Who Knew Rugby Could Be So Complicated?

Not Again

The next few months went even quicker, I daredn't blink otherwise I'd be 60 and retired. Weeks went by and nothing exciting happened. The team still remained top of the table. We were in reaching distance of the Tyrell Cup. Emma started missing practices a lot more, she was barely around. That much so, if she misses another practice she will be off the team. I couldn't help but think Harry had something to do with this. even though we had our differences we still remained kind of close.

Training finished, only a few more weeks until the play off games with Loughborough, I always wondered what it was like to play against Abbi and Charly in a final. The coach kept reminding us that we need to take the title back after my win last year with Loughborough. Everyone tried to text Emma and see what she was playing at but nothing. She wasnt on social media, she seemed to be MIA. I worried more and more about her the less and less we heard from her. I knew what it was like to be with Harry and I really hoped he had changed.

I rang Owen after practice. ''Hey Baby, whats up? Im just shopping with Oliver'' ever since I moved down here Owen insisted on doing the family shopping instead of sending the housekeeper. Of course we still had the housekeeper, it was nice not having everything to do myself considering how messy the boys are. ''I have a bad feeling about Emma, Im going to go over to her place and see if shes ok. Can you come with?'' he groaned. ''Well you're definitely not going there by yourself. Ill meet you at home in 10'' i sped home, like a lunatic. Quickly got changed out of my training gear and met Owen on the drive. ''I will drop Oliver at Holly's for an hour while we sort this'' I nodded and off we drove to Hollys.

Of course, Holly moaned like she always did, playing the pregnancy card and how she couldnt look after him because she could barely move. Once Holly decided to stop moaning, we started off the journey to the otherside of London to Emmas. ''Dont worry babe, it will be ok no matter what'' Owen tried to comfort me but I just had a feeling something wasnt right.

We arrived at Emma's and of course there were two cars on the drive. I took the slowest steps to the doorstep, leaving Owen in the car and before I could even knock the door swung open. ''What do you want?'' he spat. ''I was wondering if Emma would like to go for a coffee, I havent seen her in ages'' I put my sweetest voice on ''Emma's busy right now'' he tried to slam the door on me, but i stopped it with my foot. ''Let me come in and see her just for 5 minutes'' he shook his head, I made signals behind my back to Owen, who magically appeared by my side. ''Come on pal'' Owen tried his sweetest voice with his sternest face. Harry was adiment not to let us in. But Owen just stormed in the house pushing Harry to a side. Dont think Harry's navy strength was any match to Owen's Rugby strength. ''Emmmaaaa'' I called out, i heard something and ran up the stairs.

''Emma, what are you doing?'' i burst into her bedroom, where she looked awful. Harry followed me in. ''Get out of my house. NOW'' he screamed. I wasnt scared of him anymore. ''Emma, shall we go for a coffee?'' she looked at Harry and shook her head. ''I miss you, come on'' she nodded slowly. ''No shes not going anywhere'' Harry grabbed Emma's arm. ''I think she is'' Owen towered over him, holding him by his collar. Owen escorted Harry out the room. I had never seen this side of Owen, but it didnt scare me. If anything in a weird way it made me more attracted to him. ''Emma, grab some clothes youre staying with me'' I grabbed some clothes and packed them into the nearest bag i could find. ''No he loves me and I love him. I could never leave him'' I felt sick, he didnt love her. He wont ever love anyone.

I heard Owen and Harry scream at each other as I forced Emma to leave the house. ''Emma whats that bruising all over your arm?'' she looked so scared, she stayed quiet. ''Did Harry do this?'' she widened her eyes. ''I know, ive been there. You dont have to be scared anymore, I will look after you'' she burst in to tears. ''He wouldnt let me do anything and then when I did something he wouldnt like he would hit me and take everything off me. He laughed at all the texts and calls I was getting off the girls and said they will forget me soon'' she was a mess, she couldnt stop crying. ''Stay with me and well get this sorted once and for all'' she hugged me. Owen ran to the car, leaving Harry in the house. He sped off pretty quick, Harry came running after the car waving his fists about. ''Its okay, youre safe now'' Owen reassured Emma.

I stayed quiet, as the flashbacks of my relationship with Harry flooded my memory. When will he become history and stay history?
