Chapter 20 - DONE!

Vanessa spent almost an hour in the toilet.

Nessa....What did i eat? Shit! The water i just drunk, that girl earlier said it was from a fan.Could it be...Mark's doing? Am such a loser yet the screening has already begun, this was my only chance to step forward, why are things suddenly worse for me?

The coaches had already started choosing players to take, but Vanessa was still in the washroom.

Man....Excuse me coach, where is the girl? I wanted to see her so bad playing soccer because she and that captain of yours were the talk in Brooklyn after the match they had there.

Coach....I was also looking for her, let me ask Mark, he surely knows where she is.

He called Mark and asked him.

Mark....She is not here? But...i talked to her earlier.

Coach....Now where the heck is she? I wanted these people to select her, she has talent and this is her dream.

Mark....(Could it be because i asked her to break up? But i didnt...mean to scare her away).

Coach....Since your done, help me look for her.

Mark....Okay coach.

Vanessa was crying in the toilet, she heard Mark calling her name, she went silence until Mark left.The selecting for players who were to train in Madrid ended with her in the toilet.Mark and Aaron were selected and other two players, everyone after left.

Vanessa left the toilet with her eyes red and swollen, she got her bag and walked slowly, she went to a lake and sat in the sand.Mark went to her house.

Mark....Shit! I hate coming to this house, hope this crazy lawyer is not there.

He knocked on the door, Sam was back from the hospital, he opened the door and was suprised to see Mark.

Sam....Mark? How long has it been?

Mark...Hope your doing well sir, am here to see Vanessa, is she home?

Sam....No, she left in the morning but didnt come back.How about you enter for a cup of tea?

Mark....Thanks but am not here to talk about Peyton, goodnight.

He looked for her everywhere he expected her to be but didnt find her, he even texted and called mulitple but she didnt respond.Vanessa laid down in the sand looked at the moon but tears were still flowing from her eyes.

Nessa....I never believed that just in a single day, one could lose everything theyve worked had to get for years, now here iam experiencing the worst.Martha said that am her dead daughter's replacement, the only person i confide in just dumped me, and i failed to audition for the Madrid soccer team, my long long long dream.Hahahahahaha....Is this what being screwed up means?

Mark was not at ease.

Mark....She is so stupid and guillable, why did she let my words affect her? Going to Madrid or Brazil for soccer has always been her dream, she chose to give up on the final day? I thought she was strong emotionally....fuck!

He made a call.

Mark....I want you to send me location of this phone number, make it quick.

Vanessa stood up and went in the water, she sat in it, Mark arrived and pulled her out, she pushed him away.

Mark....Are you crazy? Are trying to drown? Do you wanna die?

Nessa....Why do you care? Just please dont because we are practically strangers.

Mark....I didnt say that i care, but...youve been here this whole time yet everyone was looking for you? Whats your problem?

Nessa....My problem? Looks like you were very concerned about my whereabouts, happy now that am a fucking mess? Come on, dont hide your expressions, show me how happy you are.

Mark....Am not here to laugh...anyway, it was a wrong idea coming to you.

Nessa...Yeah, right! Am also regretting alot of things too, your not the only one with regrets here.Did you have fun playing with my clueless heart? Because i reminded you of Peyton?

Mark....What...what the fuck?

Nessa....What the fuck you ask? Here is whats fucked up Mark, i know the truth, i was so dumb folded not to figure out that you were still stuck on that Peyton.

Mark....What shit are you saying? You dont even know her or what happened between us.

Nessa....And i dont wanna know, indeed, the truth hurts and i've tasted the bitter one.I really...loved you Mark, but in your eyes, i was someone else, a replacement! I cant believe that everyone sees me like that...i hate you all.

Mark....Fine! Am done! Am so FUCKING done!

Nessa....Am also done, go to hell asshole!

She picked up her bag and pushed him away again in anger while crying and left, leaving Mark in tears too, he didnt leave, he sat in the sand too with his broken heart.

Vanessa went home crying, Sam was there watching tv as usual.

Sam....Bad day, huh?

Nessa....When did you come back dad? Can i have a hug?

Sam....Oh dear, come here please.

She went and hugged him as he comforted her.Mark was sorrounded by cars, bodyguards came out with guns, they were with Hanna, she rushed to him.

Hanna....Oh boy! Your dad and i were worried about you.Why are you here alone? Its almost 4am, you shouldve called me because i was worried to death.

Mark....Mum...mum, its over!

Hanna....Dont cry baby, come here honey.

She hugged him, they went home, he laid down in Hanna's bed together with her, he patted his back and kissed his forehead because she loved him more than her life.

Hanna....Are you ready to talk now?
