Broken/ last match
The snow flakes were coming down slowly dance with the wind as they land on the ground right out side his window wondering if it was true or a big lie. As he starts pacing around his room filled with his favorite singers and his play station 3 with a stack of his new shoes that he bought with his birthday money and the money he worked all summer long for. Bob Marley poster surround him also a collage of his CDs he bought throughout his other years of high school. Wanting to know the true because all the rumors were making him more mad than he was already as he walks out his room looking where his dad was in the house. He slams open his brothers room seeing what he had just done walking into his room knowing he was a sleep before his brother cries for his mother he runs to comfort his brother. Holding him in his arms so small just the size of his forearm as he rocks him back to sleep seeing how life is really beautiful but in many different ways.
Realizing what he was so mad about he sees his dad can calls him because he wanted to know the truth. Yannick whispered " D. Dad c. Can we t. Talk?"
The father turned around and looked at his son as he wiped his sweaty palms on his black pants that he use to take to work. As he made eye contacted with his sons eyes seeing tears rushing down his face he repiled back saying " yeah son what's on your mind. Come to my room." As he turns walking down the hall way as yannick follows his father.
Yannick stood motionless as the door shuts beside his left leg as his father sat on his queen size bed about to lay down to relaxe from the long day he worked. Just when he was going to lay down he sat down just rite by his side. The father asked " what's on your mind son."
Yannick repiled " is it true.. I've heard that I have a little sister?"
" yes it is yan if you want to hear the story just stay here and hear it if you don't want to hear anymore of what I have to hear you can just walk out that door any time you want." Answered the father.
" okay I wanna hear but can I just tell you what they told me?" Said the son. As the father shook his head yes.
" Fabian told me that one day you and mom got into a huge argument and you went to one of your friends house to tell her what had happen. So you went and I guess one thing lead to another. Then my mom didn't know until she was born that you had a daughter with another woman. Until she took you to court and my mom not knowing it was her best friend. When you guys showed up to court she was really shocked. Even though she was shocked she supported you through all theses problems that were happening. Then also one day she saw her old best friend at the super market and confronted her and beat the s*** out of her. Her best friend Jessica knew she did to her so she went for help to one of her close friends. But the close friend knew she did wrong and deserved it because it was coming to her. That's all they told me and that's all I know." Yannick saying what they told him a shamed on what had happened that day.
The dad repiled so calmly and spoke " son most of that is true but you have to know the real reason I did it. Your friends mom Jessica I asked her one day if your mother was seeing someone else and she told me yeah and it broke me. I asked why haven't she told me for any thing she told me because I don't want to get caught up in your guys relationship and be the cause of you both separating. So I went to her as you just told me from your story but son I am going to tell you this now anger can really bring out the worst in anybody. But yeah you do have a sister she lives right near us like a couple minutes away from our house."
" why didn't you tell me about this sooner I bet she Is living a better live than me I'm here stuck in this fucking apartment when I could of still been living in the house I loved and going to school with the people I grew up with my whole life but no." As he stared into his palms as a tear came down from his eye hitting his thumb. Yannick never felt like this alone betrayed from his fathers reckless actions.
" knowing that I've done this to you guys I feel like I betrayed all of you guys here knowing I feel horrible I didn't tell you because I saw how It really affected your brother and I didn't want it to happen to you also. If that would of happen to you and you would of taken in your brothers step sin his down fall I would never forgive my self. But I know I have done to this family and I'm not proud but I have tried taking to your mother and she rejects me and only sees my mistakes I wonder when she going to step up and see her own. I always get things thrown at me by your mother calling names and it hires because every other day she is trying to kick me out of the house but I'm only here for you guys one day I will leave but I will leave on my own will not by her throwing my things on the floor calling me a fucking asshole for what I have done to this family." Father implied to his son.
