AUTHOR NOTE: I can't believe we are at 100 chapters and I appreciate you
guys putting up with the spelling and grammar issues as this is my first
story. Some is true and some isn't. I hope to continue and will do so as
long as I get the feeling people are reading, thanks for all the comments.

Things will continue to change for Mike and the people in his life. There
will be new friends and business associates and an expanded team. Some
people will be gone for good and some for a short while. There will be
times when Mike is just a school kid as both him and his dad are working on
that, those will result in gaps in the story time line (not in posts). I
hope you enjoy reading and continue to do so.

BACK TO THE STORY

Wednesday morning brought rain and wind but I went for a run anyway,
putting coffee on before I left. After the run, it was coffee and a shower
and I was considering a trimmed beard so I didn't shave. Then it was off to
school and I ran into Rob and Carrie in the parking lot and a slight nod of
my head got the message to Rob to tread lightly. I kissed Carrie and shook
Robs hand we went inside. Carrie said so Mike we are down for a fuck and
go? I said babe, that's simply outrageous and I went into class. I skipped
my usual seat and made sure there were no empty seats around me. After
class it was right to my next class, leaving Carrie looking at me. The rest
of the morning was uneventful and then it was lunch. I got lunch, put my
tray on the table and was about to sit down when I was tapped on the
shoulder, I turned and there was Carrie. She said Mike are we going to
fight again? I said, I hope not, that's why I walked away. That was unfair,
on so many levels. She grabbed my hand and we went out to the hall and into
an empty classroom. I was gently pushed against the wall and she started to
unbutton my jeans. I pulled her up and said, are you out of your fucking
mind? She chuckled and said you are the one that likes quickies and left
the room. In the hall I grabbed her and said ok, if you can work it out
spend the night. Just let me know and I went into lunch and was barely able
to eat before it was time for class. History class was the same with us
sitting on opposite sides of the room.

I waited for her and said babe, we both have study hall next so sign out to
the gym and we are going to my place. I got a snotty look but she did sign
out and I met her in the parking lot and we drove to my place. Inside I
threw our stuff on the floor, picked her up, carried her to my room threw
her on the bed and leaned in for a kiss and got slapped. I grabbed her
hands and said, so you want it this way? I kissed her and she screamed,
MICHAEL STOP. I immediately let go, got up and sat in a chair. I looked at
her and said so now what is the fucking problem? I make time for you and
you act like a bitch. I try to find something for you to do, what more do
you fucking want from me, there is only so much and you take. She screamed,
YOU MAKE TIME FOR ME? I got up went down stairs and grabbed two beers and
the cigarettes and went back in. Handed her a beer, lit a cigarette and
took a big drink of beer. I looked at her and said ok, what the hell is
this all about? She was quiet so I got up and cracked the window, sat down
and said SO? She started to cry and I screamed, DON'T YOU DARE GO
THERE. Just fucking tell me.

Still no reply, so I asked, Carrie are you breaking up with me? She laughed
and said I hope not are you breaking up with me? I said no, I am not. But
we need to come to an understanding. We need to get through the next month
and things will settle down on my end. Most teens don't get to have sex as
often or in as comfortable places like we do. Yet, when I have a couple of
hours to spend in my bed in the afternoon you get pissed off, over a remark
about a quickie? Really? Help me figure that out, please. See most guys my
age just fuck, we make love. So if it makes you feel better, let's squeeze
in the back seat of my car and fuck? She got up and started towards me and
I said if you you think you are going to try to slap me again you are sadly
mistaken. She sat on my lap looked me in the eye and said, Michael please
never be that mean with me again, I fucked up and I'm sorry but that was
damn close to a total victory, too close. She reached up and pinched both
my nips and felt me up and said fuck, you are that mad. I simply said
yes. She put her head on my chest, sitting on my lap and we just held each
other. We eventually moved to the bed for a very romantically charged
session of love making. Then she said, Mike, I know you have a busy night,
I'm sorry and I love you. Please take me home. I kissed her and said, I'm
sorry I got so mad, I love you.

