We decided to uber it to the stadium as none of us were familiar with the area. I defintely wasnt driving, I needed a drink! Families were arriving. I thought I seen Oliver with the woman on Owen's Instagram. Maybe it was just a boy that looks like him. I shook the thought out my head. We walked towards the entrance, we managed to get into the tigers box thanks to Ben and Ellis. We were joined by Ben's parents and other players family.

We got a bottle of wine between us. Of course not a lot of people knew who we was. Some people tried to talk to us. Others recognised us from womens rugby. We spoke to a few people but when the game started the little and awkward small talk stopped.

I held my breathe everytime Owen took a tackle. The score wasnt very tight, saracens took the lead. Which we all expected. Saracens was the better team. At half time, Ben and Owen walked off the pitch together. He said something to him which caused him to look in our direction. He better of not told him I'm here. I'm going to kill Ben! First told him where I'm staying and now told me I'm in the building.

The girls both looked at me. I stormed over to the bar and ordered. "One jager bomb and a double vodka lemonade" I should probably stop drinking at rugby matches. I will end up making a fool of myself with alcohol or doing something I regret later on. But that's the chance I'm willing to take today. My phone vibrated, I hate this damn phone.
Owen;
Hey, you didn't tell me you were here? Maybe grab a coffee after?
Xxx

Urgh what an idiot, I angrily replied. My fingers were moving faster than my brain

No we will not grab a coffee later, just leave me alone. You havent contacted me in weeks, I tried calling and texting you. Nothing! I needed you and you weren't there. So why should I get coffee with you? Anyway you've got your girl anyway now ain't you? You dont need me.
Dont contact me ever again

I felt so much better after that. The game started again. Owen looked so angry when he walked back out looking up towards our box. I just chuckled. "What did you do?" Abbi scowled at me. "Just the truth" I smiled innocently and they snatched the phone out my hand. "You are so foolish but so truthful" I scoffed at the pair of them. They did not approve and gave me a very long lecture, defending Owen. I hated how much confidence this alcohol gave me. I was like a different person.

The game went by fast, I didnt really pay attention but of course Saracens won. Owen was very aggressive on the pitch. But I really hated how he won. I really hoped he lost. Is that mean? I dont care. I kept thinking back to the six nations when it was me and Oliver. I missed that little man so much.

When the game finished we left the stadium. I had a little bit of a swagger going on. The girls just rolled their eyes and guided me Ben's car. I leant against the range rover holding myself steady. "AMELLIIAAA" the little voice rang through my ears. I spun round to find Oliver running towards me. I dreaded this. He jumped on my legs and hugged them so tight. "Hey buddy, you alright?" He nodded. "Come on Oliver" the blonde woman tried to get Oliver away. "I'm staying with Amelia!" He protested. I got down to his level, even though my balance wasnt great. "Ollie" he looked up to me. "We can go for ice cream soon" I hated that I was lying to a Child. He nodded and wrapped his arms around me.

I saw Owen leaving the stadium with Ben. His eyes lit up when he seen me and Oliver. "Look Oliver, Daddys over there" he whined at me. "But I miss you Amelia" I had to fight the tears. "I know buddy, i miss you too. But you've got to go with Daddy and this lady and I'll see you very soon" "can you walk with me to Daddy? I'll race you?" I looked at the girls they tried to encourage me to do it. "I cant, I havent got my running shoes on and you dont want me to fall over, do you?" I was swaying anyway so running is probably not the best idea. He giggled and went running to Owen, who swooped him up. I tried to get in the car but it was locked. Ben scrambled to find his keys.

I opened the car door and an arm grabbed me. "Amelia, please" I shook my arm out of his grip. "What Owen?" He pushed Oliver in his car with his new lady friend. "You've moved on, you dont want or need me so I've got to get on with my life" he laughed. "That" he couldnt get his words out. "That is my" "for god sake Owen spit it out" "that is my sister" I could feel my self burning up.

"Anyway I meant what I said in my text! Goodbye Owen, tell Oliver I had to go away for a long time" he tried to stop me getting in the car. I jumped in and locked the car door so he couldnt open it.

"DRIVE NOW" Ben stepped on it and sped out the car park. Leaving Owen stood there with his head in his hands.
