I used to love football. My dad never had a son, and I was daddy’s girl. We watched tons of games together, discussed strategies and players, and attended almost every home Seattle Steelheads game.

After the shooting, I equated football with Jacob. It somewhat ruined the game for me. I quit attending the pro games with my dad, insisting the noise was too much.

My mom and dad didn’t know about Jacob until after the shooting. My dad wouldn’t have allowed me to date a senior when I was only a freshman. Jacob and I had sneaked around a lot. I still thought back on those times with shame.

All that and more came out after the shooting. It was perfect storm of events leading up to that fatal day. I’d broken it off with Jacob a few days prior. He’d been kicked off the football team for partying. His parents took away his car and threatened to send him to a military school. His best friend was dealing with a similar set of circumstances and also flunking out of school.

Afterward, I’d had to look my father in the eyes and tell him his little girl had been sneaking around with a senior, and I was one of the catalysts for the shooting. He’d stared at me, disappointment clouding his expression, and said nothing. His silence was worse than any ranting or lecturing.

My mother, on the other hand, was too busy doing damage control, fearing her friends would ostracize her. My dad worked longer and longer hours. Some nights he didn’t come home at all. I retreated into myself, barely speaking and spending all my spare time at the barn with my horse. Those had been dark times as we struggled to deal with the tragedy. I’d lost my three best friends and fellow cheerleaders. We’d been close ever since grade school.

Nothing was the same after that. Eventually, I healed enough to be reasonably functional, thanks in part to Riley.

And here we were. Quickly approaching the seven-year anniversary of the shooting. I was back in Seattle, mere miles from the scene of the tragedy with the one guy who reminded me of all of it through no fault of his own. I’d given him one date, and the next thing I knew I was wearing his jersey to a football game. Even more surprising, I wanted to wear it.

Thanks to Alisa’s total lack of scruples, we settled into prime seats twenty rows up behind the home bench on the fifty-yard-line. Alisa didn’t believe in going to the back of the line. She weaseled her way right to the front, ignoring the annoyed glares and muttered remarks. Wayne and I refused to cut in line so we’d gone to the end like good little soldiers. An hour later, we found Alisa and the two seats she’d saved for us along with two frat brothers who were vying for her attention. We were definitely in Greek territory and surrounded by drunken fraternity brothers and sorority sisters on all sides.
