Driving home I felt so bad, I had let down so many people today. As I drove up to the house, I saw Nina's car parked outside. She knew when I needed her most. We had been best friends since kindergarten and I valued her opinions and suggestions. "Hey Manu, I brought Dinner" she greeted me. I leaned in and hugged her tightly.

We didn't talk about today until dinner was over. The perks of having Nina as my friend is that she is a 4-star chef. "That was amazing" I exclaimed. She smiled, "Isn't it always?" I laughed an helped her clear the table.

We sat on the sofa afterward. I let her talk about what she was doing today, she didn't mention what had happened once. Did she know?, I wondered. "So how was your day?" She smiled at me. I looked at my hands, " Nina have you looked at or heard the news today?" She shook her head, a look of confusion plastered on it. "I have decided to..." I began to cry. She moved into me and put an arm around my shoulder, "... sign for Bayern Munich." I looked at her, she was such a huge fan of Schalke. Would she turn against me, like so many others had?

"I don't care where you play, as long as you stay who you are..." she trailed off. I pulled her into me and hugged her tightly. Within seconds we were both crying, this new signing meant that we'd see each other less.
