Chapter 4: Barcelona Dreams

Hallie's POV
2014

"How I've missed this place" I say as I step off the plane and into Barcelona.

"When were you last here?" Lucy questions.

"Right before I joined Liverpool" I say smiling.

Me and Lucy both grab our luggage and head towards where my dad told me to go.

When I see him I drop my bags and immediately run straight to him jumping into his arms.

After a few minutes, I pull away and he wipes my face.

"Dad this is Lucy, Lucy this is my dad Jordan." I tell them both.

"Nice to meet you" Lucy says.

"I hope your taking care of my girl"

"Of course she is dad" I say rolling my eyes, "Come on I want to see Taylor"

Lucy kisses my cheek as we walk out to the car.

I leave my bags in the car as we arrive at the house. Running in, Taylor is there to catch me as I jump into her arms.

"I missed you so bloody much" I sob.

"And everyone still calls me the baby" She says laughing.

"Rude." I mumble.

"Thanks for leaving me with the bags babe." Lucy grumbles.

"Sorry" I say with a cheeky smile. "Babe this is Taylor my sister, Taylor, Lucy."

They hug as I open the fridge already searching for my favourite snack.

"Top shelf."

I look up and sure enough theres my favourite chocolate covered strawberries.

"Want one?" I ask lucy whilst munching.

She picks one out and eats it as I pick up our bags and take them to my room.

I would live here. I've never said that aloud because no ones ever asked. There's a lot of things people don't know because they haven't asked.

Opening my balcony door, I sit on the chair as I look out at the ocean.

The waves have always been my safe space. I was never allowed out here as a child but I always watched them through the window or down on the beach itself.

I'm broken from my thoughts when Lucy walks out.

"I'm so glad I get to show you this place for the next two weeks" I say full of excitement.

Kissing my cheek she replies "I'm excited for you to show me."

Knocking on the window, Taylor makes fake gaging noises.

"You disgustingly cute couple need to hurry up, dinners ready."

We laugh as I peck her lips and head downstairs.

"Hallie! We're leaving now!"

"I'm coming!"

We're going to watch Barcelona play at Camp Nou. They were my childhood team since I used to come here with my dad a lot.

I run down the stairs, close & lock the door and head out to the car.

"You've not changed." Taylor huffs.

"What does that mean?" I ask confused.

"You've always been late since you were a little kid Hal"

Lucy laughs as I hit her on the arm.

"Not funny." I mumble.

We arrive at the stadium just in time and sit in our seats.

"What a view, it'd be a dream to play here." Lucy fantasises.

The game is slow to start and halftime quickly rolls around.

"Does anybody want any food?" I ask.

"No thank you, but stay safe Hal."

"I will Dad."

I go to the concession stands and end up getting a hot dog and a water. I'm really picky and hot dogs are one of the only things I like.

Heading back to my seat, I look around and take it all in knowing I'm not going to be back here anytime soon.

"Are you okay?" Taylor asks when I get back to my seat.

"I'm fine." I respond.

Barcelona end up winning 2-0 with late goals. The passion this team has is unmatched.

We exit the stadium and make the drive home.

"Anyone up for the pool, because I am."

"Count me in" Lucy replies.

We both head upstairs and get changed into bikinis.

Lucy pulls me in by the waist "Your so pretty."

I blush.

"Come on" I say pulling her arm, " I need a tan."

3 hours later I decide I'm going to get out and grab some food.

"Is everyone okay with pizza?" I question.

"That's my favourite food, you should know that" Taylor laughs.

"Whoops, oh yeah"

I grab all the ingredients I need and place my dough in the oven.

When it's done I take it out the oven and call everyone into the kitchen.

"You've always made the best food." Dad says in delight.

"Pizza is my speciality." I joke.

"When do you leave again Hal?" Taylor questions.

"Trying to get rid of me that fast?" I laugh. " In 2 days I think."

Lucy nods.

"Well we're making the most of it." Dad smiles.
