Three days later,

"Barnes sit down." Coach Calhoun said as he shut his office door. 

Bucky sat down, "You are suspended two games, and you have 48 hours to get out of athletic housing." Coach Calhoun said

"What?" Bucky said 

"You pissed dirty, and we inspected your apartment we saw all the liqour bottles and smelt the weed. You are lucky we didn't kick you off the team." Coach Calhoun said 

Bucky looked down. 

"Get your head out of your ass Barnes and clean up you won't be playing for us." Coach Calhoun said 

"Yes sir." He said and left. 

When he got to his place he called James as he began to pack. James rushed over and helped him move out and clean up. 

When they arrived home, "Son whats going on?" James said 

"She left me.." he said 

"Who left you?" James said 

"Ellie..you remember Peggy's cousin. She came home with me at Christmas.." he said 

"I remember.." James said 

"She left me, it wasn't suppose to get serious but it did. I fell in love, I asked her to stay and she said no. So I broke up with her, she didn't love me like she said she did." He said 

"Son, is that why you packed up and moved here in the middle of the night " James said 

"Yes, I had to get away from everyone." He said 

James sighed, 

"I saw a future with her dad, she was the one." He said as tears fell. 

"Son look at me, if its meant to be she will come back. But this destroying your life with alcohol and drugs isn't how we deal with things. You know this, I have had this conversation with you before. Im gonna get you some help, and a apartment close to campus. But if you fuck this up I won't help you." James said 

Bucky wiped tears, "Yes sir." 

"Now get cleaned up, Sienna is making her famous enchiladas, red beans and rice. Im gonna go make some phone calls." James said 

"You don't have to tell me twice." He said as he went upstairs. 

Sienna came out of the kitchen, "You still got it even if he is grown." She said 

He chuckled, "Years of experience darlin." He said as he walked backwards to his office.
