"I recognize those eyes, those brown warm eyes right away. It's the eyes I haven't seen in years, the eyes I've missed so much. The most beautiful eyes I've ever seen and thought I'd never see again."

The eyes of Pablo Gavira.......

I still haven't taken my eyes off him and it looks like he hasn't taken mine either, I'm so excited to run over him and hug him so tight. Mikky suddenly starts shaking my shoulders. ''Auri! Are you okay?" I still have to process it, but I turn to her anyway. "Uh yeah, um I'm fine I was daydreaming." "Oh Okay then."

Pov Gavi:

Pedri taps my shoulder and points to a girl sitting in the stands. "That's my sister." I follow his finger and look at the girl, who is waving to Pedri. No this is not possible, this is not possible. I take a closer look and look at her eyes.

The deep dark brown eyes I haven't seen in 6 years. I missed her so much, it was never the same without her. But this is not possible, Pedri's sister my childhood best friend. The girl I had feelings for, that means I had or still have a crush on my best friend's sister. No no this can't be, but her eyes, her face she's just perfect. We keep looking at each other all the time, oh I would love to hug her right now. But our eye contact is interrupted by a girl sitting next to her, she looks like Mikky Frenkie's girlfriend. Oh wait it is really Mikky, Pedri starts tapping my shoulders.

"Yes?" "Are you okay? Xavi is calling us.'' ''Yes, I'm fine.'' I still can't believe it, but now we have to get to work.

Pov Auriana:

I just think I imagined it right? But we're going to focus on the training, it was pretty fun to watch. There were funny moments between the players sometimes and it's just a fun experience. At the end the players gave away some merch from FCB, Mikky and I decided to stay until almost everyone is gone.

I see my brother walking towards me. "Do you want to get on the field? I can also introduce you to the team.'' I jump over the railing and Pedro catches me. Frenkie also walks towards us and I run over to him. "FRENKK!" "Auri! long time no see!" and we give each other a big hug. "Go to Mik." I whisper. He nods and releases me.

I walk back to Pedro and we go together to the whole team, Pedro introduces me to everyone and I shake hands with them. ''And this is Pablo known as-'' before he could finish his sentence I jump in Gavi's arms. I hug him tight, he seems to be shocked for a moment but hugs me back tightly. I feel all eyes on us, but I don't care.

"Pabs I've missed you so much, I'm sorry that I left. I'm so glad to see you again." I can't take this anymore and burst into tears. "Princessa, it's okay we're back together now. I missed you a lot too, it was just strange not having you by my side anymore. But you're back, that's all that matters." He starts stroking my head and I feel my neck getting a little wet from his tears.

"I think we're being stared." I whisper. "Oh yes, I completely forgot about them." I slowly pull myself out of the hug and we smile at each other and I wipe away my tears. ''Ehm, can we have an explanation?'' asks Ferran. "Oh well, sure, we haven't seen each other in 6 years." "Oh, it seemed like you were another crazy fangirl of Prince Pablo." I grin at Pablo and he shakes his head as a sign of no.

"Ri, come on, let's play football." W-what, play football now? what if things go wrong, what if it brings bad luck again, what if I don't see my family again. All sorts of thoughts run through my head. Maybe I'm overthinking? Oh no....

I was so deep in thought that I didn't even realize that everyone was behind me and that Ter Stegen is already waiting in the goal. I look at the football in front of me and then I turn to my brother who is behind me. I give him a help me look, but he gives me an encouraging look back.

"Sorry I can't do this." And I run away as fast as I can, I don't know where I'm going but then I remember something. I run through the hallways and then I stand in front of the secret place of me and Gavi, that we had discovered when we were young. No one knows about it.

I open the shutter and climb through, behind the shutter is a room that me and Gavi decorated when we were little. There are a few bean bags, all posters on the wall of Barca players and a TV no idea how it got there. I'm surprised everything isn't covered in dust, Pablo probably still comes here sometimes. I sit on a bean bag and put my head between my knees. Not much later I feel someone put his arms around me, I look up and see Gavi. Of course it's Gavi, no one else knows about this place. I rest my head on his shoulder and he puts his head on top of mine. It remains quiet for a while, but it is a nice silence.

"Do you remember when we used to sit here, when we were bored and even fell asleep here?" "I remember that." I say with a smile, "Our parents weren't very happy and fortunately we were not caught by the security guards.'' Another silence follows.. ''Princessa, do you want to talk about it?'' 'Ehm, sí I'm just afraid that if I start playing football again something terrible will happen. First I lost my family and then you. I just got you back..''

''Listen to me, it has nothing to do with football. When you were taken away from your family, your parents had no choice and they just wanted the best for you. And the fact that you lost me has nothing to do with it either. We came together through football, that you had to move was just because your uncle wanted you to, you had no choice. And look, we're all back together. I know that becoming a professional football player was your biggest dream and it still is, deep in your heart you still want to go for it. Give it another chance, I promise nothing will happen again and I'm going to make sure I will never lose you again."

These words made me a little emotional, but he is right. Football has never really given me bad luck, it brought me happiness. I'm stupid that I didn't think about it before. I guess I just had to blame something for everything I went through. "Pabs, I think that you're right, come I think Pedri is worried." We walk back to the field and I'm surprised that everyone is still there. When they see me coming, they run up to me and they all give me a hug.

It was a mega group hug. ''Guys I am going to do it.'' Ter Stegen goes into the goal and I behind the ball. I take a deep breath and then shoot into the left corner, the same corner when I first shot into the goal 11 years ago. The magical feeling is back.

I haven't had that feeling in 6 years and I really missed it. Now I'm sure, I'm going to make my dream come true....

Do you still think this story is good because I'm not really very proud of it. :(
