Chapter 2:
Tim has just went to practice and gotten thrown off the field by Coach Taylor for being MIA for two weeks. He is already down and upset and having the worst day. He pulled into his yard and walked through the front door he was standing in the kitchen with his beer in one hand, all he could think about was getting wasted right now. Until he heard his brother coming through the door with Jackie. He turned around and looked at them as they looked all happy. Tim sat at the counter on stool. They turned all their attention to Tim and said "Hey Tim" He looked at them and said quickly "oh don't mind me just continue on" Jackie put the bag down and looked at Billy saying "I'm gonna just go" Tim looking at her saying "well maybe you should Jackie." Billy looked at Tim and said quickly "No, no you stay! What the hell are you doing home Tim shouldn't you be at practice." Tim took a sip of his beer and said "I got kicked off the team." Billy slammed the fridge and responded "Damnit Tim. What in the hell." Jackie then cuts in rubbing Billy's arm and back saying "baby calm down I'm sure if you talk to the coach." Tim jumps in saying "you know what Jackie last time I checked you lived next door and not here" Billy angry yells at Tim "you be respectful Tim, While your ass was off in Mexico she was helping me out round here" Tim got up and walking away "mumbles "helping you out how with daily blow jobs." He walks into his room and grabs his bag and starts packing, he comes out with his bag full and Billy and Jack both look at him saying "Tim, come on." He looks back at them saying "if you wanna play happy family go right ahead but do without me because this whole situation is just messed up." He gets in his truck and drives off. As he is driving off he is trying to think of somewhere to go. The only place he could possibly think of is one. He arrives at Tyra's doorstep who doesn't really look too happy to see him. She tells him immediately that you have 48 hours and that's all she can give him which he automatically takes. Sitting on Tyra's couch they are having some beers, she's goin through thing with Landry and he's upset about Billy and Jackie:
Tim: Tyra I appreciate you Putin me up.
Tyra: (takes a drink) 48 hours.
Tim: When did you get so cold
Tyra: About the same time I kept getting used by you.
Tim: did I really hurt you that bad.
Tyra: I'm okay now. But back then, all I wanted Tim was for you to fall in love with me.
Tim: I'm sorry! (Rising cheers to her as she clinked their glasses)
Mindy walks in with her stripper friends and is pissed off.
Mindy: Fuckin Bitch I'm gonna rip her hair if she keeps stealin my customers.
Friend: uh huh! I'll kick her (as they enter the house and turn to see Tyra and Tim on the couch)
Mindy: Oh My God! It's a Dillon Panther! Tim Riggins number 33.
Tim: (throws a sailor salute to her) Mind, stripper friends
Mindy: this is Shelia, Shelia this is the hottest thing under 18 my sister ever let get away.
Tyra: oh my gosh Mindy why don't you just screw him already.
Mindy: It's a little thing called jailbait.
Tim: (laughing) I've had older. (Mindy runs to the cabinet and gets some glasses and a bottle of whiskey) That's what I'm taking about, this girl here knows how to party.
Tyra: (grabs the glass from Tim) 48 hours
As they are drinking and chatting it up, Tim has forgotten all about his date with Lyla. Lyla has gotten dressed and is at her house waiting, she's been waiting for about two hours. She is determined to now find out why Tim never showed up so she goes out to her car and gets in and drives over to the Riggins house. Arriving at the Riggins house she didn't see Tim's truck so she felt like maybe something had happened. Walking up to the door she heard laughter and she knocked. Billy opened the door and straightened his face saying "Lyla! Hey what can I do for you." She smiled saying "Is Tim here by any chance?" Billy huffed his breath and said "oh well he took off earlier in anger so I say about now he's probably in Tyra's bed." Lyla looked at him raising an eyebrow. Billy then started to go back inside but turned to her saying "if your getting involved with Tim, it's a bad idea. Tim doesn't care about anybody but himself. He got kicked off the team because he was down in Mexico having fun so if I was you I would run for the hells." Lyla got in her car and she wasn't crying she was just angry, she was gonna drive home but she found herself driving out to Tyra Collette's house. She was hoping to so hard that Tim wasn't there that she hadn't yet again given herself to the Riggins that sluts up the whole town. Pulling into the driveway she immediately saw his truck and she began shaking her head. She could have turned her car around and left but something inside her needed to look him in his eyes so he can know just exactly where he lost her. Getting out the car she could hear music and loud voices from people. She walked up to the door and knocked, but no one answered so then she banged on the door, and finally Tyra came to the door.
Tyra: Well well if it isn't little Miss Lyla Garriety.
Lyla: Is Tim here?
Tyra: (she motions her hand for her to come in) There he is (pointing to Tim who was getting a lap dance from Shelia)
Lyla: (steaming mad) TIM!
Tim: (hearing Lyla's voice shot straight up pushing Shelia out of the way) Lyla! Oh aaahh! Hey!
Lyla: (heads for the door) Oh don't stop on my account!
Tim: Lyla! Lyla! (Following her out the door) What are you doing here Garriety?
Lyla: (turning to him in tears) what am I doing? What am I doing? I wanted to see the guy that you really are and everyone gets to laugh at dumb Lyla for wanting to believe in you.
Tim: (wiping his face) ooh shit! Dinner! Lyla I'm sorry! I got into this big fight with Billy and I'm just stayin here!
Lyla: (yelling at him) save it Tim! Even Billy knows the real you but I wanted to believe in the Tim that told me he cared about me, my friend.
Tim: Lyla nothing happened. I'm sorry! We can go right now
Lyla: Stay here Tim (getting in her car) you got your on personal landing strip here. (She pulls off leaving Tim standing in the middle of the yard).
