Talia's Pov

"Guys come on, don't be like that!" I whined from between the two boys as they continued to ignore my presence. 

 I was in the airplane with the rest of the Real Madrid squad on our way to Barcelona, and my seat happened to be the one in the middle of both Isco Alarcon and Marco Asensio. 

Isco, Marco, and I had a bond like no other. While I considered the whole team as my brothers, these two were my ultimate best friends, I even told them things that I would never tell Gaby and Wes. 

They just found out about Neymar, because Marco couldn't keep his eyes to himself and had to look at my phone's screen while I was texting him, and they refuse to talk to me. 

"I have my reasons! You know that I tell you both everything!" 

"Yeah, well we thought you did!" Isco retorted making me frown, "specially if its something as big as that!" Marco continued. 

"I'm sorry guys, I trust you both with my whole life, but I'm just being extra cautious because of Sergio!" I explained, "if he finds out, then I'm screwed!" 

"Does anyone else know?" Isco asked after a few seconds of silence, "um, Marcelo, and James do," I bit my lip nervously as soon as they both scoffed, "but in my defense, they were the ones who found it! I mean I did tell James, but only because I had to!"

"Marcelo saw us together, so I had to explain everything to him!" I continued glancing back and forth between them both, "you two are the only ones I told willingly!" 

"But why did you choose to tell us now?" Marco questioned with raised eyebrows, "because I wanted to be sure that it was serious," I explained. 

I watched as they both nodded, "you know what? I'm happy for you, although he's a rival and I hate to admit it, but he's actually pretty cool!" Isco smiled at me before he pulled me into a hug making me sigh in relief, "thank God! I was so scared that I wouldn't get your approval! You both have no idea how much you mean to me!" I told them as soon as I pulled away from the hug. 

I looked at Marco waiting for a reaction, but all I received was a frown before he looked outside from the window. "Marco?" I bit my lip feeling nervous all over again, "what?" he answered without even sparing me a glance. What the hell? Why was he acting like that?!

I turned towards Isco with a questioning glance, but only received a shrug in return. "Uh, are you okay?" Marco looked at me while raising one of his eyebrows, "yeah, why wouldn't I be?" 

"Um, I don't know," I shrugged, "you're kind of acting strange!" 

"How am I acting strange?" 

"I mean, whenever I tell you something you always tell me what you think about the whole issue and you always give me advice!"

"What do you want me to say? I mean do you want me to clap for you? Maybe we can go out and celebrate once we land in Barcelona! You know what would be so cute? You going out on a double date with Sergio and his girlfriend! Oh wait! I forgot that he doesn't know that you're dating one of his rivals, sorry my bad!" He snapped before he got up from his seat and walked away from Isco and I.

I looked at Isco with tears in my eyes, as I bit my lip. Isco sighed and pulled me into a hug, while I let the tears fall from my eyes. Marco would rarely get mad at me, but when he did it was horrible. He could ignore me for days if he wanted.

"He'll come around," Isco whispered into my ear, as I continued to cry onto his chest, "he's just mad that you haven't told us from the start," he continued to rub his hand on my back in a comforting way. 

"That's not it!" I exclaimed with a frown on my face, "he can't be that mad because of that reason!" I sniffled while pulling away from Isco, and rubbing my hand over my face in an attempt to get rid of the tears on my face.

"I told you both that the only reason I took so long to tell you, was because I wanted to be a 100 percent sure Neymar and I aren't just fooling around!" 

Isco sighed and shook his head, "you know what? Fine. I think you know the exact reason as to why Marco blew up! It has nothing to do with how much time you took to tell us about you and Neymar, and it has nothing to do with you keeping it all away from Sese!" 

I opened my mouth in an attempt to say something, but there wasn't much that I could say. Isco was right, and I'd be playing dumb if I though otherwise. I knew the exact reason as to why Marco was mad, but I was too much of a chicken to convince myself that, that was the actual reason. 

You see, Marco Asensio and I go way back. When Marco first joined the team, we've instantly gotten along, since he was only 2 years older than me. We would constantly speak, text, and hang out. We were inseparable best friends. Until I fell in love. With him. 

I continued to act normal around him, because I didn't want to ruin anything between us. However, one night, we were hanging out in his house and we were cuddling while watching a movie, we were very touchy best friends, and he kissed me. 

It felt amazing. It couldn't even be described, it was even better than what my imagined-first-kiss was! We started dating, from behind Sergio that is, and everything was going great. 

After dating for 6 months, Marco decided that it was enough and that we had to tell Sergio, and no matter how much I loved Marco, I didn't have the guts to tell Sergio. I loved Marco, maybe even more than I loved Neymar, and I was heart broken when he broke up with me because I refused to tell Sese. 

But I knew Sergio, and I knew that if he found out then Marco and I would never see each other again, because he has his harsh ways. 

Marco and I stopped talking for 3 months, but then I couldn't take it anymore. So I texted him, and told him that I needed him in my life, even if it was only as a friend. 

A year and a half later, brings us to this moment. 

I know that no matter what, my feelings for Marco will remain strong. However, we both needed to move on. 

And although I was with Neymar now, I know that I will always have feelings for Marco, he was my first everything after all. My first love, my first kiss, and my first boyfriend. 

"Well let me remind you Isco, that he broke up with me!" 

"I know love, but you know why he did that! He didn't want your relationship to stay a secret, all he wanted was to show you off!" 

"And you think I didn't want that?! I dreamed of that Isco! But Sergio is so overprotective, you both have no idea! If Marco was to tell Sergio about him and I, then we would have never seen each other ever again! Sergio has his ways Isco, and you know that!" 

"I know, and Marco understands that now! I know its hard on you both, but its for the best that you both stay friends, and nothing more!" 

"Yeah, its for the best," I sighed while shaking my head, "I just hope Marco comes around." 

"He will."
