Siempre te voy a querer

Chapter 7

The next day, Santiago and the blue-haired girl wasted no time in spreading rumors about Isabella, their words cutting deep and leaving her feeling isolated. But Edson refused to let his sister face this alone. Everywhere he went, he made sure Isabella was by his side, offering her unwavering support.

During a break in training, Isabella found herself chatting with Diego, a fellow teammate, until Santiago's girlfriend approached them with a sneer. "So, your name is Isabella," she remarked, her tone dripping with malice.

Isabella nodded warily. "Yes, why do you ask?" she replied, sensing trouble brewing.

The girl leaned in close, her voice low and threatening. "You better watch your back, chica. Santiago doesn't like snitches," she warned before walking away, leaving Diego baffled by the exchange.

Fed up with the constant harassment, Isabella finally decided to speak up. As the training session resumed, Santiago and his girlfriend approached her, their intentions clear.

After a few moments of tense conversation, Santiago's girlfriend made a veiled threat, but Isabella refused to cower in fear. With steely resolve, she looked Santiago straight in the eye and said, "I won't be intimidated by you or your girlfriend. I'll always stand up for what's right, no matter the cost."

With that, Isabella turned on her heel and left, her head held high. Outside the office where they had spoken, Diego waited anxiously, his expression filled with concern as he watched Isabella emerge.

Seeing the turmoil on her face, Diego's heart ached for his teammate. Despite only knowing her for a few days, he could already see the strength and resilience within Isabella, and he vowed to stand by her side through whatever challenges lay ahead.

As Isabella stepped out of the office, Diego approached her with a sympathetic expression. "Hey, are you okay?" he asked, concern evident in his voice.

Isabella managed a weak smile, grateful for Diego's support. "Yeah, I'll be fine. Just another day in the life, right?" she replied, trying to brush off the encounter.

But Diego wasn't easily fooled. He could see the toll Santiago's harassment was taking on Isabella, and he felt a surge of anger towards his teammate.

"You shouldn't have to deal with this, Isa. It's not right," Diego said, his tone firm. Isabella nodded in agreement, appreciating his empathy.

"Thanks, Diego. I really appreciate it," she said, her voice tinged with gratitude. With Diego by her side, Isabella felt a glimmer of hope amidst the turmoil.

As they walked back to join the rest of the team, Isabella knew that she had allies who would stand by her, no matter what challenges she faced. And with Diego's support, she felt stronger than ever, ready to face whatever Santiago and his girlfriend threw her way.

As the days passed, the tension between Isabella and Santiago escalated, fueled by Anastasia's relentless efforts to smear Isabella's reputation. Unable to confront Isabella directly, Anastasia resorted to spreading vicious rumors online, hoping to turn the tide of public opinion against her.

Isabella's heart sank as she scrolled through the hurtful comments and false accusations flooding social media. Despite her attempts to ignore the negativity, the relentless onslaught of hate took its toll on her mental and emotional well-being.

Meanwhile, Edson grew increasingly furious at the injustice his sister was facing. Determined to put an end to the bullying, he confronted Santiago and Anastasia, demanding they cease their malicious campaign.

But Anastasia's manipulative tactics only escalated, spreading the rumors even further and rallying supporters to her cause. Isabella felt powerless against the onslaught, her confidence wavering as the weight of the situation bore down on her.

Yet amidst the chaos, Isabella found solace in the unwavering support of her friends and teammates. Together, they rallied around her, offering words of encouragement and standing up against the baseless accusations.

As the online vitriol reached a fever pitch, Isabella knew that she couldn't let the hate consume her. With her head held high, she vowed to stay true to herself and weather the storm, confident that the truth would ultimately prevail.

Fed up with the relentless harassment his sister was facing, Edson finally reached his breaking point. During practice, he confronted Santiago, his anger boiling over as he accused him of making Isabella cry.

The tension between them escalated quickly, their heated exchange drawing the attention of their teammates and the coaching staff. Before anyone could intervene, Edson lunged at Santiago, his fists clenched in fury.

The coach rushed over, trying to defuse the situation. "¿Qué pasó, Edson?" he demanded, his voice firm as he attempted to restore order.

"This guy won't leave Isa alone," Edson replied, his voice dripping with frustration.

Santiago sneered at Edson's accusation. "You're a snitch, Edson. Now I know where your sister got it from," he shot back, his words fueling Edson's rage.

Unable to contain his anger any longer, Edson lunged towards Santiago, his fist aimed squarely at his teammate's face. Santiago stumbled back in disbelief, the gravity of the situation sinking in.

Once again, their teammates rushed to separate them, their voices raised in protest as they tried to defuse the volatile situation. Sensing the severity of the conflict, the coaching staff intervened, giving Edson and Santiago a choice: reconcile and move forward as a team or face suspension from the next four games.

Caught in the throes of their animosity, Edson and Santiago exchanged a tense glance, each weighing their options carefully. With tensions running high, the fate of their team hung in the balance.
