DANNA'S POV

The World Cup has been so entertaining so far. Spain's already made it to the round of 16, and today no matter what happens, both Portugal and England will be going to the round of 16 too.

I do hope that Portugal wins though, that's my man's team.

I'm waiting for the game to start, but the guys are warming up on the field right now.

I've been texting Isa about everything, and she wished luck to Joao earlier through FaceTime, as well as the other guys.

I know that it was her decision to stay home, but it just feels like she should be here. Things are so different without her.

As I'm scrolling through my social media on my phone, I feel someone's presence walk up to me.

I look up to see none other than my boyfriend...and his boyfriend.

"Hi baby," Joao says as he puckers his lips, signaling that he wants a kiss.

I oblige and give him a quick peck, and then I turn to Jude and offer him a smile. "Hi Jude."

"Hey Dani."

"Are you guys done warming up?" I ask, wondering why they're with me instead of with the team.

"Yeah," Joao answers. "We have to go to our locker rooms right now, I just wanted a good luck kiss before the game starts. And I don't know why Jude followed me."

Jude slightly shoved him after his words, and Joao just laughed. "I'm going inside, you two can talk," Joao says as he starts walking away and into the tunnel.

I watch as Joao leaves, and then turn back to Jude. "What's up bud?"

"Um," he nervously says as he scratches the back of his head. "The guys mentioned to me that Isa wasn't coming, I just wanted to ask you if it was true."

"oh, um yeah," I say with a sad tone before quickly adding, "but she said she might change her mind."

I notice as the look in his eyes goes from sadness to hope. "really?"

"do you think she actually would though?"

My lips curve into a sad smile, "maybe." The truth behind my words is obvious, it's not very likely that she's going to change her mind.

"I'm sorry," I apologize.

He nods, "yeah, it's okay."

I can't help but feel like he's thinking of something else, obviously he's bummed that Isa isn't here, it just feels like it's more than that.

"Is there something else on your mind Jude?" I decide to ask.

He shakes his head, "no...I just wanted to know if she was going to show up or not."

He gives me a tight smile, that I can immediately tell is fake. "Bye Dani."

"Bye Jude," I say as I watch him walk off into the tunnel as well.

I really can't help but feel bad for the guy...I wonder what's going through his mind.

And whatever it is, hopefully it doesn't affect the way that he plays today.
