The month of May had arrived, and with it, the long-awaited Met Gala. However, for Brooklyn and Alex, the last month had been especially difficult. Tension between them had intensified after Calvin Harris released the song This Is What You Came For without the consent of Brooklyn, who had written the song. The situation had tested their relationship in a way they had never experienced before.

Meanwhile, Alex had received a call to attend the international camps, where she would decide if she would enter the list of players who would represent the country in the next Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. This meant that she would have to leave Brooklyn alone for a while, just when she needed her the most.

"I'm sorry, Brook. I wish I could stay with you, but..." Alex said sadly, as she prepared to leave for the camp.

"I understand, Al. Don't worry about me, I'll be fine." Brooklyn responded, trying to hide her distress.

Despite her words of encouragement, Brooklyn stayed home alone, feeling empty in her heart. She missed Alex more than she could put into words, and the situation with Calvin Harris only made things worse.

On the other hand, Alex did her best at the international camps, knowing that her performance there would determine whether she would fulfill her dream of representing her country in the Olympics. Although she was excited for the opportunity, she couldn't help but worry about Brooklyn and how she would be dealing with all of this alone at home.

As the date of the Met Gala approached, Brooklyn felt more anxious than ever. She knew that she would have to face the media and public attention without Alex by her side, and the thought of it filled her with dread.

However, she knew that she had to be strong, for herself and for Alex. She took a deep breath and prepared to face whatever her destiny had in store for her. Because, at the end of the day, she knew that as long as she had Alex in her heart, she could overcome any obstacle that stood in her way.

The night of the Met Gala had finally arrived, and both Brooklyn and Alex had been invited to the prestigious event. Although they were excited for the opportunity to attend, they were also nervous about having to face the public spotlight without yet revealing their relationship.

They were in separate dressing rooms, each preparing for the big night. Despite being in the same place, the distance between them seemed greater than ever.

Brooklyn looked at herself in the mirror, trying to calm the nerves she felt. He was wearing a stunning dress designed especially for her, but inside her, her heart was pounding. She knew she would have to face the media and public attention alone, and the thought of it filled her with dread.

Alex was in another dressing room, dressed in an elegant ball gown. She looked at herself in the mirror, trying to keep her composure despite the nerves she felt. She knew that tonight would be difficult for Brooklyn, and that worried her more than anything else.

They both felt alone, despite being surrounded by people. They longed to be together, sharing this important moment in their lives. But they knew it wasn't yet the right time to reveal their relationship to the world.

Finally, it was time to leave. Brooklyn and Alex met briefly in the hallway, exchanging loving and supportive glances before heading down the red carpet separately.

As the night wore on, Alex felt a little calmer knowing that Brooklyn wasn't completely alone. She had heard that Gigi Hadid, a good friend from Brooklyn, had been by her side all night at the Met Gala.

Although they couldn't be together publicly, Alex knew that Gigi would be great company for Brooklyn. The model had proven to be a loyal and supportive friend, and Alex was grateful that she was there to support Brooklyn in her absence.

As she watched from afar, Alex noticed how Gigi and Brooklyn shared laughter and animated conversations. Seeing Brooklyn smile calmed her heart and made her feel a little more relieved.

Throughout the night, Alex stayed in touch with Brooklyn via text messages, sending her words of encouragement and love. Although they couldn't be together physically, the love they shared gave them strength to face any challenge.

As she watched Brooklyn from afar at the bar, Alex felt someone approaching. When she turned around, she came face to face with Tree Paine, Brooklyn's publicist.

"Hi Alex. How are you? " Tree greeted with a friendly smile.

"Hello, Tree. I'm fine thanks." Alex responded, feeling a little surprised by the unexpected meeting.

Tree glanced at Brooklyn, who was talking animatedly to Gigi Hadid at the other end of the room. "Brooklyn looks amazing tonight, right?" Tree commented with a smile. "I'm sure she's grateful to have Gigi here to support her."

"Yes, definitely. I'm so glad Gigi is with her tonight." Alex responded, nodding her head.

"She is a great friend. She is always there for Brooklyn when she needs her." Tree nodded approvingly.

Alex nodded, feeling grateful for Gigi's support of Brooklyn. "Yes I know. I'm so grateful she's here tonight."

There was a moment of silence as they both watched Brooklyn and Gigi talk, laughing.

"Well, Alex, I have to go back to work. But if you need anything, don't hesitate to tell me, okay?" Tree said, putting a hand on Alex's shoulder kindly.

'Thanks, Tree. I appreciate it." Alex responded, feeling comforted by the Brooklyn publicist's words of support.

With a smile, Tree walked away from her to continue with her duties, leaving Alex to ponder her thoughts as she watched Brooklyn and Gigi enjoy the night together. Although they couldn't be together publicly, Alex knew that as long as they were surrounded by loyal friends like Gigi and supported by people like Tree.

Later that night, Brooklyn and Alex left the party through the back door together, with the discreet help of Tree Paine. Believing they had not been seen, they attempted to leave discreetly to avoid unwanted media attention. However, the next day, they realized that their departure had not gone unnoticed.

Social media and tabloids were filled with photos of Brooklyn and Alex leaving the party together, and soon the news went viral. Everyone was talking about how the two women had left the Met Gala together, right before the party ended.

Although Brooklyn and Alex had been friends publicly for years, ever since Brooklyn invited the United States team to one of her concerts after they won the Women's World Cup in 2015, some fans began to speculate that their relationship went beyond friendship. friendship. There were videos and photos of the two of them very close together, fueling speculation about the true nature of their relationship.

For Brooklyn and Alex, the unwanted media attention was overwhelming. Although they knew their love was real, they weren't ready to make it public. However, they comforted each other knowing that they had each other's support in the midst of all this unwanted attention.

As news of their departure from the Met Gala together continued to spread, Brooklyn and Alex prepared to face a new level of public scrutiny. But they knew that as long as they were together, they could overcome any obstacle that stood in their way. Because at the end of the day, their love was stronger than any rumor or speculation. Was it?
