I MISS ROWAN. Point taken, I miss her so much for the past months i've spent without her. I had gotten her back then got her taken away from me just like that. I haven't seen her since her birthday.
My birthday passed some times ago, she had spare tickets into the London Sky Garden. Part of me couldn't go because I had to train since it was Euro's 2020 and that I was still in love with her.
I had somewhat become good friends with Blanche during them past months and no, she wasn't a replacement for Rowan. No one could care for me more than her even though she hurt me.
"Kai!" Tate snapped me out of my thoughts. She continued to make dinner for me, her, Val, Jace and Gray.
"I'll forever be thankful that you've finally moved into this big ass house. No more crappy apartment!" Valentina squealed and helped herself through my cupboards as if this was her own home.
I would cry a river if I had to live with Valentina. Poor Grey.
"Valentina!" I grab her wrist and gently pull her back to the sofa besides me, "You took the snacks..." I shyly mumbled and continued to eat the packet of crisps.
Val snuggled close to me and placed her head on my lap and with her toes on her boyfriends lap. Grey currently his dog on top of his lap as well as Val's feet. "Uh," Tate snaps, "get your head off my boyfriends lap."
Boyfriend?
"Watch your mouth, his heart will forever be for Rowan. Not you." Val threw a cushion towards her as she continued cooking.
"Please, isn't she dating some rapper. Jack Harlow?" Ouch. She wasn't wrong thought, they've been dating for a while now. I was simply mad yet upset by that.
Also, she hasn't followed me on instagram yet. Bummer.
"Tate, did you really have to mention him." Jace shook his head in disappointment. I hate Jack so much, even if I hadn't 'officially' met or talked to him. I hate that he was with my girl.
"Kai you need to get over her." Tate states "It's been 8 months, they're clearly going strong." Not forever hopefully. Oops.
Valentina casually started scrolling through instagram before sending one of the most horrific screams one could do. "Val!" I wince.
"Oh. My. God. Guys!" Valentina squealed loudly and removed her head from my lap. "Rowan is back in London!" Valentina hasn't seen her for ages, she misses her so much.
"No way?" Jace stood up from his place and looked through her phone. He intensely stared into the screen as he stood in-front of the telly, "Damn I see why she's obsessed with Jack Harlow."
I threw a cushion at him.
"Uh, excuse me?" Jace placed his hand on his hip, "You won't get Rowan back with that attitude, Havertz."
Val laughed before setting the dining table up, she took out the plates from the cupboards whilst I set out the cutlery. Grey and Jace just kept themselves on the couch, lazy.
"Speaking of Rowan, did you know she was at the Champions League final but she didn't go with Blanche." I paused my actions. The thought of Rowan actually watching me win the winning goal sounded crazy to me.
I wish I saw her that day.
"God i'm fed up with all this bullshit about Rowan, why can't any of you accept that she left all of you first time. She's even left you all again for some rapper." Tate scoffs. Me and Val made eye contact, she was this close to beating her up with that wooden spoon in her hand.
"She didn't have a choice..." I shyly mumbled under my breathe.
"God just give it a rest Tate, why can't you accept that we never wanted you here. You just followed us after Riley, i've been patient for years with you." Val snaps. She brought her plate of food and then slammed the bathroom door shut.
"Ill go deal with her." Grey deeply sighed before walking over to the table and grab his food, he entered the bathroom where Val was then shut the door.
So much for dinner then...

"Rowan! Neymar!" I yelled after them as her and Neymar ran away with my football, "Give me my football back!" We had a good laugh.
"Okay, Rowan. Give the ball back." We panted heavily. Rowan gave me a snarl look before throwing the ball back to me.
"But I'm so bored, you two always play football." She sent the most cutest pout i've ever seen. She placed herself on the grass and sat crossed leg away from me.
"I'm sorry..." I sat behind her and wrapped my arms around her chest, "i'm sorry, i'm sorry, i'm sorry." I repeated each time with a kiss on her head.
"Psh, go back to Ney." At this point, I already knew she was joking with me now.
"Psh, you'll always be my favourite Santos." Thirteen year old me laughs and placed one kiss on her cheek. The pair of us could hear Neymar gag behind us.
"Uh, teenage love these days." He kicked my football far into the far distance of the field, "Didn't you guys already plan your wedding or something?"
"Your point?" Ro scoffs. She turns around and attacked me with a heartfelt hug. I immediately reacted and laid down with her head on my chest.
"Can we have mcdonald's?" I shyly asked. Rowan's head shot up as she furiously nods her head. "Ney!" Rowan yells, "Can we get mcdonald's, pleaseee?"
Neymar rolled his eyes at both of us before running towards the football he had kicked elsewhere. "Danger incoming..." I tilt my head to the side to see Tate and Riley, plus their group of friends, walking towards us.
Rowan immediately sat up and stood in-front of me. I hate that i'm defenceless, I also hate that i'm shy. I've been trying to work on that for ages.
"Would you look at that, it's the wannabe footballer. It'll never happen." Riley laughs loudly before throwing a empty plastic bottle towards us, Rowan caught it in a instant flash.
"Shut up, don't you ever get annoyed with her voice Tate?" Rowan causally groans before putting the bottle in a near by recycling bin.
"The only thing that's annoying is you and shy boy over there. As if you're talented to kick a ball around, you can't even speak." I didn't respond, "See, point taken. How can you be a footballer if you can't even stand up to yourself" I felt saddened by Tate's words.
"Hey, hey..." Neymar sternly looked at Riley with the football tightly around his arms, "you two alright?" He dropped the ball to the ground and wraps an arm between mine and Ro's shoulders.
A few tears fell from my eyes. Neymar was first to notice and walked us out of there with the football tightly against my hands. I wiped my tears with my hands with Rowan hugging my chest.
"One day, you'll be playing for the best football team in history. And when you do, you have every right to show off how talented you are." Rowan smiles.
I will play for the best football team in history, I can feel it.
