Chapter 8
'Congrats man!" Peter welcomed me at football practice with a hug
"Hey! what's going on? What did I do?"
"Don't you know man? You got the scholarship at Stanford! You got it" I admit i was really shock about Pete's news, excited also.
"Yes Smith, they were very impressed with your game last season" coach added
"The one I almost didn't have the chance to play in"
"That's the one! I’m so proud of you bro. You’re going to Stanford"
"Ana will be so proud!" Wait Ana.
"You’re going to Stanford? Well that's nice baby I’m so proud of you"
"But it’s in California Ana" awkward silence between us again.
Ana pause for a little, while she fake that smile on her face. I know she’s just faking.
"What are you thinking Johnny? Are you thinking about us? Don't throw away this big opportunity Johnny"
"But you said. . . you said you don't want to be away from me"
"Well. . . We'll figure something out baby, that's for sure" Ana then just smirk, hold my hand. And while I looked at her I can see she's about to cry.
When I got home. . .
"So proud of you son!!! You’re going to Stanford"
I see the news of me having the scholarship at Stanford is faster than me reaching my own home
"What about Ana, mom?"
That's all I can say at that moment. I know I should be happier cause every kid in the world will kill for a scholarship at college. Plus my lifelong dream of playing on a college football league is happening. Am I supposed to be happier than this.
Dinner passed, and I’m not still talking. I can't possibly throw away this kind of opportunity, But how about Ana? Like this opportunity, Ana is like a one in a million too. I just don’t know what to do.
Before going to bed, my phone rung
"Ana? Is there something wrong?"
"I just . . . wanna tell you I love you."
"Don't say goodbyes yet Ana, pls"
"I just don't want you do something stupid ok? If were meant to be, we will still see each other Johnny, faith will lead its way again, like it leads me to you on the very first time I saw you."
I just can talk after that. . . I want to cry, I don't want her to hear it. I think Ana’s crying on the line though, I can here her voice trembling.
"Still graduation is a couple of months away, lets enjoy every little time we have with each other ok? Ok Johnny, you know I love you baby"
"I love you too Ana"
"Be happy Johnny, ok?"
I can’t baby, I’m sorry. I just can’t.
