Chapitre 5

When we arrived at the stadium, Gabriela and I made our way to the VIP seats that were on the top of the bleachers. I was fascinated by the luxurious space : there was, in the middle of the room, a bar and a buffet. On one of the wall, a large screen was fixed, in case we didn't want to be outdoors and then finally the seats were way better than the normal ones. There was also a lot of wags that I didn't know and a lot of rich people I guess.

We made the decision to get a drink at the bar because we had some extra time to spare before the game started. We waited for Rodrigo because, he was supposed to come and greet us. He arrived some minutes later with Griezmann, Morata, and an other person that I didn't recognize. Joao didn't come, even thought I hoped he would, guess he was still mad over my text. If so, this guy was really sensitive.

After what felt like an eternity, there was still no sign of Joao, i was tired of waiting for nothing so I got up and decided to find the toilets. Of course, with how big the stadium is, I got lost and found myself in an empty corridor, far away from the VIP area. I don't know why they don't put toilets sign or why there is no sight of bathroom in the VIP section.

At that point I was totally lost. I made my way towards another door. However, as I drew nearer the door, I began to hear some voices sort of whispering yelling. I could't help but eavesdrop on their conversation, forgetting my envy to go to the restroom.

"You can't do that, and you know it ! You love me too much !" a girl cried.

"What the fuck, Magui ! It's been two months since we broke up, get over it !" When I heard that voice, it finally hit me. It was Joao's voices.  I lingered there for a little while longer, listening to his ex-girlfriend trying to convince him to be her boyfriend again. After 5 minutes, the yelling stops and some kissing sounds were heard. That's when I decided to leave. His ex-girlfriend finally got the best of him, again. It didn't get much for him to fall back into her arms. I know I shouldn't be mad because we don't own each other anything, I barely know him. But I can't help feeling a little overwhelmed of all that happened in less than two days.

I started to run since I didn't want them to see me anywhere near their corridor when they leave.

"Girl, where were you ? Did you get lost ?" Gabriela stated as I entered the VIP section again.

"Yeah, kinda, when is the match starting ?" I asked, still being a little bit confused about what just happened and trying to avoid the subject. Gabriela must notice my weird attitude because she started asking me some questions.

"You don't look too good, What happened?" I look at her and decided to not say anything. What's currently happening between Joao and his girlfriend is none of my business, even thought I thought he was starting to like me. Guess you never know with mans.

"Nothing, just tired from the walking." She didn't ask any other question, we were cut anyway by the arrival of the players. We made our way to the front row seats and watched them sing the anthem. After that, the match finally started. Gabriela informed me that it was a match of the champion's ligue : the Atletico against the Bayern, then she added that we were probably going to lose. I smiled and focused my attention on the match trying to forget everything.

After about 10 minutes into the match, Gabriela went inside to order some food. When she came back, with two bags of chips, she looked horrified.

"You'll never guess who I just met inside !" she begins, not letting me the time to answer. "Joao's ex-girlfriend ! What is she doing here ?" she huffed. She looked pissed while I blemish of embarrassment. Gabriela quickly noticed it and squeezed my shoulder to comfort me.

"Don't worry, Joao's totally over her. He told Rodrigo and I a thousand times that he would prefer burning in hell forever than going back with her" she was trying to be reassuring and I let her, not even trying to explain what happened and how she was wrong.

That's when I realized I was wearing his jersey. That made me feel even more uncomfortable, knowing that there might be a chance that Joao's ex-girlfriend will see it.

We continued to watch the match and at some point the Bayern scored, thanks to Kingsley Coman. Everyone was disappointed, but hope was still in the air.

Another ten minutes passed before we saw a blonde head entering the outside area. Gabriela gave me a nudge, signaling with her head for me to observe who just appeared. "It's her ! it's Margarida, the chick is so pathetic it's becoming funny" she whispered. the girl in question turned her head to look at us and gave us a smile. Gabriela smiled and waved at her, before ignoring her again. I did the same (without waving, don't know this hoe) and turned my attention back to the match.

At this point, there was 2-0 for the Bayern, everyone had lost hope and the atmosphere was electric. After forty-five minutes in the match, the half-time was whistled. Gabriela and I got up and went inside, we had some small talk until Joao's ex-girlfriend came and disturbed us.

"Hi girls !" she said comfortably, Gabriela turned around and embraced her, she rolled her eyes during it, which made me almost laugh. Then, Margarida turned and look at me up and down, chewing her gum. She then introduced herself.

"Hi, I'm Margarida, Joao's girlfriend, and you are ?" I smiled and acted the fakest I could "I'm Astrid, mucho gusto" Gabriela and her started to have a small talk, i took advantage of it to left without even thinking of gabriela's positions. This time I actually found the bathroom.

When I opened the door to waled out of the room, I found myself face to face with a sweaty Joao. He abruptly stop his walk and reach for my arm. "I tried to come before the match but-" He begins but I cut him off by walking past him, avoiding him on purpose. His eyebrows furrowed as he began to follow me. I assume he was trying to figure out what was going on.

"Joao, your girlfriend is waiting for you" I simply told him, stopping in my track to stare at him. He gazed at me with a very serious look. Then his shoulders dropped and he slid down against the wall. I looked at him, confused, as he took his head in his hands, shaking it left to right.

"Are you alright ? Joao ?" I felt my heart sunk to my feet as I was watching him losing it. He seemed lost. I knelt in front of him and grabbed his hand. I couldn't believe myself for doing that because, I was meant to be mad at him, but to see him in such a state due to this girl didn't sit right for me.

"What happened ? Joao, look at me, what happened with her ?" I questioned, starting to draw some circles on the back oh his hand to soothe him and to make him open up to me. He finally looked at me and apologized almost inaudibly. He kept going for about five minutes, muttering incessantly, "I'm sorry" and "I messed up."

I tried to calm him down by whispering some reassuring words, but nothing worked. Once I realized he was experiencing some sort of panic attack, fear and worry hit me. I pulled my phone out and tried to call Rodrigo but he didn't answer, same for Gabriela. At this point, I didn't know what to do, the other half was beginning in about five minutes an Joao was still with me, in no states of playing.
