This is Me Trying|| P.G

35. Flashing Lights

I've had some stuff to do, so I can't go to the Friendly in Japan.

But, at least I'll have Mia and Pedri.

Well..so I thought.

"I'm here!!" I shout through the doorway.

I here footsteps creak down the step.

"Heyy!" Mia says, bringing me in for a hug. Pedri, trailing behind.

Pedri comes and also gives me a hug. "How was your session?"

(slanted words are flash backs in this chapter)

"Annalee Solace?" The receptionist calls out as a doctor comes out.

I perk my head up from one of the magazines I got from the coffee table, "That's me."

"Hello, I'm Doctor Alexandra. If you follow me please." She begins walking.

Her black curls begin bouncing as she walks. She looks to be in her late 30's.

She takes me to this warm room. The lights are dim, and a nice aroma surrounds the room.

She motions me to sit on the couch across from her.

I sit down and get in a comfortable position.

"Ready?"

I sigh, "Where do I start?"

"It was good." I smile.

Truth was, it wasn't good.

It felt messy. Like my voice suddenly went away.
I didn't know how to tell her everything that has happened in my life.

But luckily, she was understanding and patient. She was able to slowly guide me towards what I wanted to say.

But I didn't really get anywhere.

We decided to grab something to drink and head out back of Pedri's house.

I feel a vibration from my back pocket. I grab my phone and Gavi was calling.

"Gavi's calling!!" I exclaim getting excited.

It felt like forever since I've been with him.

"Hola!!"

"Hola, mi amor!" He says, smiling.

My heart warms just looking at him. "I saw you guys won!! Congratulations."

"Thank you! I even got to talk with Iniesta and took a picture with his kids!" He says very excitedly.

In the corner of my eye, I see Pedri. I can tell he is upset about not being there.

I look at him and give a compassionate smile.
"I saw!! I'll let you get back to having your fun. I'll see you in a little."

"Love you, bye!" We both say.

Mia clearly didn't see Pedri was upset. "Well that must be so exciting for him."

I hum in response, hoping this'll give the idea to change the topic.

"I'm gonna go order some food." I get up and head inside.

I open and close the sliding door, I dial the number and decide to get some tacos delivered.

All of a sudden a hand grabs my shoulder making me jump. I turn around, "You scared the hell outta me."

"Sorry." Pedri says scratching the back of his neck.

I ask, "Are you alright? You didn't seem comfortable."

"I guess. I'm just upset that you know Gavi and Frenkie and the team are out in Japan playing against Iniesta. A Barca legend."
