- seventeen -

Memo just dropped me off and he's picking me up again in about 4 hours. I need to get ready and I have no idea what I'm going to wear. I don't know if I'll have time to go shopping so I'll look in my closet.

I get in the shower and shave everywhere. I'm doing my makeup and hair when I get a call. It's from memo. Fuck, is he here? He said 7 and it's only 6:20. He better not be here ahhh.

I answer and say "Hello?" Hoping he won't say he's outside "Vale" he says in a sloppy voice. That's wierd but as long as he's not here yet "Memo?" I ask "I'm sorry" he says and my heart dropped. What did he do? What happened "What do you mean?" I say with a fake laugh because I'm confused "I'm really sorry vale" he says and I hear his voice crack "Memo? Are you okay?" I ask because he sounds different "I'm sorry, I love you so much. To the point that I have to do this" he says and now I'm panicking because what is happening "Memo? What's wrong?" I ask in a concerned voice "I'm not good for you. You're right, I've screwed up too many times. You deserve better then me." He says crying "Memo, what are you saying?" I ask him because I don't know what he's trying to say

"I think you deserve better. It's gonna kill me seeing you be happy with someone else but you deserve someone better" he says and my heart shattered. All of a sudden it's 3 years ago and he's breaking up with me. My eyes tear up immediately "No memo don't say that" I say "Please don't cry, it's my fault. It's always been my fault. I regret that night so much, I never should've broken up with you." He says and before he could say anything else I say "No memo what are you saying?" I question if he's really ending things with us "It's for your best. You've given me too many chances. I want to be with you more than anything but you deserve someone who knows not to let you go in the first place." He says and my tears just grow "Memo don't say that bullshit. I only want you and we had shit get in between us but I'm not letting you go" I say crying "Vale, I'm so sorry. Te amo hermosa pero esto no va a funcionar. Tú necesitas a alguien mejor que yo. Te amo, te amo, temo ago" he says and my heart shattered.

How could he do this to me today? After all these years of waiting and when someone is going right he ruins it. "No te puedo creer. Me estás haciendo esto otra ves? En serio?" I ask now full ok crying "Perdóname me, nomas quiero lo mejor para ti" he says and i honestly feel like I'm in a nightmare "Adios, memo" I say and he says "Perdóname, no te quise lastimar enserio, pero se que es lo mejor para ti" he says and i reply one last time "You don't know what's good for me" and hang up.

That was the last time I talked to memo since. I'm just heartbroken and I haven't really done anything but go to work. Bruna comes by at least 3 times a week to check on me but I don't feel like talking to anyone.

Memos pov:

Yes, we officially ended things. I know you all probably hate me right now and I hate myself too but she deserves so much better. I shouldn't have made her wait. I want her more then anything but I'm scared to hurt her again. What if I hurt her this time more than the times before. I don't want to see her cry over me ever again after this.

That night I got really really drunk and I do regret it but I know it's the best for her. I always ruin it but for that same reason I had to let her go. I know it's going to pain me seeing her with someone else but it's for her best. I wish I could just hold her and never let anything or anyone hurt her but I'm the one who's hurting her. I know this is the worst decision I could make in my life but I know I don't deserve her at all. She's too old for me.

I haven't spoken to her since and I really want to see her because I miss her and because I want to talk it out with her. It was kinda fucked up on how I just did it over the phone but I knew I wouldn't be able to do it in person. Hearing her cry killed me and I know if I would've seen the, that would've been it for me. I want t call her and ask her to come to my game and we can talk after but I feel like that's fucked up. The World Cup is coming uo very soon. It starts next month and this I sour last game before we have straight training for 4 weeks.

I have decided to call her and ask her to come. I also want her to come because she's still my geoduck charm even if were not dating. I honestly don't think i'll ever move on from this. she's the only person I want to be with, she's the only person I've wanted to be with since I was 9 years old. Since the day I met her fell I love and I knew she was my soulmate.

"Hello?" I say as the phone stops ringing and I fianlly hear nothing "Who's this" says a random voice that I don't recognize. It sounds like man but I can't tell who it is. "Vale?"I say and the mystery man says "Memo? is this Ochoa" he says in a quieter voice "Who's this?" I say now wanting to know who the fuck is answering her calls. I hear him laughing before saying "Don't ever call this phone again. Its Mbappe by the way" says no other than the Kylian Mbappe "Wheres vale?" I ask "She's currently under me moa-" "hello?" says vale cutting him off "Kylian fuck off" she says in the background laughing. Is she really fucking hi, right now? ouch "Memo?" she says "Vale" I say "Memo, what do you want?" she says kind of annoyed and I can't blame her "I want to talk to you?" I say "About what? that you don't love me? Or that you don't want to be with me?" She says and it broke me because I want to tell her I lover her but for what?

I know we should be together but she deserves someone so much better. "Vale, I'm sorry but I want to explain." I say wanting to get her to come "Memo, you've told me everything. You said I deserve better and that's that. I don't know what else you need to say?" She says and she's right. I guess that is all I needed her to know. "Okay, can you still come?" I say then I think I guess I do just want to see her "I don't know memo? Is that a good idea?" She asks "Yeah, it is. It's not like we weren't friends before" I say and realize just how stupid I sound after it comes out of my mouth.

Valentina's pov:

"You really shouldn't vale" says Kylian in a low tone and I think about it. He's not wrong I shouldn't but the heart wants what it wants. "Can I bring someone?" I ask "Umm, who" says memo over the phone "A friend" I say "Male friend?" He asks "Yes but your just my male friend too" I say and kinda regret it but I'm wrong.

Memos pov:

Ouch. I Guess i am just a friend of hers. She's not wrong but that one hurt. "Yeah, sure" I say to not show my pain. I guess I brought that one on myslef. Okay. Great. She's bringing a male friend and I'm 99% sure it's Kylian. I know he hates me right now and will do anything to make me mad. Including making me jealous. It's gonna work but I'm gonna try not to show it.
