"It's because i trust you! The problem is that I don't trust, Them..."

"Everything is fine don't stress over nothing." Aitana says

"Yeah.. maybe your right, Anyway. I'll go find my seat now." i say to the girl and i walk towards the end of the plane

"There.. I found a seat" i say as i sit down, i quickly put my airpods in my ears and chill, looking out of the window.

After a while, someone pushed my hand

"Who is agai-" i began to say but the one sitting next to me closed my mouth

"quiet! Your going to wake some boys up" Pedri says

"What are you doing next to me and i told you not to talk to me!" i said whispering

"Oh please, you told yhe girls too, stop the act"

"... That's still not an excuse for you to talk to me!"

"Please let me sit here! I promise i won't bother you"

"Fine, just don't bother me nor talk to me!"

"Thank you"

About 20 minutes later, i noticed Pedri's leg shaking

"You okay?" i ask him

"Perfectly fine, what fo you mean? haha"

"Stop the act, are you nervous?"

"I'm stressed. But don't bother yourself, I'll stay quiet!"

"Stop telling me what to do." i said and then placed my hand on his leg

"What are you doing?" he asks

"Calming you down"

"How is this going to help?"

"You will see in a bit, now stop talking"

"Yes ma'am"

"funny"

He immediately calmed down after a couple of minutes

"See? Your better"

"Your right, Thanks"

"no problem, I always get stressed sometimes. Mostly when I'm in an interview.." i say as i laugh

"heh.. you're not as tough as you think"

"It's not like I'm tough.. It's that I don't like it when others get advantage of my behaviour, that's why i act like I'm tough."

"You can be yourself with us.. with me"

"Thanks, it means a lot"
"Now stop it, i need some sleep"

"okay!"

--

The airplane finally landed and we got off. We went to the hotel we were supposed to sleep, thankfully they had enough rooms for everyone, even tho i chose to sleep with Alexia and Aitana.

We unpacked our clothes and we got ready for the match.

We then went with the team to LA's stadium, the place where the match would take part in.

As i went with the girls to our seats, Pedri stopped me

"Layla!"

The girls went to find our seats and left me behind

"Yes Pedri?"

"I'm stressed again, what do i do?"

"Take deep breaths Pedro, remember that your not alone with this. You have your teammates and us in the benches. No meed to worry" I say as i watch Pedri calming down
"You can also whisper to yourself a phrase" i added

"What kind of phrase?"

"For example, the phrase i tell myself everytime I'm stressed before and inside the game is 'I can do it , I'll beat them'. I know it might be a little stupid but it helps me focus on my goal" I say
"You should try it, if you can't concentrate on the game" I added

"Thank you so much!"

"No need to thank me, now go and beat their ass"

"Leave it to me! I'll do my best"

"I'm sure you will" I say
"Now i must go find my seat" i add

"What seat are you on"

"36B Middle"

"Okay i know where the seat is. I'll look at you if i have a problem."

"Okay, good luck!"

Look, I'm starting to like him, not in a romantic way. But he is just like me, scared to do a big step. That's why I'll try to be his friend and help him. Don't take me wrong! I still Don't care about him enough to trust him but it worth a shot
