"Luisa..." He trailed off.
There we stood. On the steps of my home. I on the 1rst step, he was on the second. His brown eyes sparkles miraculously as the lamplight flickered in the night. They weren't full of the usual silliness and stupidity. No. They were full of concern.
"I'm fine," I lied... and it was evident. Before I knew it tears, immensly hot ones flowed down my cheeks. They've been held in way to long-For over a year and a half.
He hugged me close, tight, refusing to let go. I cried against him while his hands held me in a warm protective embrace. His lips against my ear whispering sweet nothing's. I no he was trying to be caring but it wasn't helping
It's not every day you date a sicko for a year and he suddenly comes out of the blue to break up with u. As if that weren't enough, kissed another girl infront of you and publicly humiliated you infront of his friends. It was beyond terrible.
"Feeling better?" He asked.
"Yeah. A bit," I admit.
"Reminds me of the time a friend of mine fell into an electric eel pond," He smirks looking down at me.
"WHAT!" I exclaim as I fall into laughter
"There we go. that's the expression I want tosee," He teased tickling my sides. The action only makes me laugh more.
"Thanks Xander," I chuckle. Then my expression dampens. Kai would have done the same thing.
Only, thinking about it now makes me wanna snap his head off.
"Thinking about him?" Xander asked letting me go.
"Yeah. I really thought... just..."
"you'd be together through college?" He smirked folding his arms
"Blame me for dreaming!" I sigh
He chuckled. "Hate to say 'I told you so'"
"Yeah thanks," I sigh
Silence.
"I know this sounds weird, but... wanna get revenge?"
"yes! Heck yes! You don't Break my heart and get away with it!" A devilish grin sweeps my face
"Then be my fake girlfriend," He smiled
"Yes... wait WHAT!?" confusion masks my face.
"Think about it. I and Kai are best buds. Seeing their Ex with his best bud would send him spiralling into jealously.
"You think?"I ask hopefully
"I know so. Kais the type that gets jealous easily. And when It's out of his reach to change, he can get crazy."
"I'd like to see that," I smile.
"so what do you say?" He stretches his hand to me.
My heart stats to race, but a voice in my head screams 'You really want your heart broken again? You really don't learn your lesson once huh.Thats how they are, sweet angels on the outside, but dangerous devil's on the inside. Try and see.'
I falter for a moment and his smile just widens."Take your time. I'll be waiting when your ready. promise you that," He winks at me
I laugh."Idiot."
"haven't called me that in a long time red head," he laughed as well.
I smile lightly. But a question runs across my mind. "Xander," I call making him turn back, those coffee caramel eyes flashing. "Why are you helping me?"
"simple," He smiled. "He hurt my friend."
And with that he dissapered into the night.
Getting inside, I immediately popped onto the couch and dozed off.
Crying does that to you.
Not soon after, I felt my body suspended and warm heat around me. I opened my eyes to see a very uncomfortable close up view of my Elder brothers chin and jawl8ne.
[I will never tell him he has a sharp jawl8ne]
"Travis!" I bark. "Put me down!"
He tilts his head down to me and cocks an eyebrow. He sighs,"If u say so."
I drop to the wooden floorboards on my ass. Hard.
"Ow!" I croak. "What the actual hell Travis!"
"You said put me down," He retorts dryly.
"Not like that asshole!" II grumble
He shrugs and whips out his phone, so deep into my face so the videos on it is blurred. "Mind telling me what the FUCK happened, so I know who to beat up?" He questions and I can hear the blades anger in his tone.
That's the over bearing, nonchalant and asshole of A brother I have. Travis Orlando. Don't get me wrong, he's a good brother in the wrong aspects: teasing, annoying the shit out of me and wanting nothing to do with me or my life.
Yup. Were fucking happy.
I snatch the done from his hand as he leans back against the wall and watch me with a wary expression.
Once he does that It's either I'm on the verge of crying or I'm positioning my hands in the way of strangling somebody.
I'm pretty sure it's both
It's nothing I haven't experienced. t was a vide o of Kai doing the same shit from yesterday. That didn't anger me, although my twitching eye lies and betrays my words. Honest. It wasn't the vide o that angered me. No. Not the slightest.
It was the comments!
A lot of hate comments under the vide o and more that 43k views. (Boy does personal news travel fast. I'm sure these tickets don't even know what the Hell happenned.)
I sigh." It's nothing you need to worry yourself about. Did they see it?"
Travis shakes his head." Mom and Dad are over sees. I don't think they have the time to monitor social media and stop stock loss at the same time," he deadpan.
"I'm in my-
A text appears across my screen and so does anger as it pools on my jade green eyes.
The Video was leaked onto the senior college campus forum and Heck was it blowing up!
"THIS MOTHER FUCKER!" I seethe.
I fish out my phone from wherever I kept it- Jean pockets, hoodie pockets- and dial a number.
"Still waiting for u to tell me who to punch."
The phone rings in my ears," Physical damage can't hurt who I need you to hurt."
"What will?"
"Not what.... who?"
"Who are you dialing?"
"Someone whose going to switch the tables and make my life seem normal again," I smirk wickedly.
"Which is?" He cocks another brow
"Easy. My revenge plan." I laugh diabolically
"Yeah, no. Don't laugh like that," he deadpans. " You sound like a dying dolphin strangling on a fish."
"Asshole" I mummur.
The phone picks.
"Meet me at the Cafe on Elms street in 30. Also, Kai's dead!"