When we got to her place, I walked her to the door and we kissed and I
said, babe I love you. As the door opened, Sam was there. I said dude, do
you have radar? No, I can't talk and I got in the car. At home, I grabbed
an iced tea and the cigarettes and went out side and sat. Suddenly there
was a hand on my shoulder and Rob said fuck, I'm starved. I said I have an
idea we got in the car and I started towards Greentree, Rob said where we
going? I said to a cool bar. We parked and I let him go in first. He looked
around and said, damn how do you find these places? Just then the owner
came up gave me a hug and said find a seat in the back, I assume you guys
are drinking iced tea. I said thanks and we found a seat. The beer came and
Rob said, how many places in the city is iced tea beer? I said not
enough. This is dad's college haunt, so it works. I ordered half my usual
and a basket of fries and Rod said I'll have the same but no fries. He
said, so after the fight today how was Carrie? I said she was good and the
sex was good but damn, she is a pain. He laughed and said so is Hannah. I
asked about JJ and he said he is worried as you didn't contact his dad
today. So he wants to come here? Mike more than you know. So what about
football? Mike he is all in and started working king out and his rents are
blown away. The food came and he said I was wondering why you order d a
half. This place is better than the Tavern. I laughed and said don't say
that around home.

On the way back I asked how he and Hannah were he said really good. Then he
asked about the spat Carrie and I had. I said, lately we are having too
much make-up sex and he laughed. I was hoping he could spend some time but
he said he had a lot of schoolwork and headed home. I went to my room and
found Major Messer's number and called. It went to voice mail and I left a
message and found my book and started reading. After about an hour I went
down stairs grabbed a beer and sat in the game room. I got up walked around
and then went back to my room. I had no idea what was bothering me but I
couldn't relax. Just then my phone rang and it was dad. I asked how thing
were and he said we lost the NASA account. I didn't say anything and he
said, shit I was hoping to get a rise out of you, things are good. We
talked for a while and then he said expect a call from Major Messer in a
while. I asked, so were you two together today? Dad said, relax Mike we
were in the same meetings, we chatted some but I didn't get into your
shit. Dad, seriously the job or me never came up? Well you and football and
JJ's sudden need to work out. Dad, that's not me but most likely Rob. Mike,
I understand just be aware. I said thanks dad when you get home? He said, I
got a ride on the flying hotel room so early afternoon. I said so dinner at
the club? He laughed and said fine.

I was still uncomfortable and didn't know why? Then my phone rang again and
it was Ryan and I knew. I answered saying so Ryan what did my brother do?
He said, Mike he OD and we are in the hospital. Ok which one? He said
Prespy, we are in the ER. He is not in good shape, please come. I said,
Ryan I'm on my way. I thought about calling dad, but what could he do? I
was flying and running lights and shit, there was a police car and I pulled
over and when the officer came, I rolled down the window and said my
brother is in ICU at Prespy and I need to get there. He said kid in one
piece would be nice, just follow me. It was lights and sirens and I flew
into the parking lot and ran to the ER. I saw Ryan and he said Mike and I
stopped him and said don't, it is not your fault. How is he? Mike, very
bad. I went to the nurse station and asked for his doctor, when he was
available. She asked, who I was and I said his brother and that dad was out
of town. She said, have a seat and I'll get you an update as soon as I
can. Ryan was a mess and I went over and sat beside him and we just sat
there. I looked at him and put my arm around him and said Ryan, this isn't
your fault, but it is mom's an dad's and he is going to need both of us.

