CHAPTER 13
“Home sweet home... Home sweet home...” Jacob entered the house singing, dragging his suitcase after two hours of travel.
“What are you singing?” Nick asked, standing next to him.
"I have no idea, it's the only thing I know.” Jacob replied, leaving his suitcase in the living room "There’s an Argentine girl in my class and she always sings it.”
“The rhythm is very interesting, you know? I have a band and...”
I ignored the rest of that conversation to take a closer look at the magnitude of Nick's parents' beach house.
And by house I meant mansion.
The balcony that Nick had talked about? It actually was a terrace of about twenty meters or so, and it stood in front of my friend's humble house, which had eight rooms, each with their own bathroom.
Shit, I had a rich friend.
"A little intimidating, right?” She asked impressed.
"Intimidating stays short.&

I felt small but insistent punches on the sole of my left foot, but the exhaustion was so big that it mattered very little to me.And although the sunlight was burning my corneas, the heaviness in my body prevented me from moving."I know you can hear me, Mark.” Even though Jonny was practically whispering, I felt like a heavy metal singer was yelling in my ear."Let me sleep, Jonny.” I asked turning my back to face the ground. At what point had I fallen asleep on the beach chair?"That had to hurt.” He said laughing "Look, I didn't come here to starve, it's already eleven in the morning and you promised to take me to the beach so that I...”Jonny kept talking, but I disconnected. I had finally been able to open my eyes and what I saw impressed me, Nick was in one of the seats with what I expected, was chocolate syrup and Jacob was on a float going and coming across the pool, there were lemon shells floating around him.

“Look at that! Jonny exclaimed an hour later, pointing toward the Ferris wheel on the Santa Monica Pier.”"I'm not going to happen.” Nick said, swallowing loudly.“Is the bad boy afraid of heights?” Jacob scoffed.“Of course not.”“Yes of course.”“Not!”“Yes!”"They're both idiots.” Jonny interrupted looking around.“What are you looking for?” Asked his brother imitating his action."Seeing if someone I know sees me with you two.” He explained, putting his sunglasses back on."Little rat.” Jacob exclaimed before starting to chase him along with Nick."I think we were wrong by bringing Nick and Jacob together.” I said to Livie nest to me who was watching the show our three companions were giving. Jonny, who had gotten into a bumper cart, was being chased by Jacob and Nick."No, you’

“What are you waiting for, Mark? Come in for once!” I heard Jonny scream, who was in his whale shaped float, a few meters from the shore where I was."In a while.” I yelled back from the sand, seeing Olivia coming out of the water at that moment."You said that an hour ago.” she pointed out, sitting next to me and wriggling her hair."I’m not into it.” I replied looking away to avoid admiring how the drops fell all over her body.That morning, when I had opened my eyes and found Livie in my arms, my joy was such that I didn’t move for fear that she’d wake up, which happened an hour later thanks to my younger brother-in-law who shouted that it was late and we had to leave right then and there."Tell me the truth, Marky.” Livie asked bringing me back to the present."I just don't feel comfortable.” I confessed."Because there are more people today, right?"“Exactly

“Are you okay? She asked worried."Yeah, yeah, really okay...” I gasped, leaning against the car’s door."It's not to rush you, but... In five minutes, we should go in and...”"I know, Livie.” I interrupted, separating myself from the door and taking her by the hand to walk towards the school’s entry.Maybe I was worried about nothing, maybe nobody noticed that we were holding hands, and maybe they wouldn't notice the sweat running down my face either. They might ask if it was raining and not because of our linked hands."Aww... Look! There are the best of friends holding hands.” Cindy sneered as soon as we arrived.Olivia squeezed my hand before laughing.“He's not my friend, Cindy. He's my boyfriend” She answered without losing her smile.Me? I was embarrassed that my hand was so sweaty.“What!?” Cindy, Hillary, Daniel and several of the basketb

I looked worriedly at the screen of my phone once more, and once again, it was silent. “Can you tell me what’s the rush of knowing where she is?” Nick asked huffingly "Let her be, Mark.” "Today we is our three months anniversary.” I explained, blushing at his attentive gaze. “Let me guess.” Nick said amused “You spent a good amount of time writing your emotions in a message and you have not received an answer.” I looked at him amazed. “How did you know?” "It's your first relationship.” he shrugged "You don't look like a man who gives flowers and Livie the kind of woman who likes those gifts.” Nick did know how to read people. "So, you threw all your feelings into the message.” he pointed out. “That's how it is.” "And she didn't answer you.” “Not.” "Maybe she thought you got too clingy.” He expressed, earning a look of hatred from me "Don't take it the wrong way, but, really Mark? Just a t

“Stop! Stop staring at me like that!”“I'm sorry, I can’t.”“Of course you can! Look at the trees or the people around us.”“You are so much prettier...”“Marcus!” She exclaimed blushing."I want to repeat last night.”I smiled when she groaned hiding her face in her hands.The day before, we had finished classes and together with a group of friends we had gone to celebrate at a colleague's house (alcohol included) and around eleven o'clock, we had returned to my house with the intention of lower a bit the drunkenness in Olivia before she went upstairs to her room so her father didn't punish her.The big surprise was that we found my house empty, because my parents had decided to go out and leave me a note in the fridge.So, giving me a seductive look, Olivia had made her way to my room and leaving my mouth open when she removed her blouse before lay

"No, I refuse.”“Come on, Mark! Please!” She kept insisting in a girlish voice."Olivia, don't ask me to go to that party.” I snapped, sitting down on the couch, turning on the TV and dismissing the matter.We were like this since we had arrived from the park about thirty minutes ago.When we had run into Daniel, Hillary and Cindy, they had invited us to a party that night at Daniel's house, in order to celebrate the school was over. Livie had told them we would be there at the same time I said not to wait for us, so Daniel had been trying over and over again to convince me to go, and, seeing I was about to lose my temper, Olivia had hold my hands and saying goodbye to the trio who looked at us with some nervousness when they saw they hadn’t gotten a concise answer from us.Needless to say, we hadn't talked much on the way home."Don't be like that.” She expressed sitting next to me and
OLIVIA CHAPTER 21
Life should come with a sign that says "DON'T MAKE PLANS BECAUSE I'LL FUCK YOU” or at least that's what I thought right now.I planned my life three months ago.I’d finish high school, I’d move to Chicago to study law, I’d live with Olivia, we would get jobs to become independent, in the third year of our career I’d ask her to marry me, we would get married surrounded by our families and close friends, we would have at least four children, we would see them grow up and give us grandchildren, I’d grow old next to the woman of my life. The woman I loved, the one who complemented me, my everything.Apparently, I was very wrong with my plans, because despite knowing her since I was thirteen, that she became my best friend and later my girlfriend, it didn’t make me really know her and, having had a magic crystal ball that warned me that my day would end the way it did, I definitely wouldn't have gotten out of bed that morning
