New Beginnings

ELEVEN

MJ POV

Three and a half months later

PT had been kicking my ass sometimes, I just wanted to quit and not go back to playing, but I knew that the pain was temporary and that I would be back before I knew it. So even with the help and support of Ale and Mapi, I kept myself from quitting.

I haven't gone to watch a game for Barcelona yet. I didn't want to, but I knew I had to do it for Ale, who was having a fantastic season, and for Mapi, who was playing at her best I had never seen her play that well. She played with so much more passion.

I was stressed with Pt today; my knee didn't have it, and today, like every other day, I didn't have it either. Ale had come home from practice, and she was happy, and I couldn't deal with that, so while she was showering, I went on a walk. I had left my phone at home so she couldn't reach me. When I got home, Ale sat on the couch looking pissed. I knew she would be, but she had no right.

Ale- Where the hell was you, MJ? I called you

MJ- I went for a walk and left my phone here

Ale- You can't just do that. I was scared

MJ- Well, I'm all good; ima go shower now and get ready for dinner

Ale- Are you okay talking to me, MJ

MJ- I'm fine, just tired Ale

Ale and I are supposed to meet with Ale's family for dinner, which is probably not a good idea seeing as I'm tired and not in a good mood. But, I was happy to see Alba; she had been someone I called to talk to, even on my worse days.

I couldn't talk to Mapi because I didn't want to stress her with what I was going through. Ale had her things to worry about with the team meeting to brand deals. I didn't want to add my stress on top of that. So Alba and I would go on beach walks whenever I knew Ale would get home late.

Dinner was at Ale moms house, which was not far from us.

As soon as we pulled into the driveway, I took a while to get off the car while Ale practically sprinted off, going to greet her mom. While Alba came to my side of the car, helping me out and giving me a big hug. Then, I made my way to Eli, hugged her, and stood next to alba while sparking a conversation about where she would be traveling next month.

Ale gave us a weird look, not knowing why I went to stand next to her. Some of us wanted to join our conversation, but instead, she went with her mom to help her finish cooking.

Alba- Ale, I'm taking your girlfriend on vacation next week.

Ale- I have a big game next week; you suppose to be there supporting the team, MJ.

MJ- I know, but I was only supposed to go if it was home. It's not going to be a home game anymore, so I technically don't have to go anymore.

Eli- I'm sure you can wait and go on vacation another day, not the day of Ale's crucial game.

MJ- Okay Eli

Alba- I'll come over to watch the game together, MJ.

Ale- So you're not going to travel with us, MJ?

MJ- You know I hate traveling while injured. Ale, ive told you before.

Ale- It's by train; it's not that big of a deal; it's so much easier, MJ.

Alba- If she said she doesn't feel comfortable traveling injured, let her be damn Ale.

MJ- Ale, we will talk about this at home.

Ale- No, we already talked about

And with that, Ale ignored all of the dinner, which nade me not want to go home with her, but I just let it be; since Ale had practice tomorrow, we needed to head home so she could sleep.

When we got home, she went to the room to shower and get into bed. I waited till she was in bed to start getting ready, and when I finished changing, I turned off the light and started walking out of the room.

Ale- Where are you going, MJ? It's late; let us go to bed.

MJ- I'm going to the backyard to read my book.

Ale- Why can't you do that tomorrow? Just join me in bed

MJ- No, Ale ima read my book Goodnight

And with that, I walked out of the room to the backyard and started reading my book. I had lost track of time, and when I saw the clock, it was 5 am. So I made myself tea and went to the spare room to sleep. When I woke up, Ale was gone to practice, and I had an hour till PT, which I called to cancel because I did not feel like going. So instead, I went to the beach and looked at the ocean.

When I started making my way home, knowing Ale would be home at 1 am, I started looking at flights to LA and spending time with my favorite American.

I am back for a while. I'm sorry for being gone. I have been dealing with an injury, and on top of that, the college has been stressful, so I will try to upload more. I also wanted to ask if anybody was interested in co-writing will me. If you are interested send me a message
