***Natalia's POV***

I woke up with a headache. I'm feeling dizzy. I look at the time and it said 5:34 am. Wow, I never woke up this early.

I remove my pink blanket away and step onto the cold, wooden floor of my bedroom.

I yawn while massaging my temples. What just happened yesterday? Why did I have a headache?

I close my eyes, still massaging my temples. What happened...what happened...what happened....

Oh yeah. Me, Sandra and Jen headed to Jason's party. I drank vodka. I met Kyle...

Wait. I met Kyle?

I open my eyes and blink a few times. I did remember meeting him when I was getting myself a drink. Also, I remembered we kissed...

Wait, WE KISSED?!

"Oh. My. God," I said to myself. My eyes widened.

No. I would never kiss my best friend. He's just my best friend. Maybe cause I was drunk....

But, I remembered that the kiss we shared was perfect. Magical. It meant everything to me. I love that kiss. It was great.

But, I also remember that I turn him down. I remembered the hurt in his eyes once I told him to stay away from me.

I hate myself.

Arrgh! Why do I have to be the bad guy when it comes to me and Kyle? I just hate it so much. Why do I keep on rejecting people I love most?

I've had enough.

I stood up and headed straight to my bathroom.

I'm gonna pay a visit to Kyle's house.

* * * * * *

Once I arrived at the Gaston's residence, I sigh before knocking twice in the wooden door.

The door opened immediately and there stood Kyle's Mom.

"Natalia! It's been so long!" Aunt Rosa, Kyle's mom, exclaimed as she pulled me into a hug. I hugged her back, tears threatening to come out.

I miss aunt Rosa so bad. I never visited their house after hearing Kyle and Niña's relationship. I don't wanna be the bad guy in they're love story.

If that's what they wanna call it.

After the hug, aunt Rosa looked at me with tears brimming her eyes. "Oh how I missed you, Talia. Why? Why did you not come and visit our house? Kyle has been an emotional wreck ever since you haven't payed us a visit," Aunt Rosa explained.

I raise my one eyebrow at aunt Rosa. 'Emotional wreck'? Isn't Kyle with his girlfriend? Probably planning on how to make me jealous on they're fake relationship?

"What do you mean, aunt Rosa?" I asked her, confusedly.

She smiles sadly. "Come inside so that I can explain," Aunt Rosa says, opening the door wider and stepping away.

I sigh and step inside. Aunt Rosa closes the door behind me.

I look around and notice that this house still looks the same as when I've went here.
I sat on the big, white couch in the middle of the living room and closed my eyes.

After a few minutes, I felt someone sit beside me. I opened my eyes and looked at my side to see aunt Rosa. She looked sad.

I smile sadly and pull her into another hug.

"I'm sorry, aunt Rosa. I'm so, so, so sorry," I apologize to her, my tears flowing down freely.

She hugs me back, tight. Her hand pats my back gently.

Aunt Rosa seems like my second mom. Whenever my Mom is in this business meeting, I would head to Kyle's house and aunt Rosa would make me hot chocolate with marshmallows.

She always helps me with my problems, and vice versa. She's always like my mom, and she loves me like I'm her daughter.

"There's nothing to apologize, dear. Don't cry," Aunt Rosa says to me.

After we both hug, Aunt Rosa asks me why I didn't visit their house often. I sighed and replied, "It's just I don't want to disturb Kyle's relationship. He's just too preoccupied at the moment. I don't wanna disturb his love life with the girl he loves," I finish, smiling sadly.

Aunt Rosa nods. I look at my watch and it said it's 6:53 am. "Guess I have to go, Aunt Rosa. It's nice talking with you. Bye," I say to Aunt Rosa, standing up.

She stoods up too and hugs me again. I smile during the hug. As always, Aunt Rosa's hugs are very comforting.

After the hug, I started walking away from Aunt Rosa. I stopped halfway when I remembered I need to tell to Kyle.

"Aunt Rosa?" I say, slightly turning my head.

"Yes Natalia?" she says, raising her one eyebrow.

"Tell Kyle I'm sorry."
