Today Jill and Erik drove back to Dortmund for Erik's last training before the match Dortmund-Bayern today. Jill's very excited to see Marco and Mario again, but Erik has his thoughts about the two. What if Jill still wants Mario more? The way they got into a relationship was such a rolercoaster of emotions. And eventhough everything has been absolutely perfect between Erik and Jill, Erik's scared Jill still loves Mario.
"Babe, what are you thinking?" Jill asks trying to get Erik's attention who's just staring into the distance
"Huh what? Oh hey sweetheart, I was just thinking about some things. Don't worry about it, and hey, you look absolutely gorgeous!"
"You don't think it's too black?" Jill asks insecure
"I don't think so, but I love an edgier look." Erik says wrapping his arms around his girlfriend's waist and kissing her forhead.
"You do? That's great, I used to wear things like this all the time, but I started wearing girly things to blend in more and to stop the bullying." Jill says a bit shaky
"Bastian told me about that indeed, well I think you're brave for going back to your own style now." Erik says comforting Jill
"Shall we go to the training now?" Jill asks happy again
"Sure thing babe" Erik says quickly pecking Jill on the lips

When they arrive at the stadion (the training place has been getting new grassmats that still need to settle)
Almost everbody's already there.
As they walk onto the field Kevin and Ciro come running towards them.
"Well hello my angel!" Ciro says while hugging Jill
"Hey Ciro, how are you?" Jill friendly asks with a smile on her face
"I'm doing great thanks!" He answers with a big grin
"Hey Jill, how have you been." Kevin asks, also hugging her
"I've been doing perfectly fine, thank you Kevin." Jill answers
Erik is looking proudly at how his girlfriend is socializing with his teammates, but the sparkle in his eyes dissapears when he sees Mario sprinting towards Jill and when she sees him, she starts running too. Erik knows Mario and Marco are still together, but it still hurts him to see Jill with Mario, especially now he knows Mario was always her first choice, he knew, but he still thinks of it at moments like this.
Marco joins the party now too. Erik has already said 'hi' to Mario and they were just chatting, but Marco joins and they fall silent. "Hey Jill" Marco starts
"Hey Marco, Jill says not exactly knowing if she should hug him or not. Marco leans in and they hug, but it's kinda awkward. Then he comes to Erik
"Hello faggot." He spits
"Look who's saying it." Erik says instantly knowing this was a big mistake
"What did you say?!" Marco angrily whispers, but Erik decides he has to stand for his words
"You heared me. Nice to see you too." He says. Something in Marco snaps and he punches Erik in the face at full speed, and Marco's a strong one.
"Wtf Marco! Jill and Mario shout at the same time. Jill quickly sits down beside Erik who's seeing black spots dance around his vision
"Are you okay babe? oh my god your nose is bleeding. Babe? Erik!" Jill shouts as Erik loses consiousness
"Marco, what the fuck!" Ciro jells
"He called me a faggot!" Marco defends himself
"That's not true, you called him a faggot and he returned that. You two were even." Jill says with tears in her eyes
2 medics run onto the field with a brancard, followed by Klopp. They lift Eric onto the brancard and they walk towards the changingrooms. Jill walks right behind the medics. She looks back at Marco once, tears are still rolling down her face. Marco's heart sinks as he sees her walking behind her boyfriend. He knows she'll hate him.
"Ciro, go after her and make sure she's okay." Mario says to one of Erik's best friends
"I'm doing this for her, but I'm not done with you Reus." he spits
Klopp comes walking towards the group of players that's surrounding Marco. As he passes Ciro he says,
"Keep it calm Ciro, I know you're angry, but I'll handle this. Don't worry. Go after Jill now. She and Erik need you." Ciro nodds and runs towards Jill
He puts an arm around her shoulders as they follow the medics. "It's going to be okay, he isn't dying."
"I know, but I thought Marco wanted to be friends again and now he did this. He has hurt my cutie. I'm so mad at him at the moment. First he took Mario, I found my own happines, and now this." She says hugging Ciro
"I know baby, leave him be please. I know you still want to be friends, but I think he'll keep hurting you and that's exactly what Erik thinks too." Ciro says comforting Jill
"What does Erik think?" Erik says opening his eyes, but he groans immediatly after he says that.
"Hey baby, how are you?" Jill asks grabbing Erik's hand
Erik points at his jaw and nose. And he has an headache, but he won't be able to express that without words without Jill spacing out. De medics walk in and ask Jill and Ciro to leave. Erik puts his thumbs up and smiles a little to Jill to comfort her. She smiles a little and leaves the room.
'Goddamn you Marco. That you'd hurt me is one thing, but Jill..' is all Erik can think about before he passes out again because of the medics setting his jaw and nose
