My Fault

The Single Life.

Kristen's New Apartment:
'So how is the single life treating you?' Pedri asks me.

'Do you know what? It's actually better than I expected.' I chuckle.

'Really?' Pedri asks surprised.

'I mean, it's not like I was with him for ten years. I feel like if the situation and the relationship whatever, was different then I would've been different right now. But I'm great.' I explain.

'You know... you never actually told me what happened with you two...' Pedri looks at me.

'It's a long story.' I chuckle and groan.

'I have time.' Pedri gets comfortable.

'Okay.' I chuckle and grab a pillow.

'You know we, we knew each other way before we started working on this project...' I start.

'Mhm.' Pedri nods.

'And like, we worked with each other on different series, movies, whatever.'

Pedri nods.

'And um... then I found out I was obviously going to work with him on Culpa Mia and I was so happy. We were both happy. Considering we knew each other and we knew how to work together...' I explain.

'No yeah of course.' Pedri gives me an approving nod.

'And we did. And we attended premieres, after parties, you name it. And we already had such a good bond. We were practically siblings.' I smile, thinking about it.

'Yeah.' Pedri nods and smiles.

'And then we just ended up becoming more than friends, as each day went by. But we never actually had a label. We weren't like you know officially boyfriend and girlfriend.'

'Yeah I get it.' Pedri nods.

'And then we did. He asked me to be his girlfriend and it was great and amazing. And it was genuinely the best feeling. It was the kind of thing like, I fell in love with my best friend, you know?' I chuckle.

'That's always nice.' Pedri chuckles.

'But then it started going south, like really quick.' I look down.

'How though? Like that's the point I don't get.' Pedri gestures with his hands.

'I don't want to be the person that's like gonna blame another. But in this case, he genuinely started arguments for no reason. And it just got really toxic in such a short space of time.' I sniffle.

'It's okay. You can talk about it. It's fine.' Pedri pulls me into a hug and kisses my forehead.

'I don't wanna get upset.' my voice breaks and I wipe a tear off my face.

'It's fine, you can get upset.' Pedri plants another kiss on my forehead.

'And their was just petty arguments... like even when we would sort it out, they wouldn't actually be sorted.' I take deep breaths.

'I'm sorry. I really am. I love you like a sister, and it breaks my heart knowing that you had to go through that.' Pedri smiles.

'Thank you. I love you.' I hug Pedri.

'I'm always here.' Pedri brushes my face.

'Thank you, Ped.' I chuckle.
