The Things That You Do
Alexa wasn’t good with her feelings.
For a long time, she had had feelings for Lionel, but she had always shied away from admitting them, not wanting to make things awkward between her and her friend. But, when she finally worked up the nerve to share her feelings with him, she was greeted by the news that he has someone new in his life, something which hit her hard.
Hurting, she slowly started to pull away from him, not comfortable watching him be happy with someone else, and for a while, it worked, at least until she lost somebody that was important to her, something which allows Lionel to make his way back into her life, determined to be her shoulder to cry on.
Lionel was hurt, when Alexa pulled away from him with little to no explanation, it stung him, but still he wanted to be there for her, wanting nothing more than to make her feel better. But he has questions, ones that only Alexa can answer. Will she explain to him why she pulled away or will she try to pull away from him again?
A/N: Obviously, I don’t own Lionel Messi or anything or anyone you may recognize, but the plot and OCs are mine.
