What if i told you i love you?

Five

I arrived at training this morning in a rather bad mood. My teammates could tell i was in a mood because they didn't talk to me, they left me alone which i'm thankful for. I'm in a mood because of my parents, mainly my mum. I know i told Mapi that i wouldn't care if they accepted me or not, but when she called me a freak, it hurt.

No one bothered me throughout training and no one was bothering me after training, well, no one was bothering me. Mapi decided to come over to me, she looked at me and smirked, i rolled my eyes and stared at her.

"Piss off León"
I said to her, but she just looked at me confused.

"I don't know what that means"
She pouted.

"She basically just told you to fuck off"
Jana said as she looked between me and Mapi.

"Oh, right"
Mapi said, but instead of walking away which i expected her to do, she pulled me into her arms where i instantly broke down. I was now getting concerned looks from my teammates as i was crying in Mapi's arms.

"Hey, i've got you"
She whispered, but i didn't respond, i couldn't.

"Do you want to tell me what happened?"

"My mum called me a freak. I told her i was gay"
I said as i sobbed into Mapi's shoulder.

"You're not a freak, i promise, okay? Emi, you're incredible"

"I- okay"

"Now please stop crying because you'll make me cry"

"S-she-"
I tried to speak but i couldn't.

"It's okay. Let it all out"
And that's exactly what i done.

For a few minutes i stood in Mapi's arms as i cried my absolute heart out. The team were aware of the situation but they didn't interrupt, they just looked at me and Mapi in awe. It was Alexia that took me from Mapi. She led me to a quite corner of the locker room before pulling me in for a tight loving hug.

"¿Estás bien?"
I chuckled despite the tears.

"Ale, i'm not fluent just yet"

"Of course. I said, are you okay?"

"Yeah"
I lied and Alexia knew that.

"I don't buy it"

"I was on the phone to my mum and dad yesterday"

"Is that bad?"
She questioned.

"Yeah, we don't really get on. They kind of hate me. Anyway we were arguing and my mum called me a freak when she found out that i like girls"

"Oh kid, it's okay. Some people won't accept you, and to you that will hurt, but if they don't accept you then they simply don't deserve you. You're happy so who cares who you like. If you like boys, cool. If you like girls, cool. If you like both, cool. As long as you're happy it doesn't and shouldn't matter"
I started crying again but this time because Alexia saying what she said means the world to me. My mum hasn't done that for me, but Alexia has.

"Muchísimas gracias"
Thank you very much.

"So you do know Spanish"
Alexia said as she smiled brightly.

"Mapi taught me a little"

"Did she now?"

"Yeah, also we kissed five times"
Alexia's jaw dropped and i just laughed.
