It’s a home game for Tommen and a nearby school called Hartley. It’s a highly anticipated match since their rivalry has spanned for years.

Your bestfriend, Gibsie, is currently on the pitch. You’ve been watching the 7 jersey for the whole match, since rugby is a contact game you often get a bit worried for his safety.

The score is 21-21, tied, and there’s just a minute left of the game. You watch as Gibsie chases for the ball, trying to set up a winning pass to Johnny. The ball gets kicked in the air and Gibsie, along with two Harley guys spring up into the air to get it. They’re all very high in the air, Gibsie manages to graze the ball, making it fly towards Johnny who jumps and grabs it and sprints for a touchdown. They’re Hartley guys knock into Gibsie during the jump and you watch as he gets pummelled to the ground.

The whistle blows, Johnny scores. Tommen wins.

Gibsie gets up with the help of Feely and they celebrate, you can see Gibsie’s pained expression as he and the others walk over to the locker room. You glance at Shannon who’s been watching.

“I’m gonna go check on Gibs.” You mumble, Shannon nods.

“I’ll come, I wanna congratulate Johnny.” She smiles and you both make your way over to the locker room.

Upon entrance, it’s pretty empty since the guys are all in the shower room already, Johnny exits the shower and him and Shannon begin speaking. You wait by the Gibsie’s things. Soon enough he exits with a towel around his waist. Bruises litter his torso and jaw.

“There’s my girl.” He grins stupidly and pulls you in for a hug.
