Playing her

Moving On

Neymar POV

Running was my thing, my escape really. when coach asked everyone to do laps I immediately without even joining my team mates who where complaining, just ran. my head felt clear, for the first time. I wasn't afraid of what the possibility could be, I wasn't thinking about some creep trying to hurt my girlfri- ex girlfriend and I.

It felt like hours, but my knees finally gave in and I stumbled to the floor laying on the grass breathing heavily.

"Damn your fast" Oscar said catching up to me

"That's why everyone calls me the speed of light" I say smiling

"I've never heard anybody call you that" Oscar said

"Well they should" I state

He put his hand out and I grabbed it, as he pulled me up I saw the rest of the boys walking my way.

"Junior make sure you run like that on the game on Friday"

"Obviously, they don't call him the speed of light for nothing!" Oscar shouted

Oscar and I laughed hysterically, our inside joke wasn't appealing to the boys who just looked confused.

"Alright lovebirds, how about we leave you two alone." Suarez says

"No need to be jealous" Oscar said "what me and Neymar have, man.. words can't describe"

"Man get off me" I say pushing Oscar jokingly

We all went to the dressing rooms, and the boys left, I went to the car park and went in my car.

I drove to my house, as I pulled up to my drive way my phone buzzed. I grabbed it.

Carly- Hey Neymar, I know we haven't talked since the whole accident... last week was fucked up and I know this is a lot to ask, but would you come to Mals funeral with me?

Neymar- of course I'll go with you carls, come to mine when your ready.

I put my phone into my pocket and sighed heavily, the reason I've been avoiding her is because of Blair, their identical twins and my life has been going great without thinking about that bitch.

"Brother" Rafa bears hugs me as soon as I enter the house.

"Hey sis" I say hugging her back

"I was worried something might have happened to you" she says looking at me concerned

Everyday for the past week Rafa has been here with me, trying to keep and eye on me.. she cooks, cleans she even fired the personal stuff I had so that I would be around only her, she's been very very protective which is cute but I'm the big brother and I should be protecting her.

I went upstairs and put on my black suite, I came down too see Carly and Rafa talking.

"Watch your back at all times okay?" Rafa says hugging me

I drove Carly to the funeral and she hasn't said a word yet.

We went inside the church and it was full off young people.

"Why is there cops?" I asked Carly

"Everyone here is from the hospital, you know that place I was in? The crazy house." she whispers

"His parents?"

"Doesn't have any" she said again

"You know I really liked mal, he was a good guy." I said putting my arm around Carly

"You were mals girlfriend ?" A girl approaches Carly

"Yes"

"You were also the last one to see him" she says again.

"Whats your point" I asked irritated

she glared at me and got her attention back on Carly.

"You killed him, this is your fault" she says

Carly walked out.

"Your a bitch you know that?"

"You can't curse in church" she said in shock

"Your right, I'm sorry what I meant to say was your a fucking bitch."

I went outside and saw Carly standing beside the car, we went in and I drove off.. Carly started crying and I pulled over to the side off the empty road, no cars where around.

"Carly?" I whisper

She got out off the car slamming the door, I was shocked for a second I look out off the window too see Carly's hand in the air, then I heard a loud scream.

I opened the car door and walked too Carly who was hysterically crying, she was broken. I put my arms around her and she cried on my shoulder, it felt like twenty minutes had passed and she got off me and was quite.

"I needed to get that all out.. sorry" she says

"why are you apologising"

"Well I just cried all over you, and ruined your black shirt.. my makeup" she said

I looked at my shoulder and let out a laugh, Carly joined and laugh as well.

"I don't want to lose anyone I care about anymore" I said

"don't be afraid to lose people. sometimes you need to let go of the toxic people in your life in order to realize who's been down forever" Carly says

"You think Blair is.. toxic ?" I asked

"Yes, don't tell me you miss her" Carly says in disgust

"No, I still find it hard to believe that.. my- I mean.. I can't believe she would do any of this, it's still surreal to me"

"She fucking played you, please don't feel anything for her Neymar it isn't fair to you." Carly says

I couldn't control my emotions this time, tears sprung down my face I turned around.

"Hey you don't have to hide your feelings from me, I'm not Blair" Carly whispers

"I just-"

"you just what ?" Carly says squeezing my hand

I place her hand next to my mouth and kiss it softly my eyes closed.

"I'm moving tomorrow, the team and I are going on tour.. we have a lot of matches this season, I just want to say goodbye.. for now"

"I'm glad your leaving actually, you deserve to be happy" Carly says hugging me tightly

"I feel like things are going to be different.. good different"

"text me when you can" Carly says smiling, she walked to the car

I went in the car and drove off into the sunset. I watched with an unwavering gaze, as a fiery red orb of light slowly sank beneath the horizon, and threads of light lingered in the sky, mingling with the rolling clouds, dyeing the heavens first orange, then red, then dark blue, until all that was left of the sunset was a tiny light

I looked at Carly who was smiling as the wind was all over her hair, she looked at me and for a second I thought it was Blair. I forced myself to look on the road.

I needed to forget about Blair, and hopefully moving far far away from her will work.

"You still thinking about her huh?" Carly says

"She went from bae to bye real quick"
