chapter twenty two

Wells pov

That day after leaving the resort; I simply left to my special spot which was the football field and I laid on the grass while feeling the calmness around me and quietness, I guess this was what I wanted right now more than anything else which made me broke my promise to Harper when she asked if I would be coming to the party.

I guess I knew it would hurt her that I ditched her at the last minute when she wanted to see me the most; but I was not myself and I couldn't push further to go see her when I knew I wouldn't be able to give her all my attention, I knew she would try to contact me again after how I responded to her call which clearly says that things didn't go as I expected, even though I just wanted to be alone now.

I spent a considerable time there just laying down there and staring at the now open sky with lots of stars in it, I wanted to enjoy this peaceful time more than anything which made me turn off my phone from getting any calls or notifications from my guys; and I watched the stars while thinking about all that transpired between me and mom today.

I soon got over it and rose up while staring at the open field and I decided to run around the open field a bit to clear my head further while feeling closer to my source, I ran for a couple of minutes around the field ; there after I went home where I had my bath and went straight to bed to refresh myself.

The next day I got a lots of text from Harper which was her way of showing her concerns; but I was not interested in talking right now even if I knew she was a better person and truly cares about what I think, I still want more time to reflect on the decision I've made and l only read through her messages while also not replying to it at first, even if I did reply to one of it though which she asked how I was and I just said fine whilst she asked if I would be in school on Monday.

I told her a yes and I would clearly be at the field or at the changing room of our soccer field after classes; well I still plan on attend class for the coming weeks before getting my permit to move over to Manchester cause it was arranged by my coach who had someone there, I mean I never knew he would be of this much help to me but I really appreciated all he had done already this far cause I told him my mom wouldn't agree even if it's what I wanted, and he kept on telling me to make sure it was what I wanted to do just like Harper he was a great person.

I got to class today and I must say I never missed it one bit; all through the class I just kept remembering all the conversation we had last week Friday on the resort about mom's meeting with her client, I mean I couldn't help it but I just wanted it to stop cause I've made up my mind to leave for Manchester already which was one of the reasons I never wanted to talk to Harper, she was a nice person and when she found out I'm leaving I'm not sure how she would react to it all even if she had my well being at heart.

Classes was same and soon it was lunch and I left for the soccer field where I sat down at the beach and watched the entire field, my coach approached me and sat closer to me and said I shouldn't worry that everything would be fine; and I said I wasn't worried that I would just miss seeing him around and the filed which inspired more and he laughed and said he wasn't able to pursue his dream as a footballer when he was younger, so he hoped that I could do what he never had the courage to do while also excelling at it and I stood up and made a slight dowing stance at him and he laughed at me and said he would be off now.

I watched him leave and I continued sitting there and the time flew by swiftly which made me to head over to the changing room; I took my uniform and put it on after which I left for the filed to practice my long shot as well as short pass and tackling as well, which took me an entire hour and I knew judging by the time the school was bound to be quite now so I went to the changing room to freshen up from all the sweating from running around the field, so I got into the changing room and pulled out a short towel which I used in wiping my face.

And I sat down on the bench placed at the side of the room while running through my phone for any messages; I took out a water bottle and drank a bit of water while slowly checking the content of my bag and I saw so souvenir which I left behind for future use, I put them aside and kept searching for a meal ticket to a restaurant which I obtained by chance from a reliable source when I heard a knock on the door, followed by a voice of a girl who called my name and she was non other than Harper.
