PART OF THE BOOK FROM SAMUEL'S POINT OF VIEWThat man called my father believed that just by coming out of nowhere into my life everything would change. That my grudges against him would cease to exist. That we would be happy father and son when he wasn't there the day I was born, nor on my first birthday, nor at the school events, he wasn't there to give me Father's Day presents. He was never there for me. In short, he doesn't know anything about me, or how I am, he doesn't know my personality, my tastes, what I'm allergic to and what I'm not.He had a rage inside for some reason. The action of him hugging my mom sideways wanting to say I was his wife really bothered me, had she already forgiven him. I couldn't believe it so I told her:- I will never consider you my dad, you never have been and you never will be. And as for you, Mom, have you forgotten that he got you and his best friend pregnant at the same time? Answer that. - I said full of rage.- Don't be disrespectful Samuel.
PART OF THE BOOK FROM EVA'S POINT OF VIEWI had only one door left to open, it was obvious that it was the door to Samuel's room. I grabbed the door lock very gently in case Samuel was awake. I walked in without making a sound. He was lying on his side looking out the bedroom window. He seemed to be thinking about something. I wanted to say "hello," but I didn't know what his reaction might be. I turned to leave the room and go to my room. It was too late, at that I heard a, "Eva?-Eva? Is that you? -Samuel said. I missed that voice so much, but I couldn't forget what I had come to this room to do. I had to end the relationship. My mother was practically dead because of us, me and Samuel, and that hurt like hell.Occasionally I hear my mom talking to my brother in the kitchen about my relationship. Neither of them liked the idea of seeing us together. It should be noted that my mother knew nothing of what Samuel was telling me. That his dad was also my dad and everything, obviously, s
I arrived at my room shaken from running down that long hallway. I was heartbroken, I wanted to cry, because I remembered that in about three or four hours my brother, his girlfriend, the nurse and the doctor would be coming to my room and I didn't want them to see me with my eyes red and swollen from crying so much. I knew that if I started thinking about my mom and everything that happened that day, I would go into tears and I wouldn't be able to control myself. I had a bad feeling that after this I might go into depression and end up in a psychologist for two years. Having lost my mom and knowing that I could have prevented it, no doubt filled me with too much sadness and pain. On many occasions things didn't work out to be with Samuel and we both wanted to insist on being together, because according to us we loved each other. What I may have felt for Samuel is not even half of what I feel for my mother, the love for Samuel will never reach the love I have for my mother, she is my
PART OF THE BOOK FROM EVA'S POINT OF VIEWNow that everything was settled with my brother, I was a little happier. My mom's death still caused me a lot of sadness and sometimes I would spend the whole night crying, remembering the things we did together. I remembered a time when I promised my mom that I would be the best lawyer in the world. That was my dream and she always supported me in it. On the other hand, being broken up with Samuel still affected me a lot. My brother's girlfriend told me many times that he was too sad about how things happened. But I don't think there's anything to do about it anymore. I can't deny that I still love him, but it's in the past, isn't it?The day came when I was going to leave the hospital. The truth is that horrible cold had already made me tired. Not to mention the pills and medications in general that they gave me every day. And having to see the nurse's face every morning was starting to bother me a lot. On the car ride home, I was thinking a
PART OF THE BOOK FROM SAMUEL'S POINT OF VIEWI woke up very happy, yesterday I had seen my girlfriend and we were an accepted couple. Everything was going well for the first time and that filled me with peace. I was going to take a bath, Eva sent me a message saying she wanted to go to a shopping mall, to which I agreed. I got out of the shower and was in the closet looking for what to wear, I finally decided. I got dressed and left my room. When I came out, my mom was in the kitchen finishing serving breakfast on the plates.-Where are you going, son? -My mom said.-I'm going to the mall with Eva," I answered.-So you're going out with her every day? I thought that today you could stay and watch movies with me or something.-Mom, I promise that when I get home we'll watch the novela together and tomorrow I'll stay all day watching movies with you, okay? -I answered.-You know your dad leaves very early for work and I'm left alone here at home. Once in a while he makes time for me.-T
It all started unplanned. I had already seen pictures of her on Instagram stories and yes, she caught my eye, but I didn't have information about her or where she studied, I only knew her name.I only knew her name. On the first day of second period classes, I was talking to my friends and a classmate said to me:—Samuel, there goes Eva, your future girlfriend.I turned around and saw her, but not very well, she was entering the school and I was outside.I had to study in the morning and she had to study in the afternoon. I decided to go back into the school to see her.I never believed in love at first sight. But everything was different and unique. She was walking and I was behind her. At one point she stopped walking, turned around, saw me and said, "Are you chasing me?—Are you chasing me?For the first time, I saw her from the front. I could tell she was the prettiest girl in the whole school.She had an enviable smile, her hair was long and dark brown. Just like her eyes and her
The next day I saw her sitting at some tables in the parking lot of the school, she was alone.I arrived and told her:—Do you need my support?—No, I don't need your help, thanks anyway.—Why do you have to be so difficult?—I just told you I don't need your help, you should worry more about doing your school activities.—I do my homework, I saw you sitting here making the poster board and wanted to see if I could help. That's all, you don't have to get all defensive with me.—I'm not being defensive, I want to finish my homework without any distractions.Just then a friend of hers "Camila" arrives and says.—Eva hurry up, in 15 minutes we have to present and we need the poster, I'll be in the room waiting for you.That was my moment, I still had to highlight the letters and finish coloring some drawings, so I told her:—Eva, hurry up. I think you do need help because in 15 minutes you are not going to be able to do the poster by yourself or are you?She looked at me with a "I hate y
The next day I went to school, handed in my homework and waited for Eva to show up.After half an hour she arrived with a friend, walked past me and completely ignored me. I didn't understand what was going on if yesterday she was super nice to me, her attitude today was very different from yesterday. I needed to know what had happened, so I went to where she was sitting with her friend. When I got there I said to her.—Can I talk to her?She didn't even turn to look at me, she was ignoring me and I didn't understand what was going on until her friend said.—No, neither Eva nor I want to talk to you, so if you would be so kind as to leave, we were having a conversation when you arrived.—I want to know why you don't want to talk to me.—I'm not going to tell you anything, go away you lier.—Eva, what is the reason why your friend doesn't want to talk to me and you don't want to talk to me either, I deserve an explanation, don't you think?—No, I don't think you're worthy of any explan
