Mistletoe and Miscommunication (Alexia Putellas)

You always knew having your heart broken would hurt but you never though it would hurt this much. You didn't know what caused Alexia to break up with you, she couldn't justify it herself so you never stood a chance.

When you first got together you knew the risks. It would be public and should the worse happen, you could not let it affect the team dynamics. You and Alex were the captains of the team and it would be the downfall of the team if players started picking sides. It's the reason why Alexia suggested not telling anyone about your break up. At first it was hard but you found a way that works for you. The team was none the wiser and given that you were quite a reserved couple, the public didn't have a clue what was happening behind closed doors.

You had just finished training when Alexia grabs your wrist pulling you into one of the equipment rooms.

"Hey! You said no quickies at work" Mapi jokes.

"You know I'm a do as I say, no a do as I do captain Maria"

You joke but in reality Alexia's action is making you nervous. After barely speak for days you cannot think of a reason why she would want to talk to you 1 on 1.

"We need to talk about the party" Alexia gets straight to her point making it clear that she doesn't want to be in your company any longer than she has to.

"You want to set rules" you know your ex girlfriend better than anyone.

"We need to arrive together"

"You can get ready at our apartment, you still have your key" you couldn't help but try to be optimistic.

Alexia hadn't been back to the apartment you shared since she broke up with you. You know she has been living with her mum but the fact that she still hasn't packed up any of her belongings gave you hope.

"No" Alexia's voice is firm "I will pick you up"

"Ok" you hang your head in defeat.

Deciding that the conversation is over, Alexia leaves. She holds the door for you but you are frozen in your spot. Your head is anywhere but in the room where your body is.

"Y/N" Alexia says.

"Yes"

You loved the way she said your name. Sure other people called you it, it wasn't a nickname, but with her accent it was different.

"Please don't look at me like that" Alexia asks from the doorway.

"Like what?" you ask having no idea what she is talking about.

"Like you love me"

Her answer is pure, honest and unexpected. How after all this time could she think you could stop loving her. It wasn't a switch, you couldn't just turn it off, heck you didn't even chose to turn it on in the first place.

You walk towards her but stop in front of her.

"I will always love you Alexia even if you don't love me" You speak of love yet their is no emotion in your voice.

Without waiting for an answer you go to the locker room.

Alexia can only watch you walk away from her. Her heart scolding her for the decision she let her head make.

*********************
Just as she said, Alexia knocks on your door a few nights later ready to take you to the team's Christmas party.

In the previous years you have looked forward the this party knowing it is a chance for the whole team to let their hair down and celebrate the year's accomplishments. This year though you were riddled with anxiety. Pretending to be in a relationship with Alexia at training was easy because you always acted professional but tonight you will have act like she is still yours when she isn't. You wasn't sure if you could do it.
