Elenas Pov.
A few days later.
I've been staying out at his house for a few days now, and we've just been having fun and enjoying eachothers company. We've been to see Ferran every now and then, or he comes here. We haven't spoken to Gavi since that day. Gavi avoids him and Eric in training since he found out Eric knew and didn't tell him, and he's pissed at him now, too.
Today, they have a match, and currently, Pedri is in the shower and getting ready. I'm making us some lunch. I'm just wearing a pair of jeans and a cropped tank top. Pedri said he's giving me one of his jerseys to wear.
He comes down with his hair slightly wet, and I smile at him. "Here you go, princess." He hands me the jersey, and I put it on. "How do I look?" I ask, and he looks me up and down. "Better than me in it!" And I laugh."That's not true." I kiss him, and he smiles, kissing me back.
We eat our lunch, and then we head to the stadium. We arrive, and there are a lot of fans waiting outside Camp nou (in this, it's not getting re modelled ). He waves at them and drives down the ramp. He goes and parks the car. We get out, and he grabs my hand. " Gavi pulled up and slammed his door and walked straight past us inside. I sigh, and Pedri just smiles at me. "You'll get used to the silent treatment. This is what I have to deal with in training..." He chuckles and nods. "I'll see you after I gotta go find Sira." He nods and kisses me before I leave. I head to the family area and see Sira sitting there waiting. "You okay?" She asks, and I nod. "I'm excited for the match." I smile, and she nods. "Me too."

Pedris Pov.
I head into the locker room, and I walk over to my locker. Dembele hasn't arrived yet. So I can see Gavi sitting at his. I go to say something but stop myself. I just started to change into my jersey and shorts.
"Pedri?" I hear him say, and I look at him. "Yes, Gavi?" I ask, and he points at the boots. "They gave me your boots. " He hands them to me, and I said thanks, and he just nods and goes back to what he is doing. I finish getting ready and head over to Ferran. "Did you two just talk?" He asks, and I shake my head. "Nah, he had my boots they gave him mine by accident." I tell him, and he nods. "So nothing better?" And I shake my head. "I haven't tried to talk to him yet....to be honest... " I sigh and sit on the empty locker next to Ferran. "I do miss him, but I know it's gonna take a lot for him to forgive me....I betrayed him....." I looked down, and Ferran rubs my back. "It will be okay...." I just nod and head out to the pitch to warm up with him. Eric joins us while Gavi stays with Balde.
I start doing stresses, and I see Elena in the stands, and I wave at her. She smiles and waves back.
I blow her a kiss, and she catches it. Eric smiles. "You two are so cute," He said, and I smiled at him. "Thanks, bro."
We finish warming up, and we go over and get some water. I grab my water bottle and drink it. I quickly ran over to where Elena was. She comes up to me, and I  smile. "Best of luck, baby!" She tells me. "Good luck, kiss?" I ask, and she smiles and kisses me. I smile into the kiss, and I peck her cheek. Ferran comes over to Sira. I feel eyes on, and I look behind me to see Gavi, and he looks away, throwing his water bottle down and storms off. Ferran sighs and goes after him. I squeeze Elenas hand, and she nods and sits back down. I head back to Eric, and we go back to the locker rooms.  "What happened to Gavi?" He asked me, and I sigh "guess he saw us kissing...." I tell him, and he nods and heads over to his locker. I see Ferran trying to calm Gavi down. I walk over and grab my water bottle and walk back to Eric to let them be. I sit down next to him, and we both look over at Ferran and Gavi. He eventually calms down, and Ferran hugs him. I sigh, and look down. It's normally me calming him down, but now I'm the cause of his anger.... I walk over and take off my training shirt and put on the jacket. "Gavi, I just want to say I'm sorry...." I look at him. " I don't need your apology Pedri you shouldn't have done it in the first place...." He walks away, and I sigh. Well atleast I tried. 
We all head onto the pitch and start the game. It's about to reach half time, and Frenkie passes me the ball, and I pass it to dembele, and I run up into the box and I'm standing next to Gavi. Dembele passes the ball back into the middle and we both go for the ball and I get there first and kick it in. I run off and down my celebration and then I point at Elena and blow her a kiss. She smiles and blows it back.
Next minute I'm pushed to the ground. "You had to steal the ball from me like you stole her huh!!!" Gavi shouts and I look at him." You couldn't of just let me have her!!! Why did you take her!!" He shouts and I stand up."Gavi not here!" He pushes me again and then jumps on me and starts punching me. I try to push him away. But he doesn't budge I use all my strength to flip us over and I keep him down. "Gavi stop!" I tell him and he just keeps punching me. Ferran runs over and pulls me off him. Eric pulls Gavi back and he keeps trying to get to me. "Why pedri why! You couldn't just let me have 1 girl!! I was happy and you had to go and ruin it!!" He shouts with tears in his eyes. "Gavi I'm sorry.......I'm sorry I fell in love with her. I didn't want to hurt you I'm sorry...." I tell him and pushes Eric off him. "Too late for that...." He tells me and storms off. The ref shows us both red cards which doesn't suprise me. I walk away and go and sit on the bench. Gavi storms down the tunnel to the locker room. I look up at Elena and she's standing there with tears in her eyes with Sira hugging her. As soon as the half time whistle blows I run up to the seats and I go and take her in my arms. She hugs me back and cries into my chest. I rub her back. "It's okay.....he needed to let his anger out...." I whisper and she nods. I kiss her head and keep her in arms until Xavi calls me back. "I'll find you after okay...." She tells me and I nod and I kiss her softly. She kisses back and smiles against my lips. I then leave and run off down the tunnel.
Xavi gives us both a lecture and Gavi just keeps looking down.
The medic comes over and cleans up my face and checks my stomach where he hit it. "You're fine no damage. Well heal in a few days." He said and I nod.
Everyone leaves the room but us. "Pablo you know I tried.....I didn't want to love her okay.....and I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for hurting you." I tell him and he looks at me. "It's hurts that she cheated on me yes. But it's hurts more than it was with you. My Best friend.....cause not only did I loose her. I lost you aswell. I accept your apology Pedro but I don't think I'll be able be friends with you again....." He walks out of the room and I sigh. I deserve that. I'm a terrible friend I wouldn't wanna be my friend either.
I get up and head back out to watch the rest of the match.
