Love Me Again

Chapter 1

"Behind this smile is everything you'll never understand."

••••••••

Love and hate are two of the most powerful emotions that we can experience in life. The line between them may appear thin, but it is distinct and must be respected.

Too often, we confuse our feelings and misinterpret them. It's essential to recognize the true nature of our emotions to avoid making mistakes that have far-reaching consequences.

When we think we hate someone, we ought to be sure that it's genuine hatred and not just a manifestation of our deep affection for them. Likewise, when we feel love, we should be confident that it's not merely a fleeting emotion that will fade away with time.

Just as I  have loved him for as long as I can remember, and nothing can shake that. Even if there's one thing that makes him hate me, I know that my love for him won't falter. It's truly remarkable how everything can change in an instant, but my feelings remain steadfast.

I've been attending College for almost a year now, guess it's my luck that it's the same one Alessandro attends. We did decide that we would both attend the same college when we were kids but I had thought that his feelings changed. I guess at the end of the day his still the same Alessandro that I know or maybe destiny is just trying to keep us together.

I was lying in bed, enveloped in my warm duvet when my best friend barged in without knocking. Hasn't she heard of knocking, honestly I doubt she's even heard of something called being nice.

Startled, I looked up to see her pulling open the curtains, flooding the room with bright light. Why would she do that, she knows I can't fall asleep if I have direct light "Bella," she said as if it was the most normal thing in the world.

We had decided to move together when we both started attending the same college and damn she likes to be on time. I'm starting to regret our friendship, I need a do-over.

I groaned, feeling annoyed that she had interrupted my peaceful moment."What Chelsea?" I asked, not bothering to hide my irritation. Not this again."My eyes," I yelled, as the sunlight finally hit me, causing me to squint why did I even open my eyes? I quickly tried to cover myself with the duvet, but she had other plans.

I groaned as she shook me awake. "Come on just let me sleep," I pleaded, trying to grab my duvet with my eyes still closed. I could hear the birds chirping outside and the sun peeking through the window, but all I wanted was to sink back into my warm bed. I loved my sleep yet I always seemed to fall asleep at 3-4 in the morning every day.

"College starts in an hour," she signed, her arms crossed as she stood at the foot of my bed. I finally opened my eyes and saw her stern expression, reminding me that I couldn't afford for her to leave me again.

She looked like she was already ready. Damnit why didn't she warn me about this when we decided to move in together?

I tried to give her my best puppy eyes, but I probably looked like a stray dog with my hair sticking out in all directions. "Two more minutes," I begged, hoping to squeeze in a few more precious moments of sleep before the day began.

"Come on Bella we can't miss the opening for the second semester" she argued and continued grabbing my duvet from me. What a friend I have.

I lay in bed, feeling a sense of dread creeping over me. I had completely forgotten about that, it felt like today was just a normal day. Damn it's today, can't I just skip the whole year?

"Get up right now before I need to go and get a bucket of water again " she said walking away from my room and I jumped awake. I don't need a repeat of last time.
