After winning the game David usually felt a rush of energy, a natural high, and a connection to his teammates. This made him feel like they were best friends and rulers of the world. That the football game was just the most amazing thing ever, but sooner or later this feeling would fade and disappear. It did because David heard Kurt tell his friend that this was his last game and that he wanted to visit Kevin tomorrow in the hospital. The mention of Kevin's name was enough to make David feel sad, but especially since it was Kurt who mentioned it. David was hoping that Kurt would feel the same way he did after the game, and that he would want to continue play on the team. Knowing that's not what Kurt wanted ruined his good feelings for today. Although after checking a couple texts from his friends and one from his dad congratulating him on a good game, he felt better. He also remembered that he had the plan for tomorrow. If his plan worked, it would change everything.

Later that night, he dreamed he and Kurt were in the locker room.

He asked: "Kurt, is this really your last game?"

Kurt said: "Yes, it is. That doesn't mean there aren't other things we can do".

David said, "I would like that." Kurt kissed David and he kissed him back. Then David took off his shirt and then kissed Kurt's neck. Kurt started to take off his clothes but then disappeared completely. David found himself on a dark street in only his boxer shorts and his shoes. Kevin Green was laying on the ground and his clothes were torn, and his body was badly bruised. There was someone standing over him, but all David could see was that he was wearing dark jeans and dark sneakers. Yet somehow David seemed to know who he was, and he tried to scream but nobody heard him. Then Kevin and the person beside him just disappeared, and he was left alone on a dark street.

He cried, "I'm sorry, Kevin. I should've protected you; this shouldn't have happened!"

David woke up and thought, "I have to do something. I know I couldn't have protected Kevin, but I need to try to protect Kurt. To do that things would have to change, and he wasn't sure what he needed to do for that to happen. He knew he couldn't pretend any longer, and then he looked at the time on his cell phone. He texted Brittany, "How early can you do this internet show today?"
