Siempre te voy a querer

Chapter 17

As the team gathered for practice, Isa's absence once again caught their attention. Kevin couldn't help but ask Edson about her whereabouts.

"¿Dónde está Isa?" Kevin inquired, his curiosity evident.

"Esta estudiando para sus exámenes" Edson replied with a smile.

As they walked to the locker rooms Santiago couldn't help but ask where Isa was.

"Donde esta Isa?" He asked.

Edson's response was terse and guarded. "¿Ahora te importa? ¿Te gusta o qué, cabrón?" he replied, his tone tinged with bitterness.

"Cálmate, wey, nomás estaba preguntando," Santiago interjected, trying to diffuse the tension.

"Se quedó estudiando," Edson answered curtly, turning his attention back to getting ready for practice.

Santiago knew that Edson needed time to forgive him for the way he had treated Isa in the past. As they headed out to the field to start practice, Santiago couldn't shake the feeling of guilt that weighed heavily on him.

During practice, Ozziel noticed Edson's somber expression and decided to inquire about Isa's absence.

"Kevin, ¿dónde está Isa?" Ozziel asked, concerned by the tension he sensed.

"Me dijo Edson que se quedó estudiando para sus exámenes finales," Kevin replied, his voice tinged with understanding.

"Ah, okay," Ozziel responded, though he couldn't
shake the nagging worry for Isa's well-being.

As practice progressed, the team focused on their drills and exercises, but Edson's mind kept drifting back to Isa and her dedication to her studies. He couldn't help but feel a twinge of guilt for the way he had snapped at Santiago earlier, even though he knew his friend was genuinely concerned.

Meanwhile, Santiago couldn't shake the feeling of unease that lingered within him. He knew he had hurt Isa in the past, and seeing Edson's reaction only served as a painful reminder of the consequences of his actions. He resolved to make amends and earn back Edson's trust, no matter how long it took.

As the day wore on, the team wrapped up practice, each member dispersing to go about their own evening routines. Edson couldn't shake the worry gnawing at him, and he made a mental note to check in on Isa later to see how she was doing with her studies.

Santiago, on the other hand, made a silent vow to himself to do better—to be a better friend to Edson and to make things right with Isa. He knew he had a long road ahead of him, but he was determined to make things right, no matter what it took.

As they parted ways for the evening, both Edson and Santiago carried with them the weight of their actions and the hope for a brighter future—one where they could all move forward together, as a team.

After practice, Ozziel felt a pang of concern for Isa, so he decided to text her to check in.

"¿Estás bien, Isa?" he typed out, his fingers hovering over the send button.

Isa's response came quickly, alleviating some of his worry. "Sí, estoy bien, solo cansada porque he estado estudiando desde las 7 am y ahora son las 3 pm," she replied.

Ozziel smiled at her response, glad to hear she was okay. Without hesitation, he extended an invitation. "¿Quieres pasar el día juntos? Podemos ir a la playa," he suggested.

Isa's reply was swift and enthusiastic. "¡Claro que sí! Me encantaría," she agreed.

So, they made their way to the beach, spending the afternoon swimming, playing games, and chatting until the sun began to dip below the horizon.

As the sky painted hues of orange and pink, Ozziel suggested they grab a snack from the street vendor nearby. He bought Isa an elote and a Coca Cola, watching as she enjoyed the simple pleasure of street food.

"Gracias, Ozzie," Isa said, grateful for his thoughtfulness. She leaned in and placed a kiss on his cheek, causing him to blush furiously.

Ozziel's heart fluttered at the gesture, but he managed to regain his composure. He escorted Isa back to her house, where Edson was waiting.

"Gracias por traerla de vuelta sana y salva, Ozziel," Edson said, expressing his gratitude.

Ozziel nodded, a warm smile on his face. "De nada, hermano. Siempre estoy aquí para Isa," he replied before bidding them goodnight and heading home, his heart full with the memories of their day together.
