Pedri's POV
"I'll see you tomorrow, guys." I said, leaving the locker room after I checked if everything was in my bag.
"Take care." Raphinha said, someone murmuring something too, but I hadn't paid attention as I rechecked my phone to see if Ariana texted or called back since I tried to talk to her earlier and there was no response from her.
Something was obviously wrong, since she never let me like that, even if she was busy at the moment, I would get something back or she would let me know if something came up at that time.
The first thing I did when I got inside the car was to call her again, and still nothing. "Hi, Gabby. Could you check on Ariana, please? She's not responding for hours and it's gonna take a while until I get back home." I said as I dialed her phone, being my only hope.
"Sure, I'll go now." she said, worried too.
"Thank you." I told her before she would hang up.
My mind kept wondering about what the hell could have happened, if she's alright, if she is upset about something, many scenarios were in my head at that moment. It didn't make sense anything, in the morning before I left everything was perfect.
"That's impossible." I said as I kept stopping at every red light, exactly when I needed to hurry the most, then to see on the map that I'd be stuck in traffic for another 20 minutes. Adding to all of these, Gabriela hasn't said anything since I called her, and I don't know how to take this.
"Look at me, this is going to be fine, alright?" I heard from upstairs as I stepped inside, and I froze for a second.
"Why is this happening to me?" Ariana barely got to say as she was still crying, and I rushed to her, just to see her in Gabriela's arms, while lying on the floor, with a few negative pregnancy tests thrown next to her.
"Look who is here." Gabriela told her as she tried to wipe her tears, while I was trying to keep it together for her, even though it broke my heart to see her like that.
"Baby, come here." I whispered, as I kneeled to be close to her, "let's get you to bed." I said as I lifted her from the floor, since she was already getting cold. "Talk to me, I'm here with you now." I continued as I covered her in the sheets, but she couldn't say a word.
"I give up." she murmured, while having her eyes full of tears.
"On what?" was the first thing that I could come up with.
"It hurts so much, so bad. I can't keep doing this." Ariana continued.
"Our time will come, babe. You don't have to put this much pressure on yourself." I told her as I tried to remove the hair from her face, as her tears kept going.
"I'm sorry I can't make this for us." she insisted, avoiding eye contact with me.
"My dear, just because we can't have it now, it doesn't mean we won't be having it never." I whispered to her, trying to let go of the nod in my neck.
"Or maybe I'm not meant to be a mother." she told me with a pain in her eyes I had never seen before.
"I never knew anyone more prepared to be a mother than you, don't say that." I said, holding her hand for a second before she would take it back.
"I tried and I tried, I hoped that maybe it only take some time, but it's always the same. Nothing happens. Absolutely nothing. I'm tired of having that false hope that maybe one day. I don't want it anymore. I'm done, mentally." she tried to explain.
