THE LOST SOUL

Chapter 8 'The Fight'

A week, I haven't visit her in her house.

Our last game was at wednesday and it blasted! Canada is down baby, I admited I had a hard time beating Canada down. They're all nice and very down to earth. Easy to get along with them and they are pretty good as well.

And the Party that Joe invited me was Crazy but I went home that early. I am really not that a party goer.

Still at Combs Soccerfield. practicing.

Kicking the ball through the grass and pass it to goal. I stopped and make my way to sat at the bench for the players where Jamie sats. I already told her that I can't talk to her in public. So, we just smile.

An old man came near me. I can tell that he is a press. With the camera man behind him and a microphone in his hand.

They are from the ESPN.

"Hello Mr. Grays, I am Peter Woods from ESPN. How are you doing today?" I smiled at him and drink my favorite Gatorade before answering his question. This is not the first time that the press came to me. I find them very irritating sometimes, following me and asked nonsense question.

For me, I play for the Game not for the Fame.

"I'm fine." I smiled. That's a simple answer for a long question.

"Very well then.. There have been a rumor spread in the football industry that you left behind England because of a fight between you and Dave Hawk Is that true?"

What? Him? That is one of the craziest thing I've heard.

First, I didn't left England behind. Second, He is not the reason why I migrate. Third, It's true we had a fight but I don't give a shit about it anymore.

But the word that I have answered are.

"No, I didn't left my previous country behind because of him. I have my own reasons. I don't give a damn about that stupid rumor." Hell, I truthfully said

He widens his mouth hearing my respond. I stand up and try to walk away far from this stupid press. I walked fastly and he followed.

"What can you say about Dave Hawk. Reevo?" He added while following me. I was on my way to the parking lot.

"Reevo! Reevo!"

"Reevo! Is it true then?" He shouted, I open my car door and starts the engine. He never stop asking and calling me.

I drive on the way to anywhere. I seriously don't know where to go. I don't want to go home yet cause mom isn't there, even if she is there, still don't want to go home. I don't want to let her know that I am pissed. I'm with Jamie beside me. I can sense that she's looking at me. She knows I'm not on the mood. We kept quite.

The sun is going down and we went to a Playground. There's no people around not only one. I sat at the left side of the swing. Jamie, as always appeared from nowhere and she sat at the other swing. We didn't talk.

I'm very pissed knowing about that rumor. I mean really? Him? Dave Hawk. I clenched my knuckles because of anger.

Me and Dave went to the same school together. I didn't include him as a best friend but he is my friend. Joe is different than him but they haven't met. He is a friend that I truly trust. Then we became teammates in Eagle England.

We've been friends for years but I didn't count that.

He has a girlfriend named Mia. She was beautiful, hot and nice.

She's every guys want but I never like her. They have been dating for 3 years. (I think) Until now.

One time we were having a victory party at the beach.
It's a wild night people were drunk and high. So does Mia. I am not drunk or high but I am pretty sure that I am having fun, hanging out with my teammates and some fans.
Dave was somewhere I don't know. I sat at the shore trying to call Joe for the invitation. Mia appeared laughing with a cocktail glass in her hand. She's drunk and she's only wearing a one piece and denim shorts. Her hair was wet and she's laughing. She grabbed me by my shirt and kissed me. I didn't say anything and I didn't kiss her back. When she lets go and opens her eyes. Her face was a total shocked. She explained that she taught I was Dave, Since I wear white shirt and blue pants like him. And then Dave grabbed my arm to stand up and punch me in the jaw. I didn't fight back. It was a mistake. I try to tell him but he is too fast. Yelling and pushing me.
He said that I was his friend. I knew that I didn't do anything wrong.
After that , we haven't talk.We argue more and some misunderstandings while playing.

But it is really not the reason. This is for me and my mom. My 8 years with my dad was all fucked up. I hate it.

I don't want people also think that I left England because of that. I love my previous country and I really do. I don't want to ruin my reputation as a well known football player.

"Hey." Jamie blurted. I smiled at her weakly. I was thinking way too deep and didn't notice her.

"Can you push the swing for me?" She really cheers me up. I smiled and stood up making my way to her swing. I pushed her and sat down.

She's laughing.

"You seem so sad." She added.

I looked at her and smirk.

I didn't say anything instead she's the one who brings out the topic.

"You know what? I didn't understand myself.."

She continued.

"I can remember everything about my parents, friends and any memories I had but.." She sighed.

"I still thinks that there's something missing about it." I glance at her.

"Don't worry. I'm here." I smiled at her. A homeless stranger stopped from walking. He's looking at me. He probably thinks that I'm crazy. I have to do something about this talking alone stuff.
