Yours truly

Chapter 2

I wake up and look at my phone. It was 7:30. I knew that Jude has training at 9:00. I only have to get there at 13:00 for a meeting. Since he still has a hour left, you let him sleep. I get up quietly and go to the bathroom. I fresh up and then I do my skincare. Afterwards I quietly get downstairs and starts to prepare breakfast. I make some eggs and some bacon to eat it with toast. I look at my watch, realizing it was time to wake up Jude, because it was already 8:00. I went upstairs only to hear that Jude was talking on the phone with someone. I wanted to head downstairs again when I heard the name „Laura" drop. I let out a sigh but I didn't want to eavesdrop on the conversation so I knocked on the bathroom door.
„I made breakfast, just letting you know"
„Be right there, thanks Love" he replies.
I head back down, grab a glass and start to pour some water in it. I needed something cold to fresh up my mind. While I was drinking, I hear Jude coming down the stairs.
„Smells lovely" he smiles.
I smile back at him. I didn't want to confront him until he talks about it by himself, so I just waited.
We both sit down at the kitchen table and started eating.
„How did you sleep?" I ask to kill the silence.
„Next to you, I always sleep well" he says grinning.
„Glad you got enough sleep. Ready for training today?"
„More then ready and also excited. I might know more about the Real Madrid offer"
„Ahh yeah right." I realize that my tone in my voice sounded nothing like excitement for him. I felt bad about it but I can't help it. Yes, it is his business and I have nothing to do with it but already talking so early with his ex girlfriend . It just gives me an uneasy feeling. While we were taking our last bites, the door bell rang. I glance a look at the clock and realize that it was already 8:25. He must leave soon otherwise he will be late and has to pay a fine. I knew it could only have been Denise, picking him up to drive him to training.
„Guess it's time to leave. Just leave it there I will clean it up." I say to him
while walking towards the door, opening it.
„Good morning sweetheart. Sleep well?" she says, smiling her lovely smile at you and giving you a hug and coming in.
„Morning Denise. Slept good and you?" I say hugging her back.
„Yeah, slept well too."
„Have you eaten yet? If not, there is still some food left I just made."
„Ohh, I would never say no to your food" she says smiling.
I head to the kitchen with her, where Jude was cleaning the dishes. Denise goes up to him giving him a kiss on the cheeks and hugging him.
„Jude, you could have just left it there. I can do it" you say while preparing food for Denise.
„You already cooked Yn. Least I can do. Mom are you going to eat?"
„Yes, I am. And in the meantime you can finish preparing" She says while she eats her first bite.
„Lovely as always Yn"
„Thank you Denise, enjoy. And thank you Jude for cleaning up"
„Yn, can you please help me pack, I can't find my socks"
„Yeah sure. Be alright?" I ask Denise
She nodded so I head upstairs with Jude, him being behind me.
I head inside the bedroom first and look into his packed bag, noticing that his socks were there.
„Jude, your socks are already in-„
„I know I know" ,he interrupted me, „I just wanted to talk to you in private" he lets out a sigh.
„Tell me Yn, whats wrong?"
„Nothing, why should there be something wrong?"
„Oh really? Nothing? Well let's start of with the fact you have been calling me by my name the whole time. Also we sat there eating breakfast together in silence for around five minutes when you suddenly decided to break the silence. You also didn't sound excited at all when I told you about my excitement because of Real Madrid. So tell me what is going on"
I let out a sigh. There was no point in acting everything was fine. He always knew when something was up or wrong with me or if something was bothering me.
„I heard you talking on the phone and I heard the name „Laura"
„This again" Jude says sounding annoyed.
„Well I'm sorry Jude. It's one thing to break up and still be friends and it's one thing to still have her number saved in your phone talking to her almost everyday"
„I told you alre-"
„I know you just there to help and so on and I think it's very nice of you to offer your help but please put yourself in my shoes. Would you like me talking to my ex or still have his number saved?"
„Yn, did you eavesdrop on my private conversation?" he says looking your deep in your eyes. His tone got deeper, meaning he was mad but you also started getting mad as well.
„Wow, do you really think I am capable of doing such a thing? No I did NOT. And did you even listen to anything I just said?" I was getting more mad that he thought of me that way. „And for your clarification, I wanted to check if you were already awake or not and I just overheard her name. Nothing else. But the way you act right now just seems suspicious."
„Are you accusing me of cheating?" He says in disbelief.
„I did not say that. I just said that your acting is suspicious"
„Yn, I told you yesterday already that you have nothing to worry about Laura but if you being so jealous of me helping someone going through mental stuff then I don't even know any-" just before he could finish his sentence, his phone, which he threw on top of his bag before started ringing. We both look at the caller ID and i let out a grin.
„Speak of the devil, great timing it is" I say being ironic. Jude take his phone and put it on airplane mode.
„Look, I am tired of fighting over her again and again. If you can't trust me, then I don't know either" he says while zipping his bag „Relationships are built on trust and communication. If you can't trust me with her, what should we do then? I can't just abandon her and never talk to her again." he shakes his head and whispers: „Shouldn't have done this before training"
I heard what he said and I was hurt by it.
„I am so sorry that I am bothering you with problems I have in this relationship. Have a fun training. No need to come over today after training. "With those words, I go outside the room, leaving Jude behind. I head downstairs and go into the kitchen. Denise was sitting at the table, looking at her phone. I go to the sink and start to do the dishes.
„Something wrong, sweetheart?"
„Jude is wrong" I say letting out a little smile.
„Aww come here sweetheart. Don't worry it will be alright." Denise gives me a hug and I feel better immediately.
„Mom let's go" Jude came down in the meantime and look through the kitchen door, seeing Denise hugging me. He didn't even look at me and I felt hurt.
„I will wait in the car, Mom" and then he left. I started tearing up. No matter what, no matter how big our fight, we decided to never leave the house without a goodbye kiss or a hug and to never just leave without even saying goodbye. It was always Jude, coming to me and saying goodbye. He didn't do any of them. It wasn't our first fight either. Why would he act that way? Was she that important to him that he could just ignore me?
„Don't cry, Yn" Denise comforts you.
„ I will be alright, you should go now" I say while forcing a smile.
„It will be fine. I love you" she says giving me a kiss in the cheeks and heading out. As soon as I heard the door close, I burst out in tears.
