Goal!: The Final Chapter!

Chapter 8

Two days later, Maire continues with her treatment, with Jordan doing the same thing and at the same time as Maire.

Meanwhile, in the waiting room...

Gael is waiting for Maire, while both Beth and Leah are waiting for Jordan. Gael is looking at his phone, while Leah is bouncing her red ball, and Beth is looking at a magazine.

A bored Beth puts the magazine back before looking at Leah, who is always bouncing her ball a little higher than usual.

Beth then realizes that Leah has been trying to get her ball to get closer to Geal, who is a few seats beside them. Once the ball finally heads over to the seat closer to Gael, which also gets his attention again. Gael looks at Leah, and hands over the ball back to her.

"Here you go" said Gael, handing the ball back to Leah.

"Thanks." said Leah, taking the ball from Gael's hand.

"Gael, I may have misjudged you a bit." said Beth

"Really? How come?" said Gael

"I'm still bummed out that you didn't let us pay for our food the other day, even though I'm the one that I invited you guys over for brunch." said Beth

"Beth, it's alright don't worry. It's cool." said Gael 

"Are you sure? I can still pay you." said Beth

"No, no it's fine Beth. Really." said Gael, as he insisted.

"Well, okay." said Beth, while whispering to Leah. "He's such a gentleman, and a caring brother too." 

"What's your favorite sport?" said Leah, asking Gael before he can sit back down on his seat.

"Basketball is my favorite sport, however, I am planning on playing hockey for my University which is USC." said Gael

"Oh, congrats on getting accepted by USC." said Leah

"Yeah." said Beth, even though neither of them knows where USC even is.

Leah searches up USC while Gael gets a notification on his phone.

Gael's face drops while looking at the notification, and decides to walk out of the room.

Both Leah and Beth watch as Gael leaves.

"I'm going to follow him." said Leah, as she turns to Beth. "He's still new around these areas, so I have to follow him before he gets lost."

"You go with him." said Beth, as she tells Leah. "I'll wait for Jordan and Maire."

Leah nods her head before leaving following Gael, as Beth stays back to wait for Jordan and Maire.

Moments later, Maire and Jordan head to the waiting room where they find Beth waiting for them.

"You would've told me that the bars were close to me, I would've tripped you know!" said Jordan, to Maire.

"I did, three times." said Maire, as she tells Jordan. "But apparently you wouldn't listen, because you thought that I was joking."

Jordan grunts.

Beth looks at the two of them, and lets out a chuckle.

"Watching the two of you argue it's just too cute!" said Beth, as she smiles at them both. "You Two remind me of two little kids arguing all of the time. Ain't that sweet."

Maire and Jordan looked at each other, while shrugging.

"Oh my goodness Beth, you are so weird." said Jordan

"Why thank you, Jordan." said Beth, winking to Jordan making her feel weird.

Maire starts to look around for Gael, and after realizing that he wasn't in the room, she turns to Beth.

"Hey, Beth um would you happened to know of where's Gael?" said Maire

"Gael? Oh right, he stepped out for a bit." said Beth

"What about Leah?" said Jordan, asking for Leah.

"She stepped out for a bit too." said Beth

Neither Maire nor Jordan knew that Gael had stepped out of the room, along with Leah following him.

"Maire, since Gael stepped out I'll have to take you back where you are staying." said Beth, in which she and Jordan agree.

"Okay." said Maire, as she agrees as well.

"Starting a contest on the way back?" said Jordan, as the three of them were walking in the hallway.

"Nope." said Maire

"Why are you too scared?" said Jordan, taunting.

"No, it's not that. I think it's best to just play that in the waiting room, and not on the streets." said Maire, as she explains. "Because, one of us might end up in a pothole, and the other one is going to be too busy celebrating, while the other one is stuck. So, in my defense, I think we should just continue this game in the waiting room."

"And I agree," said Beth, agreeing with Maire.

"Beth!" said Jordan, as she whined.

"Jordan, she has a point. Last time you almost did fall into a pothole, but that one was closed." said Beth, as she reminds Jordan. "Like Maire said, it's best to be playing that hand in the waiting room."

"Fine." said Jordan

While walking out of the building, Maire, Beth, and Jordan, find Leah hugging Gael in the front step almost close to the entrance.

Maire, Beth, and Jordan gasp, while turning their reaction into a dumbfounded look.

Beth, who was in between Maire and Jordan leans to their ears.

"Looks like Cupid's arrow did strike the two love birds" said Beth, whispering to the two of them.

In which Maire and Jordan finally realize what Beth meant at the cafe.

"Ohh..." said both Maire and Jordan, while replying.

Just then, Beth grabs a hold of both Jordan and Maire from their sweaters and drags them inside of the building before both Leah and Gael can notice that they are watching them.

"Beth!" said Jordan

"Shhh..." said Beth, shushing her. "I want to see."

Once Leah and Gael pull away from their hug Maire, Beth, and Jordan, walk outside like if they didn't do anything.

"Ready to go?" said Beth, to Gael and Leah.

Gael nods.

"Yeah." said Gael, as he later turns to Leah. "And Leah, thank you."

"Anytime." said Leah, back.

Both Gael and Maire leave.

Leah looks back at Gael, who also looks back at her as well.

"Oooh." said Beth, as she oohed. "What was that about?"

Leah, sighs before walking away from them. Beth and Jordan follow her from behind.

"Leah?" said Beth, questioning her.

"Oh come on Leah, what was that about?" said Jordan, also questioning her.

"Leah?" said Beth, questioning her again.

"Come on, Leah. You're going to leave us with a doubt!" said Jordan

"Leah?" said Beth, continuing to question her. "What did we miss?"

Leah, Beth, and Jordan, continued walking their way.
