Jason Engelmann is trying to make his mark in the hard world of the NFL. Just trying to get in is hard, but having a very dark secret is making it even harder. If given a chance to play the game he lives for, he has to keep his darkest secret hidden, but how successful would he be?

(ERIC’S POINT OF VIEW) When I woke up this morning, I had a sense of renewal about my life. I don’t know what it is, but I feel great! I feel I have gotten over the hump from where I stood. I know with the way I feel, I can take on the world! When I arrive at school, I head straight to breakfast. I grabbed my food and get to our normal table as quickly as possible. All the guys except Josh are there. Even Beth is sitting there talking up a storm. As soon as I sit down I ask what’s up. “Josh w

Chapter 4 Joey really didn't get much sleep through the night. Due to that, he was the first one up, waiting for the rest to wake up. He took advantage of the quietness in the house to look up companies to get quotes to change all the locks in his house. At the same time he looked up furniture stores in order to buy new furniture. He came to a conclusion as he got out of bed that he isn't going to pursue any legal remedies against his mother. He has the police report, and he will never trust h

(MATTHEW'S POINT OF VIEW) The last two weeks have flown by before I knew it and Thanksgiving was just a week away. The last couple weeks have been mixed with studying and then final exams for semester grades. Not much is different in here than in regular schools. We still have to take the same required courses in the same years as if we were in public schools still. During the week of semester exams I noticed that Alex wasn't stressing as much as he was when he first got here. I don’t know why

(JACOB’S POINT OF VIEW) As soon as I walked into the door, after I got home from the meeting. I went straight into the kitchen to get me something to drink. I heard some noise in the back yard, so I looked out the window to see what all the commotion is all about. I completely forgot that today is the day that Franseca and her two younger boys are moving into the house behind us. It is going to seem strange to me to have somebody else living in the home that Joey and I bought for his mother

(SERGIO JIMENEZ POINT OF VIEW) I can’t believe I am in this spot. I know I put myself into this with my drinking. I knew one day it was going to catch up with me. I truly hope this isn’t the day it does. I want one more chance to prove I can be a good father to my son. I lost my wife while she gave birth to my son. I have always blamed Chris for the loss of his mother. I know it isn’t his fault, but I needed to blame someone. Chris was easy to be the scapegoat on this. Not even my wife’s famil

Joey had another restless night, as he has had ever since they moved to Alamogordo. He kept being bothered about the fact that his mother had moved out of the house without telling him or his sister. Put aside that she left Joey hanging, she pretty much forced him to move away from Jacob. Joey worked all weekend, alongside Caleb at the video store in Albertsons. Although Caleb knows about Joey, he hasn't yet told Joey about himself. Both of the boys are starting to like each other, but Joey

CARLOS’ POINT OF VIEW) As I sit in the medical wing, I can’t wait for Dabria to arrive. Every Saturday it has become routine for us to meet here and then take off to our secret spot. Although I have come to find out that it isn’t really a secret to Officer Jackson and Mr. Henderson. Every few minutes I look up at the clock wondering where Dabria is at. This is unusual for not to be here already. Maybe I got my wires crossed this weekend. Maybe I am supposed to meet her in our secret room. I ju

(ANDY’S POINT OF VIEW) As I woke up, I found myself alone in the bed and looked around the room to see if I can see Jake anywhere and he was nowhere to be seen. I crawled out of bed and walked over to the bathroom to wash up before heading upstairs. I didn’t see anyone in the kitchen for in any of the other rooms downstairs, so decided to look upstairs for Jake. To my surprise, I didn’t find Jacob his room either. In fact I believe by the looks of it no one has been in here. Joey's closet

(JOEY’S POINT OF VIEW) What a start at a new place, and not even here a week before the police shows up at the new house. I honestly do not know, what is going on with my mother and uncle. To tell you the truth I do not want to know. Even if they were to tell me, I would walk away. I cannot see my uncle as a father figure to me and my sister. Because the beating, my uncle gave me I had to stay out of school for couple days. There is no way I could go to class looking like I was used as a

If you do not do that, and not read up to at least chapter forty, you will be completely lost in this story. The characters

(GRANDPA AL’s POINT OF VIEW) After everyone left the house for school I decided to spend some time with Jeremy. I have gotten so involved in all I am doing right now and I have not spent enough time with Jeremy That’s not what I wanted to have happen when I asked Jacob to bring Jeremy down to live with him here in El Paso. As I made my way up to Jeremy's room, Francisca came walking to the door. I looked at her to see what was going on. I turned around and walked back down towards her, because

(GRANDPA AL’S POINT OF VIEW) After Andy left I headed out to my meeting. I drove downtown as quickly as possible. I arrived at the Hilton Hotel, parked my car and headed in. The minute I stepped in I spotted the young men I am here to meet. Although I have never met these young men before, I can they are the ones all dressed in their yuppie suits, slick hair and briefcases. They are trying to look important, when they never built a thing from the ground up. I walked on over and patted one on

