Chapter 4 - Time to start over again.
I came round again as the neighbours were by my side asking for help and putting me in the correct positions. The letter had brought back so many memories that I hadn't really had time to take in the fact that I had against all odds been given a car for my 18th birthday. I had a license, and had been using my mums small Renault Clio but she had gone all out for me. It sais in the letter she had been saving for this moment for my whole life and was the main reason why we never had much money. Also a lot of the compensation had gone into put it in a car. I had always wondered why after that even with a new monthly income we still didnt have any money.
I slowly, groggily hauled myself up with some help of the neighbours around me and took one look at the car and fell over again. I was still shocked by the whole thing. The nighbours were incredibly helpful and gave me some choclate as they said I was looking pale and needed that as it would help me. Just as little to give me some energy and make me look a bit perkier.
OMG the house! It suddenly came to me I had no way to get into the house. My key was in the house, I no longer had my mum to rely on being there so of I had forgotten mine I didn't really have a way of getting into the house. It came to me they my have had the keys at either the police station or hospital. I took my phone out of my pocket and saw I had 5 new messages. I took no notice and was straight on the phone to hugh to ask if he could take me back to hospital to enquire if they had the keys to my house. I lay on the lawn and called him up, he said he would be over as quickly as possible and would do whatever he could to help me feel better.
I looked through the messages, two from steph, one from Nige, one from my Auntie Caroline and one from Rachel. She was the girl I had gotten with weeks before but hadnt seen in ages. Although steph found out she was mad but she said she could get over it. Although I wasn't sure wether or not I wanted her or Rachael. The messages from steph as I had guessed were asking if I was okay and to call her as soon as I got her message. The message from Aunite Caroline was saying she wasn't able to get a flight for a few weeks but said her thoughts were with me and would tell the family of what had happened. I diodnt really mind this as they would find out sooner or later and was best in my mind to find out sooner rather than later. Then the last message from Rachael was saying how awesome the party had been untill it had gone out of control, she also said she had started crying when I ran in and was screaming for me to not to. I couldn't hear anything when I did it and was on pure adrenaline.
What I have failed to mention is my love for the beautiful game! The poetry in motion and art to watch. The game that has two names. Soccer or Football. Personally I prefer Football as it is used a lot around the world and I feel is much more used game then the so called 'American Football.' So I was on the cards at LA Galaxy as a youth and was still on there cards and I hadn't herd from them yet. I decided I would call them later. I was centre mid-fielder and had enjoyed playing in there youth system and had grown up with some of the best american footballers of the time.
Off I went to the hospital and luckily they had the keys and was going to give them to me when I left but they had forgotten. I felt so much better now I had the keys to myself. On the way back Hugh and I got some food, alchol, a dvd and some mates and In memory of my parents would have the night they always wanted me to had. Still the voices haunted me but with the help of a shrink I knew this could be cured so put it to the back of my mind.

Great writing, and nice to see you edited it. 
LA Galaxy, eh? Well at least we know where you are and we know a little bit about you. Quality story in the making mate.

Brilliant writing mate. Ahh, LA Galaxy then. Shame Houston Dynamo will kick your arse 
Chapter 5 - The Road Back To Where I Belong
So it was two weeks since the death of my much loved mother and had been in a lot of contact with family explaining the situation. Well not only did this get painstakingly boring through the fact I had the same conversation with over 10 different family members. I may as wel have recorded myself and they wouldn't have noticed. The next set of same old boring conversations with my friends, The loss of both parents had left a big hole in me and one that can only be filled if I was willing to become emotionally attached to a member of the opposite sex. Wow what a new thought..I wonder where being sarcastic with you self lies? I mean talking to yourself means your insane but being sarcastic to yourself? Jeez!
LA Galaxy had been in contact with me and they were saying they would give me the time that I needed to get back into mental and physical shape to come back and return to training. I had recieved lots of support from the plays and from the fans so it was good to see I wasnt being forgotten about. In a kind way Becks had sent his wife over to make me feel better. What a lovey lady she is, I think I had to pay him back some way but couldn't think of how. Surely not a 4th kid?
You were getting excited weren't you? Naa that last bit was only last night dream!.
Back to the real world though and I was spending some quality time with my friends and I knew they would be the best people to be around while trying to get over what had happened. The house was fine and the car was simply stunning. I'd been against 4WD's all of my life untill I actually got inside my BMW and drove it. It was simply fantastic, it felt so smooth and the seats were comfy especially with heated seats. With some friends now turning 18 and they were looking to move out of home I had two spare bedrooms now and decided it would only be nice to let a few move in with me. One was Hugh, we had always got on really well and knew we could help each other. The other was still yet to be decided but time will only tell!
So my details as a footballer. I had grown up through the ranks of the LA youth team and had always been told I had the chance of one day playing for the USA
maybe if my leadership skills developed then I could one day captain my country. This was a life long goal for me, not only representing my country but leading the team out in front off all the American football fans for them. That was where I wanted to be and where my parents had always strived to get me to. From now on it was in one set of hands and those were mine. Everything from now was for my parents! I know they're watching down upon me and I know I can make there sacrifices pay off!
