Chapter 3

Lewis Hall's Point of View

3rd September 2024

Tear stained face, just lying curled up in an empty and cold bed. I heard the keys to the front door click in place, and unlock the door. The door closed again, and things was placed down in the hallway. Only a minute or so passed until I heard footsteps starting to walk towards the bedroom. I heard the door open gently and him entering. The door was lightly closed once again and he walked closer to the bed. He sat down on the bed next to me, me facing the other way. He carefully placed a hand on my back, it was warm, nice and warm. There was silence for a while before he lightly sighed and began to speak. "I know words won't make up for what I did, but I'll try my best to make it up either way. I'm really sorry that I yelled at you, I was stressed out by training, and felt even more stressed when you suddenly appeared. I know it's not an excuse, but I just want you to know that I'm not mad at you at all, I was just frustrated with being on the England squad for the first time. I shouldn't had taken that out on you, Lewis. I love you, and I hope you can forgive me." Tino said with a genuine voice, as his hand still lied on my back. I hesitated to say anything, I could cry over that apology. He was letting go of me again, but I needed something... I'm always like this when I'm sad- super clingy. I quickly uncurled myself and jumped into his arms. He seemed surprised at first by the sudden touch, but then hugged me back. "Of course I can forgive you Val. I love you too..." I said with a shaky voice and a small smile. I pulled out and stared into his confused eyes. Everytime I looked into his eyes, I felt like I fell in love all over again. Especially when I'm down. "I love you..." I whispered, leaning in and kissing him on the lips. He didn't kiss back, so I pulled away. He smiled and pulled me back in, this time him kissing back. We pulled away, him smiling confusedly at me. "I thought you'd be mad?" he said with a little confused laugh. "I couldn't be mad at you..." I said, wrapping my arms around his neck. "Really?" he asked, teasingly pushing me down, and him getting on top of me. I felt a bit uneasy, but also loving it at the same time. He only noticed the uneasy part though and quickly got off, just hugging me again. "I love you..." he repeated softly into my neck. Our fingers locked together, and I whispered in his ear: "I love you too." for the millionth time. But it was true, 'cause I really do love him. And... he really loves me, and we're just happy... well... most of the time.
