Goal Changer

Chapter 40 - Gone

Donna had been working for Jorge for almost 2 months now and everywhere she went she was reminded of Cristiano, his name was mentioned constantly and it pained her heart every time.

The brunette still hadn't gotten over the footballer. She thought about him night and day, wondered how he was, who he was with and it was driving her crazy.

Lying on the bed with Taylor, the pair stared up at the ceiling "I'm going to miss this" said the blonde

"I know me too" replied Donna

"We won't even be living in the same country never mind the same house" stated Taylor

"Your getting older you have to live your life, even if that means being apart from me, you have to do what's right for you" explained the brunette

"You should live yours too" replied Taylor

Donna sat up facing her daughter "I have to go so I can live my life, if I stay here I'll never get over him, this is his city.......and he's everywhere, everything reminds me of him it's too hard" she said as tears streamed down her face

Taylor sat up pulling her mum into a hug, "it's going to be ok,your doing the right thing. If you feel you need to go back to Glasgow to heal I understand"

The brunette hugged her daughter tighter, she was going to miss her so much. Taylor had decided to stay in Madrid for now to finish her studies but Donna needed to go home.

The flight was booked for later that evening. The pair got off the bed and collected the suitcases, making their way outside they loaded them into the car.

"This is it then, are you sure you want to go?" Asked Taylor

Donna nodded "I need to"

Taylor hugged her mother one last time as both of them cried "I'll call you as soon as I land, please be safe" said Donna

The brunette looked at her daughter once more, taking in her face, before getting into the taxi.

The car pulled away from the kerb as Donna watched her child, they both waved until they were out of sight.

Tears ran down her face at the thought of not being able to see Taylor everyday but she had to let the blonde live her life even if it meant being apart from her.

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

Cristiano had refused to speak to his agent since he had confessed to hiding Donna from him but he couldn't take it anymore.

It was 8 weeks since the brunette had left him and his heart was still breaking, he needed to see her, he needed to know if there was a way they could be together.

Charging into Jorge's office Cristiano stood in front of his desk "where is she, is she working today I need to see her" he demanded

Jorge looked on in shock, he hadn't expected Cristiano to ever speak to him again

"Well answer me" he shouted

"She's not here, she doesn't work for me anymore" replied Jorge

"Well where is she, what happened?" He asked

"Please sit down Cris" pleaded the agent

"No I don't want to sit I want to see Donna and you know where she is. Are you going to help me or not?" replied the footballer

Jorge sighed, he had promised not to tell Cristiano where the brunette was staying but he could see how desperate the portugese was and he didn't want to hurt him anymore

"She quit about a week ago and I haven't seen her since. But if you really can't get over her then I'll give you the address" explained Jorge

"She's my life I can't get over her" replied Cris

Looking at the footballer Jorge knew how much he loved Donna and maybe they could work it out. Convincing himself he was doing the right thing, the agent handed over a piece of paper.

"It's her address, now go get her" he said as Cristiano took the paper and headed out of the room.

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

Taking a deep breath Cristiano knocked on the door of the apartment.

A few seconds later Taylor opened the door looking shocked to see Cristiano standing on the step

"I need to see your mum, is she here?" He asked

Taylor shook her head "She's not home"

"Please can I just come in I need to talk to her" he begged

Taylor opened the door wider allowing the footballer to come inside
Taking a seat on the sofa he turned to the blonde "I know your protecting your mum but believe me you don't have to, I won't hurt her" he said

"You already did" replied Taylor taking a seat opposite the footballer

Cristiano looked confused "she left me"

"She had no choice" replied Taylor "I know what happened we talked about it......you wanted her to have a baby and she just can't do that so you didn't want her anymore" she added

Cristiano shook his head "That's not true, I wanted her so bad I still do, she's my world is it so bad I would want her to have my child"

"But she can't give you children" said Taylor trying desperately to protect her mother

"I don't understand, why can't she have my baby?" He asked confused to what was going on

"My mum can't have anymore children, she nearly died giving birth to me. She developed huge hematomas and was in a coma for the first 3 days of my life. It's too dangerous for her to have anymore" explained the blonde

Cristiano sat back in shock at what he was hearing, realising they had never discussed having children properly. He didn't blame the brunette for refusing to have a baby, he would never want her to risk her life for him.

"Where is she, I need to speak to her?" He asked

"She's gone" answered Taylor

"Gone where?" Asked the footballer

"She's gone home to Glasgow, she's at the airport now" replied the blonde

Cristiano jumped up, he couldn't let her go, he had to stop the brunette from leaving his life for good.

"What are you going to do?" Asked Taylor as she watched the footballer

"I don't know but I have to do something, I can't let her go" he replied running out of the apartment

Taylor ran after Cristiano "I'm coming with you" she shouted as she climbed into the footballers car.

A few seconds later the car was racing through the traffic as Cristiano gripped the steering wheel. His heart raced at the thought of missing the brunette, he had to make her see how much he loved her, how much he needed her in his life.
