4- INJURY || CUBARSI

٭AURELIA X PAU٭

"You look like a movie, you sound like a song. My god this reminds me. Of WHEN WE WERE YOUNG."

- When we were young | Adele.

★----------------★

Aurelia and Cubarsi were childhood best friends, until when they grew up they became boyfriend and girlfriend. Their story started when they were seven years old, and from then they started their friendship. Cubarsi started to have a crush on her and she did too, they knew they liked each other but denied it.

Whenever someone mentioned that they tries to push away the subject until they were seventeen now.

But at the age of seventeen everything changes right? As what they say, and it did change for both of them and they no longer denied their feelings, even if they were young or it's only teen romance. But it was different for Pau and Lia.

FLASHBACK!! 2014☆

"Pass the ball Lia!!" her teammate shouted to her, Aurelia was anxious about what to do a lot of people shouting at her to do something, from that side she wants the ball, and the other side someone else wants it. She got nervous. "Throw it over here!"

"Come on Aurelia!"

She couldn't take it anymore she couldn't decide and she knew it was bad that she didn't know what to do in a sport like that. Yes, Aurelia was a young footballer for barca. She's in la masia.

She finally turned to the left throwing the ball over her teammate but her eyes were closed, not a few seconds and she hears someone crys out in pain, she quickly looks around and sees a young boy down on the ground holding his face.

The game stopped and everyone ran over the little boy to see what happened, it turns out that Aurelia didn't throw the ball for her teammate but because her eyes were closed she threw it on the boy. And she started to panic. 'What if i killed him?!' she questioned herself.

She walked over to him seeing him holding his face, tears in his eyes as they were treating him. Aurelia kept looking at him worried, she then sees a cut on his jaw and there was a blood there. She felt bad for what she did.

'what if i was looking? I wouldn't have hurt him!!' and again she thought like this.

They continued the game, but Aurelia wasn't focused at all. Her mind was only on the boy she hurt and was the reason for his INJURY.

Finally the game ended and she quickly ran towards where they took the boy, she went to the room he was in and there he was lying on a bed. God she felt terrible for the cut on his jaw. She saw it, it was a big one. And now after they treated it there was gauze and paste on it.

His eyes were on hers now, she took small steps still in her little barca jersey, she was afraid now. "Hi.." her voice was barely heard, it was above whisper. "Hi." he responded.

She sat on a small chair beside the bed looking at the cut now, it made her shiver. "Im really sorry, i really didn't mean to hurt you. I was just throwing the ball.. and.. and i wasn't looking, so it.. it hit you. Im so.. sorry please don't be mad.. i didn't.. mean." her eyes started to tear and she already started to cry while explaining to him.

"Why are you crying now?" he was staring at her now having a hint of a smile but he was still in pain from that hit, but he was like that always. The sweetest soul ever. "Because.. i hurt you! But i didn't mean this." she wiped away her tears.

"It's okay, you didn't mean that. I will be alright anyway you don't have to worry." he tried to reassure her.

"But im the reason you are injured now!"

"It's fine really, i get injuries like that in the field. Really im not mad or anything you just calm down."

"Really?" she calmed down a bit her eyes were on his after wiping away her tears. "Yes really." he smiled at her.

"So you play in barcelona too?" he asked looking all curious. "Yes, why? Do you play here too?" she replied.

"Yeah. I play here too."

And from this day their story started.

BACK IN THE PRESENT!! 7 NOV 2024☆

Aurelia got ready for Cubarsi's ucl match, it was against Red star belgrade. She wore his black jersey and was sitting in the vip area with the other wags and girlfriends of the players.

Most who she sat with was Berta, Fermin's girlfriend. "Im so excited for the match!" Aurelia said looking at the field as the players started to take their positions, her eyes were glued to Pau. "You are so excited for the match or excited to see Pau play??" Berta smirked at her.

"Oh shut up! Well.. for both!" Aurelia couldn't lie and just chuckled at what Berta said, of course she is here to support her boyfriend and excited to see him perform.

The game started Aurelia was focused on it and watching Cubarsi's every move, every kick and pass. He was more than amazing. At the minute 13 Inigo Martinez scored an amazing goal. They were so happy.

Then the opposite team tied the game and scored another goal so they are one goal away from barca, but again lewandowski scored a goal at the minute 43 so they can be back at the game.

The first half ended, Aurelia was on her nerves she wanted her favorite team to win and she sees how hard they are trying and she also knows if they didn't win or if it ended like that, Pau will be sad and frustrated with himself.

