I threw myself down on the bed of the hotel room after the flight. It had drained the bloody hell out of me mostly because the team was having pregame jitters. They were excited and also found it extremely humorous that Connor had broken his ankle.
I did not.
I was still upset and I also felt incredibly torn about everything. Maybe he was right. Maybe I had reacted like a captain and not his boyfriend. However it was hard to separate the two when our lives were so intertwined.
Whenever one of us got injured people would always try to spin it off to make it look like one of us was to blame. I hated it. As soon as I found out, that was the first thing to come to mind and for his dad to go as far as bringing Demyan into the picture just pissed me off.
I didn't want Connor to grab his phone and fight his dad in my honor but telling him the truth would have helped. Just a simple 'Dad I tripped, none of the Coleman's were there' could have been enough for me.
