my lover - Jude Bellingham

chapter nineteen

The next morning I woke up to Gio shaking my side.

'What?' I said, rubbing my eyes.

'I'm leaving to the game,' he said.

'Is that it? I'll leave In about an hour or so,' I said.

'Okay I'll see you later,' he said.

He left my room and I rolled back over to go back to try and sleep. It occurred to me I should probably get up and get ready.

I had a shower and dried my hair, did my makeup and got ready to leave.

When i got there I was running late being stuck in traffic on the way here. The teams were just heading back into the tunnel from warming up in the pitch so I made it in perfect timing.

As they came out from the tunnel to get into their line my eye caught Jude. He was next to Erling.

When the whistle blew the game started and dortmund had the ball. I cheered along with the fans in the stadium.

At half time BvB were loosing 1-0. They all walked into the tunnel looking raged. I sat on my phone until they came back out. Memories of me and Jude popped up on my Snapchat. I didn't think it was gonna be so hard going on a break with him, Afterall Jude probably wasn't bothered he was probably chatting to a new girl already.

- Jude's pov - 

I walked down the tunnel, pissed off. All I could think about was Ellie. She probably no longer cared about me, she was probably talking to a new guy.

When we came out for the second half I managed to get the ball and headed for the goal. I missed. I was so pissed off. Everything was annoying me.

'Bro that could've easily been put in,' marco said.

'Oh you fucking do it then if it's so easy,' i said, aggressively.

'Yoooo,' Erling said coming over.

'What's wrong man?' He said.

'So pissed off,' I said.

'Come find me after this,' he said.

And so I did. When the game finished we had lost 2-0. I walked off the pitch and back into the locker room. I could hear Erling calling my name.

'Yo what's wrong? Your not yourself.' He said.

'Fucking game bruv waste of my time,' i said.

'It's not like that jude, we can't win every game. It happens sometimes,' he said.

'Marco saying that it's easy? Like okay? You fucking do it then,' i said.

'Jude calm down...why are you so mad you never get this mad.' He asked.

I sighed.

'Jude?' He said.

'Ellie and I are on a break,'I blurted.

'Oh....man I'm sorry. Why?' He said.

'I'd rather not talk about it. I just wanna go home man' i said beginning to grow even more frustrated.

I picked up my stuff and got ready to go.

'Come on man..I know it's hard,' Erling said, hugging me.

'Thanks bro,' i said, chucking my bag over my shoulder.

'Message me when your home safe,' he said.

'Will do man,' i said, leaving.

I walked out to get to my car. Thats when i saw her. It was Ellie. She saw me too. We had a few seconds of eye contact before she went through a door and disappeared

- Ellie's pov -

As I came out, I saw him. I saw Jude. My heart sunk, he looked so tired. He was leaving so early? Probably too see some girl.

My attitude went from feeling bad for him to automatically thinking the opposite. I forgot about it and headed home with gio a little while later.

When i got in the door there was a letter addressed to me, I opened it.

Ellie Garcia,

We would like to invite you back to work for the official Dortmund Modelling Company. We are in need of a person just like yourself. If you are up for it, please come in tomorrow morning at 9:00am.

Thank you,

DMC team.

I put the letter down on the side and slipped off my shoes. I went up to my room and thought about it. To be honest, I didn't enjoy my job too much at the moment. It was so draining working late all those evenings. I made up my mind, I was going to go for it.

⏰ - 8:37am the next day.

I had just finished getting ready to go to my old workplace. I was about to finish my makeup but I couldn't find my favourite lipgloss anywhere.

'For fuck sake,' i said, rummaging through my drawers.

I opened a draw, the draw containing everything jude has given me.

I stared down into the drawer, looking at the pictures there were. I missed us. I quickly got back to what I was looking for and there it was, at the bottom of the draw.

I put the lipgloss on and then shoved it in my mini bag. I went downstiars, made a coffee to bring with me and put my shoes on.

When i arrived I went in and headed for my boss' office.

I knocked.

'Ellie...' he said, smiling and welcoming me in.

'So...I got your letter,' i said, sitting down in the chair on the other side of his desk.

'I'm glad! So good to see you back here. So are you willing to take it all back up again? I know things were hard with your dad,' he said.

'Yes. I think I'm ready to start again,' I said.

'Just sign this for me please then,' he said, pushing a piece of paper towards me.

I put my signature down on the dotted line and passed it back.

'Wonderful!' He said.

'I'll send you some dates of when we need you in!' He said.

'Okay brilliant,' I said.

'So how have you been?' He said.
