"hey. How are you?" "I'm okay" "Do you know what it is yet?" "Partial tear on my hamstring" "Oh. How long?" "It looks like a month. But you know how it is can always turn out to be longer" "Yeah. Pain?" "Not too bad now" someone spoke to him but I couldn't hear the other person "yeah" "no" "This is her on the phone. Elisa you're on speaker" "Hey how are you?" Lamine asked. "Alright" "what is it?" Pau asked. "Partial tear in the hamstring" "How long are you out for?" Hector asked softly "They said a month. I fear it'll be longer though"

I was walking well limping to class. A class in which Amine is as well which was going to be awkward since I've been ghosting him for the last 24 hours. I walked into the lecture hall and he was sitting on his usual place in the middle of the right side talking to his friend. "Are you going to sit with him?" My friend asked. "No" "Are you going to talk to him?" she asked and in that moment Amine and his friend looked at me. I broke my eye contact with Amine shortly before saying "No not yet. Maybe after class"
"are you coming to the library with me? you have a break till your next class, right?" "yeah but I'm going to talk to him" "mature approach" "yeah something new for me." I made eye contact with Amine and nodded to the side signalling to go to the side with me. He did.
"How's your leg?" "well injured" "what's up with you? why have you been ghosting me?" "I'm sorry. I just can't-" "you're ending this. Aren't you?" "Yeah. I'm sorry. I have to" "Why?" "I don't have feelings for you. I probably won't ever. There is that other guy I like and it just wouldn't be fair to you" "You're with another guy?" "I'm not with him. I just like him. I won't ever be with him." "He'd be stupid not to like you. Who is he?" "I can't tell anyone" "I think I kind of deserve to know" "he's an old friend from spain. He's really great, but doesn't think of me like that. We've known each other forever" "and you like him" "I only figured it out a couple of days ago. If I knew sooner I would've told you sooner. I think it's only fair to you" "yeah thanks" "You know you're amazing. You're a really great person. Just not the person for me which is too bad. Someone is going to be the right person for you." "Thanks. You're great too. Your friend from spain would really be an idiot" "Yeah. I really mean it though. Someone will be right for. I'm not and you deserve so much better than that. I know that's what everyone says but I really mean it" "Yeah. I hope your leg heals soon. I'll see around" I just nodded and he walked off. I put my head against the wall looking up and sighed.
I came home. My sister and her boyfriend were cooking in the kitchen. I opened the door to my room and Nat was lying in my bed while being on her phone. I laid down beside her and put my head on her shoulder. "what's up? how was uni? how's your leg?" "leg hurts. Uni was alright" "talked to amine?" "ended it with him" "seriously?" she asked shocked. "seriously" "wow. Why? Because of the other guy?" "yeah one part of it." "Who is he?" "just someone" "come on" "later" "so how was the ending things?" "amicable. He was- I don't know how to put it. Disappointed" "but no yelling? no accusations?" "no not really" "So you two are good?" "yeah. I think we could potentially in the future be friends-ish people. Anyway how is Marc?" "Good. I'm just waiting on my ring. You know he's always texting in that group of yours which I'm offended I'm not in. I've known you all longer than Pau and especially Adam. I think I qualify to be a member of the group. Anyway has Marc ever said anything about proposing?" "I can't officially tell you anything I think, but don't worry that man is planning to marry you" "Great because I moved to London for him. I expected Barcelona for years and then he moves to Chelsea" "But you love London" "I do. You love Munich too" "I do" "But Barcelona more" "I do" "I love Barcelona more too"
We just laid in my bed for hours, talking and laughing. "okay you have to tell me his name now" "You can't overreact. No making a face. No judging" "Okay" "It's uhm- it's well Hector" she initially had a shocked look on her face. She opened her mouth to say something and then closed it again. She had a neutral look on her face again before speaking up in a calm voice, "Hector as in-" "Yeah." "Oh" "Yeah" "So you want to be with him?" "I do, but it can't happen" "Why?" "What if I tell him and he doesn't like me? Or what if he does and we end up breaking up? I would've screwed up a friendship of 11 years. It would be awkward with all of the others. I could never go back to Barcelona if he's there. Not to mention how the media would react if they knew" "What if he's your soulmate and you end up spending all of your life with him?" "That's not going to happen. Even if we do get together, I live in Munich and he lives in Barcelona. We're footballers so we are on crazy schedules. We won't ever see each other. The media and fans would be terrible. I just can't. I just have to wait for it to pass"