My phone rang and I saw it was Major Messer. I went outside and said Major
please understand, I can't talk. Can I please call you tomorrow. He said
Mike, what's the issue and I said my brother and hung up. I went back in
and sat besides Ryan and we waited in silence. Then my phone rang and shit
it was dad. I said, hi dad and he said so what did Bill do now? I said an
OD and things are bad, I haven't talked with the doctor and just then, I
saw a doctor walking towards us. I said dad, I'll call you right back. The
doctor asked are you waiting to hear about Bill Simmons? I said yes, I am
his brother Mike and this is his roommate Ryan. He said he was Doctor Joyce
and that Bill was in very critical condition. He asked if either of us knew
what he took and Ryan said heroine, weed and whiskey. The Doctor shook his
head and said thanks and he would be back soon. I looked at Ryan and asked,
what's up with all that? He said Mike, I had no idea, I promise. He was out
and when he came back, he went right to his room and I heard a crash and
called the EMS. I sat down and motioned for Ryan to sit beside me. Then I
remembered dad and called him back and told him what I knew. He said Mike,
keep me in the loop. Dad, I promise, I love you.

It was an hour later and Doctor Joyce cam up to us and said gentlemen
please follow me. We followed him into a curtained off room and there was
Bill with a breathing tube, an IV and a monitor. Dr. Joyce looked at me and
said he is young strong but there are serious problems. I said Doc. please
just tell me. He took a beep breath and said he well he can lay there like
that for years, but not much more will happen. I said, Doctor is he being
kept alive by the be ventilator? He said, I simply don't know. Well Doctor
when should we find out? He said in a day or two and I said great, dad will
be here tomorrow. Then Doctor Joyce said you guys should go home, we will
move him to a room and we can see if there are any surprises in the next
few days. I said thanks and asked for a minute alone. Ryan and the Doctor
left closed the curtain and I stood there and looked at Bill and thought I
always wanted a brother and it became this, what a waste. Outside I found
Ryan and asked if he needed a ride and he said please, I rode in the
ambulance. Once home I put Ryan in the guest room and called dad. He
answered right away and I filled him in saying please don't rush home, I
was told nothing could change for a very long time. I told him that I would
be home from school and we could go to the hospital together. He asked
about Ryan and I said shitty and he was in the guest room. He said Mike,
you are amazing, good night.

I laughed at goodnight and went to my room. Sleep was impossible but at
least I knew why I could not relax, I simply sensed this. Knowing it was
late, I decided to call Jim. He answered saying dude get a ruler and
measure that thing. I laughed and he said so now what? I told him about
Bill and he said, Mike I'll be right over. I said please don't. Ryan is
here and a mess and I just needed to talk. We chatted about nothing, then I
thanked him for being there for me. He said what the fuck are wingmen for?
I said, please not a word at school, not even Carrie, he said really? I
said, I'll call her in the morning. Thanks again and goodnight. I went to
the guest room and found Ryan just sitting there. I sat down beside him on
the bed and just held him. I took his shoes off and laid I'm in bed and
threw a cover over him and said dude, tomorrow will be more of the same we
both need to get some rest.

Back in my room, I sat in one of my new chairs leaned back and starred at
the ceiling, thinking about Bill and mom and what our lives were like. I
don't know when but I woke up to a ringing phone. I answered and it was
dad. He said Mike, I'm at the County Airport can you come get me, my car is
at the other Airport. I said sure grabbed a jacked and went to get
dad. When I got there it was dad and Major Messer, JJ and Mrs. Messer. I
thought shit, why now. It was an incredibly tight squeeze in my car but we
made it.

At home, I put the coffee on and we all sat in the game room. I had enough
of that and asked JJ if he wanted to hangout upstairs. He laughed and said,
damn that's a good idea. In my room he looked around and said damn, nice
digs. Then he saw the picture and asked about Jim. I said he is my absolute
best friend, QB1 and teammate at VT as we both have verbally committed. I
added that Rob is new to the scene and is a close friend. We talked
football and a bunch of other stuff. Then he asked me about Bill and I gave
him the cliff notes version and said more details another time. I asked if
they were moving here and he said, Mike I hope so but it all depends on
what you and dad settle on. Rob is my best friend and this is unbelievable
to me. I said, JJ your dad and l have an agreement in principal, I think so
how long you staying? He said he hopes forever and I laughed.

