mistaken

Jorge turned around in a quicker move than his body could possibly do. He saw her bright brown eyes staring right into his. "M-Martina" He brought out, staring at her in disbelief.

She threw herself in his arms and held tight onto his muscled body. He hesitated before embracing the tiny person warmly. "I missed you" She blurted out in his neck. Tears fell from her pricking eyes.

He couldn't help but smile while holding her in his arms. It felt so surreal what was happening. 

He held the small person in his big arms, not letting go anytime soon. She cried into his neck, it was a mixture of feelings.

"I missed you too babygirl" He whispered into her ear. She felt her body getting weak again.

After ten minutes they both slowly backed off from the hug. "How did you know I was here?" She asked him, her eyes showed a confused look.

"Our honeymoon, remember?" He laughed slightly while he spoke the words. She gave him a soft, warm smile. The moment felt happy, like this was supposed to happen.

"I think we have lots to talk about Martu" He sighed out on which she nodded and let out a sigh as well.

"I think we do" She finalized before taking his hand and leading him back to the wooden bench. 

They sat down, Martina leaned her head on his shoulder. Jorge looked at the girl next to her with sad eyes.

"Why did you run away like that?" He suddenly asked, breaking the tensed silence. 

"I ehm.. " Martina didn't know what if she should answer honestly or lie, she knew both weren't right.

Jorge moved his head slightly foreward in a sign that he was waiting for an answer. "Do you want to go to the hotel first, then you can explain" Jorge tried to make another way of letting her tell. She nodded while her mind was elsewhere, thinking about what to say.

The problem was that if she'd tell him, he would think she was being selfish, which she actually was and she knew that now. But she was scared he would get mad and run away.

"Your hotel or mine?"Jorge snapped Martina out of her thoughts and made her look up at him.

"Mine" She said, knowing he was going to be amazed by the hotel she was staying in. He laced their fingers, shooting a feeling of shivers through her body.

After a long walk they arrived at the beautiful hotel. Jorge's eyes widened when Martina set foot inside the luxurious building. She let out a small giggle and pulled the brown haired boy with her.

She brought him to her room and they sat down on her bed. Jorge's eyes were still scrolling around the room around him, admiring it deeply. "How.. did you afford this?" He said while his big hand was still intertwined with Martina's.

"I just wanted to accomplish at least a part of my dream" She whispered and blushed while looking down in guilt. 

"It's gorgeous" He said and turned to the girl next to him. He lifted up her down-looking head and he smiled at her. "Now tell me why you ran away, everyone is worried sick" Jorge stated, his voice had a mixture of angry and nice.

That was the moment Martina bursted out in tears. Tears fell from her eyes while she took a tight grip onto Jorge's body. Jorge immediately reacted by holding the crying person in his arms and stroking her soft brown hairs.

"Shh, calm down, you can trust me" He whispered while placing her head on his chest. 

"I-I kn-ow.. b-but " She started, crying endlessly between every word that escaped her mouth. Jorge carefully brushed Martina's hair with his fingers.

"What is it? Just tell me why you left" Jorge said on a kind tone. It wasn't annoying or mad, it was sweet.

"I-I cou-ldn't a-ny-more" She hicked out. His eyes showed a look of confusion and worry. "I-I had t-too ma-ny choi-ces to t-take" She added while slowly sitting up straight against his arm again. She took a deep breath and started talking normal.

"I felt like I dissapointed everyone and like no one liked me anymore. I missed you and I did everything to convince you to move to Italy even though I knew that that would hurt you" Martina cried out. Jorge took a sigh and held her body close to him. 

"Olivia grew up so quickly and after she met you so much questions kept coming, I didn't know how to tell her. When mom left me for dad and Fran I was so lost and couldn't handle raising Olivia alone. How older she gets, how more she needs and asks. That's when I decided to go" She explained before pulling herself in his body again.

She held tight onto his back while crying. Jorge first sighed but he understood Martina. She was lost and she didn't know how to react on the situation she was in. 

"It's okay mi amor" He said, his eyes looked over her body. He slowly pushed her off his chest adn made her sit in front of him. He lifted her face by her chin and held her face while staring deep into her teary eyes.

"I'm selfish and stupid and worthless" She spoke out as Jorge shook his head. 

"Stop it Martu, you're not selfish nor stupid nor worthless. You're just confused and this stuff is all in your head" He said on a calming tone. His eyes were fully concentrated on hers and vice versa.

"We should get to Buenos Aires, everyone is worried about you. Olivia has been crying for you so long and she is so confused, she deserves a better childhood" Martina nodded at Jorge's words, realizing all the hurt and trouble she caused.

"You're not selfish Martu, believe me" Jorge talked into her when he saw she was still sad with herself.

Before they knew it they were in the airplane back to Argentina. Martina had immediately zoned off on Jorge's shoulder. His hand was holding hers tightly.

"I found you" He whispered before leaning his head on hers.
