1 month? | Pablo Gavi

7

The next day I woke up at around 10 am. I never got up after 8:30, but today even if it was 10, I felt like I could sleep for many more hours. I noticed I had a missed call from Sophia when I looked at my phone. I didn't know how big the time difference was so I tried calling her back.

She picked up quickly. "Hi Sophia, are in finally in New York?"

"Yes, we landed like an hour ago, when I called you. Why didn't you pick up? You're always up by that time." She curiously asked.

Like did she forgot what I told her yesterday? About my plans? Obviously. "I told you we were going to a club with Isa."

"Oh yeees, you told me about this. So how was it? Did you enjoy?"

I thought if I should tell her about Mateo. I decided that why not. "It was nice actually. I met one boy there, his name is Mateo. He is super nice and I believe we will be good friends."

"That's so cool! Is he hot?" "Really? Is it the only thing you care about on a boy? And I don't even like him!" I really didn't. I never fell in love quickly.

I had only one boyfriend, and he was the best boyfriend I could ever wish for, at least in my opinion. His name was Martín.

Flashback:

It was 4 pm. I just came back from school. Martín was supposed to come over in a moment. We didn't see each other for a whole week because he was busy choosing his college and at his work and i had exam week. But now we finally both weren't busy. I was so excited to see him for real!

I heard the doorbell ring. 'It is him!' I thought. I immediately jumped off my bed and sprinted downstairs. He was standing there. These two torturing weeks felt more like 2 years to be honest.

We instantly hugged each other. I felt so safe in his arms. After we pulled away, I looked up in his eyes and he looked in mine. I saw on his eys how much he missed me. Then he kissed me and I kissed him back. It was a passionate kiss. I liked to feel his lips on mine again.

"I missed you so much bae," he said after it. I smiled. "I missed you too, Martíno." I took his hand and leaded him upstairs to my room.

When I turned around to look at him, he looked sad? I wasn't used to see him like this and I didn't like even thinking about that he is sad.

So I carefully asked him "Martín, did something happen?

"I- I need to tell you something." "So tell me." We were looking in each others eyes. I was looking for a hint what he was going to tell in his eys. I could tell it is something painful for him.

"Sam you know I love you more than anything or anyone else in the world, but I need to tell you now. You know how i was supposed to choose the college?" I just nodded. "So I told you I always wanted to go to this university in Paris."

"Ehm yeah, you mentiontioned it." I probably knew what he was going to say now.

"So I applied there. And I got accepted somehow. I think you understand that I can't deny it, even tho I thought about it-" His voice betrayed him.

I started crying. It was exactly what I expected. "Of course I understand. I wouldn't even let you stay here just because of me. I know how much it means to you." I tried to smile, but I don't think it looked like a smile.

"I knew you'll understand. But still it's isn't easy for me. And you know what do I have to do now. We need to break up Sam. I'm really sorry. Like so so sorry." In this point he started crying too.

"I know. But we'll stay friends right? We will chat and stuff?" I almost whispered because I was crying so hard I couldn't even speak.

"We will. Now- I'm sorr, but I have to go pack my things. I'm leaving tomorrow." "Tomorrow? That early?" I'm really sorry Samantha. I love you. Remember it." And he left.

End of flashback:

"Samantha? Are you still there?" I heard sophia's voice from my phone. "Uhm yeah, sure I'm here, sorry." I answered. "I just got lost in m thoughts for a moment. What did you say?"

"I said I gotta go because i have to go to sleep."

"Okay, say hi from me to parents please. Thanks for calling me." I said goodbye and hung up.

The thing with Martín was just 3 months ago. I still thought about him a lot. We also chatted a lot. But it wasn't the same as before. The thing that hurted the most is that I really loved him and I knew he loved me back. But I understood his reasons to leave.

I decided I won't think about it so much and that I'll focus on my life I'm living now.

When I opened Instagram I noticed someone followed me. When I saw it was Mateo from yesterday I smiled. So he didn't forget about me.

I decided to follow him back because why not. After a moment he texted me.

'Hi Sam. How are you?' he texted.

'I'm fine, my head just hurts from yesterday. But I'll be fine.'

'Okay, I hope so. Don't you want to see each other sometime?'

I did want to. I wanted to be friends with him. 'Of course, that would be so nice. What about tomorrow?'

'Sounds nice. I'm looking forward.'

'Me too. Now sorry I gotta go to have breakfast. Bye, cya!'

'Bye!'

Okay, so tomorrow I'll see Mateo. That's so good I'm really excited about it. I knew we were going to be friends.

Someone knocked on my door. I said "Come in!"

I thought it was going to be Aurora, but when the door opened, Gavi was standing there.

He was carrying a plate and a cup in his hands.

"Uhm hi? I didn't expect you here." I said.

"Yeah, well, me neither." He laughed. I never saw him laugh. He was pretty cute while laughing tho.

"So Mom asked me to bring you breakfast, since you didn't come down yet." He looked at me, as he wasn't sure how I was going to react.

"So here is your toast and and your tea."

His face looked so nice, the way he never looked at me before. I thought what changed.

I smiled at him. "Thank you Gavi, I appreciate it. I will thank Belen later too."

"Sure, now I should go okay? Well, enjoy your breakfast." He blurted out really quickly and left.

I didn't understand why he left so quickly, but whatever. At least he didn't act mad or whatever.