Back downstairs dad said that we needed to get to the hospital. He gave the
Major the keys to mom's old car and said just let us know where you are and
hopefully dinner tonight. I asked the Major to walk with me to my car. I
said, Jim how about 28.5 plus benefits for the entire family, 500 plus
month expenses. Half from each company? He looked at me and I said, oh I
forgot a corporate jet. He laughed and said 30 and I said 29.5 and he
laughed and said yes. We shook hands and I said, I'll have Tim draw up an
agreement. Happy house hunting. At the hospital we found Bill's room, got
an update, which was no change. We were told that Dr. Joyce would be in
shortly to talk. Dad, just stood at the door and looked. I came up behind
him put my arms around him and held him. Finally, I let dad go and went in
and sat down. Dad just kept standing there. I just looked at Bill laying
there, I tried to think of a time when we were close or had a good time
together and as there were none, I started to cry. Thinking I've always
been an only child. Ray was my brother and he is gone. Damn, is it me? Then
I thought of Jim and Rob. My thoughts were interrupted by Dr. Joyce. He
said that there no change at all and that over the next few days they would
run scans and see where we actually are in all this. I asked the same
question I asked last night, can he breath without the machines? Again,
Doctor Joyce said I simply don't know, we need a scan for that. Dad said
Doctor can we please get that scan done sooner than later. Dad got a
strange look from the doctor who said, in due time. There is still a chance
he will still wake up. Then he looked at dad and said let's give it 48
hours and see if anything changes. The Doctor left and dad said, Mike let's
go? I looked up at him and said, dad I need some time. I just sat there
thinking, thing between us had been better. Then the next thought was or
was I being used? Tears were running down my face. I sat there for a while
then got up went to Bill and leaned in and whispered in his ear, asshole
get better so I can beat the shit out of you and left the room.

Back in the car dad was very quiet and I asked so dad how are you? He
looked at me and said disgusted as I had a part of raising that piece of
shit, I should have left him in California and neither of us would have to
deal with this drama. Dad, I'm a mess as it is, please just deal with this
like you give a shit and stop pushing for a quick end. Fuck even I think
Bill deserves that. We drove home in silence. Thankfully, the Messers were
out and about and that left Ryan to deal with. I knocked on the bedroom
door and there was no answer, so I opened the door and the room was
empty. I grabbed a coat and went to the apartment and knocked and Ryan
yelled, Mike, just come in. I went in looked around and he was filling
boxes with stuff from Bill's room. I said so Ryan what's going on, he said
Mike that lying cocksucker isn't coming back here even if he recovers. I
thought damn, everyone is dealing with this differently. I grabbed him,
gave him a big hug and we sat on the sofa. He looked at me and said Mike, I
tried, I let him into my life we had sex and I thought things were good and
BAM. He got up, went into what was Bill's room and said I found this on the
night stand and he handed me a sealed envelope with Mike written on it. I
shoved it in my pocket, thinking now I fucking get it. Ryan asked, so Mike
you going to open that? I said yes but alone and in my room. Ryan, I'll
either let you read it or give you the cliff notes. He sad thanks and I got
up and went to the house.

In the house, I found dad and showed him the letter and he said, Mike do
you need to be alone? I said yes, but in your office, nowhere that is
special to me. I don't want any place I am comfortable in to be ruined by
the memories I am about to have thrust upon me. I left dad standing there,
went into the office, looked at the envelope set it on the desk, lit a
cigarette and tore it open. I put it on the desk, took a big drag on the
smoke and picked up the note.

"Mike, I'm sorry I couldn't be the brother you always wanted, I love you,
Bill"

