Black and Yellow Together with Red (Goetzeus)

Chapter 21

Marco

The last time I texted Mario was several weeks ago. But I knew we would meet soon, since Die Mannschaft needed to play the pre-selection for the European Championships. I was really looking forward to it. I missed them. I honestly felt a little bit deserted. First Lewy left and then I had to deal with Mario. Which was my fault. At first he didn't want to go, but I pushed him over the edge. He had nothing to stay for. I had a lot to stay for. I wouldn't leave Mats nor Gundogan. I would miss too many people here at Dortmund. I had a lot of love for this team. It ran through my veins. I would bleed yellow blood. I didn't care about money either. All that matters is I play for the club I love the most.

There was a knock on the door and got me out of my thoughts.

I put my phone away and called out, "come in."

Erik came in and asked, "do you have everything for tomorrow?"

Erik was new at Dortmund and was going to drive with them to the airport tomorrow, cause he was also chosen for the national team. Mats has been told to keep an eye on the new guy. He asked us both to sleep at his place so we could go together.

"I need to check." I answered.

"Okey, Mats asked if you were coming down when you're finished."

"Sure, give me five minutes."

Erik nodded and closed the door softly behind him.

I kneeled down and got my bag from underneath the bed. I opened it and looked through it. As far as I knew I got everything.

I sat down on the bed again and grabbed my phone. I wrote Mario a message.

Marcinho:

See you tomorrow

I didn't expect from him to text me back, but he did.

SuperMario:

I guess so

Marcinho:

Sleep well

I didn't know what else to say. I left my phone on the bed and went downstairs. It was only when I went to bed I saw he had waited for an hour before texting back:

SuperMario:

You too