Yannick couldn't taking anymore as he rushes out the door because he knew all the things his father were saying was true. So he ran to his room locked himself in there put on his head phones to forget everything he just heard as every thing started turning black the last word he heard from his favorite song was "Your b**** just said I'm hot, man I told her I agree She gon' really think I'm hot, if I told her my degrees" from the song peso by ASAP Rocky. As his yes become heavy until he can't open them anymore his sobbing and crying were puttin him asleep as if he was putting his little brother but he was putting his self asleep. Crash as his phone hits the floor with the head phones following. He falls into his dreams where he can imagine a better life then he is living right now.
As we put our foot on the line the announcer’s voice echoed in the microphone, “Wrestlers step up please”.
The referee in his striped white and black shirt approached us, “boys, shake hands”. He lifted up his meaty hand as his green vanes ran through out his whole hand. With a big huff of breath he blew the whistle and it echoed across the whole gym. The crowd started to cheer. They stood up to their feet just on the balls of their feet. The gym was was filled with people on side was all the parent or supporters from each team. On the other sides wrestlers filled the stands. from the match that was about to happen the hype from the crowd it was going to go down in the books.
I ducked down to one side as my opponent followed my lead, and that was just what I wanted as I fainted to one side it left the other side open as I struck and went for a one of his leg as I grasp it in such a reaction I grabbed his leg from the calf switched my position to his hips I picked him from off his feet. My momentum brought him back down to the mat hard and fast. As I heard Coach Cook scream " cut him and start fresh."
I listened to him I slowly backed away from him with caution every movement I made because any moment he could of gone on the attack. I pushed him away from me so I could start out fresh again, I shook it off and got back into my stance looking to attack again. As we go to take a step back to set up an attack we bump heads together I tough it out and keep going but my opponent didn't have the same Heart as me. As he grips his forehead as he goes to a pale white color in his face to throughout his whole body. I saw how his grip on my forearm was losing the strength by every second as he lost his Strength in his legs. His white pale legs start shaking every second he starts falling trying to save him from hitting his head on the hard mat of the gym floor. I leaped to late his head slammed bouncing up and down until it come to a rest. The coaches ran to his side trying to see if he was alright but he was unconscious laying there motionless. As I get up and walk to my coaches for advice if the match would keep going. When I approached Coach Martinez he put his fist out for a pound he whispered " keep on going this is your match you can beat this Libertyville stub. Make me proud."
I knew he was going to get up and keep going so I got ready to go. So when he got up the referee gave him a little time to get back to and recover. I waited to get ready again by wiping my sweaty hands on my legs waiting for the referee to give the signal to keep on going. The kid gives the signal that he can keep on going so the referee makes sure by the coaches if he can and they gave the thumbs up. I get to the line put my foot on the line getting ready to go again at all of a sudden the referee came again asked if we were ready I replied "ready." And he did also.
The referee blew the whistle I bolted to the his ankle I wrapped my hand around and cupped his ankle and drove my shoulder into the front of his connecting part of the shin and the ankle. The opponent couldn't handle it so he collapsed to his back I move quickly to end the match because my muscles were dead I couldn't keep going like this because if I didn't end there would be a possible choice were I can lose. When I remember what Coach Martinez said make me proud that gave me the drive to keep going. If I lost I knew I would of disappoint him also my older brother was there to support me so I really couldn't lose. I tried to hold him down with all my might so I could could go for the pin as on of his shoulders comes up so I switched my position to a head lock for a better place gripped I squeezed so hard as his face turned into a light blue. I hear the referee counting as I just hoped and worried that he wouldn't get out. I see a hand going to slap the mat as it raised and lowered making the sound echo throughout the whole gym.
I jumped up really quick but to show that my opponent out up a good match after the collision we had. I reach my hand out to help him up to his feet and he looked at me with a weird face but took my hand and slowly got up as defeat came over him. I shook his hand another hand came over mine as I got it raised I ran to the other coach to shake his hand as I did he grips my hand so hard that one of my fingers crack. I run down the line of my team members giving them high fives and the were proud I won because he was a tough opponent but I managed to beat him.
