Chapter Five [Summer Love]
‘It’s you, oh it’s you, it’s you they add up to, and I’m in love with you, and all your little things....’
I heard Mara sang, her voice was like an angel, I could tell, as I was sitting in the couch while watching random stuffs, I headed in the kitchen, “Men, You can sing!” she was surprised, and gave a grin, her voice was like an angel, I swear, her voice can hit the higher than g notes, and as I see her play the guitar with her cute little fingers, I felt addicted listening to her voice as she strummed the guitar passionately, the voice of Rachel also was different, and I liked it, but Mara’s voice, I was stunned, I envy her that she can sing high notes, “You also played the guitar”, I said with a big smile, she laughed quietly, “of course!” as she plucked the guitar strings, making the ‘Safe and Sound’ tune, “Showoff” I muttered, she laughed as she threw the guitar to me and I didn’t quite noticed it but I somehow managed to catch it, I strummed the guitar, making a song of David Guetta starts and she started singing.
“You shout it loud, but I can’t hear a word you say”, she sang softly and raising the last part with a high note, I was stunned again.
“I’m talking loud, not saying much...
I’m criticized, but all your bullets ricochet...
You shoot me down, but I get up”
“I’m bullet proof, nothing to lose, fire away, fire away…
Ricochet, you take your aim, fire away fire away…” we sang the chorus and Mara raised the pitch very high, It was beautiful, she was beautiful.
“You shoot me down, but I won’t fall, I am Titanium…
You shoot me down, but I won’t fall, I am Titanium!” she hit the last part, with the highest pitch as she can, I laughed a little, she sang confident, and I liked that.
“Whoa” I smiled. “You were great singing” she blushed, awe, she’s cute.
“Thanks” she said, still blushing.
“You can hit the high note, you have a great talent” I said, making her more blush, I laughed quietly, now, she looked like a tomato.
“You know, your blushing a lot” she laughed, as I sat the guitar down in the counter.
We two stayed quiet, and I walked near her, grabbing her neck, and pulling her body against me, and I felt my lips in her lips, she’s not kissing back, well that’s normal, she was the first one to pull back.
“I’m sorry” she just stared at me.
“I don’t want to be your rebound, I don’t want you to just use me to forget Rachel!” and now, she shouted, she was now super red, she’s not blushing, she’s mad.
“Mara, I’m sorry” she ran, heading anywhere, way to go John, Fuck. Now I wasted my second chance.

After the horrible thing I did, I was fucking ashamed of myself; I sat here in the living room, with everybody except, Mara. I trailed of and headed to Mara’s room, I knocked, Who is it?” she asked loud and clear and I can hear her, “John”, suddenly she opened the door, she looked at me like a devil, she pulled my arm and pushed me in the edge of her bed, I breathed quietly, I realized that I was going to be scolded, I chuckle softly, “Mara, I want to tell you something” I started, she just sat in a spare chair in the room and just stared at me, “every time, I looked at you, and every time I think of you, I realized that I want you and I loved you, but there is this thing stopping me, my feeling for Rachel doesn’t stop, I wanted to tell you that, I- I kind of developed my feelings for you” I blurted out, her eyes went big, and her sad expression, turned into a big stunning smile, “Mara, I have a crush on you” she blushed, to be honest, I kind of liked Mara since the first time I saw her, yeah, Love at first sight, but my feelings for Rachel is stopping me, like half of my body wants to love Rachel and the other half wants to love Mara, I was confused, but Mara thinks that I was using her even if I don’t want to, she smiled at me, bringing me back to reality, I stepped closer to her and I kissed her, she kissed back, I knew she also have a crush on me, half of the girls in school wants to date me, with my looks, my body, and Fuck, ha!ha!ha!, I pulled back, to catch my breath, “John, me too, this past two days, I had a crush on you too, but please John, don’t use me, I don’t want to be used again” two of us sat in the edge of her bed, as her head fall into my shoulders, “I’m sorry, so, so.., who used you?” I asked nicely, “It’s a long story” she said, “and I have a long time to listen” I quickly said, “when it was my Freshmen year in college, I really can’t adapt to my new school, then I met this boy, who isn’t single and had a girlfriend, and her girlfriend was one of my best friend, after two years, they broke up, and I was there with my girl best friend, I was there to comfort her when they two spitted up, she begged me to flirt with her boyfriend, so that she would know if her boyfriend developed feelings for me, and when I kind of, loved him too, he asked me to be her girlfriend and then that time I was happy, and before our second monthsarry, she forced me to have sex with him, and that time, he was desperate because he really wanted to forget about her, my girl best friend, so I said yes, but when I was about to lose my virginity, I stopped, and he wanted to do it, and he kind of forced me and I knew I was being raped, so I pushed him back and ran away from him, the next day, I talked to my girl best friend, and she mentioned that the reason that they broke up because he was sleeping with girls, and I’ve realized that I was used.” Everything she said, she started to sob, I hugged her tight, now I knew her more and about her past.
