one step forward

my curiosity got the better of me

GAVI'S POV

the night was definitely strange. i couldn't sleep, i just tossed and turned from side to side for many hours. i tried to understand how i feel. how i feel about her, about everything at all.

to be honest, i just wanted to get in the car, open the windows, turn on the music and go somewhere far away. i wanted to find answers somewhere. valerie's health, people who hate me for nothing, failures in sports. i just couldn't deal with it by my own. but i had to.

i got out of bed, got dressed and went outside, slamming the door. i liked to walk in the evenings, sometimes with friends, and sometimes all alone. it helped to tune in, most often to the games, as well as overcome fears and stress. now i needed to find the answers in my head and heart.

i came to our favorite place, looking at the stars and thinking about everything. what do i feel for her? her burning eyes make mine burn, her smile makes me smile. i get lost in her gaze, but sometimes i remember that evening and all the words, that were said. but everyone makes mistakes, right?

i also caused her a lot of pain, that she doesn't deserve. her health is much more important than my thoughts right now, especially after yesterday.

VALERIE'S POV

i woke up in my bed and felt much better, than the day before. to be honest, i remember hardly anything. but there is one thing i can't forget.. how pablo cared about me. i am forever thankful for what he did and how he helped me. he even cheered me up! but one his phrase stuck in my head.

"you are my good luck"

he told it from the bottom of his heart. i could feel it. it is very nice, that even after everything that happened between us, he appreciates me and my support. maybe we can talk about that evening? rather, not yet, because something like a new stage in our relationship has just begun, which we did not want to spoil in any way. and this conversation will definitely be bad for both of us. we will start to hate each other even more, i am sure of this, knowing our characters.

well, i didn't have any special plans for today, so i just texted soph and asked if she can come to my place and stay with me.

sophie💗

hey soph
are you busy?

valerieee baby
i don't have any plans

come to me?

and she agreed to come! i didn't tell her about my health, i didn't want to disappoint her, to be honest. she always takes all my problems as her own. my bestie!

finally, i heard a door bell. i opened the door and saw sophie with the bottle of lemonade in her hands.

"hey, i brought you a bottle of lemonade instead of alcohol. i know, you are in bad terms with it" HOW RUDE.

"how rude, sophie!!" i said it with the most offended look! but actually, she was right.

"come in" i invited her to my living room.

we started to talk literally about everything. i love to talk to soph because she is that type of person, with whom you can have fun, relax and at the same time talk on deep topics.
