Fools. (Cressi/Lionaldo) (Cristiano Ronaldo/Lionel Messi)

Part Thirty Eight.

To: Leo

I think I get it now 😕 .. It all seems so clear... After all those pictures, after all my messages, I can understand why we're never going to work out. I love you Leo, I fell in love with you so long ago from afar, and when I finally met you in person you were different to how I'd imagined you'd be. I didn't mean to fall back then, but it happened and I couldnt stop it. I dont think I wanted to stop it actually... I dont regret it, I dont think id take back all of our time together, but I accept that you may have moved on.... Youre right, your happily married and I may have ruined that with her so I guess im saying sorry... Well actually no, maybe Im not. If we were anyone else, if we didnt have reputations to live up to, and I guess if maybe I wasnt so scared.. We could be together.

To: Leo

I don't know what Im even saying anymore 😅 all my thoughts are a mess and I really hope im making sense... Yknow, I dont know if its even healthy to be crying this much. Whatever, all that matters is I tell you that it's okay. You dont have to feel guilty anymore, you dont have to be confused and nervous about letting me down easy.. Im doing it for you. It feels weird being in this spot because Ive never been in this position before, but I.. God, why is this so hard to say?? Im not even saying it, Im TEXTING it...

To: Leo

Rip it off like a bandage right? Leo, Im officially breaking up with you. Ive already deleted all the pictures of you off my phone, and I know that doesn't sound like a lot but it is. Or well, it was for me.. You dont have to worry about me messaging you or calling you because I wont...

To: Leo

i was hoping youd message me and tell me to stop but that was stupid wasn't it??? 🙁

*****

Just call him. Just fucking call him. Hurry up and call him before it's too late.

Leo's brain was practically screaming at him, he was hiding away in the quietest part of his home, his knees drawn up to his chest. He watched as those messages popped up, his heart beating fast as he read the lines over and over. He read the last message and his heart dropped...

i was hoping youd message me and tell me to stop but that was stupid wasn't it??? 🙁

Before he could sabotage himself and second guess his decision, his fingers were moving for him. His web browser open on his phone and he kept messing up letters and numbers because of the speed he was typing.

Leo wasn't going to call him. He wasn't going to text him... None of that was enough. Not anymore.
