I got home and dad and Bill were in the office talking and dad said Mike you want a drink and I said sure dad I'll grab something and be right back. I went to the refrigerator and was reaching for a beer and grabbed the iced tea pitcher added ice to a glass and filled it with tea and went into the office. Dad just looked at me and I winked at Bill and sat down. Ok Mike, what's with the tea? Dad it's for Bill he shouldn't be the only one here not drinking, I'm good. Bill said so Mike how was the day and I said fantastic and then told them the lunch story on Mt. Washington and they both laughed. We chatted for a while and I said guys my ass is beat, I'll see you in the morning. Bill said Mike, not so fast you and I need to talk. I sat down and said Bill if this about what I think it is I don't have the energy for that right now. Can we please do it in the morning? Bill said Mike now and he added please. I gave him a look that said fuck you and said, absolutely not now. Anytime tomorrow and all day tomorrow if it takes that long. I said dad am I right this does not involve you, am I correct? He said Mike everything involves me so I'm involved. I said fine and good night and I got up to leave and Bill grabbed my arm and I stopped dead in my tracks and said look you skinny runt, you definitely will not win if you make this physical, what the fuck is wrong with you? Well Mike dad and I had a long talk and I wanted to say thanks for all you are doing for me behind the scenes. Look Bill, I know that but I have absolutely nothing left I can't deal with anything good or bad. There is nothing fucking left, nothing at all and I got up and went to my room and locked the door, stripped and jumped into bed and immediately fell asleep.
I woke the next morning got up went and pissed and jumped back in bed and fell asleep again. At some point I woke to a knock on the door and dad said Mike unlock the damn door. I got up nude and went to the door and unlocked it and dad came in asking Mike, it's noon you ok? Dad I told you last night I'm just all done in, both mentally and physically. I need to recharge. Mike for the team you need to pull it together for one more week and then you can stay home for a week, if you want. Do I need to call Dr. Collins and have you checked over? Dad I'm fine I just need a Mike day. So how about you go back down stairs and I'll see you for dinner. Mike, Bill and I are going out to dinner, you want to come? Dad where? It is casual and not the club. If you want to come we are leaving at 6:00. Your call? With that he turned and left and closed the door.
I reached for my phone saw 4 messages and turned it off, pulled the cover over me and just laid there. I tried not to think of anything but the game kept running thru my head and as I revisited each play and what happened, I got up showered and dressed in jeans and a hoodie and went to find dad. He was in the office alone and I went in and closed the door. Ok Mike, what's up? Dad can you get Dr. Collins to make a house call or see me today in the office? Mike, why? Dad I think I have a concussion. Mike how about the hospital? Dad they will, only call Dr. Collins, can we please get this done the the easier way? I don't want the publicity with me in the hospital. Dad with out saying a word picked up the phone and Dr. Collins agreed to meet us at his office in 30 minutes. We got into dad's car and got to the office at the same time as Dr. Collins. We went into the office and sat down and Dr. Collins started asking me questions and taking notes. Then he had me do some agility tests and took more notes. Then he started with some other tests. Then he took a deep breath and said Mike, You don't have a concussion, you are simply exhausted and took a real beating the other night. That game was outrageously physical and most of that was focused on you. So here is the deal Mike, you are home till Wednesday, no school, no school work and nothing else. I mean complete rest and if you had idea of finding a way around that, as of now you are out of football for medical reasons till further notice. Mike, this is important and you will do it my way or you will not play football again this year. Doc, this scared the shit out of me and I agree and except for meals no one will see me till I see you Wednesday afternoon. Thanks for coming in today. Mike, understand I care about you not football, we are and will continue to deal with you and your welfare. I stopped and said I appreciate that.
We drove home and dad said Mike, Bill and I will change our plans and eat dinner here. Dad, please don't do that, I'll grab something here and go to bed, I am truly just exhausted. Mike, how about we bring you something back, I just said dad, good night and please take my phone, I don't want any calls. I'll see you in the morning. I looked in the refrigerator and found some chicken salad made a sandwich and got some iced tea and went to my room. I sat at my desk and ate the sandwich and saw my school backpack and put it in the hall closed and and locked the door., grabbed my headphones and put on a classical CD and laid in bed just doing and thinking about nothing. I knew I would be bored out of my mind and started to think about something I could do and eventually decided I would simply chill and listen to tunes. I turned off the music and climbed under the covers and fell into a deep sleep.
