I hopped out of the shower and blow dried my hair.

I apply on natural makeup. I decided to wear a black laced body suit with a leatherjacket and black ripped jeans.

By the time I'm done it's 7:38. We go out at 8 so I text in the group chat.

Flashback to the World Cup
Belgium vs. England

Gareth and I looked at each other in sadness when the final whistle was blown.

We hugged each other for comfort.

"C'mon. We have to go comfort the boys too." I said.

We walked onto the pitch and I had tears in my eyes.

This was such a heartbreaking day, not only for the team, Gareth, and I, but for the fans too. But everyone knows that they tried. They know it themselves.

I saw Marcus sitting on the ground and I jogged over to him. I know he was trying to fight back his tears.

I sat down next to him and he hugged me, putting his head onto my shoulder. I feel my shirt getting wet from his tears that he needed to let out so badly.

"We were so close for 3rd place.. we made it this far." he sobbed.

I hug back tightly and I close my eyes letting the tears fall. I put my head on the back of his head.

I hated seeing Marcus and the rest like this because they were always so happy and strong. They would always be smiling.

"We were super close. You guys tried your very best and we all know that including the fans. You guys did amazing." I tell him.

We pull apart and wipe our tears.

"Come on, let's go comfort the rest." I say.

I stand up and stick my hand out. He looks up and grabs my hand so I can pull him up.

After comforting the guys, we walk back into the halls.

"Okay guys. Tough defeat today and I know you all are heartbroken. We all are but you guys tried your very best. I'm super proud of you all. The fans are proud too. You did your best and that's what matters. I love you all so much." I say to them all.

"We love you too." they all say and walk over to me.

We join together for a group hug.

End of Flashback

Marcus' POV

Jesse and I were talking in the car, on our way to pick up Cindy.

"I told Cindy that Lucia broke up with me because she couldn't see a future with me anymore which was true. She didn't." I tell Jesse.

Jesse nods, waiting for me to continue on.

I continue, "But what Cindy doesn't know is that she didn't see a future with me since she thinks that I like Cindy for whatever reason. She doesn't want to be with someone that has feelings for another girl. She said that she can tell from the way I look at Cindy but I don't see it. I think it's bullshit."

"Honestly mate, I ship you and Cindy together. I want you two to be together more than anything. I bet some of the guys will agree too." he shrugs.

"I don't know man. Why do you think that?" I ask curiously.

"Are you kidding bro?" Jesse laughs. "We can all tell that she really loves you. Loves you in a lover way, not just family. Have you really not noticed that?" Jesse says.

I shake my head.

"Well I hate to tell you this but you've been too blind to notice. And maybe you're just in denial that you have feelings for her." he shrugs.

I scoff and roll my eyes.

"Whatever."

We arrive at Cindy's house. She starts walking to the car.

"Holy shit she looks stunning." I say to Jesse while I stare at her walking to my car.

"Dude, she has always looked stunning. You're so blind, I swear. I can't wait for the day I can just say to you 'I told you so'." Jesse replies.
