Chapter 9

                                    

                                          
The game ended with Robin's team losing. The opponent is one of the best in the league. Robin always gets very angry and upset after losing a game. Just like Chris did when the Patriots lost a game, he would act like he would get a heart attack.
~FLASHBACK TO 2014~
"It's okay Chrissy, next year will be better." The Patriots just lost their spot to the superbowl. Chris is crying, huddled up like a ball on the ground. Bawling his eyes out like a baby. "Next year will be THE best year for the Pats yet." I hug him tightly.
"B-B-Brady could have c-c-catched it." He says sniffling. "I know handsome, I know. He's human too." I kiss his cheek multiple times trying to comfort him. "A-A-And Gronk, t-t-this wasn't h-his best g-game."  I shake my head. "No, it wasn't."
Chris scoops me off the ground and brings me to his massive bedroom. "That game is kicked out of my memory, anyways. I have this beautiful girl that I call mine. It's late. And I need sleep." I was already wearing my pajames while Chris stripped down to his boxers.
He plopped down in bed next to me and hugged me like I'm a pillow. His legs around my legs. His arms right under my chest. "I love you more then Tom Brady." He whisper into my ear. "I love you more though."
~BACK TO 2022~
"Mommy, I don't wanna talk about it." Robin climbed into the car and strapped himself into his carseat. "We don't have to talk about it, normally you want to stay after a game." He shakes his head. "Not today."
Daniel helps James into his seat. James was kicking and screaming but Daniel dealt with it like a champ. Daniel came with me to the game. He was sick this past week but he's doing much better. He also needed to get out of the house again. His wife hasn't been home for the past week or so.
"I'm leaving for LA in a week, so when can I come back?" Chris asks as he nervously walks over to my car. "You can stay for dinner if you want." He nods. "Good, I'll see you at your place." He walks back to his car and hops in.
Daniel and I sit down in my car and I start driving. Robin was watching the imaginary parcour guy jump and James was singing along to some Greatest Showman songs. It's his favorite not Marvel movie right now. We watch it like every week or so.
"Really? You just invited the most annoying man on the planet to dinner?" Daniel asks clearly irritated. "I remember you saying different things 7 years ago. 'When is Chris coming back to Boston? How is Chris doing? Chris still hasn't returned my texts!' I remember that very clearly."
"Shut up." He says with no expressions. I cackle. "Mommy, can we watch Spiderman when we get home?" James asks with a sweet smile. "Sure, Chris is staying for dinner though. So you gotta ask if he's okay with it too." James excitedly nods before going back to singing.
'Come alive. Come alive. Go and light your light, let it burn so bright. Reachin' up to the sky. And it's open wide, you're electrified. And the world becomes a fantasy! And you're more than you could ever be! 'Cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open. And you know you can't go back again. To the world that you were livin' in. 'Cause you're dreamin' with your eyes wide open. So come alive!'
Daniel was trying to hold his laughter as much as he could. James loves singing and does it whenever he can. He's very passionate about it.

We arrive back home. Chris is already waiting, leaning against his car while calling someone. "Chris is calling someone, so don't be too loud okay?" All Robin did was nod, James said something back. "Okay." Daniel went back to his own car after sending Chris some scary looks, with that I mean his lawyer faces.