I showered and fuck I was a mess so I shaved dressed in a sweat suit and went downstairs put on the coffee and got the paper. I was sitting there drinking the coffee and reading the paper when Bill came in and I pointed to the coffee and kept reading. We sat in silence and the Bill said so dude how you doing? I just shrugged my shoulders. He said Mike that would happen to me a lot when I was at school and I found that the easiest was was to just get high. I put the paper down and just looked at him. Mike what I'm trying to say there are better ways, I realize that now, so don't even think of that easy way out. Bill, I said, thanks for the advice but I'm a mess and that has not even crossed my mind. He smiled and said dude, this will happen again and you won't have the time to detox naturally and you will be looking for a short cut, just always make time for yourself and you will be fine. I'm making breakfast, you want some? I said thanks Bill but I'll pass. I went to my room looked around and said shit, I need to change this place, other than sleeping and sex I'm not comfortable here. I was laying there and dad knocked and asked how I was doing? I said dad please sit. Dad, I'm a mess that's all I know. So what did you tell the people at school? Mike, I told them you were grounded by the doctor till Thursday and I have a call into the coach and he is getting the truth, you fine with that? I just shrugged and said whatever. Dad said Wow Mike you are a mess.
We chatted a little and then dad said Mike, here are the rules. You eat three good meals every day, you sleep as much as you want, no school work, no Jim, Ray or Alex and no Carrie. Find something relaxing to read, watch TV, listen to music and feel free to talk with any of us and that included Bill and Ryan. I said yes dad and thanks. I rolled over and fell asleep again. I woke up feeling slightly better and just lay there when there was a knock on the door and it was Ryan. He said Mike, I'm sorry to bother you but I'm under orders to make sure you eat, lunch is ready. I said thanks Ryan and I stripped and took another hot shower. I went downstairs and Ryan was cooking a burger and potatoes on the grill and there was coleslaw. I opened the refrigerator and there was iced tea and juice and no beer and I laughed. Ryan came in with the burgers and potatoes got two plates and said Mike I hope you don't mind if I joined you. I said dude, I'm glad for the company. So Ryan why did you move the beer and he said Mike because I could and I wanted to make this easier on you. It's in the basement refrigerator so it isn't out or reach, but I'm hoping it is. Shit Ryan first Bill and now you, what's up? Ok Mike from my point of view, there is a family history with both your mother and Bill so I'm concerned, that's all. Ryan, thanks but let's talk about something else. So what are college classes like? Mike they are not all that different in approach than high school they are simply more focused. Your study habits are either there or not but there are more distractions. Ryan distractions, like in what way? Mike there is always someone around that you can fuck around with or use as an excuse not to study. That's why a lot of kids don't make it. Thanks Ryan, we need to talk more and hang some but the rules are the rules and he blushed and said I know.
I went to my room and found a book and was reading when there was Bill standing in the door, I motioned him in and said so what up? Mike, please listen, I've been where you are you are not over exhausted, you are depressed. Any idea why? Bill I'm starting to come to that conclusion. However, I have no ideal why. I have great grades, a hot car, a great relationship with dad, a sexy girlfriend that I actually love and friends. Bill looked at me and said Mike that's it you don't have friends you have buddies that hang with you because they need you. Just honestly answer this who is your best friend that you share everything with and I replied Carrie. Mike she might be but who is your best male friend and I thought and said Bill honestly I don't have one. Jim and I are moving in that direction but it is a work in progress. Mike, you know what I think? You and Jim need to get shit faced drunk, no bets, no sex just talk about everything. Really, shouldn't we just sit down and have that talk and be sober? Mike, no one including you is that honest. Bill how do you know about the bets. Mike you learned about the bets from me and I learned about that from dad and I figure dad learned about it from his dad. Ok Bill explain, please I need to know. Mike, Patrick and I would bet and I am sure you knew about that, well not the details so you and Ray started, like we all did with silly shit and it naturally progressed to dicks in people's asses. I saw first hand the task that dad and Adam would do. I'm just guessing about dad finding out from grandfather. Wow, that is interesting and it always ended in sex. Then I'm guessing all the Simmons guys are bisexual and they mentally cover it with bets? Mike all I can say is in my case that's true only I stopped with the bets and just went for sex in any form just so it relaxed me.
