it was the day before the big lacrosse game and chris was absolutely shitting himself. he had never been more scared in his life. luckily dejah had been helping him along the way, and he's got his support from his team and his family and friends but he can't just shake away the thought of jude winning. he hated the thought. he knew he would never live it down if jude actually won.
sometimes on a night time he would watch jude's instagram highlights on his performances so he could try and find ways to out skill him. it was putting way too much pressure on him and he was beginning to get bad anxiety from it all. he tried to act like he didn't care, but secretly he did. he also didn't want to talk about his worries to people as he knew they all had stuff going on in their life that is probably worse than what he's going through and he didn't want to scare people. especially matt, the one person he would usually go to for this kind of thing he felt as though he couldn't. he knew he had a lot going on with abbie and jude so talking about such a sensitive topic to him probably wouldn't be the best thing to do. so ideally he just bottled up all his emotions.
it was another one of those nights where he was up late watching jude through this phone. he decides that he is going to call bryce, not really expecting him to answer as it's late but to his surprise he picks up, "how's it going man?" he says in a groggy voice.
chris hears his tone of voice and grows guilty, "sorry, did i wake you up?" he asks, not getting a reply straight away.
bryce starts to chuckle slightly, "nah, i just haven't slept for a few days. just worrying about the game. it's my first ever proper game in front of a shit ton of people. i guess i'm just nervous." he replies. chris begins to feel a wave of guilt as he's put so much pressure on his back.
"it's gonna be fine man trust me. you're an amazing player and you're going to bring our team to victory. i know i push you to the max and you probably hate me most of the time, but it's because i know you're an awesome player and i want you to do well. i'll let you get off, i was just calling to make sure you were okay. try get some sleep." whispers chris, hearing bryce say his goodbyes before he ended the phone. he sat there in silence for a minute, thinking about all the bad things that could happen. it honestly made his anxiety worse if he was being completely honest.
the morning of the game came by especially fast and chris and matt were eating their breakfast in the kitchen while nick was recording their first half of the vlog in the other room. matt seemed fine and in way he seemed ready and excited, chris on the other hand was stressing about everything. jude just really messed with his head and he had to beat him as if his life depended on it. maybe all this built up stress was going to be good as he can use his anger towards the game and hopefully play good, "do you want the rest of my toast, i'm full as shit." asks matt, sliding the plate over to chris.
