The lost triplets

chapter 29

So I feel like the story isn't moving really so I'm going to skip a week

In that week nothing really happened

Triplets went to school came home spent time together did their homework and getting used to having a family.

Alex made the soccer team...I might accidentally refer to it as football occasionally but just know I mean soccer.

Marco is still awful to the triplets but isn't as bad

Lorenzo dealt with the people responsible for the attack. He spends his time between his own apartment and the family home.

"Dont be nervous you got this" James reassured Alex.

"What if I make a mistake. What if I'm not good enough. What if they take it out on you" Alex was panicking.

He had made the school team and today was a friendly came between another school. Alex was terrified of messing up in case he dissapointed his brothers and father and they took that disappointment out on Skye and James. He didn't care if he disappointed Marco but he did care if he angered him. He wouldn't let his siblings get hurt.

"It's okay Alex we are going to be watching and cheering you on" Skye said.

Rafael was even more estatic than Alex when he heard he made the team. He promised to be at all the games if he was in the country. And he definitely wasn't going to miss his sons game.

Marco had to be there as he was helping the coach manage the first year team.

And of course Nico, Leo and Lorenzo weren't going to miss it either.

"Stay together okay" Alex said pulling both of them into a hug. He was about to leave them alone with his entire family. Thankfully Marco was down on the sideline with the coach.

Lorenzo saw Alex was struggling to leave them so he approached the three children "I've got them Alex, now go play, whatever the outcome I'm proud" he said now knowing his attachment was due to abuse.

Alex nodded knowing Lorenzo knew "don't hurt them" he whispered.

"I would never, none of us would" Lorenzo said and pulled his brother into a quick hug before releasing him and pushing him slightly in a playful manner "go on"

Alex reluctantly headed to the field.

Lorenzo turned to Skye and James "let's go back to our seats" he said. He made them walk in front keeping his eyes trained on them at all times.
Rafael smiled at his two youngest "I'm sure Alex will do great. The coach tells me he is a natural, don't look so worried" he said.

The game itself for Alex was dreadful he kept looking up at the stand to make sure his siblings were okay, it had pissed Marco off so at half time he pulled Alex to the side "focus on the game or I'll remove you from the team" he warned. Alex did not want them to take their dissapointment out on Skye and James so he nodded "Skye and James will see how much of a failure you are when I kick you off the team " Marco continued.

Alex already worried about them seeing him as a bad person so that really hurt.

The second half Alex was determined to prove himself and managed to score 3 goals. He didn't look up at his siblings much. He focused on the game.

He was good, he was a fast runner and the other team struggled to keep up.

By the end of the game the score was 5-3 to their school.

The visiting school had lost.

The coach congratulated the team especially Alex and they were sent to the locker rooms. Thankfully they had pribate locker stalls to change too because Alex would dare change and let them see his scars.
