prologue. 

"what do you want? i'm driving and you're distracting me." came her voice full of annoyance just after three rings. mats was relieved to hear her voice despite the fact that she was mad at him. he thought she wouldn't answer and then he would be worried about her all night.

at his house, the music was turned down now. the guests chattered with concern after seeing the girlfriend of mats hummels storm off after an argument. his friends were there, along with their girlfriends or wives and the looks they shot him were ones of  astonishment. they had never seen mats and pia get into an argument before, much less during the holidays. mats ran a hand through his dark hair in frustration. he was standing in the corner of the room, speaking rather quietly into the mouth piece of the phone. "come back home, pia." he swallowed his pride as he pleaded with her.

"for what? so you can ignore me like you always do?" she spat, her voice shaking. he immediately caught the hurt in her voice. 

"no. just come home and we'll talk. please. everyone's worried and they're going to think-" he started.

but she cut him off in an instant. "that's the problem with us, mats! you always care more about the opinion of others and you never even take me into consideration when you make decisions the two of us should be making together!" a strangled sob escaped her lips when she couldn't hold back anymore.

"come home before you have an accident." mats pleaded once again.

"you'd like that, wouldn't you? i bet-" she accused, but she never finished her sentence because mats heard a horrible sound of metal twisting, glass shattering, and tires screeching against the road. it was all so fast and before he knew it, the line went dead.

EDIT Dec 16th 2015: like i said, im reposting this ^.^

here is the prologue of the story for you guys.

thank you so much for reading and voting!

and happy december 12th to all my mexican readers. as you may know, today is the day in which we celebrate the day when the virgin mary, our lady of guadalupe, appeared before juan diego, an indigenous man of mexico. it was during the time when spain owned the latinamerican territories. and basically the virgin mary told juan diego to inform the spanish that she wanted a church built in her honor in the mountains.

so the spanish didn't believe him. and basically long story short, she appeared on his poncho thing because they wanted proof that the virgin would actually speak to a poor indigenous man. and to this day, juan diego's poncho with the virgin mary's image is at the basilica de guadalupe in mexico city. and this happened on december 12th.

every year mexicans celebrate it as though it were her birthday. and on december 11th, right before midnight we gather at the church. i went with my mum and sisters. we have gone almost all years since i was a child. some parents dress their boys like juan diego and the girls with traditional mexican dress.

basically its such a lovely tradition and i'm so happy to do this with my family. all of these traditions are what make me who i am. 

anyway, have a great 12th of december! and feliz dia de la virgen de guadalupe a mis hermanos mexicanos. 

i love you.
