* Valentina Pov *
As I hug him I finally catch my breath & stop crying. "You never said you were coming back" he looks down at me. Then looks at Delia's mom. "It's okay, you two have a lot of catching up to do so you two go have your privacy." Delia's mom gives us a reassuring look & smiles her sweet & motherly smile she always does.
He takes me up on the roof & it reminds me of the old times, one of the memories I used to always used think back to. He looks at me & smiles. "You haven't changed a bit,
still your beautiful self." I blush, but think back to when he left. He never even said goodbye, Delia was the one who told me, & now he expects me to just forget about it & welcome him with open arms?
No, that's not how it works. Just because I gave him a hug doesn't mean I'm not mad at him & have forgiven him. Thinking about it just makes me mad. I look away from him & say whats on my mind.
"Why didn't you say goodbye? Why did you just leave without saying anything?"
I spit out with all the anger I have. He looks at me with a look of guilt. Good. Hopefully he feels bad for what he did.
"You never said bye to me, never called, & never even texted. What happened? As soon as you moved to Cali. You forgot about me? Because you sure as hell never tried to keep in touch with me."
I get up & go on the branch from the tree we climbed to get up here then when I get back on the ground I look up at him.
"Valentina, please let me explain!" & that's when I see him coming after me. So I started to walk.
He eventually catches up with me & hasn't lost breath or anything, so I was pretty surprised since I walked pretty far. "Please let me explain." I looked at him with a annoyed look. "I heard you the first time." Then I rolled my eyes, I've had enough of him. Let you explain what?
" Valentina Adriana Scott. " I stand still & turn around. "I've know you ever since we were in pre-school & I know that I haven't called or texted you but that's because.." I look at him with a worried look. Because at the end of because his voice cracked.
"Tell me what happened Marcos" I give him a reassuring look so he'll know I'll listen to what he has to say. He's right, we've known each other since pre-school & have been bestfriends ever since. That's how I know that something's wrong. Something must've happend.
His eyes get watery, & a tear finally falls down his cheek. Now I definitely know something's up. He looks in my eyes. "It's my mom, you know how I liked living with my dad but my mom, she lived in California?"
"Yeah, why?" I look at him, wondering what he might say next.
"The reason I moved all of a sudden was because of her. She got- she got cancer all of a sudden & had to go to the hospital. I ended up going & a month after I moved to California she died while I was getting her lunch in the hospital. It was a normal day, but then when I came back to her room from the cafeteria she wouldn't wake up, her eyes were closed. The doctor ended up telling me that she wasn't going to come back."
As I stare at him, tears falling non-stop from his eyes & tears threaten to fall from mine also. I don't know what I would do without my mom, so to imagine her to disappear from my life just like that is scary. & Marcos mom was like my other mom too, she used to always take me to my soccer games & was the coach of my soccer team when I was in little league. She always put others before her & would risk her life for anyone, even if it was a random person walking on the street.
It just makes me cry even harder. How sometimes the good people get more punished then the bad. She had cancer so she must've felt so much pain each day. "I'm so sorry Marcos, I-I forgive you" I looked up at him & he looks down at me with his adorable brown eyes, then tucks a strand of hair behind my ear. I can't help myself so I just do what I wanted to do ever since the last month he was here. I pull his collar & I kissed him with all of the emotion I have.
He kisses back & puts one hand on my hip & one under my chin. He pulls me even more into the kiss & before I let his tongue enter my mouth. "Ahem. " I turn my head & there he is. Declan Spencer himself with a shocked & hurt expression. He grits his teeth & moves his jaw a little then he knits his eyebrows together. Jealous much? Anyways. Now he knows how I felt when he sucked face with Avery, but this wasn't for payback. Unlike him I'm not that low. & how was I supposed to know that he was walking the same way I was. But I still bit the bottom of my lip & he just stares at me, eyes full of both lust & jealousy. Then that's when Marcos holds my hand & holds it tightly.
