Can't leave U' alone! (Erik Durm)

Are you speaking english?

Erik

We have been training very hard but we still have a lot to fix in the team. The game is here in Munich, that's why we are all going to stay here for a few days. Despite the hard work, today was a good day, so all the guys were in the mood to go clubbing somewhere, I usually don't stay long in the clubs, is not really my place so after spending a while in there I said my excuses and took my leave. On my way to the car I start thinking about all the good things I have, I love my job... I mean I get paid a lot for doing something is my life, I met pretty amazing friends, the guys are all very supporting when you are not feeling well... 

"What the hell?" I said almost tripping into something, it's not something it's someone. It's common to see girls too wasted to stand, but I have never seen one lying in the middle of the street. She doesn't seem to breathe. 

"Hey? Are you still in there?" I tried to move her with my shoe, I know I'm not being delicate but I don't know what else to do. I really don't want to touch her. Maybe I should call some of the guys... or not. I decide after she starts to move. She is moving some locks away from her face with difficulty, although is dark and I can hardly see anything I can tell she has been crying. 

"Are you ok?" Maybe someone did something to her, let not be that, please. 

"Did someone do something to you?" I ask trying to get her up. She doesn't say anything as I help her, by the time she is in her foot she starts walking away, just like that, like nothing happened, but a few seconds later she falls in the street.

"Let me help you" I say while I run to her. "Tell me your name, do you want me to call someone?" This is weird in me, I don't usually talk to strangers.

"I... I... Are you speaking english?" She says looking at me directly in the eyes, she is petit so she has to hold her head high to look at me. 

"Well yeah I figured you wouldn't understand german" She looks like a tourist that had too much to drink, that happens a lot around here. She doesn't answer anything, she is just staring at me, and to be honest she is very pleasent to look at. Now that I'm closer I can see her face, she has sparkling brown eyes, and her nose is almost invisible but if you really look you can tell is perfect, not too thin plastic-like nor wide, it's just perfect. Her full lips are really messed up though, I think at some point of the night she had red lipstick on. She looks... even in this state she looks... cute. I was too absorted in my thoughts to notice she was falling again, but this time I catched her. When I place my hands on her waist to hold her I realize she is freaking freezing, how can't she be, she is only wearing a black short dress, and I'm all wrapped up in a very heavy coat and a handkershift. 

"Do you want me to call someone? Where are you staying? I can give you a ride" It's all I can say while I take my coat off to give it to her, it's so cold tonight. She doesn't answer anything as I put it in her and I think she is about to pass out again so all I can do for now is going to my car and think there, because here is too damn freezing. She rests her head in my chest, while my hand is around her shoulder. She looks cute in my huge coat. Why on heaven's earth am I thinking she is looking cute? she can be a thief, maybe this is an act and she is going to steal everything from me. I look at her face again and I shook my head off those thoughts, she can't be a thief, no way. 

I placed her in the back seat. She has a small purse, maybe I can now who she is, maybe she has a cellphone there and I can call someone to come pick her up. 

"¡No! please don't rob me" She says all of a sudden, she still has her eyes close and has minimun strength so I can easily take the purse from her. She passess out, again. 

"A cellphone" I try to look for 'mom' or 'dad' or... 'boyfriend' but nothing, in fact there are only ten numbers saved, I don't know who to call. This is weird, maybe she really is a thief. I keep looking in her purse and I found a passport, that may be the answer, she is not from around. She is a tourist as I thought first. Ivonne, that's her name. 

"I told you not to rob me!!" She wakes up and take the passport away from me, she also takes her purse and starts looking for something.

"Hey! who do I call?" I insist

"What?" She turns her head to look at me with her eyes open but with her lashes tired of so much staring "I'm so tired, I want to sleep" 

"Then tell me in which hotel are you staying, so I can drive you, are you here all alone?" She frowns to to my last question. 

"...He ditched m...-" She can't finish the sentence because she falls asleep again in the backseat. There's no way I can wake her up now, and I have to meet the doctors in the morning, I have to sleep... I didn't want to do this but I guess I will have to take her to my apartment. 

I carried her bridal style, she is petit but she is one heavy girl, maybe because she is sleeping like a rock, I imagine nothing would wake her up. Luckyly the apartment is big, so I take her to one of the guests rooms, the one that is in front of my room. I don't want to touch her, so I just placed her in the bed and cover her with the blankets. She still has the purse tied to her hand. I smile to myself. This has been quite a night.

I get up early and go see her. She is still sleeping and I have to go, so I leave a note with my number in case she feels like listening an explanation. I guess she doesn't remember anything of last night.
