It Ends Where It All Started ©️

~Late March 2041~
~GRACE~

It's been a month how Leo, Phoebe and I got back to London. Past a month was probably one of my favourite and that's probably because I was aware that I have a boyfriend, the best one, who I disappointed a month ago and I still can't get over that my stupid reaction.

I played with my necklace sketching on my notebook.

He has a match this weekend in Manchester and he won't be home for two days. I didn't worry about that but even it's just two days I'm gonna miss him but I have to get used to it.

He is a footballer and he will always be more everywhere and the least home but I think that if our love will be strong enough that we can get that, all the times he won't be home.

If nothing else, I have mum to talk to about it, she also had to get used to it but I think it was easier for her than it's gonna be for me because she was working with dad so they saw each other at work as well.

I know I have to trust him and I do, but deep inside me I'm still scared that his head will be turned and it's all just because of his past even I know that he changed but I can't against my gut.

Even mum was working with dad they also had problems at the start but at the end we're all happy together and that's just because their love was strong enough and I just can't be more happy and proud of that, because I can now proudly say that I have the best parents.

Bell finally rang and I took my notebook and pencil case leaving classroom.

Phoebe wasn't feeling good this morning so I'm left on my own today but gladly I had only 5 hours so I was going home now.

It was Friday and I had to take all of my notebooks and books home, to do homeworks and to learn for next week. I put everything in my bag and I groaned to myself. The hell was in my bag, like I was carrying stones and not books.

I couldn't believe I denied dad for picking me up from school.

I exited school and soon enough I left school garden putting my bag on bench taking my airpods from my pocket.

I heard some car stopping near me but I didn't care, someone must come to pick their child and so could my dad pick me up but no, I was stupid to deny it.

"do you need a ride?" I heard familiar voice and smile was immediately on my face

I looked up seeing Leo smiling from ear to ear looking at me through his window.
I took my bag and jogged towards his car.

"god bless you" I said sitting in his car and throwing my bag on the backseats

"it's nice to see you too" he said smiling at me

I put my hand on his cheek kissing him.

"I missed you" I said

"I'm leaving tonight" he whispered and I closed my eyes frowning

"I know" I said leaning my forehead against his

"when?" I asked

"for three hours" he said

"can we spend that time together?" I asked and he nodded

"what do you think why I came to pick you up?" he smiled

"to take me to your apartment" I said and he shook his head causing me to frown

"then why?" I asked

"to take you to eat something and to walk through city for a bit" he said

"okay" I said and smiled

"you up for?" he asked and I nodded happily

"of course" I said

He kissed me on flash before he drove us away from my school. His fingers interwoven with mine laying on my lap.

He stopped by Starbucks and I laughed.

"to eat something?" I asked looking at him

"you also have to eat in Starbucks" he said and I nodded

"yeah, yeah" I said joking

"come on" he said leaving car and so did I

•••••••

"so, how was your day at school?" he asked and I just leaned my head on his shoulder as we were walking down street hand in hand

"I don't what even were we doing" I said and he pulled his hand from mine wrapping it around my shoulders to pull me closer to himself

"what's bothering you?" he asked kissing the top of my head

"you" I said and he laughed stopped walking

"I'm bothering you?" he asked and I looked up at him

"you're not getting out of my head" I said and he pulled me in front of him

He put his arms around my waist as I hold on his arms.

"and I don't ever want to, but you need to concentrate on school" he said as I just look up at him

"I can't stop thinking about you" I said and he leaned his forehead against mine

"Grace" he said quietly

"yes"

"I know it's not that, what's wrong?" he said and I swallowed not believing he really knows me that well even we met again after 10 years

"it's nothing Leo" I said

"so I'm going on match knowing you don't want to tell me what's bothering you" he said taking deep breath and he let go off me

"what?" I asked confused as he started walking not even waiting for me

"it's okay Grace, I get you don't believe me, why even would you, I'm noone to you"