He sees he can do more, if they didn't win a match or it ends with a tie he keeps blaming himself as if it's only his fault and he didn't do enough. She hates to see him like that.

"Barca will win and with a score, believe me." Berta said to Aurelia looking at her as she sensed she was a bit off and quiet. "I hope so." Aurelia replied to her.

"I hope Fermin get some minutes and play. He's amazing! Why don't they let him get more minutes??" Berta looked sad from that fact and Aurelia understood that, she wants her boyfriend to have his chance. "Maybe they don't want him to get injured, he played a lot last season and with the national too, i believe they will give him a chance, don't worry." Aurelia tried to make her feel better as she was patting her shoulder.

The second half started, everyone were focused now as it was still 2-2, not a long time until barca scored the third in the minute 53 by lewandowski. Aurelia and Berta jumped in their seats thrilled by this amazing team. Then in the minute 55 after exactly two minutes, Raphinha makes it 4-2 for barca. Then Fermin came in which made both Aurelia and Berta super happy.

It was really something, all the fans screaming and chanting for barca it was an amazing view and sound, everyone was so happy. "See? I told you!" Berta pointed in front of them feeling proud as them made a comeback.

Aurelia chuckled to herself her gaze on that head, she was smiling so much feeling more than proud of him, her Pau. He was looking back at her and made a small wave that made her heartbeat goes faster.

However when the minute hit 67 it changed. They hear a loud scream since they are in the vip area behind the bench of players, they heard it pretty well. It was someone in the black jersey on the field holding his face. Black jersey? Then it's a barca player.

Her heart ached when she kept looking at the players standing and didn't find him, until she caught a glimpse of him. He was the boy on the field holding his face, blood on his hands and face. It was on his jaw. She was so worried, she wanted to go over to them.

Berta tried her hardest to calm her down, but she knew Aurelia won't calm down easily especially if it's something related to Cubarsi. And it all hit her as she remembered their first interaction together 10 years ago. When the ball hit his jaw, and now it was on the same place she hit him on.

He was subbed off and went out from the field Aurelia still thinking about him and how he's doing now, she saw his face it was red. She couldn't shake off the wave of fear about him.

The game continued but her mind wasn't focused on anything but him, Fermin scored in the minute 76 she was happy but still, what about Cubarsi? She smiled a little clapping her hands together, Berta was so happy that her boyfriend scored. "Oh my god! Im so proud, my baby scored!!" she said shaking Aurelia back and forth.

She made a slight laugh at her reaction nodding her head. "Yeah yeah, you just calm down."

Berta glanced at Aurelia after the game now was 5-2 for barca, a few minutes and the game will end, she noticed that Aurelia was off and was zoning out a lot and she of course knew why. "He will be fine Lia, don't worry really." she put an arm around her shoulders.

"Im scared, i don't want him to be injured or hurt badly. And it already looks like it's so bad." she put her face in both her hands, trying to keep her tears in check. "Don't think like that.. he's strong he will be alright." she reassured her.

After the game ended, Aurelia quickly made her way towards the medic staff and asked them about Cubarsi, she told them that she is a family member and they made her less worried and told her it was nothing serious, however she asked to see him and they guided her to where he was.

She opened the door her eyes laid down on that figure she knows he looked back at her and tried to smile at her, as whenever he sees her he always smile. She rushed over to him sitting beside him on the bed holding his hand as her eyes started to tear. "How.. how are you feeling?? Does it hurt?!" she asked looking all worried.

"Hey hey.. im fine don't worry about me Lia. It's just a small thing." he put a hand on her cheek, rubbing it softly so she doesn't cry as she looked like she is on the edge of tears.

"It looks so bad. Im really sorry, you will be amazing again i swear." she didn't think of what she was saying and just kept speaking what in her mind. "Why are you apologizing? You did nothing and i swear it's nothing, i can play i can move. I don't want you to be worried please." he wiped away a tear from her eyes.

"I don't know.. it all reminded me of WHEN WE WERE YOUNG."

"Oh god.. you still remember that." he chuckled.

"It was on the same area you got hurt on your jaw today. Here." she pointed over his jaw and smiled. "Im lucky you were not looking and hit me with it though." she furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. "Why?"

"Because it made me meet the prettiest girl ever." his eyes had sparkles in them as he talked about her, her cheeks got pink.

"Im so lucky to have you."

-You are the love of my life. ꨄ︎
