Chapter 2: Explaination 1.0

Scarlet's Point of View:
"What are you talking about?" Sergio asked me curiously.

"We're just going to leave now." Jose butted in awkwardly between us two glaring each other down, and holding moms hand out the door.

"It was just getting exciting." Paqui mumbled under her breath.

"You really don't know do you?" I asked feeling slightly bad for talking about his bedroom life in front of our parents.

"Can you explain it to me?" Sergio asked, leaving to go sit on the sofa. I soon followed him, and sat opposite of him.

FLASHBACK- Scarlet's Point of View:
My mind was racing, who does that do a person? Especially on their birthday? I thought she was my best friend? Why?

These were all questions I wanted, needed answers to terribly. I could feel the mascara running down my cheeks as I ran out Sergio's house, where my birthday party was currently being held, all the way to my parents' house. A normal twenty minute walk I had ran in less than ten, which I was proud of until it reminded me of the pace I knew my now ex-boyfriend had on the field.

Once in my room I grabbed the largest suitcase from my closet, and packed all the clothes that could fit. I made sure to let somebody, anybody, but him know where I was going. I called the first person I knew I could trust with my life my brothers teammate, Cristiano Ronaldo.

After two rings he picked up, "Scar where are you? I saw you leave the party and I've been searching for you for at least thirty minutes!" Cris rambled on quickly, obviously scared, he was basically another brother and I was another sister.

"Cris, I need you to come to my parents' house quick. Love you, I will explain later." my voice was muffled through the sobs, while my nose was running. I had to at least look presentable, and this dress was too uncomfortable, so I wiped off all my mascara and changed into some sweatpants and Sergio's Real Madrid jersey.

While Cristiano was driving to the house, I searched the quickest flights to the places no one would think I would go to: Australia.

Cristiano came and I immediately hugged him tightly. "Go sit down, I'll make some tea." Cris nudged my shoulder.

I sat on the sofa in the living room with my head in my hands, crying. The tea was done in a matter of minutes and Cris came back and sat down next to me cradling me. "Cris I can't be here anymore. I found him with Hope, in my bedroom! I need to get away from him, from everyone just for a little while. I need you to promise not to tell Serg or him about where I'm going, I need to tell Serg myself." I sniffled.

"Scar you need to tell me where you're going, and for how long, can I tell the other teammates, what about his team?" Cris asked these questions at 100 miles per hour, or what it had seemed like.

"You can tell both teams, probably a couple months, maybe more? Sydney, Australia." I tried to answer all questions he had thrown at me.

"Australia?! You've never been there! You don't even speak Australian!" Cristiano exclaimed.

"Cris first off, you're an idiot, Australian is not a language. Secondly, you're coming with me." I laughed while trying to persuade him with the classic puppy eyes and lip pouting.

"Scarlet Garcia Ramos! Are you crazy? The La Liga final is in a week!" Cris nearly shunned me for being so ignorant.

"Which is why I only have three days with you to help me set up!" I tried once again.

"Ugh, fine. Three days, okay maybe more, depends what the weather is like, and if it gives my skin a nice tan." Cris finalized the deal.

"That's great, because our plane leaves in 5 hours!" I flashed him a dazzling smile.

"The things I do for people I love." he groaned, and started his car.

Once he left I had made a mental note to have Cris make me tea more often, it was delicious.

THREE DAYS LATER

Cris had helped me settle into a house by the Pacific Ocean. He had gone back to Spain by now, and both teams knew about my departure, and I had decided to try and call Sergio.

After six rings he picked up, or I thought it was Sergio.
"Hello?" an unfamiliar voice asked.

"Hey I'm looking for Sergio, this is his sister, Scarlet." I was a little confused by this new person. Sergio didn't have a home phone, as he thought it was just a dumb idea, so it was obviously his cell phone.

"Ugh, seriously, Sergio doesn't need another buddy in bed. I'm right here you know!" whoever it was didn't like being 'lied' to.

"Um... I don't really want to do that with my brother, could you just tell him that I left for Australia and if he wants to know why just to ask anyone on the team." I was great full they were still listening.

"Yeah, sure." they answered clearly annoyed.

"Thank you so much, also tell Serg that I love him and that I hope he will for-" before I could even finish my sentence the call was ended. "Rude." I mumble under my breath.

Authors Note; It was getting really long, so the next chapter will be a part two of explaining why she left and such. Thanks for reading! Don't forget to comment and like!
