That's How It Was ║ Leon Goretzka

My Leon

-Anda, (come on) Mafer, join us! - Karl told me

- No, Karl, I have nothing to do there - I said

-Maaafeeeer! - Rafa said

I don't know how they managed to convince me, I dared to go, but just to see the game, I liked  Ajax team, just for that, but I was uncomfortable to imagine that Leon thought I would have gone to see him play.

-It looks the same as the last time I came - I said

-Well, what could change? - Rafa asked very obvious

I just looked at her and I didn't answer anything. The stadium was just filling up all right, but I felt  uncomfortable. The team went out to warm up, Leon looked more handsome than usual, I wanted to run to hug him and forget what happened. The girls (WAG's) arrived to greet me and ask me how I had been.

The game was very entertaining, both teams came to the opposite but could not conclude well.

Leon went to score, but the goalkeeper covered him.

-Leon! - I shouted and got up, then put my hands in my mouth

-Leon! - Karl said

-Mafer ...- Rafa said

-Karl, let's go - I said

He just looked at me

-Karl! - Larissa shouted. - Take her with him -

-Yes, yes, yes - he said nervously - Let's go! -

We were going at a fast step, I could see on the screens that he still didn't get up, everyone was approaching him, we started jogging through the corridors until we reached the dressing rooms.

- You cannot pass! - said a gentleman stopping us

-Please let us in - said Karl

-I cann't, I'm sorry boy - 

Karl turned to see me, I put my hands in my face in the form of despair.

-Leon - Karl said

I looked back and saw him entering the tunnel.

-Leon are you okay? - Karl asked when Leon was closer

When Leon heard his voice, he took his hands off his face, looked at him and then at me, his beautiful face, it was painful to see him. The doctors put him in the room but he never stopped looking at me. A few seconds later the doctor came out.

-They can come in - the doctor

-You can pass - said the guard

We entered the room and there I saw him, lying on the stretcher. We sat in the pews. Double fracture in his jaw and a contusion, even so Leon asked how the game was, he asked for his teammates. The half time came, the players started to enter but they had isolated Leon.

-How is it going? - Max asked desperately

- Bad, he had a contition and a double fracture in his jaw - I said sighing

-It's going to be all right - he said and hugged me

Karl went to inform the other players who were in the background and then he came with me.

-I'll see you later Mafer, tell me how everything is going, Ok? Hey, everything will be fine - Max said, he hugged me and he retired

-He's a little more stable - said the doctor

Is he going to recover? - asked and the doctor nodded

-Yes, but he needs to rest -

The doctor looked at us

-Would you like to see him? - he asked

- Sure, Mafer, go - said Karl

-No, you go - I said

-I'll see him later, go ahead - he said

-Okay  -

I walked to where they had taken him. Upon entering I saw him lying down

-Can I pass? - I asked

-Yes, come in - he said getting up

-How you feel? -

-A little better - he said

I did not know what else to say

-Well, I'll tell Karl to come in - I said

- Wait - said holding my hand

I turned to him again

-Mafer, I want to fix things with you - he said looking at me fixedly

-Leon...-

- No, Mafer, I want to talk to you, please -

-At least let you get out of this ...-

When I said that, saw his face with nausea, I quickly took the trash can. While he was vomiting I stroked his head.

-What a horror you see me like that - he said

-Leon, that does not matter right now, you worry me - I said

- Do I still interest you? -

-Yeah, I'm a good person, in spite of everything you interest me - I said in a rude tone

-You also interest me, I still love you, Mafer -

-No, Leon ... nothing of that -

-Mafer, I want you to give me the opportunity ... - he said standing up - I ask you, let me explain, is the only thing that I ask you. Then you can decide what you will do, but please listen to me, please - he said

-Okay, I think you at least deserve that - I said

Finally I gave in to explain. Although I already knew the truth and did not do anything about it, inside I always wanted to hear it, but my pride prevented it, although always in my heart I knew that Leon was innocent of everything. I knew him very well, if something else had happened, he would not be so insistent.

-I lost the knowledge, a guy gave me a drink ... I guess at certain moments they took pictures later, I do not know, I'm sure there was not something else, I'm completely sure of that, then I remember seeing you ... I can swear it was you who kissed me, the one who caressed me, the one I mentioned over and over again, then I woke up because of your voice, I saw you standing in the doorway, all beautiful ... Mafer, you can not blame me for anything that I was not aware of having done ... -

After this, he got up, washed a little, washed his mouth and turned to me

-You can not blame me for that ...- said looking at me very sad
