I didn't think I would ever feel again what people in love feel: the nervousness, the butterflies in my stomach, even stuttering. I didn't plan it, it just happened. What I would have liked is to have met Antonio before Estefania, but, well, he and she are very much in love. And I'm just an inexperienced teenager who still sleeps with a teddy bear and is even afraid of the dark.Love is about accepting yourself for who you are, I mean, how are you going to love someone else if you don't even love yourself? Sometimes I don't think I'm ready to love yet, that's why I haven't fallen in love yet, time is giving me time to prepare myself, to prepare myself for when it's my time, for when that person comes, for when I don't have that shame, that embarrassment that I always have when it comes to a guy. I am not ready yet and, I am thankful that the right guy has not arrived because then I will not be ashamed of myself.About three minutes ago Antonio and Estefania came out. They don't even m
I always thought that in my life interesting things didn't happen to me, I even wished for them, I wished for something really good to happen to me, something like in the movies, but this is real life, and believe me, I don't like it at all. I don't like knowing that I can be hurt and even abused.I was struggling with him, I was trying to remove his hands from my mouth, but it was impossible, it is obvious that he is stronger. Tears were flowing down my cheeks like a waterfall, I was moaning as hard as I could to be heard. I thought this was the end of me, but then this happened:一Hey, let her go!一. Antonio shouted.God, what a relief that he showed up.一Don't interfere一. my assailant shouted.一I said let her go一. His voice sounded authoritative, furious. The man, taking heed, threw me to the ground.I could breathe better. However, it wasn't over yet. The offender pulled out a knife, pointing it at Antonio. Oh. Oh, my. Oh, my God. I don't want him to get hurt. What do I do? Call the
As I grew up, my life became more and more complicated: the stage of adolescence, my first period, mood swings, feelings for a boy, dissatisfaction with your body. I went through many things, my first love was my worst mistake, I was devastated by him, but those are things that today I don't want to remember; I made several mistakes, yes, but that's what life is about and I don't want to live my whole life with fear, because otherwise, I won't enjoy my life; I will grow old and I won't have adventurous or crazy memories, I want to enjoy my youth, but in a healthy way, of course.In a few months I will enter university. I will go far away, I will only come for vacations and Christmas; I will leave this, my friends, my mom, Antonio, it will be good to get away from him, the change will be good, I hope so.At this moment, I go to Taísa's house, my best friend. She lives a little far from my house, but we are always in contact; she visits me, I visit her and so on. I'm walking too slowly,
I have never liked to give shows in the middle of the streets or in public. I have always been cautious about these things. But today, I don't know why I got carried away, correction, I don't know why I'm getting carried away. Jason kissed me and I'm following the kiss. He's not a bad kisser but, I don't feel anything. I would like to feel something, anything. Maybe yes, I'm doing this because, Antonio, he's right in front of us and it's possible he's watching us. What do I get out of it? make him jealous? show him I don't care? why? He hasn't shown me that he has any feelings for me, has he?We separated slowly. Now I feel bad, I'm giving him wings to keep bothering me and insisting. Now it's going to get much worse, he's going to move away from me.I looked at Antonio... Who is now looking at us, that look is.... I simply can't describe it, his jaw is clenched. Estefania, she is also looking at us.一Fabiana...I divert my gaze to Jason, he's still with his eyes closed, his face is g
In the course of the days, I have observed that Antonio is avoiding me. I can’t help but feel a void within me, pain, disappointment, hopelessness. When I feel like I like someone, I can’t be with that person. Love is very complicated. I hate love. 一 And then he told me we’re going camping...I’m with Taísa and Clarisa in my room. Let’s just say I’m not paying much attention to them. 一 Fabiana! 一. Taísa took me out of my trance. 一 Sorry, I didn’t hear you... What were you saying?She glared at me. Clarisa was smiling and looking at her phone. 一 I was telling you about how my boyfriend invited us to go camping.Go camping or something? 一 Where? 一. I frowned. 一 Somewhere in the mountains... can you imagine? It would be amazing. It sounds excited. Mountains? Will there be bears? Wolves? Oh, God. 一 Are there wild animals? 一. I hurried to ask. She shook her head. 一 I don’t think so. Clarisa stopped texting and joined us. 一 Who is Iran? 一. Clarisa asks. I looked at Taísa, who h
The next morning I woke up at about 6:30 am, packed my suitcase, packed everything I needed. My mom was in the kitchen having breakfast; yesterday I had to go wake her up to tell her about her trip, she just accepted and told me to take care of her.一What time will they pick you up?一. Ask. We were having breakfast. From the nerves, I wasn't even hungry.一At 8It was 7:30, each time my nervousness increases more and more. Antonio will go, he will go. I will have to act as natural as possible. Natural. As if I could. I shook my plate and put it in the sink. I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I took my bags down and sat on the sofa to wait.一I'm leaving, Fabiana. You call me as soon as you arrive, okay?I nodded. Mom left the house, leaving me alone and nervous. Why does this have to happen to me? what did I do? why Antony? because the? I would have preferred to fall in love with someone else, someone who was free, without commitments.A car horn outside my house makes my heart
