Synopsis
Gareth's POV
It been one year since Chanel and I divorced and I have to say a lot has changed. She now lives with Miguel, her now husband in Madrid who's a goalkeeper for Atletico Madrid along with the daughter that her and I share together; Rose. Chanel is happier than I have ever seen her, and I don't like to admit this but I think she's happier with Miguel than she ever was with me. And I can't be mad about that anymore because I was the reason my family got torn apart. I moved out of the house Chanel and I shared together not too long after she left I just couldn't stand being in that empty house alone, so I moved into an apartment that's close to the Bernabeu. I made the mistake of thinking she could fix me, but that wasn't her responsibility it was mine. Things at work have managed to get a lot worst, which is really hard to believe. I went from starting every game to warming the bench, and I am starting to think Real Madrid might loan me out soon, or worst sell me.

"Gareth, we need to talk." Zidane said seating next to me on the bench after practice. "About?" I asked as I made room for him to seat down. "I'm sure you knew this was coming, but the board has suggested that we loan you out for a while." he said taking a deep breathe. "Ok, but you don't agree,right?" I asked desperately. "I do think it would be good for, and if things turn out good we will bring you back at the start of the next season." he said scratching the back of his head. "And what team do they have in mind to loan me to." I asked with uncertainty. "Servilla FC, he said standing. "Well, I guess its done then." I said standing to join him. "Come to the Bernabeu to sign the papers tomorrow morning, and you leave straight after to join your new team." he said holding out his hand to me with a sense of sorrow in his eyes. "Don't worry I know you tried hard to keep me here." I said shaking his hand.
After I got cleaned up from training I headed to meet Chanel to tell her the news. I didn't both saying goodbye to my teams, because well I had pulled away and many us weren't even on good terms anymore, and it wasn't truly a goodbye. I met Chanel at a cafe down the street from her house. I told her about my transfer, but she didn't seem surprised at all, and I don't know why I was surprised that she wasn't. I mean Cris is her brother after all, and King of Real Madrid. We went back and forth for a while on what to do about me seeing Rose, and since she was only 1 years old it would make it hard for me to see her seeing that I was going to be a five hour ride away, and a 1 hour plane ride away. But surprisingly Chanel didn't give me a hard time, and said that whenever she could she would bring Rose to visit. Once all the arrangements were made Chanel did something that surprised me she hugged me, and told me she hoped I got better.
I left the cafe feeling hopeful about my new future.
