I woke up the day after by a phone call from my dad. I was confused at first because it was early in the morning and he don't usually call me this early.
"good morning dad" I said picking up the phone and resting it against my ear. "morning,I need to tell you something" he said and his voice was a little worried. I got scared for a moment that something happened. "what is it?" I asked and got up from the bed now. "me, and your mom got into a car accident...your mom..." he said and took some time to talk. I immediately started to get panicked as he wouldn't continue that sentence which means something happened to mom.
"something happened to her, right?" I said, eyes full of tears hoping for the best. "she got injured really bad so they did a operation. She's in coma right now and we will probably stay here more then a week." He finally said and I just repeated those words again and again in my head. "oh,god. How are you? Your alright?" I asked him because he didn't mention how he was feeling. "I'm fine, don't worry. And please don't think about this too much, she will be alright." He said. I didn't know if I should believe him or not but he's a surgeon after all so he knows this so much better than me. "dad, you are telling the truth right? She will be fine?" I asked and he promised me she would. "now, don't worry to much. Focus on your exam and if you get to panicked, just call me. We love you, lena" he said with his soft voice.
"I love you too. Please call me when she wakes up" I asked him and he said he would.
When I hang up the phone I honestly just sat there in bed thinking about literally everything that comes to my mind. in the middle of my thoughts, I got a notification on my mobile. It was Pablo and I just smiled about it. I always get so excited and happy when he texts me and I hope I'll always be.
Pablo🤍
good morning❤️
have you woken up?
morning, Pablo 🤍
yeah, about to eat breakfast
Are you at training?
Not yet, wanted to come in
to you before I go.
Miss me already?
yep 😋
His texts always makes me laugh somehow. Like, I always imagine him sitting there all serious while writing to me but when he sends me these emojis it's just doesn't make sense and I just laugh.
He was coming over to me so I went down to the kitchen. I grabbed some vanilla yoghurt to eat and drank water with it. I poured the yoghurt in a small bowl and went back to the livingroom while I could see when Pablo is here.
After some minutes I could see him through my window and so could he. I went to my door and opened it for him.
"hi" I said and he went inside but then kissed me on the cheek. "you alright?" He asked directly as we were going to sit down at the couch. "I think so. My dad called me and said that my mom has gone through an operation because they got into a car accident." I said and we sat down. "oh my- is she okay now? And your dad?" He asked and I replied. "the operation went good, she has not woken up yet. My dad is fine, or that's what he said at least." I said.
"what about you?" He asked looking at me. I love how he really cares how I feel about things. Some people just ask if I'm alright but not willingly so I usually just reply by saying I'm fine but I'm not at all. He makes me to tell the truth and I know that he will listen and support me always. "surprisingly I'm alright. I'am super worried about her but at least I don't overthink and don't dig myself into it, you know." I said playing with my ring I had on my hand. I do it very often to distract myself. I looked at him and could see that he was smiling. Like he was proud of me.
"I'm so sure that younger you is proud of how you are starting to deal things" he said and hugged me. My had was resting against his chest now he was patting my hair which I love so so much. It's like a free hair massage. "yep, I think so to." I said and let out a small laugh. We sat there for a couple of minutes before I clapped my hands on my knees and then stood up.
"don't want to say this buuut, you gotta go before you get late for training" I said and he looked up at me and then stood up as well. "see you later" he said and I quickly grabbed his face and gave him a quick kiss. "yes, bye" I said and he gave me a smile and went out.
I studied for the next 3 hours or so and fell asleep in the living-room for a little time. But woke up by a phone call from Bella. "helloo" she said as soon as I picked up the phone. "hey, Bella" I replied still being very sleepy. "oh, were you asleep, sorry." She apologised but I said it's okay and doesn't matter. "how is Valencia?" I asked her. I've actually never been in Valencia but heard it's pretty there. "I like it, but miss Barcelona so much" she said and we both laughed. "yeah, I heard that you were speaking a lot with pedri" I said, trying to get some info from her. She laughed innocently and said: "just talking".
"yeah, I know what that will turn into" I said and we continued to talk for another ten minutes when my dad called me. "Bella, my dad is calling me. We'll talk again later." I said and she was alright with it.
"Hi, dad. How is mom?" I asked the second I picked up his phone. "hi, she's fine. She is awake but not 100% aware because the coma is still not gone." He said and I breathed out. "oh, okay. Thank you for telling me. How are you? Have you slept a little bit?" I asked. "I'm doing good, was waiting for your mom to wake up." He said. I could hear just through his voice how tired he was.
"you should sleep and rest a little bit." I said and he just said he would do it. "okay, I will hang up then. Go sleep a little bit, dad"
"alright. Good bye, milena" he said and hang up the phone.
It was almost 5pm when Pablo called invited me over to Ferran and Sira's appartement. Ferran would be with Pablo so Sira and Pablo wanted me to come. I needed to get a pause from my exams either way cause I've been studying all day. I'm pretty done with everything and ready to the exam so it would be good with a distraction. I changed into a cropped sweater and short jeans skirt and drove to where they lived with my car.
