I hate it, after all those years he still has a place in my heart and I never found a way to forget about him. We were neighbors in Tocopilla but my family left the country for England because my dad got a job. A better job. Not that we don't love Chile but we were so happy that we could leave. My older brother and sister didn't got any problem with it either. Alexis and I still had contact through our parents and saw each other often when I visited Chile with my parents. Like always I watched Alexis every move and he told me that he left to Argentine, that's when I knew he would make it.

To be something he always wanted.

We talked through the phone, he even visited me in London, a stop before he went to Italy, another club named Udinese.

I still loved him, I always had that silly crush when I was little but when we were getting older It became something strong and I hated it. When he went to THE FC Barcelona, that was the moment we knew, that Alexis Sanchez made his name. But the funny thing is that he never forgot me. I was pleased, happy. That, because he's becoming famous, didn't raise to his head.

But then he got a girlfriend.

She was beautiful.

She was perfect.

That was a sign for me, to move on. And I did, I was finally happy and I didn't think about him every day. Even though I followed his every move in the football world, watched almost every match because hey football is something I grew up to love, and him...

I was happy, relieved but of course when I wanted to make a step into my other phase in life; being open for love. Dating other guys, to find the one. That was the moment when I got called by my good friend and said that Arsenal bought a Chile player. I wanted to ask who, but I didn't have to since I got the memo. Alexis came to London, and god