Bill I have two questions and you can tell me to fuck off if you want. How often do you pay for sex? Mike, that day you punched me in the stomach was the first and only. I needed it and that was the only easy option. One of my problems is that I always go for easy. What's the other question? Bill how did we become so different. Mike, that's easy we became what we became depending on who won the battle between dad and mom. One of them always had to win. For example I am Bill because she named me after her dad and you are junior because dad fought like hell to name you. For them it was always about winning and doing so at all cost. As you know one day shortly after you were born she started drinking. Bill, so that why she's disliked me from the start? He simply said yup.
Ok Bill the other night you wanted to talk and I exploded. What did you want to talk about? Mike I wanted to thank you for all you have done for me, with dad. He laid out the financial changes and your Trust and the will changes. So Bill the Trust doesn't bother you? Mike, it does not, I don't want all that responsibility and you will thrive on it. Beside what you had dad give me will set me up for life and I can do what I have always wanted to do. Bill, I asked, what the fuck is that, there has been three major changes. Mike, I was looking for the easy course structure to just get out of school and move on. Ok, asshole what is it that you really want to do? Mike, I simply want to write books. Before you go nuts there is one written and a publisher is looking at it. That's all you are getting, so don't ask and dad has no idea and it fucking stays that way. Bill I promise not a word. Bill one more question. What are you addicted to drugs or booze? Mike both and I will deal with it and the iced tea thing you pulled the other night to send a message to dad was received by both of us . Ok Bill can you be sober? Mike, the beating I took in jail and your new attitude towards me are really helping, thanks.
Bill remember the scene in the hotel on your visit? Mike barely why? Well on the way out I said or rather whispered in you ear, Mike stop. You said I've always wanted a big brother and I got you, is that correct? Well Mike that really hit home as I've always wanted a brother and I got you. Mike I hope we have each other and now that mom is out of the picture and you have dad reigned in we can have each other, I mean there are only two Simmons guys left and one or both us might be gay or go in that direction so we need to straighten out and become the dynamic duo. Bill, just so you know Carrie and I are getting married after our freshman year in college. Oh, and most likely I'm not playing college football. Thanks for the chat. Bill got up shaking his head and said fuck dude you are something else, you want the door open or closed? I said open please and reached for my headphones and hit play and once again fell asleep.
I woke up with dad knocking on the door jam asking how I was. Dad please come in and have a seat. Dad I have some questions and the answer can be fuck off, is that ok? Dad, how did you and Adam get into betting? Mike the same way you and Ray and Bill and Patrick did? He found out from you and Adam, correct? Yes Mike that's correct. Dad how did you find out? Mike my dad, I'm thinking it goes back a long way. Dad was there a big fight with mom ever time you had kids? Yes Mike she won the first fight and I won the fight when you were born and it never ended. That's why you two are how you are and why she always picked a fight with you to get back at me. Is that too fucked up for you to understand? Dad, that just confirms what I already know and what Bill already knows. He actually thinks you are being nicer to him because I am making you, please change that impression and more importantly mean it. Mom is gone and when my spring break comes she will be out of your office and I hope out of your life. Dad who is the new person in your life? Michael, fuck that's not fair, it a woman and I'll tell you and Bill tonight. I told Ryan I had dinner and do you want ribs, Chinese or something else. Dad pleas decide, I don't care and I'm actually not hungry. Mike you are fucking eating hungry or not. Oh what you reading? Something by Tom Clancy, Cardinal of the Kremlin. No it isn't a fucking church book it is a complicated spy book, very good. Mike, you seem better is that true or a projection of one of your images? Dad Bill and I had a very long talk and there will be no more images, what you see is a very tired and slightly depressed teen. I'm on the mend. Dad I need to see Carrie can I please have my phone back? Mike, the voice mail is full so no you can't. I call Carrie or you can use the land line and just so you know I'm dealing with VT, ND, Michigan and PSU all of which have called. They are all being told to chill out for two weeks. Dad, please one call to Carrie and you can be here in the room. He reached into his jacket pocket and handed me the phone I called Carrie and she picked up on the first ring and said where the fuck have you been? Carrie, I need you to come over can you please do that after dinner, just for a while, I need to be with you. Sure Mike, are your ok? I said doing better and I love you. I hung up and gave the phone dad and said thanks. Tomorrow I need to talk with Jim and he said Mike one step at a time. I'll order dinner.
