The End Zone

Super Bowl Champion. All Pro running back. Leading rusher in the NFL. All titles I've strived for my entire career and now that I've achieved them, the pressure to maintain that status has come with a price. Anxiety is a beast. And it doesn't care that I'm supposed to look tough on the outside, it still rages within me. But hiding behind lie after lie, it's only a matter of time before everything around me starts to crumble and come to light. And when they do, the one to pick up the pieces is my best friend. Her suggestion? A road trip. Something to relax my mind and ease some of the pressure. Except, what happens when those old feelings I thought I had buried start rearing their head again? And this time, it looks like she might be feeling them back. My goal every Sunday is making it into the end zone on the field, but as the days go on, my new end zone, the place I know I can safely rest becomes a person. Mia Clark.
