The Adventures of Skittles

Chapter 8 Part 1 - How I Fell for Him

Oh my, gosh. I am still not over Sam Smith's Lay Me Down. And I just realized that it's a song about the love of his life, dying.

That's how I interpreted it.

It hurts me. So much. Very much.

Sorry, I unpublished this story. I just have some things to add so yeah.

Chapter 8 Part 1 - How I Fell for Him

Mom and Dad just got out to head for their dinner with the Monteros and the Gerards while I sit in my room, still upset over the fact that Dylan Sebastian Tatia bailed out on me just to hook up with some girl. And I loathe him for doing that to me. I shouldn't really have expected much seeing as I'm just his friend and nothing more.

Reader: Yup. Don't be such a delusional bitch, Skittles. He would choose hooking up with someone than spending time with you.

I felt myself shrinking as Reader practically sneered at me. I really shouldn't have expected anything because I know that nothing will happen and in the end I will just end up hurting. I hate it. Why can't I just throw him in the fuck it bucket and just get on with my life and enjoy because who gives a fuck about that jerk, huh? Who gives a flying fuck about Dylan Sebastian Tatia?

Reader: You.

I sighed. That's right, I forgot that I actually give a fuck. Do you want to know how I ended up falling in love with a douche bag such as himself? Do you? Let me tell you the story, then...

When we were kids, it's pretty much inevitable to not have a childhood crush, a childhood best friend, and fake marriages that sometimes lead to that moment where the person you're marrying steals your first kiss. It was a peck on the lips but nonetheless, it was still a kiss.

And that's where it all started.

Just like any normal kid, I have a childhood crush, that's Sebastian. A childhood best friend - or in this case, best friends which are Sebastian and Charlie. And of course, again, like any other normal cliché kid, I also had a fake marriage and that's with Sebastian.

Dylan Sebastian Tatia.

He's a huge part of my life, maybe it was why it wasn't a surprise when I realized that somewhere along the lines I fell in love with him. And maybe that's why I finally understand the phrase: Moving on sounds easy but I died a thousand times in pain just to appreciate this phrase. I haven't felt that so I know that up until now, I haven't tried.

I heard Sam Smith's Lay Me Down softly playing on the radio. The feelings I'm getting is pushing me to remember everything. Every single reason of how I fell in love with the guy who won't feel the same way or maybe, just afraid to feel anything, at all.

I heard a rock slamming on the sliding door leading towards the balcony making me turn to look. I walked towards it, entered and looked down. "Seb, what are you doing here?" I whisper-yelled at him. "It's 2 o'clock in the morning, go home!" I added making him smile. He, then, raised his right hand showing me a brown paper bag. "You said you were craving for burger and fries." He said making me release a breathy laugh. "It's convenient that you have a tree beside your balcony, isn't it?" He asked as he smirked at me.

"Skit?" I didn't hear Seb's voice calling me as I continued to bawl my eyes out at the movie that I was watching. I'm currently in the living room and is sitting in the couch, as we speak. "Skittles!" I turned to look and saw Seb approaching me. "Why are you crying?" He asked with a worried look after sitting beside me. "This movie sucks. It made me cry." I said before sniffing. Seb chuckled as he placed his arms around me and pulled me close. "The fact that it made you cry means that it doesn't suck." He whispered as he place a kiss on top of my head.

I wrapped my arms around his face and hugged him. "You should stop bawling. You don't look good when you cry." He said "Is that your way of saying that I'm an ugly crier?" I asked in between sniffs as I looked up at him with a pout on my lips. Seb placed a hand on my cheek to caress it. "No, it's my way of saying that I don't like seeing you cry." He whispered as he smiled down on me.

Lay me down tonight
Lay me by your side
Lay me down tonight
Lay me by your side
Can I lay by your side?
Next to you
You

I closed my eyes as Sam Smith's voice faded. Those memories were the foundation of everything that I've liked about him.

We were texting each other, talking about random stuff and then I told him that I was craving for burger and fries at 1:30 in the morning and after that he didn't reply. I assumed that he fell asleep but then half an hour later, he was outside my house with the food that I'm craving for. I fell because of the way he cares for me, he doesn't like seeing me cry which shows that he cares that much about me. And I love that he cares that much. But that's Sebastian. If he cares for you, he'll show you.

Seb's the kind of guy who would be a perfect husband. He's caring, he's responsible and you know that he'll always be there for you when you need him. He was always there for me, through thick and thin. He comes whenever I need him and he's just... there. Seb's that guy. Maybe that's why I can't move on and just let go because most of the memories I have, he was there so how could I move on so easily if that meant that I also have to let go of the memories that's holding me back? I just can't.

Short chapter, I know but I kinda have to do it in 2 parts seeing as the first is about Skittles or how how Skittles fell for Seb.

The part 2 will be in Seb's POV. I hope this chapter gave you an idea of why it was pretty hard for Skit to let go and just move on.

That's all! Hahaha!
