"Yo Kap! How are you feeling?" my friend Reggie Bush asks as I make my way inside the locker room at Levi's Stadium.

"A lot better Reg! Thanks for asking bruh! How are you feeling?" I ask since he was recovering from an injury that took him out last season. I feel bad since he had just been drafted to the 49ers. 

"Way better considering I had a few months to recover. I'm so ready to get back into practice and be stronger for the upcoming season!" he clapped both hands then rubbed them together excitedly. I miss his enthusiasm in the locker room.

"Good to hear. So do you still need to do P.T.?" I ask since that's where I was heading today. The manager called to let me know that they had hired a new Sports Physical Therapist. They were assigned to me here at the facility and as needed at home. I guess the main office wanted me to make sure I made a full recovery since my contract was renewed for the 2016 Season. After having a horrible Season and firing Tomsula, they came to their senses and kept me until my contract is up. I just have to prove myself once again that I can have a winning team. 

"Nah, I'm good. I only have to continue my follow ups to make sure everything is working properly." he says with a smile. 

"Good, I'm on my way to meet the new P.T. myself. So I will see you later!" I say giving him dabs. We part ways and make my way to the work out room to meet the manager so he could introduce me to the new P.T.

"Hello Mr. Baalke." I say sticking out my arm to shake the hand of the Niners general manager, also known as one of the jackasses that tried to ruin my career last year.

"Colin, hi, how are you?" he asks being fake as always and shaking my hand.

"Healing and feeling better every day." I tell him honestly.

"Good to hear. So, as I was telling you yesterday, we have hired a new Physical Therapist for the team. She is well recommended and I am one hundred percent certain she will help you get back to where you were before the surgeries."

"Hmm, I hope so...!" I chuckle. It's been a few weeks since the shoulder surgery, then after I had to do my knee and thumb. They are a bit sore but not as bad as before. I just Pray that this therapist can help me strengthen my joints and muscles. I miss being on the field and playing my heart out. I will show management, my doubters, my haters and my loyal fans that I am the best Quarterback for this team.

"So...!" I looked around for her. "...where is she?"

"Oh, Ms. Herrera will be here in a few minutes. She had to get your files from the office." he tells me.

"Ms. Herrera?" I say taken back by the last name. The only female I knew was...

"Mr. Baalke, I'm so sorry to keep you waiting." I heard a female's voice walking inside the room. Her voice was familiar. The voice I wanted to hear every minute of every day all through my Senior year in college. The voice I used to hear before I fell asleep and woke up too. The voice that said the words I never thought I would hear from her mouth...the voice I had missed for the past four years...and the voice I thought I would never hear again.

"Ms. Herrera, that is quite alright. I would like to introduce you to none other than our Quarterback, Colin Kaepernick. Colin, this is A-" but before he could finish his introduction to me I turned around blurting out...

"Alaina...!" and just seeing her again after all of these years brought back all the feelings I had pushed aside for her...HATRED!