Dinner turned out to be Mexican and I thought shit that must be Bill. I ate enough to keep dad off my back as I was really not hungry. While eating I asked dad if he could please call Dr. Collins and I would like to talk with him alone either on the phone or at the office, hopefully on the phone. As soon as dinner was over dad went into the office and placed a call and shortly he yelled Mike can you please come here? He handed me the phone got up left the room and closed the door. I said thanks Dr. Collins, I know I'm being a pain in the ass, Mike stop with the shit what's up? Ok Doc is what going on with me is that I am depressed and he said yes, but you were not to figure that out till tomorrow. Doc, why tomorrow? Just that you are very smart and I figured that would give you enough time to think things through. So Mike, why are you depressed? It all hit at once and all the gremlins that are caged in my head had a mass break out and there is someone I have to talk to about that and help lock the little creatures back up? Mike there is your dad? Doc, we talk about a lot but not everything and you should understand that. Mike I do. Do you have a best friend? Doc I do not, I recently outgrew one and the new one is a work in progress. What about you girlfriend? Doc she qualifies as a best friend but I need a wingman if you get that? Mike I certainly do. Mike, I actually think Bill and your mother are behind this can you work that out? Bill and I had a long talk and it really helped and I realized that we are both who we are as a result of the duel between mom and dad and my birth and dads victory was a deadly blow. Damn Mike you want to see a therapist? No I don't, Doc now that I know all that it is manageable. I have already talked with dad about Bill and I plan during spring break to take mom to one of her favorite places and spread her ashes in the ocean. I plan on doin that with Bill. Well you seem to be back in control, what else do you need? Doc, I need to workout or at lease run, please can I do that? Mike light workout and run till you drop starting tomorrow. You are an amazing young man but find that wingman and there are no secrets between wingmen, their live are dependent on each other. Thanks Doc, I'll tell dad about the workouts and running and if he calls to check, please tell him to trust me, I don't want to have a fight with him. Oh Mike how about I tell him to fuck off? I laughed and said Doc you have a better vocabulary than that and he laughed and said good night.
When I open the door Carrie jumped in my arms and gave me a kiss that had dad and Bill looking on in amazement. I put her down and went to dad and said we are going to my room and there will be no sex and the door will be open, I'm hoping you will not have an issue with that? We need privacy, that's all. Ok Mike that's fine. Oh dad and if you or Bill find it necessary to check I promise I'll fucking explode, please just trust us. I grabbed Carrie's hand and whispered in her ear we are going to my room but only to be together and talk, no sex. Once we got to my room I said Carrie we have a lot to talk about. First me and then you but absolutely everything on the table and I got a kiss as an answer. I laid everything out for her, the bets, the money, my relationship with Bill all of it and I got another kiss. Then she started about her mom and dad and her brother and her cousins Terri and Zane. It was more than I knew and at one point talking about her parents she cried and I held her. When we were finished we hugged and just sat there holding hands. She said Michael James Simmons I love you and yes we are getting married and we will work out the fights with a truce rather than a winner. She felt me up and said Mike I need that soon. We got up and went downstairs and she's went to Bill and gave him a big hug and said welcome home. Then she went to dad and he got a hud and she said dad, thanks for not checking on us, we are the two most responsible teens in the world, have a great night. I walked her to the car and when I came back Bill said what the fuck could you two have been talking about for two hours? To my surprise dad answered saying, Bill if your mom and I had talked like that you and the asshole over there would be two normal guys.
Bill went upstairs and I told dad I would be running and working out at the gym tomorrow. He said Mike I know I made a mistake and called Dr. Collins who told me to fuck off and talk with my son. I laughed and said dad you deserved that. I'm too tired to fight so I'm going to bed but please I need to talk with Jim tomorrow. Ok Mike, I get it will you need to talk with Ray as well and I said no. I finally realize we have outgrown each other, we will be friends but Jim is the wingman I need, I only hope he is up for it. Good night.
