~Always go with the choice that scares you the most cause it's the choice it'll help you grow~

~When we were in high school~

Julian

- I've missed you Julian, but I'm glad you had a good time at the trip.
My mom said hugging me.
- I've missed you too.
I replied although it wasn't the whole truth. I had such a great time and especially with Lila that I didn't think about my mother a lot.
- So what did you do there ?

- Is she your girlfriend ?
My coach asked me as we finished our training. He was pointing at Lila, who was greeting me from the stands. Lila was such a supportive girlfriend. She didn't miss a match of mine and she was also coming in my trainings sometimes.
- Yes, she's.
I answered smiling at her.
- You spend a lot of time together don't you ?
- We do. We have been dating for a couple of months.
I responded.
- That's really good.
My coach replied although I'm not really sure he liked it and I was surprised at how he referred to Lila.
- Yes, it's.
- Okay Julian don't let a girl be your priority, remember she can't offer you a carreer.
My coach said as he went away leaving me staring at Lila who looked at me confused trying to understand why have I changed my expression. I didn't like what my coach say. At all.

Lila and I have been together for a couple of months now. The truth is they were the happiest months of my life. I had fullfill my dreams as far as she and football was concerned. I was happy cause I really thought that I had it all and that I couldn't ask of anything else. Lila made me happy in  a way nobody could. But the truth is that nothing lasts forever and it's also true that nothing good lasts forever. As the time went by my life started being a mess. My mother was right when saying that it might be difficult combine school and football as a profession. But this wasn't the worst part in the story. I hadn't had as much time as I'd like to spend it with Lila. I had to cancel our plans once in a while mainly because of my trainings.
What made me feel even worse was the fact that Lila never complained about it. She always said:
- I understand Julian and I can wait.
I wish she could be mad at me because then I would know that I got what I deserved. I felt guilty about the fact that she was always so supportive without wanting anything in return. I had become the worst boyfriend ever but the worst part was that she was the best girlfriend. Ever.

- What are you going to wear in Jo's party on Saturday ?
Brine asked Lila as I approached them in one of our pauses during our day in school.
- Hi, girls.
I said at both of them hugging Lila.
- Julian.
She said smiling and kissing me.
- How are you today ?
I whispered in her ear.
- I'm good. I've missed you so much Jule.
She said her lips searching for mine again.
- Guys, we are in school. Why don't you try keep your hands to yourselves ?
Brine asked being annoyed because the attention wasn't at her anymore.
- You're right Brine.
Lila said but by the look on her face I understood she didn't mean it at all.
- Are you coming to Jo's party Julian ?
Brine asked me.
- I don't think I'll be able to make it. I have training again.
Brine raised an eyebrow at Lila and Lila gave her the death stare.
- It's okay Julian. I don't think I'll go either.
She said looking into my eyes. I looked at her as well. How could someone be so perfect ?
- Because of me ?
I asked.
- No, I'm not in the mood.
Brine rolled her eyes making me understand that Lila was lying. And this was another problem we had. Since I was training that hard my relation with Lila wasn't real anymore. I hated that. I hated lies. I hated the fact that there were things about her I had no idea about.
Our pause has came to an end and I greeted Lila with a kiss in the cheek. Brine was staring at me worryingly and I had a feeling that she wanted to tell me something but for some reason I couldn't explain she had doubts about it

When you are in a team like Wolfsbrurg or in a better or worse team and your main goal in life's to become a professional athlete you can't relax whenever you feel like it. And by relax I mean doing things that you have fun doing them. You have to live for football. That should be your only priority but that of course had nothing to do with my way of life. I had to focus on school which simply meant I couldn't just take a nap after training although I would really like it to. Being in Wolfsburg meant as well that I shouldn't hang out whenever I'd like to. Drinking's forbidden like partys. That's the main reason why I couldn't go to Jo's party. I didn't really want to go, but I felt like Lila didn't want to go because of me. Unfortunately I was right and I learned that from Brine when she approached me the exact same day after school.
- Can I talk to you Julian ?
She asked me.
- Of course what it's about ?
I asked her although I think I had already guess it.
- It's about your relation with Lila. Look, I don't want to scold you or something but Lila's down lately and she's complaining that she doesn't have time to see you anymore. I don't think that this is the only reason she's down but I think she'd be happy if you could do something together like you did in the past.
Brine informed me and it was the first time I could see her being so worried.
- I know it Brine. I wish things were different.
I responded closing my eyes. I really felt guilty.
- Maybe you could go to that party together.
- I wish I could Brine but it's training that keeps me......
- You'll lose her Julian. Jeremaya tries to win her and you have no clue about it.
Her words caught me by surprise because indeed I had no idea about it.
- And what about Lila ? Is she interested ?
I asked with fear being obvious in my voice. I knew Lila loved me but because of the way things have turned I had doubts about whether she wanted to be with me or not.
- Of course not silly. Lila's sad but she would never do such thing.
Brine responded and I felt relieved. Losing Lila was one of my biggest fears right now.
- Thanks for telling me Brine.
- I had to Julian and there's one more thing.....
She said looking at me.
- Yes.....
- Don't let her leave.

Jo's party was on Saturday night and unfortunately for me we had an important match on Sunday. I knew I shouldn't go but Brine's words were stuck into my mind. I had no idea that Jeremaya was interested in Lila and I was pretty sure Lila knew it. The worst part wasn't that of course but the fact that maybe there were other things I had no clue about. Lila was already at the party when I made it there, she was laughing at something with some other girls. I wanted to approach her since she had no idea that I was coming to that party but someone stopped me.
- Thanks God you came Julian.
Brine said looking at me relieved.
- Yeah, you were right and I decided I didn't really had a choice.
- Fortunately, Lila's there.
She said pointing at Lila's direction. Lila looked at us as if she had heard us. Her expression changed as she saw me and a smile appeared in her face. She made her way towards us.
- I'll be better leave.
Brine said leaving.
- Julian.
Lila said hugging me.
- I'm so glad I came.
I said not letting her leave from my hug.
- Me too.
She said kissing me.
- I'm sorry I didn't have time for us lately. I want us to spend more time together. We can hang out after the match I have tomorrow.
- Of course we can Julian. I need sometime just with you.
