New Beginnings

Twelve

MJ POV

Getting on the flight to LA was something I struggled with It. I only told Alba, and she said she knew it was for the best she knew I needed a break, not from the world but from the people around the constant people telling me that this injury wasn't the end of the world, but for me, it was because who am I without football.

Not all athletes make a comeback from an ACL injury. Someone comeback but not how they used to play. That is an athlete's biggest fear. Everyone is different there. For example, Ale made one of the greatest comebacks, and it was as if she was never injured.

The truth is others are stronger,  physically and mentally, and that's not me. All I have ever wanted was to know how to control my mind, but that will never be me. No matter how hard I try, I can't and must learn to be okay with that.

I contacted a friend I knew would help me through this injury. Chris is probably one of the best people to help someone. She is so in control of her body, but it takes practice, and I'm willing to learn, so don't feel like shit forever.

Ale POV

I was driving home from training with Mapi and Ingrid in the car. They had wanted to visit MJ for a while but never found the right time with everything going on.

"MJ, are you home," I said as I entered the house. There were no responses. It was quiet as I walked to the kitchen,n I saw a note with my name on it.

Dear Alexia 

I'm so sorry to tell you this. I'm on a flight to LA. You'll probably try to call and reach out but don't. Just be glad that I left. You no longer have to care for me. You can now focus on football, ll, and football only like you should have always been because you are the best in the world, and football should be your main focus if you want to win. I love you, Ale, more than life itself, but I'm not okay, and I can't keep lying. I need time to focus on my recovery and take care of Mapi while I return to tell her I love you and don't be too hard on yourself. Take care, my love <3

I fell to the ground after reading that she had left just up and left. Was I not enough? What did I do wrong? Mapi grabbed the letter out of my hand and read it. She didn't know what to do. She stood still and looked forward deep inside Mapi knew it was for the best.

I couldn't move. I didn't know what to think or say; I wanted to yell and cry, but I couldn't. I went numb. It was like everything I had worked towards had just fallen. I hated her for it, for just leaving without telling me.

Mapi stayed the night and helped me out around the house. We later saw on the news that Angle City had gotten a new signing.

Angle city has signed MJ Leon. They hope to see her make a massive recovery and take the field by the end of the year. She signs a year-long contract with Angle City. She will be taking number 11. Thank you, MJ. Let's work on that recovery.

It was all over the news. I didn't want to think did she have this planned out? Did she ever love me? All these questions and no answer? I had gotten many messages about her signing.

WELP, MORE DRAMA. WHO COULD HAVE KNOWN STILL LOOKING FOR A CO-WRITER IF YOU HAVE SOME IDEAS FOR THIS STORY, SEND THEM MY WAY. HAVE A GOOD DAY
