That summer had changed everything between us. It felt like it happened yesterday but it's been years and the pain is still fucking raw.
Her smile still haunted me in my dreams even if I didn't want to admit my thoughts always drifted to her and a part of me missed her.
I placed the cigarette between my lips and inhaled the smoke. The darkness inside me roared with excitement. It loved being fed hate,anger,regret, it just craved nasty emotions.
She had left a big scar on my heart. I don't even know why I allowed her inside in the first place. But it's been years and all I feel for her is hatred.
She created a monster and left it untamed. My favourite song played in the background as I recalled the last memories of Chelsea.
Cold and broken down
It’s all I knew
I let it corner me in
And hide where my tracks lead
Now I’m waking up
And all I do

I hope you like it."She smiled." Well it's not that bad," she said quietly.While shrugs carelessly.I stared at the dark sky. It was getting very late. I'm sure Chelsea's parents must be getting worried."It's getting maybe I should escort you home."She nodded quietly and said nothing.Before she could walk away I held her by the wrist stopping her."Wait."She gave me a puzzled look."Yeah?I sighed deeply t

CHELSEA'S POVWhen Marcus had pulled me closer my heart started pounding in my chest I felt like I was going to explode. He cupped one of my cheeks gently when he leaned closer I closed my eyes shut.I knew he was going to do it.Marcus was going to kiss me.When I felt his lips on mine butterflies in my tummy began dancing in the pit of my stomach.I felt sparks. His grip around my waist got tighter as he urged me to kiss him back. I calmed myself down and kissed him back with everything I had in me.I can't believe that I'm having my first kiss with Marcus. He pulled back with a shaky exhale and the warm feeling inside me craved more of his touch.I frowned at him."Marcus….why did you stop?" I muttered coolly while pouting my lips.He chuckled lightly and traced his thumb over my bottom lip."Trust me Chelsea I d

MARCUS'S POVIt's been two months now I still haven't heard from Chelsea. When I usually tried to call her phone was usually off and it was actually strange.I kept pacing around the room trying to call her but it went straight voicemail.What was going on?This wasn't like her. I took deep breaths trying to calm down myself but the darkness inside me was on the verge of exploding.Maybe I should ask her parent's.No. I quickly went against it. This was so pathetic I'll just send her voicemail and ask her to call me back.She was my girlfriend not my wife. I didn't want to scare her away but I was so worried. I needed to hear her voice just once.I slumped on the bed and after a minute a sly smirk covered my lips.Her room.I knew that Chelsea was miles away from me but her clothes were still next door. T

CHELSEA'S PERSPECTIVEOver the years I just saw in him the shadows until I finally saw things. I closed that sad chapter of my life.I let go of Marcus and focused on getting better and finally fixing my broken life. Letting him go was a total nightmare I cried until all my tears finally dried up.I felt like a living but one day I just snapped out of depression and focused on my future.I grew up.I worked out more often and took a lot of therapy.

MARCUS'S POVAfter interviewing almost ten candidates none of them had impressed me.They were all useless.I kept tapping on my wooden desk impatiently.I closed my eyes and counted one to ten. Doctor Alan always said that it would help me relax whenever I was stressed and frustrated.I opened my eyes and took a deep breath."Relax Marcus."I had to put on my mask and bury all the emotions I felt. Because it was a sign of weakness and I couldn't let them bring me to my knees.Like some weakling.Over the past years I stopped communicating with my father a few days ago. Minnie had called me that he was on his deathbed.He wanted to see me.But I wanted nothing to do with him because he had rejected me.

KELSEY POVI was really glad to have such good friends like Jane and Sasha. Once we arrived at the wedding venue they all made sure to stay by my side.I looked at the entrance wishing that it was getting married to Marcus and not that witch Tara. Maybe Marcus is blinded by her money if that's the case then I'm very disappointed in him."Are you going to be ok?" Jane asked curiously.I nodded quietly."Yeah I want to do this Jane it's time I also move on and try to forget about Marcus."Jane gave me a small smile and nodded.I was really tired of getting asked the same question over and over again my answer also didn't change.

I hate it when people are late especially on my big day."Miss Tara don't be upset I'm sure your mother will be here soon" my makeup artist Julie muttered coolly.I rolled my eyes at her while she applied pink blush on both of my cheeks.I looked very pretty."Julie you don't even know how my mom acts with me gosh she treats me like I'm not her daughter or something."I scoffed in annoyance."

I wish things were different between us so that we would start over but I could see that it was already too late for us because Marcus was officially going to be someone's husband tomorrow.I stared at him with wide eyes, tears still rolling down my cheeks and surprisingly he wiped them away."Marcus you've destroyed everything between us and I don't know if I'll ever trust you again" she whispers softly.He nodded quietly.I know he has confessed his true feelings to me but still wasn't enough to fix everything between us."It's not enough…" I whispered softly."I know Kelsey" he rasped quietly as he stroked both of my cheeks gently.

He pleaded.Anger flashed in my eyes but I nodded anyway.I've loved Marcus since childhood and I want him in my life more than ever but the different circumstances keep getting in the way, always stopping us from reuniting.

I took her advice for granted and now she walked out of my life because I can't handle my shit. The mere thought of her broke my heart and I just wanted to cry all day.Jane would occasionally come to check up on me but I kept assuring her that I was fine."Are you sure that you're doing fine? Jane asked in a worried tone.I gave her a small smile." Yes fine.""

KELSEY POVI sat on the sofa and stuffed my face with oreo ice cream. Jane and Sasha kept exchanging weird looks. I was watching a soup opera. It was very cliche but I enjoyed watching it. Besides it was interesting and it kept me entertained."Kelsey you know that you can't go on like this you need to tell Marcus before it's late..." Sasha begs.I stopped eating and stared at her in disbelief before I could reply. Jane interrupted me."Yes Kelsey Sasha is right I mean look at you it's been weeks now and nothing has changed. You're stressing yourself and this is not good for the baby" Jane mutters quitely.I was capable of taking care of my own child alone. I didn't need Marcus or his support."I think I'm handling everything alright without Marcus involved. I don't need him and he has no right to be involved in my life. He doesn't even kn

KELSEY POVI was really bad at love and it reminds me of that song bad at love by halsey. It feels like the song is all about me.I just felt like drowning in my own sorrows and being lost. Lost at sea to finally find where I belong. Maybe I had a future but Marcus wasn't going to be a part of it and that was the most painful part of all.I could picture a new house and soft giggles being heard outside. I would be in the doorway watching my baby girl play. She would be adventurous just like me she would love to explore just like dora the explorer.Hmmm. The mere thought just made my heart swell with joy. But I felt guilty consuming me again. Would my baby hate me because I never had the guts to tell her father the truth about her actual existence?I feel like I'm keeping her father away from her and once she's older she'll eventually find out the bitter truth and hate me.The mere thought left me in ruin
