You were dating the popular football player at your school.

His name is axel.

He was a diamond that everyone liked but he chose you despite his heavy trust issues.

You were sat by the bleachers, watching him practice for hours. Football was his all but it was too much.

It was also your birthday today.

“Axel, why don’t you take a break?”, you went up to him.

“Practicing”, he replied as he threw a football across.

“It’s been hours…take a break”, you sighed.

You nudged a water bottle towards him. “I’m fine, I don’t need it”, he said.

“You’re overworking your body”, you said sternly.

“I don’t need you to nag me as well”, Axel said sounds annoyed.

“Axel, what day is it today?”, you crossed your arms.

“Why are you asking?”, he shook his head.

“What day is it today?”, your eyes slowly watered.

“Look, I don’t know and I don’t care”, he blurted.

You suddenly heard your friend yell from the school’s entrance, “hey, see you at your birthday party!”.

Axel’s face regrettably softened, “no, Baby——“.

“I’m going home”, you muttered as you walked back.

It hurt how he prioritized football over you but it hurt the most that he had forgotten.
