Don't Do That

EJ

As soon as Connor reminded me of all the things that had gone wrong between us it felt like I had a tonne of bricks on my chest. Most of them I had even forgotten because I was living off the high of being the star rugby player. I didn't see the destruction I caused around me.

It wasn't my goal to be a jerk. I didn't even recognize some of my actions to have such negative consequences. When his fathers jersey number was given to me I was just elated that I had a legends number that I failed to recognize that they had taken it away from Connor.

When they wanted me to be the face of the national team I didn't realize I was pushing aside the current captains. Nor did Dad's generous contribution mean anything.
