The Half Back

No tears

Enzo went straight to his room once he got to the hotel. Throwing his suitcases onto the floor next to his perfectly made bed. The White duvet matching the walls, a tv was on a small glass table at the foot of the bed. Enzo dumped his backpack on a chair that was in the corner of the room, this was also white. "I wonder what Andrew would've said if he saw how white this room is" Enzo said picking out a light blue hoodie and pulling it over his messy hair which he needed to cut.

As promised Enzo was left on his own till 6:30 to roam the streets of Auckland. Walking down the street he noticed it was starting to get dark, he pulled out his phone to check the time 6:12 "crap" he muttered be for sprinting to the hotel. By the time he made it back it was pitch black he pulled out his phone once again 6:34. He walked to his room and opened the door, it swung open to his farther and step mum Jess sitting on his bed.
"I'm kinda late" Enzo suggested half heartedly
"Well let's get going then, since your here now" his father said walking towards the door. Enzo waited for them to leave then took the con-tense out of his jet black bag and lay them on the bed still in there wrapping.

Dinner was nice, but the tension was still high after last nights fight between the three of them, well Enzo onto them was a better way of putting it.
"So Enzo, your plane leaves at 7:35 tomorrow. So you'll have to get up early tomorrow ok?" His father asked
"Okay. Um will you like, visit me?" Enzo asked looking down at his empty plate
"Of course!" His father said happily "only if you want us to" his step mum added
"Yea, we'll see if I make it into the first XV" Enzo said looking up at his father. I small smile plays into his fathers lips, but it's gone in a second.
"I'm going to bed, I have a big day tomorrow" Enzo said with a yawn. Not waiting for a response he got up and walk out of the dining room down the hall to his room.

Once inside his room he turned on his phone to see if he had any messages. Nope, well no surprises there. No one ever talked to him on social media or in person, it got quite depressing. But he had to just accept that this was the way things are. He did have friends, once... But they left him once his mother died, and Enzo started to turn bad. But he moved on just like them. A sigh escapes Enzo as he frowns at the bed, trying to remember the last time he told anyone a secret. Nope, he couldn't remember. Enzo was taken over by anger, this happened every so often. But this time it was bad.
"Hey Todd" Todd looked at him like he was crazy
"Um... Ur... Class" he stuttered
"Dude we have 10 minutes" Enzo said happily
"Ok I'll be honest with you... You are a crazy fuck! Yep there I said it! You fucking happy, huh you happy Enzo... The only person to like you is now dead... Dead now go away you crazy little shit" Todd said. Venom dripping off each word. Enzo stood there watching him walk away, he was on the edge of tears. Then is when he noticed the crowed
"What? What are you looking at? Huh?" Some people turned around others walked off
"That's what I thought" he yelled
Enzo sat at the end off the bed, sobbing. He knew he should be stronger but he couldn't hold it any longer. The pain that never fully healed bugged him almost everyday.

He was woken by his alarm clock. Automatically he got up and turned his phone off, yep he used his phone as a alarm clock. This was the day, today was the day his new life began. Going back to the airport was hell for Enzo. He didn't know why, but he knew he would miss his dad and annoying step mum, it was just what he was used to.

When he got to the counter he stopped and turned around to his step mum and dad. Gave them a small wave and walked through to the waiting lounge, they had already said goodbye. No one cried but no one was expected to, Enzo he was almost glad to be leaving. Almost being the key word...

The flight to Dunedin would take 2 hours, just a little than the one hour one up to Auckland. That didn't bother Enzo though, after nearly an hour gone, and Enzo was starting to tear out his own hair, but really he should be tearing the hair out of the person in front of him, they had been on their phone the whole time bitching about someone call Jack or Jackson. The whole hour, one whole hour of bitching and still another to go. Enzo sighed, why did he have to leave? Well it's to late to turn back now. All he could do was wait. He pulled out his iPhone and turned it on, to see he had a facebook message.
