The 18 Reasons I Love You - Sam Walsh

Chapter 62

^ this photo literally makes me want to cry... 

(Em's POV)

Since the boys are playing on Sunday, there will be a hard training session today and a very easy one tomorrow.

For once in my life I am actually up before Sam so I decide that I should try to let him to continue to sleep until his alarm goes off.

I head downstairs to see if anyone else is up, and to my surprise Zac is up

"Morning" I say as I head to over to the coffee machine and start to brew a cup

"Morning, how did you sleep after last night" he asks me 

"Last night was fun, but definitely am feeling the affects of last night" I tell him as I grab the almond milk out of the fridge 

"Did you even drink" Zac asks me 

"Nah, but I reckon it was just from sleeping somewhat late and bring up right now" I tell him 

"Yeah, Bell is still asleep" Zac says 

"How's she feeling" I ask him and I join him at the counter

"Good, I mean from what she tells me" Zac says 

"Does she have any morning sickness" I ask him 

"Nope, thank god, I think that would make her feel even more, or I know it would" Zac explains 

"Thank god, she doesn't need that" I say and Zac nods

"You have to come into physio today" I tell him 

"Yeah I know, but I don't want to get the answer I think I'll get, what do you think"

"Zac, I really can't tell you, you might be fine by the Crows game, but if we risk putting you could do more damage and you could be out for even longer" 

"Yeah, I know, but I just got back and I miss it" 

"If you take this round off, you will most likely play next round" I tell him for like the hundredth time 

"Yeah yeah, I just wish I could play a whole season which getting injured" Zac says

"You will someday, it wont be this season, but if you keep up with rehab, you could easily do it next season" I tell him and he nods 

"Will you find out what's happened with Gibbo and Pitto today" Zac asks me 

"Yeah, I mean we already suspect that Mick will be out for probably the rest of the season which his hamstring, but we need to see the scans for Pitto, but hopefully he will be back for the last couple of rounds" I tell him 

"Fuck, that mean De Koning will have to ruck by himself this week" 

"What about Cas" I ask him 

"He will probably get suspended from a tackle in the VFL" Zac says

"Jesus, who else will help out" I ask 

"Who knows, maybe Harry in the forward line, Jonesy in the defense and maybe Pat, but honestly I have no idea, especially with Mcdonald still in physio" Zac says 

"Jesus, injuries haven't been great this season"

Definitely not, but how knows Charlie could be coming back in"

"Yeah"

"Do you not agree"

"Well, if the season is already over, I reckon we should just play him in the VFL to make sure that his body is ready and he doesn't re-injury himself and that he is fully prepared to come into the 2022 season"
