Goal!: The Final Chapter!

Chapter 9

While walking back to their rented house, Maire and Gael's walk was silent as only the sound of their footsteps were being heard.

"Should I tell him?" said Maire, in her thoughts wondering if she should have questioned Gael about Leah. "Or should I not tell him?"

Maire wanted to question Gael about Leah, but didn't have the heart to do so, thinking that Gael wouldn't trust her back and yell at her for getting into his personal space, since he was already in a relationship with Trisha.

"Nah, I shouldn't tell him... Or should I?" said Maire, as she continued to fight in her thoughts. "Nope, I trust my brother. Gael, wouldn't cheat on Trisha. He's not like that."

After continuing to walk a couple of more steps further, Maire started to think even further into her thoughts.

"Hm, but what if... Trisha, actually cheated Gael?" said Maire, in her thoughts. "Er... that's impossible she loves him. But... Then again they haven't spoken for so long."

Just then Maire gasped in her thoughts.

"What if Trisha actually dumped him?!" said Maire, in her thoughts. "That's a little hard to believe, but then again Gael did have puffy red eyes. Oof, he's heartbroken! Trisha really dumped Gael!"

Maire looks up to Gael, in which she too knows that he has been also talking in his thoughts, when she realizes that they are going the wrong way.

"Um Gael..." said Maire, as she stopped walking while Gael continued. "We're going the wrong way."

Gael immediately stops and turns back to the right direction, before continuing to walk the right way this time.

"Poor guy, he really is heartbroken." said Maire, in her thoughts. "He didn't even admit that he was wrong, and he also didn't say that he knew that to cover it."

Maire continued walking behind Gael.

Once Gael and Maire are walking in the street that their apartment is in, Gael stops walking leaving Maire bumping him from behind.

Gael turns around to Maire, who looks up at him. After reading the sad expression on Maire's face, Gael could see that by now Maire already could tell of what was going on with him.

"You're right Maire...Trisha... Dumped me." said Gael, as he put his head down.

"Oh..." said Maire, as she didn't know what to say even though she was right. "I'm so sorry to hear that."

"Leah consoled me, after I told her the truth." said Gael, admitting to Leah.

[In a flashback...]

While walking in the hallway of the building Gael looks at Trishia's post saying "Having the best time with my BF!", while kissing another person that wasn't him.

Once outside of the building Gael sits down on the first step of the building's entrance.

"I knew that something was going on between Trisha and that guy, but I was too blind to see it." said Gael, as she puts his hands on his head. "It was just a matter of time until Trisha confirmed their relationship."

Tears started to fall from Gael's cheek.

Leah comes out of the building and sits besides Gael, while questioning if he was alright.

"Yeah... I'm fine." said Gael, as he tries to hide his face.

Even though Gael said that he was fine, Leah knew that he wasn't by the look on his face and by the sound of his voice. Leah knew that Gael was truly heartbroken.

"Hey, it's going to be okay." said Leah, as she sat down beside Gael. "What happened?"

Gael sobs.

"It's a long story." said Gael

"I have time, so don't worry." said Leah

Gael wiped his tears away.

"My girlfriend dumped me." said Gael, as he admits.

"Oh. I'm so sorry to hear that." said Leah

"We, well... before coming here to the UK we stopped talking. But before that day, we had a disagreement in which she made me choose. The thing is, she didn't ask for a break up, and I didn't either." said Gael, as he admits. "After coming here, I tried texting her and calling her, but she wouldn't answer. I sended her voicemails, and not even that she would answer."

Leah was about to say something, but decided to let Gael finish.

"That's why people say that long distance relationships are hard." said Gael, as he wipes his face again. "Especially when one of the people in a long distance relationship decides to dump you even though it hasn't been even a month yet."

Gael put his hands on his face covering it.

"You're not the only one, who had a tough long distance relationship." said Leah

Gael lifts up his face and turns to Leah.

"I had a long distance relationship with a person once, like you I was dumped the same way." said Leah, as she looks down. "Yours at least lasted for a couple of weeks, mine... Didn't."

"I'm sorry Leah, I-" said Gael, as he was cut off by Leah.

"It didn't last a week or so," said Leah, as she sighs. "I know the pain that you're feeling right now. That's the same pain that I've been feeling about a couple of months ago. I understand you perfectly, but seeing you like this also hurts me. The fire in my heart that was once there is gone, it was put out completely, and ever since then I never fell in love."

Gael was going to say something to Leah, but decided to let her speak.

"You were right, about Anna and Hans, you need time in order to get to know a person." said Leah, as she sighs. "Unfortunately, for me it wasn't at all like that."        

"If you really love a person, your love have to be pure, trustworthy, loyal, and honest." said Gael

After Gael and Leah stood up from the step, Leah hugged Gael feeling his pain.

[End of Flashback]

"Anyways, for your information... Leah and I both know that you, Beth, and Jordan were watching us, since we heard you girls from the other side." said Gael, admitting that he and Leah knew that they were spying on them. "

Maire's mouth dropped.

"Well, F-Y your I's just to let you know it was Beth's idea." said Maire, as she tells Gael. "She yanked me and Jordan back inside, and acted as if nothing happened. Anyways enough about spying on you two, what about Leah? Do you like her?"

"Well... I kinda did find comfort when I was with her." said Gael, as he rubs his neck. "But..."

"But, you're starting to like her." said Maire, as she assumes.

Gael chuckles.

"I can't deny that I do, she's an amazing person. She's caring, and sweet too, but then again I will like to get to know her first as a friend." said Gael

"Right, because all relationships start in the friend zone, and then bloom into love." said Maire, as she joked.

"Shut up!" said Gael, as he playfully tells Maire.

Gael unlocked their rented house front door, as he and Maire entered the house.
