Rosario, Argentina: 2002....
(Antonella's POV)

"Anto, I'll miss you" Leo said as he hugged me. Leo was officially going to Barcelona to play for them. I was kind of happy for him but sad at the same time. My best friend was leaving and I would be here in Rosario missing him.

"You promise, you will talk to me?" I asked him.

"I promise" Leo said as we hugged each other tight. I then felt tears coming down my cheeks.

"I'm going to miss you" I cried.

"Me too" Leo said as he went inside a taxi cab. Before he closed the car door, I went up to him and gave him one last kiss. Leo and I started dating since we were in the first grade. Well we thought we were. Anyway, Leo kissed me back and then I back away and I closed the car door. We both put our hands on the car window and then drew a heart around it.

Then as I backed up, the taxi cab left and I stood there crying. I then looked down at the floor as I felt my dad's hand on my shoulder.

Barcelona, Spain

(Leo's POV)

We finally had arrived to Spain but I wasn't that excited. I was upset and sad. My best friend or girlfriend wasn't here next to me. "Leo, cheer up. We're in Spain!" my brother Rodrigo said as he entered our hotel room.

I glared at him as I went inside the hotel room. "Rod, just leave him alone. He misses people" papa said.

As I passed the hotel kitchen I entered this room that wasn't too small or too big. So I claimed it. I then settled in and I laid down the bed. I then closed my eyes and started thinking about Antonella.
(Flashback)
2001

"Leo, do you think we would be the cute couple?" Antonella asked.

"Anto, I think we're the cutest couple" Leo said as he kissed Antonella's head. They had been looking at the sunset in the beach for minutes, but they were at the beach for hours. For them, it felt like thirty minutes.

"I love you" Antonella said.

"I love you more" Leo said. "I promise that nothing will keep us apart"

"You promise?"

"Always in my heart that I would never let us get apart. Not even if a gun was pointed to my head"

"Me too"

(End of flashback)

I got up from the bed feeling wetness on my cheeks. I also noticed that it was 4am. My family probably asleep already, but I was fine with it.

So I then changed into my pajamas and decided to sleep. As I closed my eyes, I kept seeing the image of Antonella. I then drifted off into sleep.
