Chapter 385 Nightmares

385 Nightmares

***29th December 2020***

After stumbling on Sofia's betrayal two days, Jason had driven back to Porto singing to the music in the car as he sped along the highways at breakneck speed, but his skill behind the wheel was enough to get him home in one piece and Jason had collapsed into his bed as soon as he got home.

Unlike what he had thought, it hadn't been hard for him to sleep due to his exhaustion, however, the problem came after when his mind started replaying the event inside his head while he slept, making everything seem like a bad dream.

When Jason woke up the next morning, he was in a worse mood than ever.

The images just wouldn't go away.

He had no doubt that physically he slept soundly, but his mind was never asleep and had kept replaying those scenes like it was a movie on repeat.

What was worse was that after a while, it seemed like his brain began adding dramatic effects like a CGI expert to make it stab into him more.

However, that wasn't his problem... what was really his problem was when his brain began to delve away from the known and into the unknown.

After replaying the scenes of what had happened in his head for the umpteenth time, his brain had decided to start visualizing the scene of Sofia cheating on him and this was where he drew the line.

He was disgusted and annoyed, but the images kept tormenting him.

This was all because of the chats that he had read.

The whole fiasco between Mylo and Sofia seemed to have begun on the night when she came to his house for a surprise visit, but he wasn't there since he had been quarantined in Germany at that moment.

Jason had thought she would end up going home to her mom's place, but it seemed that for some very stupid reason, she had ended up back at the dormitory where he had first lived with Mylo.

No one was able to notice the rift between the promising talents on the team as there wasn't any training where they had to interact that much, however, Jason had already decided something for himself.

He did not care whether the team would like it or not, but he was never going to pass the ball to Mylo ever again on the pitch.

He would rather try taking on the whole opposition team at once and lose the ball instead of giving Mylo a chance at glory.

His stats might take a dip and talks about him being a non-team player may spread, but he no longer cared.

At this point, it was only a matter of time before what happened between them spilled out to the teammates so Jason didn't care whether it was earlier or later, but his decision would remain the same.

If it became an issue with the management, he would simply leave the club.

It was already getting to that time for him anyway.

With his mind made, Jason threw himself into training, doing his best to exhaust himself so he could sleep with a blank mind that night.

He didn't stop there and went on to train himself just enough to not strain his muscles, but he made sure to exhaust himself thoroughly before going to sleep, hoping for a dreamless sleep.

When he woke up the next morning, he was in an even worse mood because his efforts to tire himself to death for a dreamless night hadn't worked.

His irritation was building and he wanted to pull out his hair in annoyance, but he calmed himself with a cold wash as he began preparing to leave for the training grounds to meet the team bus that would be taking the players to Guimares for their match against Vitoria de Guimares.

While he was preparing, the bell rang, alerting him of someone outside his house, leaving him wondering who would want to meet him at this time of the morning, after all, he wasn't exactly a social person, but on opening the door, the urge to slam the door back filled his body.

How could it not fill his body when the cause of his nightmares was standing in his doorway?