6 hours later..."Oh my God, my butt hurts," Clarisa complains.We had arrived, we parked the truck in a store where the cabin was rented, Zac went down to get the key and buy a few things to eat. Jason fell asleep on my shoulder. I did not dare to see Antonio these last 6 hours, he went down with Zac.一Are you okay?一Tai asks me.一Yes, of courseHe faked a smile. I'm really not okay. I want to go home. My mom comes to mind, I have to call her, there's no signal to the cabin we're going to, it's better to do it here and now. I pull my phone out of my front pants pocket, punch in Mom's number, and put it to my ear. It doesn't take long to answer.一Say...一Mom, it's me, I'm talking to tell you that we're arriving, alive.一Thank God, how is it there? it's nice? Fabiana, ask if there are no wild animals... They have to be careful.I smile at the crazy things mom says.一Everything is very beautiful, it's a bit cold. I don't think there are any wild animals, and when I'm in the cabin I won't
Upon arriving at the cabin we all settled in. There was fog, it was very cold, we were surrounded by trees, there was a lake a kilometer from the cabin, there were even neighboring cabins, when we arrived, we observed that they were busy, there were several guys a little close to ours. Something was happening at night, it had no signal, we tried to put a movie but there was no handling. Until we opted to make a campfire outside, Zac was telling us his stories at work, how his relationship with Tai began and so on. A while ago, we just arrived, I saw that Antonio brought with him a guitar, could it be that he plays? I'm tempted to ask him but I dare not. We each have a beer in hand, it's a nice night. 一They are somewhat quiet一 Clarisa commented. She kept me company. 一I'm boring一murmuré. I had a drink of my beer. 一Did me, Zac's stories are terrible一susorró. That made me laugh a little bit. Come to think of it, Clarisa can ask Antonio if he plays guitar. 一Clarisa, do you know if
I stopped the car, without leaving, just watching Kyle. He was standing, without expressions on his face, but he didn't see me but Rich, he looked at him with a kind of hate. "Are they your bags?" Asked Rich, a little anxious. I know this because his hands began to rub each other in a desperate way. Also his leg went from top to bottom. "Your father wants you to go." "I suppose so," I answer, because the truth doesn't surprise me. Kyle had never been a good father, maybe I don't remember what happened years ago but I only know that he never fights enough for his family, he gives up the first one, he is so cowardly that I hate him for that and more things. I wish my sister was here, but instead I have to be with this man who is called my father. "It can't be," Rich murmured, still anxious. "You can't leave, v, tell him not to take you away." I looked at Rich, taking his hands to calm down a little. "Easy, you're having a kind of anxiety attack." I will not go anywhere. The corner of hi
"Rich, we should go back inside," I groaned in his ear. We were still in the stands of the training camp, we kissed and talked about things, but it had been a long time, maybe two hours and we had not entered to find out if there were classes or not. At that moment my cell phone started ringing on a call. I snorted and took it out of my bag. It was Kyle. "Who calls you?" He wanted to know, stroking my thighs. "It's Kyle," I replied. "I won't answer." "V, maybe he's worried." "Leave those things aside then." Rich took the cell phone and accepted the call but gave it to me, even though I signaled him not. I rolled my eyes and finally replied: "Hello?" "V, where are you?" I knew what happened to a teacher, I'm worried. "I'm fine, in college." I stressed Rich's hair. It smelled so good, I had become very accustomed to this smell. His eyes, his nose, his mouth. This man had me crazy, I felt that I fell in love more and more with every second that passed. Rich's way of seeing me, as if it w
Rich was at Fynn's house, doing what? Fynn, our teacher was dead and someone had shot him in the head. Rich watched me attentively, as if I was afraid that I would be scared. -How? "I wanted to know." "Well," he laughed a little nervous, "I wanted to do something good for you, I wanted to talk to Fynn and ask him to give you more time and not reprove you but it was useless, Fynn was a very strict teacher." I felt a little relief when he told me that, my mind was already betraying me with bad things, things that I know Rich wouldn't do. I smiled shyly and approached him to hug him, his smell invaded my nostrils. I liked feeling it so much, feeling his perfume, his hands around me. I realized that I was falling in love more and more about Rich, it was something I couldn't stop, it was something very strong and intense. I was scared, very afraid because my bad thoughts tortured me by telling me that Rich will one day get bored of me and leave me. "Thank you for wanting to help me," I mur
