More Than A Game

Epilouge.

Looking down at the blank screen in front of me, I sighed moving the pieces of crisp white paper with cursive handwritten notes scattered on the page across the kitchen bench of my house.

Since receiving my internship with Port Adelaide, I've learnt so much from the amazing experts. I guess I must have impressed them because a few weeks after beginning the internship, they gave me the task to do a write up about the number 1 draft pick at the power house which currently didn't bother me as much since I recently meet the young boy and think very highly of him. Except for now, I can hardly think of a single word to write.

Sh*t. I cursed under my breath still keeping my eye on the blinking cursor that blinked slowly on the small screen. It sometimes surprised me how many articles I've created so far since right now I was struggling.

The kitchen was quiet with my mother gone out for shopping and Chad, who was peacefully sleeping on the couch behind me. The only sound I could hear apart from Chad's gentle breaths emerging from his gorgeous lips was the clock on the wall ticking as each second passed by.

I actually enjoyed this peaceful scenario; it allowed me to concentrate on the task at hand which was to complete a piece on Reece McKenzie. McKenzie was a talented player who had a heart of gold. I met him several times and had gained a new friendship through him. Finally after the last couple of years I found myself struggling through, I can finally say that I am at the stage of my life where I am truly happy and confident in myself and where I'm heading in life.

Sometimes I do stop and think about the obstacles I've faced in the last few years which included my near experience of witnessing death to the man I loved, the struggles of becoming thrown into the spotlight during my first few times since becoming romantically involved with Chad and of course my constant battles with love and lust. But of course when I think about these things, I use this to my advantage to grow as an individual, as a human being.

Ever since we had gotten back together during the start of the premiership season, it had felt like the relationship between Chad and myself has grown stronger. We already celebrate our two year anniversary next week and I'm super excited as I've planned something special for him. We haven't exactly moved in together since we decided we're best to take our relationship slow since we all realised how rushing into something turned out last time.

During the course of our relationship, I haven't forgotten about Ollie, whom the lustrous feelings I had for disappeared long ago. After I had broken up with at the hospital, Ollie's decided to remain single which is a decision that I'm totally supporting him with as a friend one hundred percent. As for Jessica, her relationship with James had grown so strong that sadly she decided to move to Sydney yo support him in pursing a career in food. James has recently auditioned for Masterchef and currently on the television series battling it out in the top 10.

Angus and Grace had surprisingly gotten married during the post season where they decided to go to Dubai. It was a small reception at one of the best wedding venues within the region. I was however unfortunately unable to attend as I had university commitments I obviously had to do. Rachelle however has officially become a personal trainer for the Adelaide Crows, which I know she enjoys, especially now since she gets to spend more time with Tex.

If you were wondering what happened to the few players from various other teams I managed to stay in contact with, it's all pretty good news. Jack Macrae is continuing his strong form with the Western Bulldogs. We still chat with each other and such which makes me proud of him. Kurt Tippett is also continuing his strong form for the Sydney Swans. I met up his sister at a netball match I went to last week and can I say, she is honestly one of my new favourite people. And as for Poppy, she's been going out with a chairman of a soccer club for quite a while now which is good for her, I guess. And Brayden? He's gone on to gain rave reviews from many of football's greats. As his sister, I'm really proud of how far his come and hope to see meet up with him sometime soon.
