I had been given the Academy Award ticket from a friend team mate. I didn't even want to go, I had a baseball game to play. I've been player of year for two three seasons, and captaincy is coming my way I can feel it. My friend couldn't make it, he had a fall that broke his leg so he gave them to me. You can't turn down a gesture like that. Seems as the match wouldn't affect our place in the league, I didn't see a huge problem. Other than the fact that I don't like hate pop music. He loves it. The guys think he is batting for the other team, if you know what I mean. We don't mind. He just needs to keep his mouth shut so our rivals don't start giving us crap. So, to be a good team mate and all, I took the tickets. I guess I was the first person he saw after the fall, that must be why he chose me. Like a coincidence right. So I borrows my dads tux and drive to LA. I know it's 400 miles from San Fran but I thought it could double as a trip to see a new city. Tick it off my list. That's why I went. I got to had to stand by the barriers on the red carpet. I saw her, Rachel Marron, is that her name? I thought my friend might want some pictures, you know, because he's a big fan and he fell. So that's why I have lots of her on my that camera you took. It's expensive so be careful with it, yeah. I like to take pictures of baseball games so I need a good camera, with a good lens. It's my dad's really, he uses it more actually. I went to my seat when she everyone went inside. I got a programme, because I like to know more about what I am watching and when each performance bit begins. I sat for a while and thought about my team. I hoped they were winning. The awards took ages to start so I kept thinking about baseball, the sport I play. When it started I watched and realised I needed the toilet. I'd not been since before the red carpet and wasn't too bothered about missing Rachel because I'm not a fan like my team mate. I probably should have stayed to take pictures but I got a lot on the camera. That's why there are so many on it. It's big in that place so it took me a while to find the toilet and it's so far away that's probably why I didn't hear a gun shot loud bang. When I got back everyone was screaming and the awards had stopped and I wasn't sure what had happened but I hope they catch him.