I put my head down and just cried until there were no tears left. I left
the note on the desk and went to my room, locked the door, grabbed my
headphones and laid there. At some point, I heard dad yell, Mike please
open the door. I shouted back not unless you can explain to me how this
wasn't my fucking fault? Leave me alone. Dad kept knocking on the door, I
got up unlocked the door, blew right past him, grabbed my coat and my keys
and left for Jim's. I knocked on the door and he answered, took one look at
me and said, ok dude, I'll measure it for you, I smiled and he said, well
that's better. We talked for a long time and I was feeling better, we
hugged and I drove home. Back at home, I found dad, sitting in his office
staring into space. I sat down lit a cigarette and didn't make a
sound. Then both our phones rang and mine was Carrie and dad answered his,
listen for a while, said thanks. He hung up, looked at me and said, Mike
please drive me to the hospital. I got up and he stood up I grabbed him
into a big hug. We both cried and calmed ourselves and drove to the
hospital. At the hospital we went right to Bill's room and saw no
change. We were there about 20 minutes when Dr. Joyce came in, he looked at
dad and said we decided to run the brain scan and what I can tell you is
that your son can live a very long time in this state and there will be no
improvement. He looked at me and said, son not likely. I said, thanks, I
think. Doctor Joyce said, we can keep him like this for years or do
nothing. Dad said, I don't understand. Well, stop providing food and water
and let it go. I asked, will he feel anything? The Doctor replied, no he
will just shut down. Dad said, ok Doc. so now what? He said well that's up
to you, but we will need to think about transferring him out of here in a
few days. We both thanks the doctor and drove home.

At home, I called Carrie and she answered with where the fuck have you been
all day? I said in the hospital with dad, Bill OD'ed. She said shit and I
said it was intentional because he couldn't be the brother, I wanted. She
said, I'll be right over and hung up. It wasn't 15 minutes later when she
blew into the house and into my arms. We went into dad's office and she
hugged him and I showed her the note and I got another big hug. We went
into the game room and I got her a wine and dad and I a scotch and we were
chatting and all of a sudden the Messer's showed up. There was another
person and I looked at JJ and he said this is Karen my younger sister, she
is a freshman, I immediately thought shit, why did she have to be in Sam's
class. I introduced Carrie and JJ said damn, a hot girlfriend a well. I
laughed as his mother slapped him on his head and said, be polite. As it
turned out they were returning mom's car as they had rented one and were in
a nearby hotel. They were planning on spending a couple of days looking at
houses. JJ asked if I would show him around school, I said sorry, I won't
be there for a few days, can Rob do that? He laughed and said Mike, Rob
feels that it would be better for you to do it, as he said you are the ring
master of the entire school. I laughed and said, sure we can do that
tomorrow, I'll go to morning classes and lunch and you can shadow me. I'll
call the school and set it up.

I excused myself and called Coach. He said Mike are you sick, you were out
today? I told him about the situation with Bill and he said how sorry he
was. I said Coach, I hired a guy from Houston, to work for our
companies. His son is a junior and would like to follow me around tomorrow,
I was planning on coming for morning classes, get my work and then going to
the hospital. He said Mike, that's fine I'll set it up, but what are you
not telling me? Oh, he plays wideout for a school in Texas. He said, ok
both of you my office after lunch, I said yes sir and hung up. Back in the
game room I told JJ that we were set but that the AD wanted to see us after
lunch. I would pick him up at 7:00 and we could go to school
together. Then, I said Carrie and I need to spend some time together, we
will be back in a while. We went upstairs and sat and talked. Then she said
Mike kiss me and we made out for a while and I stopped and said babe not
with a house full of people. She smiled and said, babe I get that and we
went back downstairs. She gave dad another hug and I walked her to the car.

Back inside the house JJ said Mike can we talk about your school? I said
sure and we went to my room. We sat in the leather chairs and I lit a
cigarette. He said ok Mike, I give up please tell me how you get away with
all this? I laughed and said, Carrie and I wore dad down and he has finally
accepted our relationship. The iced tea is iced tea because it is what it
has become. Finally I smoke, drink and fuck and dad knows about it and
approves. Then I said my school is big about 900 kids in our class and we
play a tough football schedule and kick ass and I want a matching metal and
a bunch of people in the picture with the next metal. Then I said JJ, Coach
Weston might have an idea I recruited you? He laughed and said from Texas,
I said yes so when you meet him tomorrow no bull shit, he is a great
guy. Back downstairs dad asked if everyone wanted dinner at the club and
the Major said, that would be nice but we are not dressed for that. I said
Jim that's cool but I got that covered, let's go, JJ and I will meet you
there. I flipped JJ my keys and said dude you are driving.
