Can you help me or not?
Cameron
I’ll see what I can do
I think Nils mentioned an opening
Bodhi
I’ll take it!
Cameron
I have no say in that, Bode
Also funny coming from the guy who’s always made it his mission to not get things in life because of me
Bodhi
Yeah well I need a job
I’ll go back to not being a nepo baby after
Cameron
You’re not a nepo baby
Bodhi
Come on, Cam
I’ll love you forever if you put in a good word for me
Cameron
You’ll love me forever, regardless
I’m the best big brother
Bodhi
I really regret saying that…
A Monday morning jog around City Park is always the breath of fresh air I need.
But not today.
Today, I’m still in my fucking head over that phone call with my dad yesterday, and I can’t seem to let it go.
My twenty-nine years on this earth have been like this. My dad has always wanted to live vicariously through me, but I have todo ithisway. And when I don’t, he won’t hesitate to let me know how he feels.
He micromanages every game, ready to go over every single mistake I make. Says he wants “the Kovacic name” to mean something.
I’ve spent a decade making a name for myself in this sport, and he seems to have no idea that it won’t reflect on him. Wedon’thave the same last name… technically.
I’m Cameron Kovacic. He’s Ivor Kovacic. The same but different. My father kept the Croatian version, and I simplified it once I started college.
I wanted to separate myself from him. Be myownperson.