(GLORIA’S POINT OF VIEW) “Mom, mom, the phone is for you. Someone from the emergency room at Providence Hospital is calling. MOM, wake up, the phone!” “Please tell who ever are on the phone to call back in the morning. Unless the house is burning down, I don’t want to be bothered.” “Mom it is the emergency room calling for you. What if it is for Jacob mom? Get out of bed and get the phone.” The minute Marie said Jacob and emergency room. I flew out of my bed straight to my bedroom door. Mari

(JACOB’S POINT OF VIEW) Hanging out at the house on Sunday proved more tiring than I thought it would be. By evening all I wanted to do is just rest in front of the television. Just as I sat down to do so, the phone rang. No one seemed to want to answer the phone. So I dragged myself off the floor to make my way to the phone. When I answered the phone to say I am surprised, is a lie. Mr. Anderson is actually on the other end of the line. “Well good evening Mr. Anderson. What do I owe this sur

(JACOB’S POINT OF VIEW) I heard my grandfather calling me from upstairs. I had hoped to have Jeremy settled down before my grandfather, or anyone, sees him like this. I yelled up to my grandfather I will be right up. That didn’t keep him from coming down though. “What are you doing down here Jake?” “Jeremy and I wear just down here fooling around.” You’d have to be blind not to see Jeremy is upset. My grandfather is not neither blind nor is he stupid. He knows there is something going on wit

(CHASE’S POINT OF VIEW) Linda needed to talk with me for awhile now. I have been dodging this talk because I feel she is going to break up with me. I need to be honest with myself here. I have not been paying a lot of attention with her. Yeah we have sex at least once a week, but not like going out to a movie and then to eat. I finally caved in to Linda wanting to speak with me. Grandpa Al left for a walk and the rest of the guys are off somewhere in the house doing their thing so I decided to

MARIE’S POINT OF VIEW) As I walked up to the house I heard someone yelling for me. I look around to see who it is. At first I don’t see anyone so I keep walking towards my house, and once again I heard someone yelling for me. I looked around and this time I saw I hand waving from a car. I looked hard to see who it is calling me. Then I realized who it is. I walked over to the car with a big smile on my face. I haven’t seen my big brother Andy for awhile. I didn’t think I would see him until th

(JACOB’S POINT OF VIEW) On my drive home I couldn’t get my mind off the programs of these schools not paying their bills. I even know at my age I need to pay my bills or I will lose the goods and services paid bills provide me. What in the world are these instructors thinking not paying the bill? They have more money now in their program than they ever have had. I must have been so deep in thought I didn’t see the police vehicle parked in front of my house until I was already driving into the

BRANDON’S POINT OF VIEW) As the sun filtered into the window and I tried to flip on the bed away from it. Still there is no use. The sun is shinning too bright into the room. I gave up trying to hide from the sun so I crawled out of bed. That is when I realized I am in my room, not Josh’s. I thought I was dreaming when Josh picked me up. I felt weird floating over to my room. I got dressed and headed down for breakfast. Mom had already called us to eat. I really wanted to go and see Josh swim,
-
ROBERT’S POINT OF VIEW) I decided to just stick it out. If it is my turn to go, there isn’t a thing I can do about it. Still I will keep my distance from my roommate and his friend. They seem honest about what they have told me so far, but the other members have shown me I can’t trust this gang. After lunch, just like after the other meals since I have been here, I hid away from everyone. Yesterday I found this corner where I can just sit and mind my own business until lights out. No one will

JOEY’S POINT OF VIEW) Boy was I glad when I heard Sergeant Haney call clear. It meant practice was over and time to clean up. I went and got my target sheets and handed them to Sergeant Haney. I picked up any loose brass that is around my shooting area, put away my weapon, and finally checked in with Sergeant Haney to see my score. Sergeant Haney seemed pleased with my score as he handed me my target sheets. I looked down at it and smiled. I shot almost a perfect in all three positions. I am o

Chapter 8 (SERGIO JIMENEZ POINT OF VIEW) “Sergio Jimenez you have a visitor!” The guard’s voice echoing off the loud speaker through the cell! I got up threw some water on my face as I straighten up my jump suit. It has to be my attorney because it isn’t visitor’s day. Even if it is visitor’s day I have no one to visit me anyway. The gate opened for me to step through. As the inner gate closed the outer door opened for me to exit the cell into the hallway. The guard closed the metal control

RECAP SO FAR: In Chapter 7 the time line of events might be a little confusing. As I wrote up the story I jumped around from point of view to point of view. One moment one character is doing one thing and then the next time we meet up with the character, he is doing something else. I am going to take this time and hope I can clear up the time line for you and me. As we all know in chapter 6 as it ended Alex got stabbed and Carlos went running after the person that did the stabbing. I picked up
