𝐖𝐎𝐒𝐎 𝐗 𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐑 𝐏𝐓.𝟐

You did your best. (Alexia Putellas)

It was the first leg of the semi finals, the game had started earlier than the other games before. You were excited to go watch your girlfriend play though so you didn't mind going. You'd seen the girls at training so you were positive they were going to take this win. 

Except when the whistle blew and the match ended, chelsea left with a point and barca lost. They had lost the first game at home, you knew alexia was going to be heartbroken. You were heartbroken for them, you'd seen how hard they were working for this game. But the only thing giving you comfort was the fact that it was only the first leg.

Meaning they still had another game where they can make a comeback.

You drove home alone, alexia had driven by herself to the game so you took your car. When you got home there was no one inside of the house, alexia still wasn't home. You got undressed and into more comfortable clothes, that was the only good thing about the match starting early today. You had the rest of the day off and had the evening with Alexia. 

As soon as you finished getting dressed you heard the front door open and shut right after. You walked over to the front door, alexia walked right past you not even acknowledging you. You weren't upset at her, you knew she had tried her best out there. You decided to give her time by herself, space is probably what she wanted. She would come to you when she was ready. 

After about 30 minutes of alexia getting home, you heard she shower running. You were in the kitchen making dinner, alexia had gotten out of the shower since you heard the water stop running. You finished dinner up and served it on her plate and yours. After a few minutes, alexia came outside of the bedroom. 

Alexia's hair was still wet and damp, she had this disappointed look on her face. You couldn't help but feel bad for her, you weren't sure if she was mad or upset. 

"Dinner's ready.." you said in a soft voice. Alexia made her way to the kitchen table, sitting down in her usual spot. You served yourself some wine and brought the whole bottle to the table. You sat down and looked at alexia, she was just staring at the food, not moving.

You took a deep breath in and let it out seconds later. 

"Alexia." you said, alexia's eyes shot up art you. "I don't like seeing you like this- you..." you began talking. "You did your best." you told her. Alexia shook her head and put her hand at her forehead, rubbing it a little. "I let everyone down.." alexia breathed out. 

"You didn't- you never know what could happen at these games.." you said. "You did your best and that's all that matters, you and the girls can play better for the next game." you held alexia's hand over the table. 

Alexia game you half a smile, it was better than that pouty face she had a few seconds ago. You smiled at her and nodded. "I'm sorry, i didn't win today.." alexia apologized. "Don't apologize, please...you did good in my eyes. You can use this to fuel yourself up for the next weekend." you said rubbing the top of her hand. 

"You're right...i just- i can't believe we lost the game...it was a home game." alexia scoffed letting your hand go. She began eating and you did as well, "I know, it's disappointing but i know you can do better next game..i believe in you. It's okay." you said. 

You meant every word of what you were saying, you weren't upset at alexia for not winning. Yes, it was disappointing but you knew this would only better them for the next game. Maybe this is what they needed.

"I love you..you always know what to say to make me feel better." alexia smiled at you. "I love you too." you nodded. 

"This food is amazing by the way." alexia smiled at you.
