Gavi POV
My morning started off the worst way possible. I walked in on my sister and her boyfriend... you can imagine. This made me realise that I needed to get out of there quickly and so I hobbled down the road to Ferran's place. Maybe he could drive me to the Ciutat Esportiva and I could watch the boys training. Everything was better than staying another day at home all the time. I was still recovering from surgery and had not started with physiotherapy yet, so I was bored most of the time. I had shot Pedri a message first, since he lived closer to mine and I still couldn't walk far, but once again, he had spent the night at Chiara's. That dude needed to make a move it he wanted to make it out of that sex-friendzone she had put him in.
So I knocked on Ferran's door and it took him a bit to answer. But his car was here, he definitely was still at home, he hadn't driven to training yet. "Hello... uh... Pablo! What are you doing here?" he stammered. I hobbled inside past him, without waiting for an invitation and said: "I need to get out of my house. Can you drive me to training? Pedri stayed at Chiara's last night... again. Wait a minute - oh my God! You have sex hair!!" I exclaimed excitedly. Finally, at least he was being luckier in his love life than me. It seemed like ages ago that he told us that he was having a date - poor guy was still suffering from his heartbreak while Sira seemed to have moved on. "Yeah... um... maybe... you can leave and I'll just pick you up in 15, ok?" he stammered, but I didn't know why he was being so nervous and chuckled at his embarrassment.
"Ferran! Where are your spare toothbrushes?" a voice that I knew all too well shouted from upstairs. My face fell and I looked at my friend with a shocked expression. I didn't even find the words. Vicky now also got downstairs as she didn't get an answer to her question and when she saw me, she froze too. She was wearing a t-shirt of his and probably nothing else, that sight was even worse than when I saw her at that club making out with that finance guy a few months ago. "What the hell! My best friend?!" I shouted angrily, tears welling up in my eyes. "I could say the same thing" she said and crossed her arms. "That was completely different. You broke the bro code" I shouted at Ferran now too. "But when Ana breaks the girl code you're quick to jump on her" she snarled. "Vicky, I thought you were dead for Heaven's sake!" I shouted at her. "I'm getting out of here." I added and stormed out. My heart was stinging and I stopped for a second on the street - I only saw red in front of my eyes and pulled out my phone to call a very certain someone.

"Fuck, Ferran, I'm so sorry..." I said. This was all such a bad idea. What had gotten into me? "You guys need to talk it out. And leave me out of your issues with Gavi" he said and angrily brushed past me. What the fuck? He had an equal share in this with me. I quickly gathered all my stuff and left after mumbling a goodbye to the house where he was in somewhere. Since I still didn't have my scooter back, I had to resort to taking yet another taxi home. I needed to talk to Ana too. This was going to be a great action-packed day.
When I arrived at my flat, I quickly showered and chose an outfit for today before stuffing some Nutella toast into my stomach. Then I glanced at the kitchen watch - how had it already gotten so late. I packed my bag and started walking towards my therapist's office.

"Hello, Miss Hernandez, how are you today?" Dr Reyes asked me as I sat down in front of her. "Awful. I did a really, really, really stupid thing" I said and explained last night's occurrences. She put her head in her hands. "Miss Hernandez! Oh God, ok, maybe let's say that we stay away from alcohol and any romantic or sexual involvements with men until the end of the year? You really need your head for processing your trauma right now and not adding other stuff on your already full plate." she answered and I nodded. "Got it. No alcohol. No men. Great idea." I said and we picked up again where we had left last time.
After another hour of crying and spilling out my deepest feelings, I waited a few minutes in the waiting area to recompose myself before heading outside again. I already looked awful enough on all of those paparazzi pictures, what did Pablo think when he saw them? Did he even see them?
After taking a deep breath I ordered a taxi and told the driver Ana's address. She usually was back from work at this time of the day. The entrance door of her apartment building downstairs was always open and I took the elevator up to the fifth floor before I firmly knocked on her door. She opened up and my eyes popped out of my head.
"You must be fucking kidding me." I said and walked past her, bumping my shoulder into hers. "Where is he?" I shouted as I looked at her again. She was wearing one of Pablo's t-shirts that I knew all too well, and nothing else. "You came at the best time possible" she grinned and I was ready to punch her. But I don't think that Dr Reyes would like that. A shirtless Pablo now got out hobbling from her bedroom and I groaned angrily.
"This is how you cope with me sleeping with Ferran?" I shouted at him. "You slept with Ferran?" Ana asked incredulously and laughed. "Guess we're even now" Pablo said and leaned against the doorframe. I took out his Spain jersey from my bag and threw it at him. "While you were fooling around with my best friend, I was raped and violated in this. And it was the only thing keeping me sane, thinking that I would return back to you. Every night I cried myself to sleep in that prison hole, holding your number 9 firmly in my hand. It was my only hope, the only thing that fuelled me into not giving up." I shouted while tears streamed down my face. "Guess what? I didn't even have the hope you'd be back! You were presumed dead and I had to cope with that on top of my injury!" he shouted back at me angrily. "What the hell was I thinking? You're a teenager! How could I believe that your hyperactive testosterone would let you stay loyal!" I shouted, my voice cracking mid-sentence.
"Can I please have my scooter keys back?" I turned around to ask Ana and she walked over to her cupboard to fetch them. "It's parked across-" she said, but I cut her off. "Yeah, yeah, shut up, I'll find it. In case it wasn't clear, our friendship is over" I said and pointed at her. "As is our relationship" I added and pointed at Pablo.
I looked at him and my eyes wandered down to his bare knee, where I saw the scar from his surgery. "How are you?" I whispered. He looked at me with tears in his eyes and was shaking. "I'm at my worst" he whispered back. "Me too." I said with a shaky voice before turning around and leaving.
