Left on Base

Situationship; A romantic or sexual relationship that is not considered to be formal or established.

Welcome to the game Jaxon Ryan and I are playing.

In a situationship, just like in baseball, there are rules:

✓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.
