Today

Julian

- I'm really sorry that you have to do this.
Lila whispers as I hug her.
- I want to do this Lila. It's the best for me. For you. For us.
I look at her eyes and she smiles. Her eyes are filled with tears. I wipe them away.
Lila looks down holding my hand.
- Promise me that you'll come. I beg you not to leave me. I need you.
- Of course, I'll come Lila. Trust me okay ?
I kiss her one last time. She cries even harder now.
- Lila, our flight.......
Meghan appears behind us pointing at their gate. We're in the airport and they're heading back in Munich. I decided that it's better to destroy my engagement when Lila will be back. I don't want paparazzi to say that she's the reason. Although, I guess that they'll find somehow that she's the reason.
- I love you Julian. I'll wait for you.
- I love you more.
I said hugging her one last time.
The announcement for their flight is made and I let her leave. I watch her as she goes, and when she turns around and smiles at me, I feel the happiest man alive. I love her so much. And I'll prove it. But first I had to face both Vanessa and Kim.

I head to Kim's house, where I know that I'll find both of them. My palms are sweaty, only in the thought of what am I going to do. I know that this will hurt her. I know that she will hate me forever, but I can't do otherwise. It's worse that I'm fooling her. I park my car, outside Kim's house and I stay there in silence, thinking what I'm about to do.
I go outside the car and without hesitation I knock at Kim's door. A few minutes, pass till she opens and when she sees me, the surprise it's obvious in her eyes.
- Julian.....?
- Kim, hi. I need to talk to Vanessa.
I explain and she looks at me with fear in her eyes. Kim's clever. It's obvious that she understood that my visit will only bring bad news.
- For what ?
She asks, trying to make her voice steady.
- I just need to talk to her.
I explain again.
- She can't talk right now.
She says but I know she only says that in order to make me leave.
- I said I need to talk to her.
I repeat and she swallows hard.
- Not unless, you'll tell me what you want to tell her.
- Who's it Kim ?
Vanessa says and her eyes open widely when she sees me.
- Julian!
She said and she hugs me.
- Vanessa, we need to talk.
I say and she looks at me cautiously. She then looks nervously at Kim and leads me in.
- What's wrong baby ?
She asks while looking at me.
- We need to be alone Kim.
I say and she immediately dissappears.
- What's it ?
- Vanessa.......it's so hard to tell you this and I know you'll hate me forever but........I can't marry you.
She nods. Her eyes stare blankly at me and I realize I had hurt her more than she will ever admit.
- And you tell me that after all the preparations and everything we've been through ? You could have said it earlier.
She doesn't shout. She's calm. She's more dissappointed than ever.
- I'm sorry Vanessa. I'm really sorry. I don't want to fool you. I'm in love with someone else.
- I know.
- You do ?
I ask surprised.
- Yes. You said, she didn't matter to you anymore. You said, you were going to try, but.......
She pauses. Her eyes are filled with tears.
- I'm sorry Vanessa.
- No. I'm sorry. I knew you didn't love me and I knew that you couldn't forget her. The fault's mostly mine.
She said wiping her tears away.
- I do love you Vanessa, just..........
- Just not as much as you love her.
She says, crying again.
- I'm sorry.
- No, need to.
She says and she runs upstairs.
I feel so bad. I didn't want her to feel like that. My head's going to explode. I didn't mean to hurt her.
- Tell me that this is a joke.
Kim says appearing in the living room. Her hands are shaking. I know that this hurt her, cause Vanessa's a good friend of hers.
- I'm sorry Kim.
- Julian, please.........
I'm about to change my mind. I can't cause them so much pain. But then I remember.
- Kim, you have to respect that, if you ever considered me your boss.
I start saying and she looks down.
- I'm a bad manager. I should have figured it out earlier that you still had feelings for the receptionist. Oh, my bad. Former receptionist.
She says smirking.
I can't believe what she has just said. My nerves are starting to take the best of me.
- How do you know that ?
- Seriously Julian ? How can you be so naive ? I made this happen.
I have warned her not to call you and she failed to do that. I had to do something,
She says proudly and I try my hardest not to punch her right now.
- Then, I have to do something for that, as well.
Kim looks surprised. She didn't expect that, it's obvious.
- What exactly ?
She asks being interested.
- You're fired Kim.
She looks at me and she's not able to believe it.
- You're out of your mind, Julian, you can't fire me. I'm your manager.
- No, Kim. You're my former manager.

- Julian, you have to grow up. Till when are you going to hide from them ?
Patrick asks and looks at me.
I stay in his house since I broke up with Vanessa. It's more than a month now. I haven't contact with Lila, because things are really bad now. Paparazzi are outside my house all the time and I know that Kim had something to do with it.
- I can't even go to practise. They always show up somehow.
I reply to him and he looks at me.
- So ? You can't hide for the rest of your life. Vanessa has already moved on with her life.
That was true. Vanessa had finished with her movie which became a huge success and she was now filming her next one in England.
I don't think she has really moved on with her life. There weren't any roumors of her dating someone else. I know I have made her feel like she was nothing.
- I don't know what to do.
- To begin with, you have to go to Lila.
That was actually another problem. I hadn't contact with Lila, for almost a month now and I don't know if I should do it now. I guess, I have to give us some time till things will be better. But I don't think, things will be better. Lila, will hate me and it's as if I had lied to her again. I can't stop thinking that maybe she's mad at me again.
- I need some time.
- Yeah, sure what does Hannah say about that ?
Hannah was my new manager. She had nothing to do with Kim. Okay, I didn't know her well, cause I only knew her a short time but still.
- Hannah says that leaving my house for some time will be good for me.
- Yes, but not for me.
Patrick replies and I look at him.
- You can do better at being supportive.
- And you can do better with your life.
He responds. The truth is he's right. But I can't do much right now.
- I got to go to practise.
I inform him. He nods and I exit the room.
I take my things and I exit the house heading to the practise.

- If you play like that, there's a chance to beat Bayern this weekend.
Our coach says after finish our practise today. I look at him shocked. I had no clue we were playing with Bayern again this weekend.
- Bayern again ?
I ask Ricardo while heading to the changing rooms.
- Yes. In Munich. Again.
He replies and I try my hardest not to lose my temper. I was just trying to keep Lila away of all this situation and now we're heading in Munich again.
- Perfect.
I respond while taking my shirt of.
- What's wrong with that ?
- Nothing at all. I'm just not in the mood of going to Munich again.
- Yeah, last time you had an engagement there.
I smirked. It all started with that. Before going to Munich, I hadn't seen Lila for five years. I couldn't believe that this was going to happen. I haven't even thought of it. Now, though I really wish I wasn't going to see Lila. I had to avoid her as much as possible.
For her own good. She had to be away from me. Actually I had to be away from her. For now. It was the best.
- Are we going to stay in the hotel, I stayed the previous time ?
- Actually no. We're going to stay in the hotel, we stayed the previous time.
Ricardo responded.
Good, at least, we'll stay in a different hotel. I can't bear to stay in the hotel, she worked.
