#it goes amsterdam aged 14 / london aged 23

[tartt9]

no you know what fuck it im elaborating

he left his hometown club, his childhood club, the club he was raised supporting and playing for their academy. the club that had the only man to canonically support him within football in his young adult years pre-ted, and pep supported him genuinely, emotionally, and wholeheartedly. pep is not a gaffer afraid to hug his players, to cry in front of his players, he's a man who would've been a great positive example of masculinity for jamie. because his dad was making him feel so unsafe that he felt like his only choice was to leave manchester for a few weeks to do something (anything) else

and when he gets kicked off of lust (bc lust wasn't something that was going to last forever and jamie knew that) he thought he'd go back to pep. "if pep'll have me", he said, when he was asked what his plans were - he'd go back to city. and what he gets is not pep, he gets city's director of football on live tv telling him no. he has to grapple with losing everything while in front of cameras zoomed in on his face. he will never get a hug from pep in the dressing room again. he'll never feel pep's hands on his shoulders, his back, as he preps him to be substituted into a match. he'll never hear pep's voice telling him exactly how to play, and when he's pulled out, that he played his best.

and then he goes to see his manager. and his manager tells him that no club wants him. he refuses to call spanish or italian clubs and just tells jamie nobody wants him. he suggests jamie goes to do another reality tv show that'll have him so drugged out of his mind he won't even act like himself. so, in front of jamie, his two options are: never have football/a source of income again or knowing his genetics, develop a possible drug addiction just to keep himself financially stable (and coming from a boy who grew up on a council estate, money's something that terrifies him)

so he has one final option. beg the man who sent him back to city the day after jamie revealed his biggest secret for a spot on his team back. the man who saw jamie's father literally abusing him in his clubhouse and did nothing about it, told no one about it, just walked away. so jamie begs. he literally says he needs richmond. and ted says no.

so he's got nothing. he's got no city, no other clubs, no richmond. he's got the option to do reality tv and most likely develop a drug addiction or alcoholism – leading him to becoming his father, in his mind. he's just barely 23, and he has nothing. he has the money in his bank account, but that'll inevitably go dry, because money never lasts forever.

it's a wonder he was okay enough to pick up ted's call that changed the no to a yes.

you ever rewatch 2x02 and think about how depressed/scared jamie is at that time or just me
