Marcus Jordan: A Legend In The Making

December 25th, 2002

Merry Christmas! It even snowed today... it's soooo cold. I don't mind though. It makes it feel more like a holiday.

I got some cool stuff too. I got some new nike receiver gloves for when I play in college. Some new cleats, and shooter sleeves. Those things look completely bad ass. I also got a new t.v. that I'll be taking to college. And of course some little stuff here and there.

I went to my room and opened the box in the dresser. The ring for Kelly was there. It was a promise ring. I was going to give it to her today. Obviously that won't be happening...

The stupid store won't let me take it back either. Assholes. I don't know what the hell I'm going to do with it.

On the plus side I really can't wait to go to South Florida for the visit. It's gonna be warm! Hahaha. I can't get football out of my head for a second. It's my life.

Happy New Year!!!

Hahahaha, it was the first time I've gone out like that since the whole thing with Kelly went down. I went to Sammy's house for the big party thing. It was nuts. So much went down. I'm lucky I didn't spend the night in jail.

First off Kelly was there so I wasn't sure how everything was going to go down. Next thing I know, some guy walks up behind her and puts his hands on her hips. That's right, that asshole on the phone, that was him.

She shot a glance at me and I fought the urge to walk over and start some shit. Instead I just grabbed a drink and went over to chill with Terrell. He was our running back all four years in high school. Apparently he got a scholarship to go play for Texas. That's nuts. I could only imagine getting to go there.

So yeah, I was already on edge of having too much to drink when this guy walks over thinkin he's all bad ass. He gets up in my face and starts his talkin. I could tell he was already drunk. I don't remember his exact words but he said something sexual about Kelly and I lost it.

One punch put him on the ground. Terrell jumped up to pull me back but I threw him off and just got down and started swingin. I busted him up pretty bad. No doubt a broken nose and possibly a busted up cheek bone.

Finally half the football team pulled me off. Kelly came over and hit me with the biggest slap ever. I was pissed, said some words and stormed out.

I get about halfway down the street and go figure a cop pulls up. It was sorta hard to blend in when I was the only one on the street and I had blood on my face and shirt.

"Hey son, what are you doing out here."

Cops make me uncomfortable.

"I just left a party, some guy tried to start a fight with me. I just decided to go home."

"Looks like he did more than just start it." He said while pointing out the blood on me.

My heart began to race. What if this lost me all my offers for college... just because of Kelly and that ratbag boy toy of hers.

"I was just trying to defend myself."

"Right.... why don't you hop in the car and I'll give you a ride home."

Seeing how there was no way out of it, I got in the car. He did just as he said. I thought he was going to drive up and talk to my parents or something but... he didn't.

"You know Marcus, you have to be careful. One wrong move could blow everything for you. You are a hell of a football player. I've seen you at many of your games. You have talent. Don't let it go to waste."

He pulled up at the end of my driveway.

"I'm not going to tell your parents about this. Just go inside, get cleaned up and be smarter next time."

I was just about in shock.

"Ok, thank you sir."

"Have a good night"

"You too"

I got out of the car and walked inside. Nobody was awake so I had gotten off the hook. The cop was right though. I need to play it straight... although it felt good to beat the hell out of that guy... and to see the look on Kelly's face. Hahaha.

Well the flight was terrible. But the visit was awesome.

I'll tell you what. I'm feeling better about the whole Kelly situation already. Why? Because there are some fine... fine women out here. I mean, damn. I even caught this one girl checkin me out. She'll be doin it even more after I'm the star of the college. Hahaha.

Coach took me down to the field. It was awesome. Big stadium.

After that I went and got to meet all the assistant coaches. The wide receivers coach seemed like a cool guy. That's always a positive.

Otherwise I just walked around the campus. Checkin some stuff out, mainly the hot girls.

All in all I was pretty impressed. That verbal commit is going to be permanent unless UCLA really shows me something amazing.

Well it is now official. I will be attending South Florida University next semester.

The visit to UCLA went well. It was just about as good as the one to South Florida. But it just didn't feel the same.

There is something about South Florida that gets really pumped... and no it's not just the girls. Just the thought of me building up a small program like that. Helping bring them to the top. It would be a great way to make a name for myself.

I can't wait... is it June yet?

Happy Valentines Day...

I hate this holiday. It's just one where people who are in relationships can mock those who aren't. Throw it in their faces and what not.

Actually, my day wasn't too bad. I had two of the cheerleaders come up to me today. The one gave me a kiss on the cheek. She ain't bad lookin so I guess it was a success. Haha.

Later in the day this girl Heather came up to me and asked me if I would like to do something later on. It caught me off guard. Heather is that girl at school who is absolutely beautiful but doesn't hang out with the preps and jocks and stuff. I wasn't expecting anything like that.

She is beautiful though. Brown hair that just passes her shoulders, gorgeous green eyes, a smile that anyone would kill for. She has the perfect body, C Cup, a black girls ass on a white girls body. Just wow...

So I did accept. We went to Newman's. It's a little restaraunt near the school. It was nice. And I had a great time with Heather. I'm still trying to understand why it is that she asked me to go with her tonight. I mean, I'm not really what she would typically look for.

It was fun. We talked a lot about our lives. She had grown up her entire life in the district, we have occasionally had classes together but never reallly talked too much. She seems like a great person though.

