eleven

i was cold

for weeks

and he stayed with me

he brought me food to my room, comforted me, even missed training some days to take care of me

he was so sweet

he was the only reason i bounced back after losing dad

i swear without him i would have gone crazy

14.1.20

jude's pov

she walks out of the car dressed in all black, Emil by her side and her mother on the verge of tears

she'd spoken a total of about 2 sentences to me in the last 2 weeks

she was broken

i was proud of her for even coming today, if it was her choice, she'd stay home and stare out of her window all day like she'd been doing since it happened

.

she stands on the podium and begins to speak

"he was the best father i could have asked for, in this day and age, you don't get a better dad than him, he provided for us and loved us all, he was fun and caring and strict in the best way possible. he was gone too soon" she sniffles as we all clap

she walks down the podium and runs outside in tears

I get up trying my best not to cause a mess 

I look at her mum, making her know i'd take care of her, and walk out behind her

"chloe" i say as i see her crying, sat against the wall of the church on a small patch of grass

"go away" she sobs

she can't watch the burial

it would break her even more

i quickly order an uber home, and pick her up and move her with me into the car

i carry the girl up the stairs and into her bed and take a seat next to her as i comfort her as she cries

"chloe, you know i'll be there for you, no matter what, i promise you"

she nods

i look her in the eyes and kiss her

it wasn't the first time we've kissed

"you'll be fine"

.

"you know i'll be there for you no matter what, i promise you"

it keeps repeating in my head

he was a liar

i get he had to leave

but it hurt that he broke his promise like that

he could have at least texted before he went

jude's pov

"Jude" Vini smiles as i open the door for him

"what" i say

"i have an idea"

"what"

"why don't you take a little holiday, i spoke with coach and he thought it would be a great idea for you to just go somewhere warm, it'll put your head in the right place"

"no thanks"

"come on, you love Mykonos"

"bro Mykonos is probably so cold right now, it's December"

"i've been to Greece in the winter Jude, it's so nice"

"no"

"too bad, i've already booked everything for you"

"fuck off you idiot, i'm not going"

"yes you are, now get packing because your flight is in 2 days"

maybe it will help

mia's pov

"chloe love, you need to get some rest"

"what rest, i'm sleeping fine" i grumpily say

"no, some proper rest, why don't we go on holiday, to get your mind off Jude and that"

"Jude's not in my head"

"still, uni's off for a bit, let's go Mykonos or something, i've always wanted to go"

"in December?"

"Vini said the weathers amazing there in the winter"

i roll my eyes

"i'll take that as a yes"

"fine" i groan 

"well get packing, flights in a few days?"

"wait- you already booked?"

"we were always going, whether you like it or not"

"bitch" i joke flipping her off and walking into my room to find a suitcase

...

not mia and vini plotting 🤭
