Go live your way Part 2

Ohne Titel Teil22

The next two days went by in a flash. Juanma, Zoe and Mia finished the English exam on Thursday and Juanma and Mia rehearsed whenever there was time for the performance on Saturday. Juanma's pain kept coming back, but it hadn't gotten worse. He hoped he would be spared an operation.

Gaspar came on Thursday evening as promised. Mia and Juanma met him on the GO. He had incorporated the songs of Mia and Juanma very well. It didn't take long for Zoe to join them. Juanma's eyes darkened when he saw how warmly Gaspar and Zoe greeted each other. The fact that their eyes kept meeting while rehearsing didn't make the situation any easier for him. Alvaro came to the go a little later. He had still played basketball with the boys. Mia suggested a short break when Alvaro came because she wanted to sit with him for a moment.

She sat on Alvaro's lap and Juanma sat next to Zoe and put his arm around her. Gaspar looked at her and Zoe suddenly got up and asked "Gaspar would you like something to drink too, I can get something for everyone from the cafeteria."
"Oh yes, thank you very much," said Gaspar.
"For you as always?," she said to the others.
"I'll go with you," said Mia.
On the way Mia said "Did you want to run away from Juanma now?" " No why?" asked Zoe. "It looked a bit like that. As soon as he sits down next to you, you get up."
"I ... Gaspar looked at me like that and I didn't want to rub that under his nose."
"But you're not serious now. You're with Juanma and you don't want to hurt Gaspar? But you hurt Juanma if you walk away from him like that. You confirm his fear."
Zoe said nothing more. When they came back, Alvaro was involved in a conversation with Gaspar about various musicians. Juanma listened to the two. Zoe and Mia distributed the drinks. Zoe sat down by Juanma again and took his hand.
"Are we going to do another round?" asked Gaspar. Mia immediately agreed, Juanma nodded. They had always rehearsed little pieces, once Gaspar, once Mia and Juanma and the three of them sang a few things.
When it got late and Gaspar said goodbye, Alvaro took Mia in his arms. " I'm so proud of you.I love to see you on stage. "She returned his hug." And I love it when you are there when I sing. "

"And I love you" said Alvaro and smiled at Mia. "You are my calm, my strength and my trust."

"I can only give that back. I don't even know what it was like without you."

They went to the dorms together. Zoe and Juanma stayed a bit behind.

"everything ok" asked Zoe Juanma

"When Gaspar is there you are completely different. You don't stand by me. And then none of this between us makes any sense." With that he wanted to turn around. Zoe held him tight.

"But that's not true ..."

"Yes it is," interrupted Juanma. "Everything is ok between us. As long as neither Gaspar nor Roberto is around. It's been better with Roberto since he is with Clara. But Gaspar .... Zoe if you still have feelings for him, then take the time and think about what you want. "

With that he pulled his arm out of Zoe's grasp and walked across the dark courtyard-

Alvaro and Mia were still standing in front of the girls' bedrooms when Zoe walked past them. As she passed without a word and with bowed head, the two knew immediately that something must have happened and looked at each other questioningly. Alvaro took a deep breath and said "You Zoe ,me Juanma?" Mia nodded, gave him a kiss and made her way to her room.

Alvaro had a harder time, he didn't know where Juanma was. He knocked on Fede's door but Fede told him Juanma wasn't there. He offered to look to help, but Alvaro initially refused. The next point was the sports hall. Then there he was, sitting on one of the benches. Alvaro sat down next to him.

"Was that what I imagined, or is Zoe weird when Gaspar is there?" Alvaro shook his head.

"Mia had already told her something about that."

"That doesn't change the fact that she is like that. I try to trust her and then she is like that."
"I can understand you, Juanma. But I'm sure she doesn't mean it."
"I told her to think about what she wanted. I won't go on like this. I really love her, but I can't."

Alvaro put a hand on Juanma's shoulder. "It will work itself out again, I'm sure of that."

Zoe was locked in the bathroom when Mia walked into the room. Mia knocked and after a moment Zoe opened the door. She was crying. "What happened" asked Mia.
"Juanma broke up."
"He didn't," Mia said, slightly questioning.
"But he did, he said I should think about what I want and left." with that she fell around Mia's neck.

"But Zoe, it hurts him if you always distance yourself from him when Gaspar is up."
"Gaspar had such a sad look when Juanma put her arm around me. I had the impression it hurts him."

"He's hurt you too. And even if I'm not in favor of taking revenge, but he has to go through that now. How would you like it if Juanma pulls his arm away as soon as Lupe shows up."
Zoe nodded.
"You're right Mia."
Mia's cell phone peeped and Alvaro had written that Juanma was now with Fede and he was in his room. "The boys went to sleep. Let him calm down now and tomorrow everything will be fine." Zoe would have liked to talk to Juanma now, but knew that it would make no sense. Mia briefly wrote to Juanma that Zoe was sorry but that she had advised her not to start talking now. Juanma replied that he was going to sleep now and that it was better that way.
