Goal Changer

Chapter 19 - Family Matters

Taylor had finally come home from Paris and Donna couldn't be more pleased to see her daughter.

The pair sat on the sofa of the guest house catching up, Taylor had come in just as the brunette was about to leave for work but instead she stayed to spend time with her.

"I still can't believe I hung out with Justin for 2 whole days.....It was amazing mum" squealed Taylor

Donna laughed, she loved to see her daughter so happy "I bet it was, so what did you do together?" She asked

"Oh just had dinner, watched movies and stuff" replied Taylor checking her phone

The brunette had a feeling Taylor was hiding something from her and she hadn't stopped texting since she came home.

"Who's that then" asked Donna pointing to Taylors phone

"No one, just a friend" she replied not bothering to look up from her phone.

"Excuse me, can I see my child please" stated the brunette

"Sorry mum" answered Taylor putting the phone away "oh I got you something from Paris" she added leaning forward into her bag.

Taylors top rode up as she bent over, Revealing her back and side. Donna noticed a mark on her skin just above the waistband on her side.

Reaching to pull back the material she saw the word believe tattooed down her daughters side in huge letters.

Gasping she shouted "What the hell is that?"

Taylor grabbed her Tshirt pulling it down "it's nothing" she said panicking
"That's not nothing" shouted Donna

"Mum I'm 18, it's my body. Can you just please leave it" screamed Taylor

Donna stood shocked, they had never screamed at each other like this. Something had changed between them. Her daughter seemed distant and she for sure thought she was hiding something.

Just then Taylors phone rang, looking at her mother she mumbled "I have to take this" before making to leave the room

Donna sighed as her phone beeped

Where are you

Cris

"I need to go to work but this conversation isn't finished" she shouted to Taylor.

.............................

Donna got into the office to see Cristiano sitting by the window.

"Your late" he said glaring at her

"Sorry, Taylor just got home I was catching up" she replied

"I don't pay you to catch up I pay you to be here whenever I need you.....For whatever I need you"

Donna looked at her boss as he glared back at her, she wondered why he was being like this to her.

"What's going on Cris, why the attitude?" She asked

Ronaldo stood up walking over to her "no attitude I'm just your boss remember, im just being a boss" he said before walking out.

The PA had planned to tell Cristiano about Ben and to see if he wanted to make them official but now he seemed to want nothing to do with her.

Donna got to work trying hard to put Cristiano out of her mind, she worried that maybe he wanted her gone. Was she going to lose her job, her home she wondered.

.....................

A few days had passed since Taylor had come home, the brunette had barely seen her daughter.

Taylor was either locked in her room or out partying with friends.

Donna was starting to worry especially since it was 2am and she couldn't get a hold of the teenager.

Donna lay on the sofa wondering what to do, it was unlike Taylor not to answer her phone.

Her mind started to race as she worried what could have happened to her daughter.

Getting up Donna decided to call Cristiano for help, he knew the city better than her he would know places she might be.

There was no answer, going to the window she could see his bedroom light on, the brunette decided to go to the main house.

Padding her way along the hallway Donna could see a dim light coming from the living room. Thinking that must be where Cristiano was she sped up.

Walking into the room she looked over to the couch, shocked at the sight the brunette gasped.

Cristiano was sat on the couch with some blonde naked woman straddling him.

Cris looked up seeing his assistant as she turned and ran out.

The footballer pushed the woman off him and got to his feet, running after Donna he could hear her cry.

Catching up with the PA by the pool he grabbed her arm to stop her.

Donna didn't bother to look at him.
"Let me go" she said tugging her arm from his grasp

"It's not what you think" he replied

"It's none of my business what it is" she retorted

"What's wrong......why are you crying" he asked

Donna wasn't about to tell the footballer the real reason she was upset, she didn't want to say that the thought of him with another woman made her feel sick, so instead she lied.

"I'm worried about Taylor, she's out and she's not answering my calls"

"I'll get my keys......don't worry we'll find her, she's safe" replied Cris attempting to pull the brunette to him to comfort her, he hated to see her so upset.

He was also worried about the teenager, she was new to Madrid and this wasn't like her.

Donna resisted his comfort, she didn't want to be near the portugese knowing what he had just been doing.

Just then Taylor appeared in the driveway, she was staggering trying to walk before collapsing to the ground.

Donna ran to her daughter as Cristiano followed behind.

Lifting her daughters head the brunette immediately smelled alcohol from the teenager. Taylor mumbled incoherently.

"She's drunk" sighed Donna

"Let's get her to bed" replied Cris as he lifted the blonde into his arms carrying her across the drive into the guest house.

Once inside Ronaldo lay Taylor on the bed "make sure she drinks plenty of water, and you might want to get a bucket"

"I can handle it from here" replied Donna nudging Cristiano out of the way.

Cris stood by the bedroom door for a minute watching his assistant care for her daughter. He loved how close the two were.

"You can get back to your hooker" she snapped

Cristiano laughed, why was she so bothered who he was with, she was with Ben now he wondered.

He turned to leave "if you need me just call" he added before walking out.

Donna spent the night lying next to her daughter,too afraid to leave her alone for fear she choked on her own vomit.

She was exhausted but daren't go to sleep till she knew the teenager was ok.
