one true dream but being a construction workers will help my love with Nora because I will wait for her.
As we were talking about futures Elizabeth found out that she was living her fear about being a parent. Mark was with her when she found out and he proposed to her. My parents were furious with Beth especially when they didn't get why Beth hid Mark from them or even her having relations with him. I knew it was coming I knew it when she started eating more than usually, and now she has to live with the fact that she is going to be a parent. Zola and Bailey weren't happy at all about the situation because they knew what it meant to lose the dreams of what they wanted to do when they were older because children got in the way but they did make it to be a nurse, and medical technologist that fixes all the medical equipment around the country. My life was good but I was excited to have a nephew or a niece but I'm hoping for a nephew.
A/N: sorry for such a short chapter but I wanted to introduce Tyler's point of view as we have yet to see his point of view on what life is like. But also Elizabeth is going to have some drama coming up with her issues going on.
