Love Me Again

Chapter 2

"The saddest thing about betrayal is that it never comes from your enemies"

•••••••••

As I try to wrap my head around the situation, I can't help but wonder what transpired during her absence. What did he say to persuade her to be with him? Or maybe, I am still lost in a dream and this is all just a figment of my imagination.

My imagination must have gone mad then.

She had completely disappeared for 3 months, we all reassured ourselves that she was fine since she kept in contact with Ana but I guess we didn't pay enough attention. We all just believed what we wanted, I'm sure none of us could ever think that this would be the outcome of her disappearance.

I found myself completely fixated on them - it was impossible to tear my eyes away. It was clear as day that she was beaming with joy, while he exuded an air of self-assurance, like he had just achieved something monumental. The difference in their emotions was so striking that it was almost mesmerizing.

Did she suddenly forget everything he's done, if she didn't care about me then couldn't she see what he had done to the others, how he tormented them every day just because they associated themselves with me?

The group was stunned by what had just occurred, and a tense silence hung in the air. Chelsea, struggling to make sense of the situation, spoke up, her voice laced with urgency. "What the hell just happened? Am I dreaming?"

Ana, equally perplexed, responded with a hint of frustration in her voice. "I have no idea what's going on either," she said, her tone growing more assertive. Out of everyone, I would think Ana would know about this but she seemed as shocked as we are.

Lorenzo, sensing the need for action, stood up and walked towards the scene of the commotion. "We need to talk to her," he declared, his voice firm and determined.

"Wait Lorenzo, you can't just go there" Chelsea attempted to stop him but it was already too late he already started making his way there and honestly it looked like no one could stop him this time, not even Chelsea herself.

I wasn't one to encourage a fight whatsoever but Enzo is right, we need answers and I want them now.

"Guys come on this is pointless, what do you think is gonna happen are you guys blind" Chelsea continued but honestly nothing was going to stop us, Alessandro had gone too far.

Maybe we all knew that deep down Chelsea was right, maybe this was pointless but I wasn't about to sit back down and just watch, not this time.

As I approached them, I felt the weight of reality sinking in with each step. Standing before them, it was as if I was living out a familiar yet uncertain story.

Alessandro's evident dislike for me made me wonder if his animosity ran deeper than I had realized. "Let's go, Summer," Ana urged, attempting to pull her away, but Summer stood her ground, refusing to budge.

It was like she was in quicksand, the harder you try to get out the deeper it pulls you in.

What lies had he fed her, better yet what lies did she swallow and let digest? "Come on Summer if this is some type of joke you need to stop now" Lorenzo demanded looking more pissed than usual.

"Don't talk to my girlfriend like that scemo" Alessandro spoke as he stood up from his seat Summer followed right after, she was like a new puppy who wouldn't leave her ower. -fool-

"I wasn't talking to you " Enzo replied looking him dead in the eyes, I had to step in between them before they got into a fight again, now as I was facing Alessandro it seemed like the words were struck down my throat. What was I even going to say anyway?
