Jay Torres. The guy I'd surfed with since I was just a grommet on the waves, unsteady and uncertain on the massive fiberglass board floating beneath me. Jay Torres, the guy I'd spent every day out on the water with. Skipping school and blowing off girlfriends for wicked swells and epic waves. Jay Torres who rose to the top with me—the only guy I could talk to and joke with when we were placed in the same heat, bobbing up and down on the water as we waited for the perfect set. Jay Torres, the dude who knew me better than I knew myself, both in the water and out of it.
Jay Torres. The guy who I'd let down, who I let drown six months ago..

I took a deep, steadying breath. I knew I wanted to be a dad...some day. I didn't think we were ready, but I'd meant it when I said I'd support whatever she wanted to do. If some day was now, then I'd be ready. I wasn't going to blow that. After the way my relationship had blown up with my dad, I wouldn't fuck it up with my kid. No way. I could live without baseball.
I couldn't live with being a shitty parent.
