It had been six months and I had started looking at collages and applying for football related scolarships. I was looking over a pamphlet for Springfield University when I heard Joey cry. He had been taking a nap and now wanted to get out of the crib to my surprise he was standing up holding onto the rails.
"Oh my god Jojo you're standin up" I said with pride
"Ma come here you have to see this" I yelled to my mother who was downstairs in the kitchen.
"John was is so important... Joey is standing up" she beamed as she went and picked him up.
"He is only 8 months old that has to be a record" I said
"I'm so proud of you little man" mom said to him in a baby voice.
I never talked to Joey in a baby voice I always felt it insulted his intelligence not to mention that Mr. Hardcore Street thug would never stoop that low in the humiliation factor.
"John there is a phone call for you" my brother Mike yelled up to me.
"Hello I said picking up the phone
"Hi Mr Cena this is Brett Thomas from Springfield University" he said
"Hi" I replied
"This is hard for me to say but we are sorry but we don't feel that we can give you a scolarship" he said
"Why?" I asked
"Well don't take this the wrong way but we don't think that the fact you have a son makes you the right choice" he replied
"So basically what you are saying is the fact that I get straight A's and that I'm a damn good football is just shit because I have a son" I snapped
"I'm sorry but yes that is what we are saying"
"Well you know what you can go fuck yourselves" I yelled as I slammed the phone down.
"Johnathan Felix Anthony Cena you'd better have a really good reason for using that kind of language" mom scolded
"I'm going out" I informed her as I left the room
I walked for a while and I ended up at Mackenzie's house accidently. I figured I could talk to her. I knocked on the door she answered and I told her what happened.
"That's terrible" she said
"Yeah tell me about it" I replied
"We have to do something" she said
"Mac it's ain't worth it I'm not going to go to collage" I said
"So this is how you are going to be all full of self pity?" she asked coldly
"What do you know about it?" I asked
"Because I know you" she said
"Then leave it alone" I told her
She came to sit next to me she place her hand on my cheek.
"You deserve that scholarship" she said
I was about to protest when she leaned over and kissed me and to my suprise I kissed her back. The kiss deepened instinctivly I pushed her back on the couch. But then I realized what I was doing, I pulled away.
"No we can't do this" I said
"Why not?" she asked
"Because it isn't right I have Joey" I said.
She seemed to accept that and we sat there in silence.
"I should leave" I said
"You don't have to" she said
"I know but I really should be going" I told her
She walked me to the door. To say I was confused was an understatement.
A/N I've decided to make the time jump happen in 2 chapters from now I just wanted to give ya'll a heads up.