Now here is the really crazy part. She wants to go to college at The Art Institute of Florida.

Now for those of you who don't know this. South Florida University... is in Tampa Florida... and so is The Art Institute of Florida.

Maybe God is trying to tell me something...

After dinner I took Heather home. She hugged me, which was nice. It showed me that she wasn't a whore. That it would take more than one day to get a kiss from her.

I got home and checked my voicemail... it was Kelly...

[sep]

Pfft, screw Kelly .. get with Heather.

[detroitbasketball]

Leave Kelly a nasty voicemail. Make us proud.

[SilverChaosVII]

Hahahaha, that's all for today I think. I have to get ready for work and that will last until 10. So yes, the cliffhanger... what was the call all about? lol

[TJFOR3]

I'm liking this. And the phone call, Kelly's pregnant?

[Loki]

Definitely some good posts, can't wait to hear about the phone call. I don't know....

Gotta get at me with one of those sweet headers though, definitely!

[SilverChaosVII]

Sorry about the hold up guys... maybe a post sometime soon lol

My mind was racing. Everything happened too fast. It was all just a blur.

I forced away the tears from my face as my '66 Mustang raced down the highway. St. James Hospital. Kelly had called to tell me that T.J. had gotten in fight in the city. He had been shot multiple times.

T.J. has been my best friend since God knows when. He never really got into football too much. He was a big basketball player though. He is a hell of a player at that. But he was that guy that you knew was real. Even if every other person around you seemed like they was fake. T.J. was always the truth. Why him? Why T.J.?

I parked my car and quickly made my way into the emergency room at St. James. Kelly was there. So were many other of T.J.'s good friends. Kelly rushed over to me and wrapped her arms around me. It kinda caught me off guard considering the way things have been between us lately. It was nice having her this close again. Feeling her warmth.

"I'm so sorry Marcus"

The words cut through me. I didn't know how to respond what to say. So I just held her. Close to me. Thinking.

About T.J.

About Heather

About South Florida

About Kelly

....

What am I going to do?

[Jay [FSU]]

You're going to go to college.
What was staying home prove?
Now you have T.J. to play for, every game.

February 19th, 2003

The sound of thunder boomed over us all. The entire school. Luckily the rain made it so nobody could tell I was crying. I stared at T.J.'s casket. He was gone. The kid who was by my side for so long would never be there again.

I felt somebody put their hand on my shoulder. I didn't turn around. I just kept staring ahead at the casket.

"It will be ok Marcus."

I didn't respond.

"I promise I'm here for you. If you need anyone to talk to."

Soft lips brushed against my cheek and she walked away. I quickly glanced back to look at her. She was so beautiful. So kind. Heather...

I really think I want to be with her...

"What the hell was that!"

Kelly was storming towards me. She was angry. I guess she saw me and Heather there.

"What the hell was that Marcus!"

"Kelly, not now. Just stop. This isn't the time."

"No, what the hell do you see in that whore."

...

"What I used to see in you."

I turned, without looking back, and walked. I just kept walking. I couldn't believe T.J. was gone. And that bitch could only think of herself. A young man, with a life full of potential was gunned down and all she can think about is herself. What the hell is wrong with her.

I don't care about her at all anymore. I never want to see her again. I just want to be alone right now.

So I walked home in the pooring rain. Thinking about how great it will be to get away from all of this. From this terrible place. To play for South Florida... and... to be close to Heather. I really want to talk to her. I'm sure she could help me feel better.

R.I.P. T.J.

You'll be missed bro.

[SilverChaosVII]

you guys suck. comment. assholes

[cooljayhu]

Just slap Kelly across the face tell she's a pirate hooker and that she probably has chlamydia from sleeping around. Then bang the other girl

[SilverChaosVII]

Damn I really need to update. I'll bring one soon.

[chosenone58]

I just finished reading. It's looking good so far. Now we have motivation and we can dedicate our entire season (maybe even our career) to T.J.

To hell with Kelly, bro. Heather is starting to look better and better....

[SilverChaosVII]

Thanks for the comment chosen.

I really need to update soon. It's been awhile. Guess I just felt like there was a lack of interest but I guess I'll give it a whirl

[SilverChaosVII]

April 15th, 2003

Wow it's been awhile I guess...

So much has happened over the past two months. Good and bad. I'm finally starting to get over the whole T.J. incident. That kid was amazing. I'll play every game with him in my heart. But I guess I'm starting to show that I feel better.

Although Kelly has still been all over my back about it me and Heather have finally "officially" started dating. She has been there for me through it all the last couple months. I don't know what I would have done without her. Plus the future looks great with us both going to college in Tampa.

And now for the best news of all! Spring game was just a couple days ago.

I did pretty good. I thought coach was pretty impressed as well. I ended the game with decent stats, 4 catches, 62 yards. No touchdowns though. A bit disappointing. But it was nice to strap on the cleats and play some football. I can't wait for the actual season to start.

Oh yeah, and I got an invitation to the Big 33 Game. It's not until June but still, I'm excited as hell. It'll be awesome to play the best kids from Ohio.

Ok, well expect more updates now. Sorry for the lack of them for awhile there. My mind just wasn't set on this. I had so much going on.

The NCAA better look out. Here comes Marcus Jordan.