When I got home I felt so mired in my thoughts, in my pain and in my hatred that I didn't realize that I knocked on the door. That could have woken up Kyle perfectly, well, if he was asleep. Although I doubt it, considering that I took his car ... I climbed the stairs in a hurry and entered my room. Rich I couldn't believe he did this to me. "Venus, what's up?" "I heard Kyle on the other side." I lay down on the bed and crushed my face with the pillow. My tears came out involuntarily. Why the hell did I let Rich get into my life like that, to my heart? I felt that this link I had with him would be my downfall. "Venus, open the door." "Get out, Kyle!" Leave me alone. ”The last sentence was broken. What I least wanted was the pity of this man who had forgotten how to be my father. I didn't want to be here. I wanted to run away and never come back! I felt a lot of hate towards Lina, I felt a lot of contempt for Rich too. He lied to me, told me he was at home but I go and find him with he
When I entered home Dad was at the doorway with a glass of juice in his hand. "You're late," he told me. "I was doing things." "With Rich," he said, "Venus, you know I don't like you to go with him for a long time." Rich is not what it seems. I closed my eyes for a few seconds and tried to calm down, I didn't want to argue with Kyle today. I had spent a nice day with Rich so I didn't want to take away the feeling of tranquility in my system right now. "Not now, Kyle, I'm tired." "They called me from college, you didn't attend classes." Fynn also told me that you failed his subject. What is happening to you, Venus? When you just came here I was very understandable with you, I tried to understand you because yes, I made mistakes in the past but I was willing to remedy them. However, now seeing that you are going astray I cannot continue to be tolerant of what you do or say. I looked at him super surprised, it was the first time Kyle talked to me like that. His voice was hard. "Excuse me
Rich and I arrived at a kind of mountain. There were no trees here, just grass, a grass that seemed to have no end. I walked, feeling free. I just wanted to run, run while screaming in the rain. That, that was freedom for me. "Do you like it?" Rich asked me, he had a blanket in his hands. In the distance I looked at the lake, the one where we bathed once. Then I remembered that Rich had told me that this was his favorite place and I was flattered because he had brought me. Only me. "It's amazing," I said, "there is no one but us here." "That's right." Rich stretched out his cloth on the grass, helped him a little and then sat down. "Why did you bring me here, Rich?" I started to feel nervous, I looked at Rich, how handsome it was ... I felt a stab if he fell in love with someone else. Then I began to feel a little insecurity and sadness, I didn't want him to stop loving me because he loved me, right? Or that is what has made me understand all this time. "I told you I would bring you o
Upon arriving at the university we got out of the car, Rich took me by the hand, intertwining them. I felt a tingling with that gesture, without even asking for it. He looked safer than before now, looser. And I liked that. I felt that I was somehow helping him. "Will I see you at lunchtime?" "I worry as we walk towards the entrance." -Of course. Hasley appeared in my field of vision, I was half serious, maybe I was still half drunk yesterday. I don't know. The weather threatened to rain. "Hello, Hasley," I greeted her. "V, how are you today?" "He looked at us both." Hi, Rich. "You look unveiled," Rich says in a joke mode. I think it's the first time I see him wanting to start conversations with another person. And it's weird. "Yes, I couldn't sleep well last night for those drinks." Are we going to classes? "Hasley looks at me." -It's fine. Rich, I'll see you after a while, ”I smiled at him. I was going to go like this without more but Rich stopped me and gave me a warm kiss on the l
Rich when I slowly open the window of Venus's room, I sneak in to avoid waking her. He had told her that he would come - I really gave him that - since now more than ever he felt he needed to be very close to her. It was like a need to be there all the time, feeling it close to me. I close the window to prevent the cold blizzard from entering and waking it up. She is lying on the bed, she didn't even put on her pajamas this time. I was going to go to his bed to lie down next to him but a light stopped me. It came from his computer, he had left it on. I approached the table with the intention of turning it off but what was on the screen had caught my attention. What does Venus do seeing a picture of me and ... Leah? I tensed. There were almost three photos of Leah and I from many years ago, when we were dating. I brought a hand to my hair a little indignant. Venus maybe she is jealous of her so she had been acting weird. How do I let her know that she really matters to me? It is true t
"Rich, I'd like to talk to my daughter a little if it doesn't bother you," Kyle said. I rolled my eyes and looked at Rich, I didn't want him to leave. I really felt very good with Rich and somehow deep inside me I missed him a lot if he wasn't there. I was sticking to Rich ... and that wasn't good. "Okay, Mr. Maxwell," Rich looked at me, "I see you tomorrow," he looked at. It was a blink so fast that it was impossible for Kyle to see him. But I did understand. I would see it later. In my room Or so I expected. "Sure," I smiled half. Rich left the kitchen, then I heard the front door close so he was gone. "Well, tell me what you have to tell me," I crossed my arms. Kyle felt something tired. I had dark circles. His hair was disheveled and his beard grew. He didn't seem to care. Neglected That was the word. "Sit down," he said as he sat at the kitchen table. My instinct was not to sit down, but why start fighting right now? So I sat quietly, waiting for what Kyle had to say. God, I felt
