Fall Girl

Margot

I was still in shock when I heard Kev witness my kiss with Ian. I always thought no one had seen us while making the world's stupidest mistake. I was cursing myself for being so naive and thinking no one had seen us. I didn't even say a word when we reached back the hotel and climbed out of the car.

When I entered my room, I fell on a bed and closed my eyes to think about the moment we broke our kiss I instantly realized I didn't love Ian, and I could never be with any guy except Kev. I had always loved Kev but never had the courage to tell him my feelings because I knew I was just a friend to him and nothing more. After kissing Ian I decided to tell Kev that I love him. 

When I entered my room, I fell on a bed and closed my eyes to think about the moment I broke the kiss with Ian. I instantly realized I didn't love Ian, and I could never be with any guy except Kev. I had always loved Kev, but I never had the courage to tell him my feelings because I knew I was just a friend to him and nothing more. After kissing Ian, I decided to tell Kev that I loved him. No matter what the consequences would be.

At that night I went to Kev's room and knocked several times, but he didn't respond to any of my knock. I told him I wanted to talk to him but still no response. I came back to my room with heavy heart and decided to confront my feelings for him in a morning.

the next morning Kev picked a fight with me and now I know the reason. when I came back in my room after Kev's nasty comments on me, I started crying. When Blake found me crying alone he thought I was missing Dad. He offered me a visit to our penthouse, and I instantly said okay because I wanted to go away from Kev and his filthy comments that echoed in my mind.

We went to our penthouse with Mrs. Ryan and stayed with us. All day there was no text or call from Kev. I didn't want to go back, so I asked Mrs. Ryan if we could stay the night. Blake and I stayed up all night in Dad's home office and watched our birthday videos. Maybe that was our last goodbye to Dad.

When we got back to Kev's, we got to know that he had left Glisten. I was taken aback but didn't share it with anyone. No one knows about our fight and after a while, my shocking state turned into rage and then I started burying all my memories with Kev.

I came back from my memory lane and Aurora's name flashed on the screen. With a sigh, I rolled onto my stomach and answered the call.

"It's good know Aurora Loranzo is alive." I taunted her.

Aurora yelled at me. "After leaving for a trip to South Shore without telling me anything you are accusing me of ghosting you."

I giggled. "You are right I have been a bit busy in my chaotic life. How about we meet and catch up on each other?"

Aurora got excited. "Perfecto, because I have a lot to tell you and a lot to ask you."

I was about to respond but Aurora being Aurora, and she continued. "You know what who I bumped into today?"

I squinted. "Who?"

Aurora sighed. "Blake and he told me about your south Shore trip."

I still confused. "Why are you so excited about meeting Blake?"

Aurora immediately responded. "I am not excited about meeting Blake I am excited because I have seen someone with your brother and trust me it seemed kind of date to me."

A rage coursed through me. "What the fuck? Is Blake seeing someone?"

Aurora took a deep breath. "No, you goofball Thea was with him, and both seemed pretty happy to me."

I sighed in relief. "You scared the shit out of me." I continued "Anyhow how is that mystery guy from Galaxy?"

Aurora knows how to settle accounts with everyone. "You have left Glisten without informing me so now you have to wait until you come back."

I gasped. "Why do I get the feeling that there is so much sex involves in your hidden story?"

Aurora frowned. "Okay I am out of this conversation. Call me when you'll be back." then she ended the call.I tossed my phone, quickly packed my belongings and said goodbye to Sawyer and Kev. Once again, Kev and I were surrounded by an awkward silence. All the way to Glisten, I was lost in flashbacks and Kev also didn't bother to talk to me because I also closed my eyes and pretended to sleep.

When Dane told us about Kev, that was the night. I had my first nightmare. I was naive and didn't understand what was happening to me. I didn't even share with Blake or anyone else. Since then, I started burying my problems inside me and presenting a falsely lively Margot to the world.

Time flies and Blake moved back to our penthouse, but I stayed with Dane and Mrs. Ryan. Blake couldn't take care of me due to his abnormally busy schedule. When I started college, Blake bought a house near Dane but at that time I moved to our penthouse.

In college, I met Phill, my first serious relationship in those ten years. In college, I met all my friends. Aurora and I became besties, and she caught my nightmare problem in one of our sleepovers. Dr. Goodwin is Mr. Lorenzo's friend, and she forced me to visit him. Aurora never asked anything after I visited Dr. Reynold. She sensed I didn't want to talk about it.

Dr. Goodwin tried to help me a lot to bring peace into my sleep but failed and now I realize how he could help me when I had never told him anything about Kev. It never occurred to me that Kev could be the reason for my nightmares. I think Phill also got to know about my nightmares, but he never brought the topic up for discussion.

When engine turned off, I heard Kev. "Mar, wake up."

I opened my eyes, and he was also getting out of the car, but I stopped him. "Mr. Ryan will take my bags; you don't need to come out; it's late; you must be tired. Thank you for the ride, and good night," I said with a smile.

As usual, Kev didn't say anything in response.

The moment I walked in, I fell onto my bed and didn't even change. Everything that happened today was still fresh in my mind and with chaotic thoughts, I dozed off.

The next morning, I woke up with another nightmare and like always, I went for a run. I realize the more I run, the more my mind gets at peace. My running steps soothe my soul and help me to shut off all crazy thoughts and last night's images form my mind.

I stopped in front of my building to catch a breath. Kev was talking to someone, and I was confused about whether I should go to him and tell him the truth about me and Ian or not. whenever I see him in the morning, I have the same dilemma: should I talk to him or not since he came back to Glisten?

Before I took any decisions, I heard thunder, and it was an unexpected downpour. I was looking at Kev and he was standing there, not looking at me, engulfed in conversation with someone. I was watching rain droplets fall on his face but suddenly those droplets turned into blood drops. I felt the droplets on my face were also blood. I was wiping my face and, in a state of chaos, I woke up.

I noticed that the loud sound wasn't the sound of car horns, but my alarm clock, letting me know that it was time for a new day. Even though I was scared, I was determined. I got out of bed and looked at my schedule and saw that I have a meeting with Dr. Reynolds today, but I chose to talk to Ian on the way to the clinic instead.

I pulled over in front of his building and was about to leave when I saw Renna standing with Ian in the doorway. Ian kissed her on the forehead, and she turned around and left. They both smiled as if they liked each other. What the fuck is wrong with me? I can't believe they're seeing each other; how could I forget that Ian came to my house and asked me strange questions about Renna? I didn't want to talk to Ian about that awkward situation that happened between us years ago, so I turned my car back on and headed to the office.
