PART 5

You finally arrived back in Madrid.
It was the only place where you actually felt like home.
You took a cab and went directly home.
You remembered that your family texted you after the game, but you didn't read their messages anymore.

"Hi sweetie, I know losing the opportunity to win the World Cup is hard, but you've got to stay strong. We love you and we're very proud of you <3" -mum

"Your mum's right. We love you and it's alright if you don't feel like talking to any of us today. Text us when you feel better." -dad

You only read the messages, you didn't feel like answering.
You felt like a disappointment to your family.

After you got home, you took a quick shower and went to your room.
You were scrolling through instagram, about to fall asleep.
You then looked at the time and saw that it was already 22:38, so you just went to sleep.

In the morning, you felt better again.
The feeling of being home is the best.

You then checked your phone to see if you got any notifications.

"Morning, have you arrived yet? :)" -Xhaka

You forgot to text him when you arrived last night.

"Good morning! Yes, I arrived last night, but I forgot to text you. Sorry.".
You replied to his message.

"Ah, don't worry. Atleast you got home safely" -Xhaka

It seemed that he really cared about you.

You texted with him for some time, before you talked with your manager, Carlo Ancelotti. Apparently some teams were interested in signing you.

Ancelotti then sent you a list of the teams that were interested.

Bundesliga:
-Bayern Munich

Serie A:
-AC Milan
-Napoli

Premier league:
-Liverpool
-Tottenham
-Arsenal

Your eyes brightened up when you saw the three Premier League teams at the bottom of the list.
This would be your chance to go to England.

But the problem was, which team would you pick?

You always wanted to play for Liverpool since you were just a little kid. But Arsenal didn't sound bad, knowing that you would also be closer to him.

So you told Ancelotti that you needed a bit more time to think about it.

You then decided to text some of your teammates, who have also been eliminated. Those being your good friend Federico and Eden Hazard.

The three of you then went to play some football and chatted a little bit.

"So Y/N, care to tell us who that guy, you've been hanging out with is?"
Fede asked.

"What do you mean?" You asked him, confused.

"You know what we mean, Y/N.", said Eden, "That guy from Switzerland.".

"Nothing is going on between us", you said.

"As if we didn't see him looking at you in those ways."
"We know how men are, so we know when something is up.", both of them said.

You kept on telling them that nothing was going on between you and Xhaka, but they still wouldn't believe you.

You then talked with them about your time in Qatar and how stressful everything was, even the fight with your best friend.

"Must've been one heck of a time for you there." said Fede.

"I'm happy to finally be home with you guys again.", you said to them with a smile on your face.

You were so happy to finally be together again with those who understand you and care for you.
Being away from your national team never felt better. Although you would've loved to be playing in the World Cup.

"Talking about home, we heard you might be transferring to Liverpool or Arsenal.", said Eden, "Is that true?".

"Yeah, but I'm not sure where I should go yet.", you answered.

They were telling you about how much the team would miss you, if you would leave. But you told them that you wanted, and needed a change.
They understood you.
"But never turn your back on us", said Fede.

"I could never."
