Chapter 17: "First Kiss"
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Kristina Valdez POV
After a few more minutes, I went back home and did a little more light reading, well that's if you actually consider reading 4 books light reading. I usually go out late at night because it's been a force of habit to walk around Angelo's house.
When I was younger, I would always go out late at night and wake up way early because I was waiting when Angelo would come back home. I remembered how I would always say that I want to be teh first person Angelo saw here. I was afraid he'd forget my face if he left too long so I wanted to be the first one he saw.
I would do that everyday without fail.
Until the day he shows up finally but it didn't matter if I was the first face he saw. His eyes were then set to look at her.
After all, I'm just the first friend, his childhood friend. She's the girlfriend.

I'm sorry for being selfish until the end, Kristina.But that line... it bothered me. What Kristina had said earlier, "I'll be your shield so don't worry too much, you're not alone. You never were."It's what the girl from my childhood would always say. It's the first thing she said when we met at that old abandoned house. I ran away from home. I remembered. How did she know those exact words and Abby never once told me that after all these years?It's the exact lines. The exact reason. Her whole family says it.Just before I go to Kristina, Ashley grabbed my hand and dragged me far away from the venue, she was furious. I guess she figured it all out. I asked even though I think I k

Kevin Langdon POVAs soon as I saw Kristina that happy on the dance floor, it broke my heart, it just kept reminding me just how much Angelo has me beat. Abby went to the bathroom, she must've felt the same way as I did so I followed her. She locked the door and I waited for her outside the girl's bathroom.I heard her sniffling. Abby's obviously just leaning by the bathroom door. I knocked and said, "You okay?"Abby immediately went outside and denied, "I just needed to freshen up."I gave her a tissue and said, "Well, welcome to the broken hearts club.""It's okay." Her eyes gloomed a little, "I've been at it since the beginning."Abby fixed her mascara and kept her composure, she asked, "Don't you hate me as well?

I always wondered that maybe i wasn't enough.10 years ago, huh?... I can't believe it's been that long. I remembered the day Angelo left me in the closet there at my birthday with nothing but a birthday box to cling to. I heard they moved to America for good but I was hoping one day he'd come back.I still kept the unsent letters. I never got their address so I just kept writing letters without ever sending them.I always made excuses for him.
