Written by This is the end. Gonna clear some things up: Taylor is black. I know I said in episode eight it was a week till the match with Phillips and Kevin, but it was a month after that. That’s about it. Enjoy!
Jack woke up. He realized it was almost halfway into the summer. He walked to the kitchen.
“You’re up late,” Jordan said. “Yeah, yeah, shut up. I stayed up late last night,” Jack replied.
“Jack, come with me for a sec,” Kevin said. They went to a closet.
“I think it’s time to tell Jordan and Madison about me,” Kevin said. “Agreed,” Jack replied.
They walked up to Jordan and Madison. “Alright. So Kevin is actually…” Jack said. “I’m your dad.” Kevin finished. “So this entire time, you were our dad?” Madison said.
“Yeah. I’m sorry I didn’t tell you sooner.” Kevin said. “You knew about this the whole time, Jack?” Jordan said. “Yeah, since I was 3,” Jack replied.
“LUCKY!” Jordan and Madison both said. They all hugged Kevin. “Now, can we call you Dad?” Jordan and Madison said.
“Well, no- OF COURSE WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?!” Kevin said. They all smiled.
Over the next three weeks, they trained Kevin to the max, went to church some more, went to the water park again, amusement park again, urban air again, and finally, they did stuff they always wanted to do.
Jack always wanted to shoot a gun. Jordan always wanted to do spear-throwing, and Madison always wanted to drive a four-wheeler. Jack asked what gun he should shoot first. Kevin said a 22 LR. He shot it, and it was fun.
Next, he shot a 223. He was told it would have a bit more of a kick. It did. Next, 7.62×39. He shot it, and it had more kick. Finally, a 308. It had a decently big kick. And he enjoyed it.
He asked Kevin if they could go hunting during hunting season. Kevin said yes. Jordan started out with smaller, shorter spears and gradually went with bigger, longer spears. Jordan enjoyed it very much.
Madison rode a four-wheeler and took off like a duck in water. She wanted to do it again.
Two days later, Jack went out on a date with Hailey. “You picked a good restaurant. I like Italian.” Hailey said.
“Me and my dad worked a system out. I stay here for the summer and all the way to December. Then I go back home. Then we repeat the cycle.” Jack said.
“That sounds good,” Hailey said. “He said I could maybe go to your school,” Jack added.
“There’s a prom. I don’t mean to brag, but I’m a good dancer.” Hailey said. “I’m on par with you, I believe,” Jack replied.
The food came. They ate. They went outside afterward.
“Jack, I like you, like a lot,” Hailey said. “I like you a lot too,” Jack replied. They kissed and then went into the car.
“I never slept over at your house,” Hailey said. “Yeah, maybe tomorrow,” Jack said. “Okay,” Hailey said.
Jack dropped Hailey off. Jack then went home.

One week later, it was Kevin’s fight. Both were in great condition. Jack, Norton, and Jayden were his cornermen. They wrapped his hands. As they wrapped them, their pastor came in.
“Thanks for coming, Brother,” Kevin said. “I’d like to pray over you.” Pastor Richard said. “I appreciate it, thanks,” Kevin said.
They prayed, and Pastor Richard said some verses for Kevin. Kevin was ready.
“EVERYBODY, THE FORMER HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, “THE GRIM REAPER, ” “THE BANE OF PAIN, ” KEVIN HARRISON!” The announcer said.
The crowd cheered extremely loudly. Kevin ran out of the tunnel pumped up the crowd, and walked out to “kickstart my heart.” “AND THE CURRENT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, TERRANCE “THE TALL TERROR” PHILLIPS!”
The crowd cheered slightly less loudly than for Kevin. The fight started.
“Round one, and Phillips toying with Harrison, mocking him. Harrison pops off with a few jabs, all blocked.
Phillips mocks Harrison some more and- OH! BIG BODY SHOT BY HARRISON! AND PHILLIPS IS MAD! THROWS A QUICK HOOK THAT IS DODGED AND COUNTERED BY HARRISON! BACKED UP INTO THE CORNER, AND HARRISON IS UNLOADING ON HIM! LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT, AND PHILLIPS SWITCHES IT AROUND AND IS PUNISHING HARRISON!” The announcer was saying.
“GET OUT OF THERE!” Norton said. Kevin backed out from it. He threw a quick hook that stunned Phillips.
“AND HARRISON THROWS A MASSIVE UPPERCUT WHILE PHILLIPS IS STUNNED! HARRISON THROWING MANY HOOKS AND PHILLIPS LOOKS WEAK! PHILLIPS HITS HARRISON IN THE ARM! HARRISON IS VERY CLEARLY HURT BADLY! AND PHILLIPS POUNDS HARRISON, AND- OH HARRISON IS SENT ACROSS THE RING!” The announcer continued.
“1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,” the ref said. Kevin purposely took that count.
The bell rang, and the fighters went to their corners as Jayden screamed insults at Phillips for punching Kevin in the arm. (Punches to the arm are allowed in boxing, but do not award you any points, which is necessary if the fight goes to a decision by the judge.).
Phillips shoved Jayden, and a fight ensued. Kevin immediately threw a cheap shot at Phillips and then wrestled him, punching him while he did it.
Everybody separated them, and the ref gave both a very stern warning. They went to the corners.
“Rip this guy’s jaw off. Go for those uppercuts.” Jack said. “Dodge, then when he’s open, uppercut like Jack said,” Norton said.
The bell rang.
“Going into round 2, after a brutal inter-round fight, Harrison is keeping his distance. Phillips is throwing a few jabs. And he comes up with A MASSIVE HOOK! HARRISON IS HIT, BUT HE DODGES ANOTHER HOOK AND THROWS A MASSIVE UPPERCUT AGAIN! HE KEEPS THROWING THEM AND- I DON’T BELIEVE IT! PHILLIPS IS DOWN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HIS CAREER! KEVIN HARRISON IS FOR REAL!” The announcer said. “1,2,3,4,5,” the ref said.
Phillips got up. And he was angry. Kevin continued to punish him for the rest of the round.
Okay. Rounds. Round one, Kevin. Round two, Kevin. Round three, Kevin. Round 4, Phillips. Round 5, Phillips. Round 6, Kevin. Round 7, Phillips. Round 8, Phillips.
It was the final round. Kevin’s face was extremely bruised and swollen. It’s the same with Phillips. Kevin’s arm kept getting punched. It was dislocated. Phillip’s ribs were broken, his nose was broken, and his jaw felt like it was about to fall off. Kevin’s jaw and nose felt the same. They walked to the center of the ring.
“You’d be lucky to survive this round,” Phillips said. “I know,” Kevin replied.
“Final round and Phillips could be taken the distance, and it’s the same with Harrison. Phillips, being aggressive, now lands a MASSIVE HOOK THAT SENDS HARRISON FLYING! HE LOOKS LIKE HE IS UNCONSCIOUS!” The announcer said. Kevin’s body lay motionless in the center of the ring.
“1,2,3,4,5,6,7,” the ref said. Kevin woke up like a man possessed and got up at 9.
All of a sudden, Kevin landed a flurry of attacks ended by a vicious uppercut that sent Phillips down. He stayed down, and Kevin won.
Kevin walked out victorious, emotionally waving goodbye to the stadium as he walked into the tunnel, knowing he would probably not return.
Everyone had their happy ending, and they all realized: Family is forever.
The end. Hope y’all enjoyed the series. God loves you. Peace.
