twenty-six

9.2.24

"i've played here before" Jude smiles as we walk into the Metropolitano Stadium, the home of Atletico Madrid

"you got subbed off at half time" i tell him

"and how do you know that?" he says "i thought you didn't watch footie back then"

"Mia goes to practically every Madrid game in the city of Madrid for Vini"

"and then she comes home and tells you about my shit performances" he laughs

"precisely, i loved hearing about you failing"

"let's be so for real, you didn't, you loved me still back then"

"okay fine i might have felt kinda bad" i admit

"seee"

we find our seats in the VIP section of the stadium, which the pitch had temporarily been transformed into a stage

the performance was something to die for

it was honestly one of the best moments of my life, i didn't want it to end

after the concert, Jude made us stay for a couple minutes, and to my shock, the one and only Abel Tesfaye walks through the doors

turning his head towards us, he seems to recognise Jude

"Hey, You're Jude Bellingham, no way!" he smiles to Jude

Jude smiles "yeah mate, i'm honestly such a big fan!"

"nah bro, i'm such a big fan, i'm such a big fan, i've been getting into football recently since i've been in Europe, and you're honestly such a good player"

we all end up talking for a good minute, mostly talking about how the concert went, and Jude's football, but in the end i manage to get a picture with him, and i honestly feel like getting up and screaming
