Gone Wrong

Chapter 2

4 years later - 2023

I wake up to my phone buzzing under my pillow. I groan as I check who it is and see that it is the manager of the bar i work at, Diago.

Diago

Buenos días Sof. Necesitaré que vengas esta noche como un turno extra. Te pagaré el doble. gracias. [Good Morning Sof, I will need you to come in tonight as an extra shift. I will psy you double. Thanks]

I sighed rolling over in bed getting ready to go back to sleep. I closed my eyes for a few seconds until i felt my bed shift beside me. I opened my eyes and saw Arlo (my son) trying to jump up onto my bed.

"Arlo." I sighed. "It's still very early." I watch him struggle trying to jump up onto my bed so i grab his underarms and pull him up onto my bed.

"I know mama, i just can't sleep on my own." Arlo whispers as i pull him into my chest cuddling him.

"Oh, mi amor, está bien. Déjame decirte esto volveremos a dormir juntos y luego cuando despertemos ¡vendrá el tío Carlos! [Oh my love its okay. Let me tell you this we will go back to sleep together and then when we wake up uncle carlos will come!]

"Uncle car!" Arlo says as i laugh and lay down properly in bed.

A few hours later I woke up and look at the clock. It was 8:30 and Arlo was still asleep next to me. Poor buddy can only sleep with me. I get out of bed slowly so I don't wake him up and head to the kitchen.

As I reach the kitchen I see my brother, Carlos leaning on the counter top.

"Carlos!" I exclaim running to hug him.

"Hey sis!" He laughed rubbing my back.

"Where's Arlo?" Carlos' eyes wander the room.

"Oh he's still in bed, he should wake up any minute now though." I told him. "Carlos do you have to wear that Ferrari shirt every time you come, you're only gonna my to excite Arlo." I laughed.

Carlos had joined Ferrari a few years ago now and was actually team mates with Charles. I know what you are probably all thinking why didn't I tell Charles about me having a baby or did Carlos tell Charles? Well when Charles broke up with me I obviously didn't think he would want anything to do with me anymore let alone something to do with my child.

When I actually gave birth I thought about telling Charles but he had gotten a new girlfriend and seemed happy enough. It angered me that he was dating someone when he told me he had to focus on his career but I told myself I had to move on. Carlos told me over and over again to tell Charles but I told him I wouldn't and i also told Carlos that I would never speak to him again or see Arlo if he ever told Charles so he kept his promise to me.

"Oh please it's not my fault I'm such a cool uncle." Carlos reaches for a glass and pours himself a glass of juice.

"Uncle Car!" Arlo screams as he runs towards Carlos and jumps on him.

Carlos picked Arlo up laughing as Arlo fiddled with his shirt.

"And good morning to you too." I fake roll my eyes at Arlo.

"Morning Mama." Arlo laughs as Carlos tickles him.

"Okay give me back my son." I walk over to Carlos and snatch him out of his arms.

"Hey!" Carlos shouts.

"What would you like for breakfast amor?" I ask Arlo as I place him down on a stool next to Carlos.

"Scrambled eggs!" Arlo licks his lips.

"You want some Carlos?" I ask my brother.

"Yeah sure." He nods.
