Chapter 2 - Morte Dolorosa

"Mateo what happened!?" I asked while we were rushing to go to the school clinic.
" I don't know but she looked like her stomach hurt a lot but still managed to pull out a win," He said as I worriedly rush to my daughter.
" Nurse what happened is she okay??" I asked worriedly as she answered, " She is alright ma'am but I think the reason she fainted is that she didn't eat anything and she is exhausted from training all day." After the nurse said that Crystal woke up and said, "Mommy?" I hugged her and kissed her in her forehead "Why were you late?" she asked while pouting. " Darling your Grandpa held me up I'm sorry I didn't come earlier but I did see you win I'm so proud of my princess," I said as I hugged her and said "But why were you skipping your meals!? " I asked while breaking the hug. "Well I was upset that uncle said you won't come." she replied while I was confused because my brothers were not here they're in L. A.. " Darling what do you mean? Your uncle Cayson and Uncle Caeden is in L. A. we already talked about this right? " I said as I caressed her hair. " Not that Uncle" She answered hesitantly making me more confused. " Uncle. Daddy's Brother that uncle and he was also the one who carried me here." She replied nervously as if she knew that I would get mad, I looked at Mateo on the side and dragged him out of the room into the hallway. " Mateo! What were you thinking why would you let Crystal meet him!" I said with an angry tone." Well, he still has a right to get to know his niece after all he is still family." He replied with a hint of fear in his voice, but we all know never show me that you fear me when you are talking to me cause I'll know what to do to provoke you. " After what he did to us he's dead to me. " I replied sternly." Well, that's not a very nice thing to say to someone who is behind you." Someone said as I turned around slowly with my cold gaze. " What the h^ll are you doing here!?", " Well I'm just trying to visit my niece is there something wrong with that?" he said with a big smirk on his face I swear his face is so slappable." Well, don't be too harsh on me sissy, after all, I'm the one who holds all your secrets you wouldn't want your precious family to find out right?" He whispered in my ear while hugging me. then made his way to Mateo. " How are you brother?" he asked as he gave his brother a hug." I'm Fine Marcel, So how's life? " Mateo said." It's fine though I could have been better if I knew my niece." He said with a pitiful expression to trick his brother but the thing is Mateo is too smart for that." Well thank you for taking care for Crystal I'd like to chat more but we have to get going. " Mateo said as he whispered to me to wave goodbye to his brother so I gave him a fake smile and waved at him as he gave me a wide smile to annoy me. Ugh I just hate the guy!


Time Skip To Awards.

As I was going to my seat I suddenly thought of Joshua and yep I know it's wrong to cheat on my husband but I can't help it I love Joshua and I also love Mateo, he has always been there for me and I love him more than anything in this world and I would do anything and everything for him but not in that way I love him as my friend I think. And I love Joshua as my lover but the only problem is how am I gonna tell Mateo about this since they have a very deep relationship. And I don't want to ruin that but I don't really know if I want to be with Joshua. I'm confused so right now I'm just focusing on how to stop cheating on Mateo and telling him that I have been cheating. As I was thinking I saw a very familiar woman giving an envelope to the coach and the principal at first I didn't mind it but little did I know it will come bitting me and Crystal in our butts later.

" So what did I miss?" I asked my husband who was focused on the stage, while giving him his water I sit down beside him. " They're about to announce the MVP of the year and best team of the year. " Best team of the year is... Drumroll, please. Red Team leader please come up here to take your trophy." as Crystal takes the trophy and poses for pictures I see a man giving the Coach an announcement card. "And now for MVP of the year," he said making everyone look at him. " Drumroll, please... And the winner is Maya Watson from the yellow team!" after the winner was announced I and Mateo looked at each other in shock then looked at Crystal who was also shocked and leaving the stage front with her friends.

The MVP of the year is about to be announced and I am confident as we won almost all of the games. "And the winner is Maya Watson!" as the announcer said that all of my friends and teammates looked at me cause we all know that the Yellow team only won 1 games, the Blue team won 3, Green won 2, and us Red
won 5 games so it doesn't make sense to us. " Don't worry Franz I'm sure they just made a mistake let Auntie Handle it in the meantime let's just go to our classroom," Selena said and I just agreed. "Ugh come one Franz you're better than she and she barely won I'm pretty sure there is just an error. " Lisa assured me while we walked away being joined by the boys after a few minutes. " I totally don't believe that Maya would ever win. Franz has been winning this award for 2 years straight," Steffan said while making a funny face that made us all laugh while Grayson added. "Yeah I'm pretty sure it's just an error and if it's not I'm pretty sure her mother paid the principal for her to win and lastly Auntie will surely take care of this for you Franzie," he said while putting his arm around me. Making me blush.

I can't believe she lost, after the awarding I went straight to the principal's office." What do you want? " He asked me with a rude tone." Firstly I don't like your tone, Secondly, why do you not do anything fairly, and thirdly do you not know who I am?" I asked him while sitting in front of him and giving him an intimidating look. " No. Should I? " he said rolling his eyes and not paying attention to me. Then I grabbed his face with my right hand making him look at me. I gave shot him death glares while my eyes turned from light hazelnut brown to a dark black color. " Do you know Morte Dolorosa?" I asked him with a smirk and showed him my tattoo, He breathes heavily before answering " Miss Lomradi I apologize for not recognizing you so sooner" he said as he bowed to me.
