"Coach uh, I think you need to come outside," Scott says as he poked his head in my office as I'm writing out reports. Something i hate doing but Ryan insists that i do this weekly. When really I'd rather watch paint dry.

"can it not wait; Ryan will be up my ass if i don't finish these" i said showing him the stack i still had to do. I can definitely see myself taking these home too.

"It's Theo, he's practically lost it on Jenn's boyfriend " Scott said nervously. At his words I practically launched out of my seat.

As soon as i made it to the gym i saw that Theo had Jackson pinned to the wall as Jenn cried behind them.

"Scott a little help" i wheezed out as i struggled to get Theo off him.

It wasn't hard to figure out what exactly was going on but i had to get them away from each other before Ryan saw this. Theo could get into deep shit.

Scott finally managed to get Theo off of Jacob.

Jenny ran infront of Jacob, kneeling. " i'm so sorry baby"

I pull Theo back as Jacob just stares at her, he doesn't smile like he normally does and he doesn't look like he wants to comfort her as she cries.

"I just didnt expect this from you, i love you and this is how you repay me," Jacob said above a whisper.

I stared at him and Jenn.

Theo adjusts his jacket. " sorry man" Theo says as he also puts the pieces together finally.

"It's fine, i just need some time" Jacob pushes himself off the wall and passes Jen without even looking her way. As soon as he disappears Jenn completely breaks down. Theo moves forward and wraps his arms around her.

" I didnt mean to, i i didnt mean to kiss that guy Theo. He hates me now" she sobs into his chest.

Myself and Scott were lost for words. I dont think i ever expected Jenn to do that. She was always so confident with her relationship.

I rubbed her back. " He doesn't hate you. He just needs time, you know how much he loves you alright, so just give him space" i told her.

This is why relationships are risky when you're focused on your career. This isn't just any school this is where you make your career.

" Take todays training off" i said nodding at Theo.

Theo smiled at me as he pulled Jenny along with him as he headed out. When it was just me and Scott i finally breathed.

" I've never seen Jacob like that" scott whispered.

I nodded, me either.

" get ready, I'll be in shortly" i said as i headed back into my office.

I knew that the next week would be difficult for both of them if they didn't sort this out soon, i need to be real with her but i also need to remember that she's going through it right now.

After training i stayed back in the office and finished off those reports. I could have just taken them home but i also know that i'll probably get too distracted with anything else. If I'm here at my desk its more likely that i will complete it.

It's weird that the traits I learnt whilst studying still stays.

I filed them into my cabinet and grabbed my stuff. It was already 9 so it was pretty late. The girls from netball were practicing late in the hall.

I headed out and walked past the pitch on my way to my car. I noticed that Jacob was still here. I had thought he headed home but i guess he stayed back.
