Te amo

Truth

Neymar POV

I sat in my car in the driveway looking at my house,
Trying to bring myself to go inside and face my mother. The woman who have been keeping a secret from me, my entire life.
But not only me, my entire family my father and sister to.
I don't know why but I felt so alone in this moment,
I felt like I have no one,
I wish Love was here to support me, to tell me everything is going to be ok.
I missed her comforting smile and her loving eyes.
I took a deep breath, Getting out the car walking into the house.
My mom was there in the living room,
with her coffee in her hand strolling trough her phone.
she looked up at me with a worried look on her face,
Probably because I didn't come home last night.
She looked like she hadn't slept last night either.
She was about to speak when I walked to her placing the file Rico gave me on her lap.
I watched as her eyes widened as she looked at her real name Nadine Bares on the front page.

"Did Love tell you?"
She asked looking up at me.

"No mom Rico did."
I said looking down at her.

"So it's true Mom?"
"You are related to the Bares family?"
"We are related to Rico Rico Bares one of the most feared gang leader in Europe."
"Who is he to me?
"my distant cousin or something?"
"The file said his mother was killed by Isaac's grandfather when he was a baby,"
"Is Rico mother your sister who you said died before you came to Brazil?"
I asked as she flipped trough the pages on the file.

"No Neymar, my sister isn't Rico's mother.
"I am Rico's mother."
She said as tears began to flow down her face.
I stood there in shock, not believing what I'm hearing, I was expecting to hear Rico is my cousin or something not my brother.

"Im sorry I lied to you Neymar,"
"but I  kept my past a secret for a reason,"
"the Bares family have many enemies,"
"and I didn't want your father, you or Rafa to get caught up in it."
"That's why I changed my last name,"
"to start a new life away from the burden that comes with my family."
She said looking at me.

"If your family was so dangerous then why did you leave Rico with them?"
"Why didn't you take him with you to Brazil?"
I asked not believing what she is telling me.

"When I had Rico I was very young and scared,"
"And I wasn't financially fit to take care of a baby,"
"I had to give him to my sister,"
"I knew she would give him a better life."
My mom said showing me a picture of her sister who looked just like her.

"Well mom great parenting,"
"because you're son Rico is now a gang leader,"
"who threaten my girlfriend to work with him to find his mother who happens to be you."

"And now Love is kidnapped by Isaac because she worked with Rico."
"And she can't tell him the real reason why she did what she did"
"because she is scared Isaac will kick me out off PSG or probably kill me because I'm Rico's fucking step brother." 

"Look Mom, I'm not angry with for having a kid."
"What I'm angry about is the fact that you kept a secret from us all these years."
"I know you wanted to protect us."
"But what I'm confused about is why didn't you go get Rico when you got the news your sister died?"
"Why did you leave him there?"
" I'm sure dad wouldn't of got angry if you told him you had son"
"Dad loves you, he would of forgiven you and except Rico as his own."
I said sitting next to her.

"Neymar I swear I was going to get him back"
"when I got the news my sister died, I flew back to Italy where she lived, to get Rico,"
"but I was told he was also killed along with her."
"I blame myself for years for his death."

"When Love told me Rico was alive."
"I was so happy."
"I still don't know how she figured everything out."
"She wanted to tell you so badly,"
"she said she hates the idea of keeping a secret from you."
"But I begged her not to say anything."
"I asked her to call Rico and ask him to fly to Brazil so I can meet him."
"That's where Isaac got the pictures with her and Rico together."
"Love is in all this mess because of me."
"I'm so sorry Neymar."
My mom said as she broke down in tears.

I was interrupted by my phone buzzing,
It was a message from Dario,
he said he's coming over,
he needs to speak to me immediately.
