The Accidental Wife (Emily and Julian)

Agitation is threatening to take control over my whole body. I don't know what to expect, but I'm hoping for the best. For the past few days, we have been watching Rosie, making sure that she is okay. After Maisie met her, she told me about their conversation. I was surprised that they met since Maisie didn't tell me anything about seeing Rosie.

Being the amazing friend she is, Maisie decided that we needed to orchestrate a plan to get Rosie and me back together. She asked the girls for help, and they immediately agreed, saying that they wanted us to get back together too. They have also noticed that Rosie hasn't been okay lately and they have been worried about her. I'm worried too. It kills me to see her in this state and she's not giving anybody a chance to help her out. I wasn't sure if she was going out today or not, but luckily, as a resident in the building, I have access to the CCTV of the garage and the lobby, so when I saw her leaving the e lobby, I quickly left my apartment and dec and decided t to follow her. When I saw her at the gym, I informed Caroline and she waited for her until she left the gym and acted like she met her by total coincidence. Maisie was the one who set the whole plan.

I was relieved when I learned from Natalie that Caroline managed to convince Rosie to join them for lunch and right now, I'm waiting for the updates. I'm currently at the team's house with Sabrina, Knox, Dave, Justin and Maisie. I'm not sure if to convince her to come to the the game or not, but I'm hoping for the best. I want my lucky charm to be there.

I can't believe that she thinks I don't want her back. I want her more than anything in my entire life. She is the love of my life and I cannot bring myself to forget her. Her love is deeply rooted in my heart and I want it to stay like that. When she first told me that she wanted me out of her life, I was incredibly hurt. Not once in my life have I ever imagined such a terrible moment. The idea of losing her forever made me unable to breath.

But then I I heard her sobs and my heart broke into a million pieces. I wanted to knock on her door and tell her I didn't believe a single word she had said. I wanted to make her feel better in any possible way. Yet, I walked away with a heavy heart and right now, I blame myself for for not being persistent. Was my pain stronger than the desire to hold onto her at that moment? Did I walk away because I was thinking about how Maisie would feel?

down.

"We're back!" Alexa sing-songs and I quickly set the cup I'm holding on the nearest table I can find. My heartbeats accelerate to the point of pain, not knowing what to expect. "Please tell me you have good news," I plead, looking at the three of them.

Even if they failed to convince her to come to the game, I won't give up on her. I will do whatever I can. I'm just hoping luck is on my side this time, because I'm tired, but not tired enough to give up. I don't think I can ever give up on Rosie.

"She's coming to the game!" Caroline exclaims and cheers erupt from behind me as I sigh in relief.

was hesitant at first, thinking that you wouldn't want to see her there," Natalie tells me and I fight the urge to roll my eyes. How could she think like that? Of course, I want her there. She is my beautiful lucky charm and I will always want her to be at my games. Knowing that she's going to attend gives me a bigger incentive to work harder and play better.

"To make sure that she's coming, we're all having a sleepover at her place tomorrow and we're going to get ready for the game together," Caroline fills me in.

"And you're invited to the sleepover, Maisie," Natalie quickly adds.

Suddenly, I'm hopeful. I have a feeling that she's going to be mine again. I have a feeling that things may suddenly work in our favour.

"Did she say anything about me?" I nervously ask as I take seat beside Knox.

"She still loves you, Šilas. She loves you so so much. She is just convinced that she's bad for you because she has hurt you and that's why she's pushing you away," Caroline tells me and I shake my head.

"I hate what she's doing to herself," Sabrina murmurs. I hate it too. I hate how her conscience has been tormenting her. She needs to go easy on herself and if she doesn't know how to do that, I'm going to help her out. "Tomorrow, don't let the day pass without making her yours again," Dave tells me.

I'm determined to do that. It feels like I have wasted so much time and it's finally time to make up for it.

I wish I had time to see Rosie before the game, but the timing wasn't right. I have been busy all day with training, meeting with the coach to strategize how we should play and everything else related to the game.

When I look at the crowd once we walk into the field, I try to spot her. I know where the girls will sit and I also know where my family and hers will be. Luckily, it's easy for me to see her and I can't help but smile when I see her happily interacting with the other girls. It's like I'm finally seeing glimpses of the old Rosie again.

I miss how beautiful she used to look when she was happy, but I'm determined to make her happy again. I want to collect all of her broken pieces and glue them back together.

When I move closer to where they all are, I notice how she's not wearing the team's jersey like the other girls. She has a jacket on. Although I want to see her in my jersey, I don't care that much that she's not wearing it today. I wasn't expecting her to wear it anyway. She looks at the field for a second and I can tell that she notices me. Shyly, she waves at me and I do the same with a big smile on my face before running back to the team to continue our warmups before the

During the halftime, I steal a quick glance at where she is and I love how she looks like she's having a good time. I always want her to be this happy, because she deserves this.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

The game stays for longer than expected and by the end of it, I was exhausted. Thankfully, we won. To say that we're happy would be an understatement. We're over the moon. My teammates carry me over their shoulders as we celebrate. I know that a huge party is going to be thrown at the team's house tonight and as the captain, I must be there.

I look at my family and the pride I see on their faces makes me forget the exhaustion I'm feeling. They have given me so much and making them proud feels like the least I can do. I try searching for Rosie, but I fail to see her.

When the coach calls my name, I rush back to him.

"Congratulations on the good game, Silas. Your performance was outstanding," a man I don't recognize tells me.

"Thank you, sir," I politely say.

"Expect a call from me next Monday," he informs me before walking away, leaving me confused.

"Who is he?" I ask my coach,

"This is the manager of your dream team, Silas. You're going to make it big, son." My eyes widen upon hearing that, unable to believe what I have just heard. This feels too good to be true. It's time to celebrate and have fun." He pats me on the shoulder before hugging I can't believe that this was my last football game as a college student.

I head to the lockers to change, then I call Dad to find out where they are. I make my way to where everybody is and as I approach, I could feel that something is wrong.

"Congratulations, honey," Mum say, hugging me. Dad, Tristan and Aniyah do the same and when they pull away, look around, trying to spot Sabrina, Caroline, Julian and Emily. Rosie isn't here too. Why did they leave?

"Why don't you guys look happy? Did something happen?" I ask worry already filling my body.

Before they get to answer me, Caroline shows up and says, "She's fine. She's awake now." Who is she talking about?

"Is everything okay, Caroline?" I ask her. She seems startled, as if she didn't expect to see me.

I watch as she looks at everybody, anxiousness evident on her face. I was losing my patience. I have a feeling that something is wrong, but I'm trying not to think of the worst.

"Can somebody please answer me?" I huff, throwing my hands in the air.

"Everything is fine now, but something happened to Rosie." My heart sinks at Caroline's words.
