{Tristin}
Hector has been acting weird...or well not his normal weird. Apparently he has been very busy that he can't talk to me. Which sucks because I could really use his advice right about now. Since the night of the party I haven't been doing well. It just hurts knowing Christopher was telling the truth about not having feelings about me.

Sighing softly I write down the appointment on my note pad so I can tell my boss. I shouldn't be thinking about him. He doesn't think about me so why should I think about him? This whole thing has my head spinning and everything is a mess.

It had been almost a week since that night and it is still messing with me. I should be over him but I just can't help it. My phone dings so I pick it up seeing a text from Hector.

Hector💚
Meet me at this address! I have a surprise for you! <3

Then he sent me an address. I wonder what the surprise is. I will have to go after work which is in a few hours. I go back to answering calls and setting up meetings only.

Later after work I walk on the side walk towards the place which is a park not far. I jump when I hear a loud thunder clap. It is definitely going to rain, whatever Hector has for me better be water proof. Soon I make it to the park looking for Hector but I don't see him anywhere. I stop when I see a trail leading to a hedge maze with a sign.

Enter Here

I enter the maze walking around and getting upset when I walk into a dead end but then I see a dim light. Walking towards it I fell drops of water hit my head and before I know it it begins pouring making me slightly cold. When I reach the end I was expecting Hector to jump out and yell surprise but it was Christopher. He was standing in front of me holding want night have been poster? The writing was messed up and the poster paper was soaked.

Christopher was soaking wet as was I but I can't believe Christopher is actually out here. Covering my mouth to cover my smile so he doesn't see. Christopher looks down at the sigh before tossing it to the side with a roll of his eyes. "Tristin I made a huge mistake and I will admit it. I want to make it right so hear me out?" He asked over the sound of pouring rain and occasional thunder. I rub the back of my neck wondering if I should or not. I want to but how do I know if he is real.

Well, he is standing in a park in the pouring rain so. I nod my head stepping closer so I can hear him better. "I lied when I said I didn't care for you. I thought if I pushed my feelings down they would disappear and I wouldn't have to deal with heartbreak anymore" He begins and my eyes widen. He does care about me...

"I've had many relationships before and they all ended the same, either they wanted more then I could give or just used me. When I saw you on the sidewalk begging me to help you I was going to walk away, pretend I didn't see you" Christopher reached out and grabbed my hand. "At first it was just sex but then it went to something more. I wanted you to like being around me, I wanted you to smile whenever I entered the room" My breath hitches as he cups my cheek with his other hand.

"I wanted you to be mine and only mine. Then you confessed and I...I got scared that you would leave so I put my walls back up and blocked you out." I lower my gaze as my heart rate picks up.

"Then Joey came in and attacked you. I wanted to hurt him for touching you. Break every bone is his body for you. I am so sorry for pulling you away from Hector but I knew if you saw it, it would've been way worse for you. I'm sorry for treating you like a toy and I'm so sorry for not telling you this sooner" Christopher presses his forehead to mine. I wanted to say something but I didn't know what. He did all this so he could tell me how sorry he is.

"W-What about Alana" I ask softly. "The night you left my house I went out to a bar and got drunk, she came in and began talking to me then the next thing I know I'm walking up to her in my bed" I gulp as jealousy creeps up. "It was never supposed to happen. We were supposed to happen" Christopher mumbles.

"I know this doesn't make up from what I've done but if you will let me I want to start over. Take you on proper dates" A smile creeps onto my face as my cheeks burn. "This is your only chance Christopher, don't mess it up" I say looking into his eyes. Christopher smiles, he actually smiles a real smile before hugging me. I laugh as he picks me up and spins me around.

"Hector did all this didn't he" I ask as Christopher when he sets me down. He nods then kisses my cheek. "I'm going to hurt him because he didn't check the weather" I laugh again. We make our way out of the hedge maze then stop at the entrance to the park. "Go take a warm shower. And I'll call you about our first date, okay?" He asked which makes me smile. I nod my head then turn away and begin walking to Blaine's place. I can't help but smile the whole way because Christopher actually likes me! I honestly can't wait for our first official date. I know Christopher wasn't lying to me. Thank you Hector for pushing him to talk to me.
