Deadline 100-200

During the game, Cody throws Ben the game winning touchdown. They were down by 6 points with 15 seconds left, and Ben had the safety beat by about two inches. Cody lobbed up the ball and soared it just over the safety's head and into Ben's hands. The crowd went nuts as the players ran off the field and hugged each other. Once they were in the locker room, Cody had scouts that came and talked to him about scholarships to play in college. After he returned, Ben and Cody went back to their house to get ready for the dance. Cody went ahead of Ben, while he went to go pick up Dallas. They then went to the dance and when they walked in the whole dance floor shook with applause and cheering. All of the cheerleaders picked Ben up and he crowd surfed until Dallas grabbed him down. They stayed at the dance for awhile, then went back to Dallas's house. Once they arrived, Dallas told Ben she wanted him to stay overnight, but they weren't going to have sex. Although disheartened by that statement, Ben agreed to stay. Dallas then told him that she had been molested by her uncle when she was younger, and wanted to know if Ben would stay. He said of course he would, and said how sorry he felt for her. The next morning, they woke up and Ben went home. When he arrived, his dad was waiting up and had breakfast made. They talked for awhile, then Ben went to the car wash to talk to Rudy. Although he had been doing well, he got back on the sauce and was out of control. Ben then grabbed the bottle of Jack from him and began yelling at him and said how he better be ready to get fixed when he comes back the next time. After the next week in school, they had their final game before the championship. The stands were packed and wild with screaming, but that didn't help out their team much. After a long hard football game, the team that Ben and Cody had led this far, lost by one touchdown. Football season was now over. Ben was glad they made it that far, but disappointed because he wanted one more game winning catch like the last game. He was happy though, that he got the chance to play in the first place. After the game that night, Ben went over to Dallas's house. She was playing with her little brother when he arrived, and he began playing with him too. Ben has grown to love that little guy. He loves playing with Joe Henry and picking on him. He finds out though, that he isn't Dallas's little brother, he's her son. When Dallas was raped by her uncle, she became pregnant. They then moved away, and moved back once she had him, claiming it was her mother's child. She then asked Ben if that bothered him, and what he thought? He said it didn't bother him at all and that he still wanted to be with her, no matter what. She then said how she hated secrets and that she never wants them to have secrets from eachother. This makes Ben feel horrible. She then asks if he thinks that they have a chance to be together forever. He thinks this is an open window to tell her the truth about what's going on, but he misses that window, and tells her "I sure hope so."
