???? Blame It On The Pain Episode ONE:
For Two years Mike kept his promise.
He treated her like gold and Iβd never seen Lilly happier.
Both Mike and I continued to train hard, trying to make it big in the MMA wrestling world.
We trained at one of the best gyms and had a coach who swore our big break was right around the corner.
He was right.
Mike was closing in on a deal with a big time sponsor, and I was about to sign a pretty big endorsement deal with a sponsor myself.
My first professional fi ght was scheduled for one week away.
At almost 24, my dreams were finally coming true.
I was so wrapped up in my own worldβ¦I never noticed the signs.
I never noticed when my sisterβs innocent blue eyes lost their sparkle.
I never noticed when her bubbly personality changed.
I almost didnβt notice when she stopped showing up to watch us train.
βWhatβs up with my sister? I havenβt talked to her in like two weeks. She hasnβt shown up here latelyβ¦why is that?β I asked Mike as we headed to the locker room after a training session.
Mike shrugged. βI donβt know, sheβs been studying really hard. I think she wanted to go shopping today. She said something about wanting to get a new outfit for the big fi ght next week.β
I laughed. βYeah, I guess that makes sense. Her boyfriend and big brother are having their first professional fi ght on the very same night.β
I knew that no matter how hard Lillyβs intense course load at Harvard was, she wouldnβt miss the fi ght for the world.
He looked down and I watched as he shifted his weight from foot to foot. βYeahβ¦β
Something was off. I put my hand on his shoulder. βWhatβs going on?β
He shrugged me off and walked toward the showers. βJust a little nervous is all,β he called out.
I finished showering before he did.
I walked over to our lockers and proceeded to get dressed. He stupidly left his locker half openβ¦and thatβs when I noticed it.
A tiny bottle of something that wasnβt labeledβ¦along with a needle.
It didnβt take a genius to figure out what it was.
$te roids.
I swiped it from his locker and waited for him to come out. βWhat the fk are you doing, Mike? Are you trying to ruin your career before it even starts?β I screamed.
He looked around the locker room. βKeep your voice down. What if coach hears you?β he hissed as he reached for the bottle.
I pulled back. βOver my dead body. No way am I letting you ruin everything youβve worked so hard for. What the fk is the matter with you? I never thought you would do something like this!β
He pu nβ¬hed the locker beside him. βEverybody in the sports industry uses, Jackson. Iβm going to stop after I win the next few fightsβ¦itβs just enough to put me on the map.β
βYouβre an id!ot. Youβre about to sign a deal with a big sponsor! You donβt think theyβre going to test you for roids? Even more than that, youβre ruining the integrity of the sport. All sports. Passion is what should be flowing through your bodyβ¦not this sht.β
βLook, some of us donβt have it like you do. Some of us need a little help from time to time. And Iβm not the only athlete to ever try it, most have. Itβs just a little pick me up.β
I shook my head and glared at him. βThis isnβt a βpick me upβ, this sht will send you straight to hβll in a hand-basket. Train better, work harderβ¦donβt do this sht.β
He sighed and slumped down on the bench. βYouβre right. I fked up, Iβve just been so nervous and Iβm second guessing myself. I donβt want to lose.β
I sat down next to him. βI understand. What makes you think Iβm not feeling the same way? This is a huge deal for us, and itβs normal to be nervous. Use that nervous energy as positive fuel. This sht will ruin your life.β
He nodded. βDonβt tell Lilly about this, please.β
βI wonβt. Besides, if she knew, the fi ght next week would be the least of your worries. Iβm pretty sure sheβd kick your a$s so bad you wouldnβt be able to train for weeks.β
He grinned and began changing into his street clothes. βYup, youβre right about that. God, I love that woman.β
