PARIS | Kylian Mbappe

*1 WEEK LATER*

As I sat on the bleachers, my head in my hands, I felt the calm winds sweep across me. Looking out onto the training pitch I watch the lad's train as I sat back. I haven't felt like training lately, I haven't felt like doing a lot lately even though I was practically forced by coach. Of course he wasn't happy about the whole situation but at the end of the day, he is my coach and he had learned how to separate work and personal life.

Feeling a presence sit down next to me, I looked up to see Neymar, the both of us sat in a comfortable silence as we watched training from afar.

"She's doing well, you know?", he suddenly said, the words instantly making me smile slightly as I thought of her. Considering this is the first time Ney has spoke to me since the hospital, it wasn't awkward at all. "After almost being punched about ten times off her, I explained what she heard. Obviously she didn't take it too well but she came around".

I nodded. "Do you think I should go and see her?".

Even though I didn't look, I could feel his stare on me. "Uh-Uh-".

"So that's a no then?", I interrupted when he frowned.

"No it's just that you know, Bruna, Chelsea and Alex. They're really fucking protective over her now bro they are with her every second of the day".

"Fuck them", I suddenly spat thinking of them. "Fuck all of them, they don't matter to me".

"You sure about that?", he sniggered. "Because they are basically guarding the door to her room plus I think Alex stays over sometimes".

I frowned, just the thought of those three made my skin crawl. "Why? She's not a baby".

"No but she has lost her memory, remember?", he spoke softly making me pause for a second and think to myself. "Bro, I know it's hard but you can not just go over there and start a new life with her, no matter how much you want it. There is shit in your past that isn't solved and if you ignore that and try to cover it up, if she ever does get her memory back, well bro...", he paused raining an eyebrow. "She would literally kill you, trust me".

I sighed putting my head in my hands feeling Ney put his hand on my shoulder. Thank god I had him around, even though we did argue from time to time, it was never anything too serious, if anything he was just looking out for me, well most of the time he was. "I just want to speak to her bro, alone", I sighed. "Even if it's just hello or something, I don't want them three breathing down my neck watching my every move".

"I know,", he said taking his hand from my shoulder. "But you need to start with an apology, she is not going to be jumping for joy when she see's you because of well, you know the other day". Nodding, I looking out onto the pitch. Damn when did all this shit start. I wanted things back to normal, I wanted things to go back to how they were in the beginning.

I looked into the distance. "Why do you still listen to Bru anyway? She clearly has you under her wing plus she's evil as fuck to me".

"No", he laughed. "I messed up, I'm just trying to get back into her good books".

"You would be better off not in her book's at all", I said as he chuckled.

"You might not like her but I do", he said as I frowned for a split second. Enough to kiss other women? "We've been through a lot of shit together, I just need her back by my side man".

"Yeah and she's making you work for it", I mumbled as he frowned then shrugged explaining he would do the same. Fair enough I guess? "Listen bro, tomorrow can you take her out or something so I can see Sav".
