But she also knew that there were some things that she simply couldn't comprehend. Maybe they were just too complicated, too difficult to understand. Her brother was stubborn it didn't surprise her. He could be very stubborn when he was determined to achieve his goal. She couldn't imagine him ever breaking his promise to her. But she hoped that he would be able to break this promise if he really wanted to. She hated to see her brother in pain. It made her angry and upset, but she also wanted him to be happy. She wanted him to be happy because he deserved it more than anyone. She wasn't saying this to make herself feel better, she just had a habit of saying the things that she thought others needed to hear the most. She wasn't sure if it was healthy, but who cared, anyway? It was probably for the best. She would get used to it eventually, right? She could deal with it. She hoped that she could. She wished that she could help him, but she wasn't entirely sure that she could, even th
Sergio sat on the edge of his bed and stared at the ceiling. His mind was filled with countless thoughts at the moment. He was confused, frustrated, sad, and angry. He was overwhelmed with emotions that he couldn't process. He felt like a mess. There were so many emotions running inside of his head. There were things that were confusing and he didn't know how he felt about all of it. He was having a hard time coping, but he wasn't giving up on her. He wasn't ready to give up on her. She was important to him and she always would be. He had lost her once and he was never going to lose her again. He was determined. He was strong, and he didn't know if he had the strength to survive another loss. But he wasn't willing to give up on her either. He was willing to do whatever it took to make her happy and to prove to her that he cared about her.He was staring at the ceiling, not paying attention to anything around him. He was deep in thought. He wasn' t thinking about her. Or about anyth
"Are you okay?" She questioned, concerned.His eyes flew open. "Y...yes." He replied quietly.She seemed unsure whether or not she believed him. Her eyebrows furrowed together in worry as she stared at him intently, searching his expression. She was obviously still worried and confused about everything that had just happened. She didn't understand why he had reacted the way that he did. She didn't understand why he had pushed her away. She didn't know that he was trying to save himself. She didn't know that he didn't feel the same way about her anymore. She couldn't understand why he wasn't saying what he wanted to say. She couldn't understand why he wasn't being honest. She couldn't understand why he kept blaming her.Her hand dropped off of his arm. She stared at him for a moment before turning around to leave the room. She didn't understand what was happening. She was completely lost and confused. She didn't understand anything that was going on with him. She didn't know what wa
So very angry. And yet, Serena just couldn't bring yourself to yell at anyone else. Not even to Sergio. Because that would hurt him. You hated yourself for doing it. Hated yourself for lying to him and manipulating him. Hated yourself for hurting him. Hated yourself for making the decision to break the promises you had made to him. And yet, here you were, standing in front of him, breaking that promise. Here you were, standing in front of him, breaking his trust.Your eyes widened in shock. Was that it? Was that all it took to cause this much damage? Were these the repercussions of letting someone in and allowing them to become so important to you? Just by letting them into your heart, you had allowed them to tear your family apart. Just by opening your heart up to them, you had opened your soul to them and allowed them into your home. They were now living in your home. You had let them stay in your house. You were letting them stay at your side. You had let them see everything abo
"Because I need help. My dad wants to go through our wedding plans, and he wants to discuss which place they should build an altar in. So, he thinks that I should invite Sergio here to help me with the planning. But I don't know where he will be staying. I mean, I guess I could always send Sergio home. I'm sure that I could probably convince my dad that he needs to leave and go home." "But, I don't want to do that. I don't want to take him away from you. I don't want to leave him here with you guys. I don't think that I would be able to handle it.""Are you afraid that he might try to kiss you again?""That might be part of it. I don't want to have to deal with that again. I don't want to have to lie to myself anymore. I don't want to have to pretend to be happy when I don't feel happy. I want to feel comfortable around you. I want to have normal conversations with you and not worry that you might hate me.""Well, I don't hate you." He insisted."Even if you didn't hate me, I wouldn'
"What was that about?" You asked, panting heavily as you turned to look up at him. You watched as his dark eyes gazed into yours while he took in short, shallow breaths as well. He seemed to notice that you had been watching him and he smiled at you playfully."Your reaction tells me everything that I needed to know."As usual during the weekdays, you were the first one to rise. Despite feeling exhausted from the previous night’s dream and sleep deprivation, you couldn’t get rid of the feeling that you were missing someone. When you woke up, you found yourself unable to fall back asleep due to the lingering feeling of being alone. You thought it best to get dressed and ready so that you could get out of bed sooner rather than later. When you exited your bedroom, you noticed that the house was completely silent and lifeless. It reminded you a little of the day that you had returned to your own house, but it also reminded you of what had happened the last few weeks. The memory brought
Once Serena were alone in the kitchen, she leant back against the side of the sink. She rested your chin on your palms and stared off blankly at nothing in particular. They were thinking too much, but at the same time, you couldn’t stop thinking about the conversation with Sergio yesterday. She still couldn’t believe that you had finally managed to ask him if he was interested in you. She were afraid that he would say no. He’d probably laugh at you and walk away. She shook your head, trying to clear the thoughts away. This was all pointless. She pushed yourself off of the counter and moved over to grab your mug from where she had set it on top of the fridge earlier. She grabbed the lid from the milk and filled your mug, taking a sip of the warm drink. She felt the familiar warmth spread throughout your body and a small smile grew across your face. As you continued to stare absentmindedly at the ground, you missed the sound of footsteps approaching you until they reached the doorwa
Serena didn't push him to elaborate further. In all honesty, you didn't really care where he lived or what he did in general. All she really cared about was that he was okay. That was all she needed to know.“So, uh, what have you been up to since the breakup?”“Not much. We still hang out, obviously.” He chuckled.Serena glanced up quickly, a grin spreading across your face. She nodded slowly in agreement, biting her lip.“Yeah, I guess that would be pretty fun. I just don’t see how we’ll end up seeing each other as often anymore if we don’t have any classes together.”“We won’t be seeing each other as much as we used to,” he said casually, causing you to frown slightly. “I’m only going to be here a couple weeks this year, so we might only see each other during winter break. I doubt that we’ll ever be able to meet up outside of school again.”“Probably true. Still… it sucks. I don’t wanna lose you.” You frowned at yourself. Was that really how you felt? Was it just your usual way of