"omg, hiii milena. Welcome in" Sira said as she opened the door for me. "thank you" I said and smiled at her. We went to the livingroom where the boys were sitting and talking. "hey Milena" Ferran said and gave me a smile and I did it as well. "hello" I said and then changed my direction to Pablo as he was smiling at me. I sat down next to him and Sira was sitting in a armchair in-front of us. "Pedri will join us as well soon" Ferran said.
Their apartment so far was really cozy. I liked how it was styled. More as a home and not just sad beige things all over the room. "we should start to decided where to have vacation" Sira said and that got me in thoughts. I'am free from university in two weeks and I have literally nothing planned. "yeah, I'am free in two weeks so" I said. "Somewhere in Spain or should we go to another country?" I asked and they all wanted to go somewhere else and not stay in Spain, something new. "do you know any good places in France?" Pablo asked me and turned his direction to mine. I thought for a couple of minutes and then said: "Cote d'Azur is a very nice place, if you ask me."
"we should see with the other guys, what they think too" Ferran said and I heard a pling on the door which must be pedri. Pablo went and opened the door for him and they got back together to the living room. "hello everyone" pedri said with a big smile. He is always so happy I've noticed. We talked about random things together for a little time and then I went to the kitchen with Sira to grab some snacks since they were going to play fifa, of course.
"sooo, you and Pablo?" Sira said giggling and taking 5 glasses. "yep, even though it's strange to say but we are together now" I said and let out a small laugh making it less awkward. I'm not a person who talks about my relationship if not with Bella because she is my best friend. I'am only getting to know Sira so it's a little bit awkward with her. "you two are the cutest, I'm happy you both found each other" she said and I thanked her. I was sitting across the kitchen island as she was pouring some drinks into the glasses she took but then she accidentally dirtied her hoodie. "this is why I should never be in kitchen" she said looking at her hoodie and I just laughed. "I will just go change this quickly, wait" she said and small -ran to another room which I assume is her walk-in closet. As I sat there waiting for her I could hear the boys talk since the kitchen and livingroom is connected but just with walls between them.
PABLO'S POV:
"how did you know you liked Milena?" Ferran asked me.
I'd never been in love before. I didn't particularly want to be, since football was my life and girls were just distracting so Milena really cracked my stony heart. Before Milena, I could imagine a robot more capable of feeling than the boy I was before.
"I like being with her" I said shortly but if I started I wouldn't be capable of stopping.
"No shit. Be more specific" Pedri said and hit me on the shoulders. I sighed.
"It's easy being with her" I said after a long moment.
"She understands me in a way no one else does, even if our lives and worldviews are fundamentally different. Every other girl I've met have liked the footballer Pablo Gavi but not the real me. She somehow managed to distinguish them and chose me. When I'm not with her, I wish she were there. When I am with her, I want the moment to last forever. " I let out and I was surprised by myself that I could even get that from my thoughts into words and I think Ferran and pedri were as well.
"woah, our boy is really in love" pedri said nodding his head and looking at Ferran as he laughed.
"yep, she seems like a great girl. You smile and laugh more often now, cold hearted boy" Ferran said and they were both laughing and making fun of me, as they always like to do.
MILENA'S POV:
I have no idea what I did to deserve what he just said to his friends. Really, it's mostly him helping me but the way he said what he said it is the other way. Like I have helped him. The only thing I've done is loving him and if that what takes him to be happy I'll do it forever. "I'm back" Sira said and I jumped up a little bit because I was all in my thoughts and she just came out from nowhere. "let's go the boys" she said. "I'll help you with the drinks" I said and offered to take 3 drink as she took the rest, 2.
I gave Pablo and Pedri one as I drank my water. I'am not a fan of sodas so I just stuck with water. I sat down next to Pablo and we were watching how Ferran was winning over pedri and he was devastated. "Did you study for the exam all day?" Pablo asked me. "kind of, got some sleep between there" I said and he laughed. "by the way, how is your mom? Is she feeling better?" He asked and I nodded. "Healing so far, but better" I said and smiled and pedri was screaming because of the game. We all laughed at him.
Iam surprised how good Pedri and Pablo get along together because they are completely two different people. Like they are complementary to each other. Pedri is very open to new people and so talkative. I think if I get to spend more time with him, he would become my best friend fast. He's very funny but also calm. But Pablo is the opposite.
He won't let you in, in his life easily and he is quite and shy around people he doesn't know. Especially girls, what I've noticed. You could only see him speaking and laugh with his friends otherwise he seems very angry even if he's not. He was like that with me in the beginning but he's not anymore. Bella once told me that Pablo looking at me was rare when I first didn't even know him. And at that time I didn't understand what she meant by that, but now I do.

A/N :
A little bit shorter part this time, I hope y'all don't mind. Check in the 'Introduction' because I've made some changes.
I kind of want to start a different story but with Pedri and Bella, while doing this one too of course. What do y'all think about that? Maybe I should wait until this one is over ?
Otherwise, thank you for reading this book. It means a lot for me.
