Christina Abby Reyes POV
I saw Angelo's cold eyes once again. Did he really hate me that much that no matter how long I stay with him, Kristina's the only one he sets his eyes upon? Who am I kidding, if I was him, I'd probably hate myself too.
I stole them of their love story after all.
I knew sooner or later he'd figure it out but sorry, I planted fake memories throughout the years... I never intend to pretend...but in every day, Angelo would call me by her name and I would always get my hopes up but it turns out, I'm not the Kristina he's been looking for.
I play along with what he remembers.
It's years, Kristina. Not even you can dig up his real memories. They're gone forever. In the end, I will be the one beside him.
Angelo looks at me even more confused as he continued to talk to Kristina. I knew when I arrived, their conversation would be about
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 mean, the girl of your dreams obviously does.""I.." I paused and chuckled, "Honestly, I don't. I told m
Angelo Cruz POVI immediately pulled away, surprised as Abby kissed me, I protested, "Stop acting like a kid. We're not kids anymore, Abby.""If... I wasn't the girl from your childhood memories... then wouldn't you like me?" Abby askedI flinched as I honestly said, "I... ever since, I only had one special girl in my heart and it was you.""Was." Abby emphasized"Was." I confirmed, "You're someone special to me and you always will be. For that, I will be forever thankful for you being there Abby but you have to let me go.""Why? You know you're bad for Kristina, all you do is hurt her but can you let her go? Can you let her go and find happiness with someone else?" Abby asksI... wasn't able to say anything back. I...couldn't?There was a time that we were happy. We really were but as my memories bet
Angelo Cruz POVKevin's finally giving up... he must've really liked Kristina, probably more than I do because he can actually let her go and be happy and on the other hand, I can't. 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
Christina Abby Reyes POVKevin was still okay after some shots, I remarked, "I take it that you're used to social meetings, what? Your parents forced you to attend?""No." Kevin replied, "My parents died. I was required to attend and most of them involves drinking, I figured, it's one of the easiest technique to get into their comfort zones and I just kinda got used to it.""Why did you really come?""I'm heartbroken?""No. I can see through people's lies you know?" I continued, "I know you have a reason for coming.""Do you know why I gave up?"I gulped and asked, "Why?""Because I saw Kristina... so happy and heartbroken and sad and genuine. All of those emotions- all of them were because of Angelo- I can be there to pick her up when her heart breaks into a million pieces but just as soon as it gets
Angelo Cruz POVI remembered it so clearly like it was only yesterday... I heard Kristina's voice from our past. She was wearing her hair in a messy pigtail and protested as we were walking around, "Hey! Wait up Angelo.... My feet aches."I remembered how I smiled and said, "I'll carry you, just hop on my back."Kristina would stare into the sky as I carry her on my back and point out at the clouds saying things like, "Wow, I wonder what the clouds taste like."I would always laugh and say, "Probably like water.""Yep probably or like a candy."We would talks about silly things and laugh at silly jokes as I carried her all the way back then we stopped by the tree where Kristina likes to climb all the time. A girl appeared before us that day.She had a long and flowy hair and pastel dress complimenting her pinkish skintone
Angelo Cruz POVKristina hugged me back and said, "You finally... remembered me.""I told you I'd never forget you, right? That I'd always come running back to find you?" I was crying as well as I continued, "Sorry it took me years.""It's fine." Kristina smiledI stood up and walked towards Abby, she closes her eyes as she braces herself for the harsh things I'll say but in the end, I patted her head gently, I said, "Thank you Abby. And sorry, I wasn't able to notice you until now."Abby left with Kevin without saying anything else.I walked Kristina back home as I held her hands, I said, "It's a shame that I have to leave you again.""Do you really have to?"I nodded"Then, instead, don't forget to write and be sure you'll come back for me ne
Angelo Cruz POV10 years have passed since then, I drank a quick coffee on my way to the hospital...I frantically went to the wards and I asked the nurse, "Where's the patient?""Ah." the nurse continued, "Dr. Cruz, we've been waiting for you, did you oversleep again?""Hey, no I didn't." I denied as I put my glasses on to hide my eyebags, "I had to take care of some things in our company.""Wow, you never really fail to amaze me." She mocks, "A doctor and a CEO. What do you lack? Ah right, a girlfriend."I frowned as I glanced at sky. I replied, "Yeah, save the teasing for later."At lunch break, I went ahead and meet Abby at the local cafe. She had the once long and flowy hari again from back when we were kids, she was carrying a laptop and protests, "Seriously? You had me walk all the way here?""Hey, don't be so picky
It was a typical day, there was nothing special with how the sun shines that hot afternoon nor the way the clouds fleetingly drifts away from the skies.But little do they know, that it was a new beginning. Just as summer vacation ends, a new romance springs.
