pedri 🇮🇨 🥵

Camila :
Pedri Pops gave me the green light.

Pedri :
You headin' back?

Camila :
You bet. Think you can swing by and pick me up at 4am?

Pedri :
4am? That's real early, even for me. What's the rush?

Camila :
Can't stand bein' here a second longer, you feel me?

Pedri :
Alright, alright. But why'd you need me specifically?

Camila :
Tryna hit the boys with a lil' surprise

Pedri :
Surprises, huh?

Camila :
pleeease? I need my ride.

Pedri :
Ah, what the heck. See you bright and early.

Camila :
You're the best! See you then!

I was at the airport, eagerly awaiting the arrival of my plane, when Pedri sent me a text, asking to be informed once I was about to land. As soon as the plane touched down, I quickly reached out to Pedri and he promptly shared his location with me. I navigated through the bustling airport until I finally spotted him.

"Hey Pedri," I greeted him with a warm smile.

"Hey Camila, how was your dad's?" he inquired as we began to walk.

I glanced around before finally opening up to Pedri during our drive together. Tears welled up in my eyes, prompting him to pull the car over.

"Camila, look at me," he gently urged.

I turned my head slightly, meeting his gaze. He reassured me, "I know we haven't known each other for a long time, but you can trust me with anything. I won't judge you."

I proceeded to confide in him about my father, who had instilled in me a deep love fútbol . Despite my success in the sport, my father doubted my abilities and insisted I pursue a "real" job. I poured out my heart to Pedri, sharing how my father had shown unwavering support for my sister's volleyball dreams while overlooking my aspirations.

As I bared my soul, I noticed understanding and empathy in Pedri's eyes, bringing me a sense of comfort and relief.

"Camila, I'm truly sorry that your dad doesn't believe in you, but remember, you don't need his approval. You have us, and we will stand by you until the end. The guys care about you deeply," Pedri reassured me.

Grateful for his support, I expressed my disbelief at having cried in front of him.

"Why's that?" he inquired.

"It took me a while to feel this vulnerable in front of the guys," I admitted.

"Don't worry, Camila. I'll always be here for you, ready to listen whenever you need to talk," Pedri promised.

"Thank you, Pedri. Now, let's get going, dummy," I teased, a hint of lightness returning to our conversation.

Pablo🧻:.

Pablo:
Are you coming home, Camila?

Camila:
No, he said no because he thinks fútbol is not a real job.

Pablo:
So you're missing my pool party?

Camila:
I'm sorry.

Pablo
It's not your fault, it's your dad's.

Camila:
I know, but I still feel bad.

Pablo
Don't worry about it.

Camila:
Pablo, don't be like that.

Pablo
I'm not being anything, I just wish my best friend was coming.

Camila:
I hate my dad for this.

Pablo
I have to go back to training. Bye.

Camila:
Bye, sorry

Jude🍆

Jude:
We need to talk. I need to have a serious conversation with my best friend.

Camila:
What do you need, Jude? I'm here for you.

Jude:
I've received an offer.

Camila
An offer for what?

Jude:
To play for a real team.

Camila
Like Real Madrid, our rival team?

Jude:
Yes, that's right.

Camila
Did you take them up on the offer?

Jude:
I don't know what to do. I know that Pedri and Gavi are here, and I'm just not going to get the playing time I need. But leaving this team, leaving all of you... it's tearing me apart.

Camila
Jude, you know how much we'll miss you if you leave. We need you here with us. You can't leave us, not like this.

Jude:
My family thinks I should take the offer. They think it's the best move for my career. But I don't want to abandon my team, my friends...

Camila
Did you tell the rest of the team about this? They need to know.

Jude:
No, I don't want to ruin Pablo's party . I love him too much to do that to him right now. I just... I don't know what to do.

Camila
Whatever you choose, Jude, I'll be there for you. We all will. But I'm begging you, don't leave us.

Jude:
Thank you, Camila. I knew I could count on you to understand. This is the hardest decision I've ever had to make.

Camila
I know, Jude. I know. Just know that we love you, no matter what. Bye for now. I love you.

Jude:
Bye, Camila. I love you too.
