flashback

"y/n." he says, looking at you, "i want you to come to my first game for the U21 team."
turning your head away embarrassingly you reply, "why zlatan? why invite me?"
"you are my girlfriend y/n, i need you there. you're my true support."
tearing up, you reply, "you didn't feel that same way whenever you cheated."
he stares at you in shock.
"cheated?"
"cheated."
"y/n, i never cheat-"
"shut up."
"where did you get this inform-"
"SHUT. UP."
"baby, please-"
"zlatan, how could you lie to my face like this?"
"i love you-"
"don't pull this sorry shit now. we're done."
as you are walking away, your best friend pops out of his peripheral.
"zlatan- now that she's out of the way, let me make you feel better" she says, lustfully grabbing zlatan
"ella, this is your fault isn't it?"
"don't worry about that dear, i'll make you feel even better than she ever had,"
"get off."
"zlatan, don't think about it, just relax."
"go away."
he pushes her off, storming to his friends, hidden away in the corner.
"what's wrong with you?" one asks, concerned
"ella broke me and y/n up with her bs."
"yikes dude, you were supposed to be inviting her to your first game, now what?"
"she took the tickets, but i don't know what she'll do with them."
he sighs just as the signal to transition from a break to class again rings.
his first appearance was nearing, and he was obviously unmotivated
his only source of motivation, you, were not even coming, due to your stupid best friend breaking you up.
if he could just see you one last time he would be floored
luckily for him, you decided that you would take advantage of the free tickets, going to the game with you and a different friend, emilia
as he made his way out, you went to grab concession food, leaving emilia alone
he looks over, seeing her, being disappointed you didn't even show up to his game with the 2 free tickets you were given
in spite, he used his disappointment to fuel his playing, leading to being noticed by the coach
he realised that zlatan was special, and he had great potential.
the start of his career begins.

"we meet again"
-
your parents eagerly yell"y/n! hurry! the kickoff is about to start"
family was important to you, even more than the stupid grudge you held against your ex.
you were expecting him to excell, but not as much as he did.
it was embarrassing to know that you were in such a petty drama with him, over your best friend secretly liking your boyfriend
but how would you make that up to him now?
it's been years, but you still miss him, and he hasn't seemed to move on
we're so close, yet so far, i'm just above him but he may never notice me in the vast audience.
"zlatan!" i scream, as the game ends."
0-1 sweden lost
your scream is just enough to catch his eye from so far away
he scurries over to you, trying to catch your attention
"y/n! y/n!" he screams with his throat straining against him
you take one more glance out into the audience just to see zlatan for one last time
to your surprise, he's looking dead at you
"zlatan!" you scream, waving
you toss down a piece of flyer that you've saved for years, with your name and phone number hidden in the corner
you mouth the words "call me" down to him, watching him eagerly nod, reading his beautiful gift
smiling, you leave the stadium feeling satisfied
