Welcome to the game Jaxon Ryan and I are playing.
In a situationship, just like in baseball, there are
✓In public, you’re friends. Nothing more.
✓If he’s talking to another girl, turn and walk away.
✓Never tell him you want more and most importantly…
✓Definitely do not think he has actual feelings for you.
It was supposed to be simple.
No feelings.
Just fun.
Strike three for me because I broke every rule and I’m moments from Olivia Rodrigo writing a song about my life.
Even though we keep making the same errors, inning after inning, nobody knows Jaxon like I do. Nobody knows our past. Nobody understands the pressures we have as college athletes. Nobody knows because we vowed never to talk about it and he’d never break a promise, right?
Wrong.
Final rule… Never take your eye off the ball, and never trust anyone.
Bases loaded, bottom of the ninth… Jaxon assumes I’m always going to be waiting for him.
