22: Wrong thinking

***Kyle's POV***

I woke up the next morning with a headsplitting headache.

What happened last night?

I looked at my side and saw my phone vibrating.

I grabbed it and checked the caller ID...

Niña Jones(fake girlfriend) is calling...

I immediately pressed REJECT and placed my phone on the desk.

I rubbed the back of my head and tried to remember what happened yesterday...

Oh. Yeah.

I drank champagne with Niña, trying to convince her to not hook-up with Jason cause there might be a chance that Jason already has a girlfriend.

While we were arguing, my champagne was finished so I went to get a new one. And that's when I saw...

Natalia.

She was drunk and she had a glass of vodka in her right hand.

And I remembered everything.

The kiss. The perfect, magical kiss we shared. It was the bestest kiss ever. No one ever made me feel like this. Only Natalia can do that.

But then, I remembered her telling me those all so hurtful words....

"Look, Kyle I don't know how to say this but....you already have a girlfriend who is a stuck up bitch. So, I don't wanna be a bitch too by intervening your relationship. I don't want to cause more problems. Niña got my sister hurt, so that means I have to  stay away from you. I'm sorry."

I sighed. My heart hurt just by remembering the words she just said after we shared that kiss....

So, wait. Does that mean the kiss wasn't anything to her? That it was just this piece of shit and that she didn't actually enjoy it?

No. She even kissed me back....

Oh what am I saying. It's better if I'll just forget about it so that I won't kill myself.

"Kyle! Wake up!" my Mother yells from downstairs.

I head out of my bedroom, feeling the big lump in my throat.

"Finally. Did you forget today is a Sunday? We have to head at church in fifteen minutes. Here, eat your breakfast," Mom said, gesturing to the plate filled with food.

I sat down, picked up my utensils, and started eating.

Mom looked at me like I was acting weird.

Can't blame her. I'm trying to heal myself from the pain in my heart.

After five minutes of watching me, Mom asks me, "Kyle dear, what's wrong?"

I sighed and bit into my bacon. "Oh Mom, you wouldn't understand. I mean, this is teenage stuff and well you're not a teenager," I replied.

"Does is have to do something about Natalia?"

I dropped my utensils and looked at my mother suspiciously. How did she figure it out?

"Where did you hear that?" I asked her.

"Well, it's just, Natalia came awhile ago here. I made her breakfast and we started chatting about how we're going and how her grades are..." Mom blabbers on.

I roll my eyes. "Mom, just please, get to the point," I said.

She nodded and then started talking again, "Well it's just I asked her why wasn't she coming here at our house anymore. I mean, she always came home with you but now, it's different. She said that she's actually quite busy with some school stuff and anyway if she came here, you would be busy too," Mom explained.

Natalia was wrong. I wasn't busy. All I did was read books and listen to Niña's blabbers and nonsense chats. I hate it. I hate my life just because of Niña. She made my life miserable.

"And then?" I asked her.

"I said that, 'He wasn't busy at all', and then she said that it was because of your new girlfriend, Niña Jones," Mom said.

I shrugged and continued eating.

"Kyle, I thought you loved Natalia. I mean, she's all you can talk about since you were in second grade. Why all of a sudden you jumped into another girl?" Mom asked me, confusingly.

I just shook my head and headed upstairs.

I hated talking about this. It jusg breaks my heart even more, hearing that Natalia doesn't come over my house just because she thinks I'm too busy with Niña.

When actually, I'm too busy thinking about her....
