Eimear doesn't know the first thing about soccer when she flies over to see her first match with her little cousin. A run in with a footballer at the end of the match causes her to go famous on TikTok.
When she runs into him again and he asks her o...
I wake up by sun streaming across my face. I grab my phone to check the time when I remembered I powered it off.
My brain clears and I remember everything from last night. I start to feel sick.
No. I will not cry over it.
I drag myself out of the bed. I go to the bathroom and splash my face with water. I'm still in my clothes from last night as I didn't have a change of clothes with me. I fix myself up.
When I come out of the bathroom I turn on my phone. A load of notifications come pouring in. Most are from Gavi & Pedri.
There's a few from some other players. I don't answer any of them. I decide to ring my mom instead. She picks up on the first go
Mom❤️🩹
"Hi mom". I try to keep my voice from cracking and somehow I do. "Hi sweetie. How are you?" "I want to come home". The tears spill out before I can stop them. "What happened sweetie?" I go to speak but can't because I'm crying so much. "Hey I will come over". I shake my head before I realise she can't see me.
"No I want to come home. I will explain everything after. I just wanted to check that this is okay?". "Is that okay". My mom raises her voice "what kind of question is that. Your always welcome here it's a given. You're my daughter my pride and joy. I love you with all my heart there's always a place for you." I thought I was crying before. It's nothing compared to now.
"I love you mom". My voice comes out scratchy and foreign. She drops her voice "see you soon baby". "Bye mom". "Bye honey". I hang up and look up the closest flight.
God most like me because thankfully there was a flight home today in a few hours. I didn't hesitate to book it. I looked at the clock. It was 8am. Gavi should be at training meaning I could swing by the apartment and grab what I needed.
I went on to instagram to check. Of course the universe hates me because the first thing I see is a post that Gavi made. I can't help myself from looking at it and the comments.

At that comment I swipe out of it. If only she knew. I mean she would soon when I come home. It was sweet how he put in my favourite lyric from my favourite song.
If only it was real. I checked Barcelona's insta and they were indeed at training. So I got up and left the hotel

I didn't think that it would hurt as much as it did coming into the apartment but it did. It hurt because I had imagined this being my life. I never think so far ahead in a relationship but for the first time I thought this was it. I had found my person.
Oh how wrong was I
I grabbed as much of my clothes as I could. I left Gavi's jersey behind. I was going to bring it but I decided not to.
I was at the door when I stopped. I turned around and left the keys in the counter before leaving my new life behind me.
