Take It All Away

Chapter 9

I loved spend the days with Chris, we were like best friends, we made jokes to each other, laughed at each other and also listened to and understood each other. The feeling I had before he arrived from LA had faded away, I used to look at him and see the older brother I never had and I wanted to keep him like that for the rest of my days in The U.S.

Sebastian had tried to call me a couple of times but I didn't want to talk to him yet, I mean, did we still have something to talk about? Don't think so.

In Columbia, everything was going excellent. I had my first midterms exams and I had the best grades of the Class.

"I don't like you, we can't be friends anymore," Chloe said faking angriness. "You're better than me in every single subject but I can't live without you, Anna, I hate you even more for that," the girls hugged me and congratulated me for my excellence.

My mum decided to travel with her husband and my little brother to Amsterdam, Olly was in his Spring Break and that amazing city was the place David was going to work for the next 7 days. I told her about the Sebastian failure and she couldn't do anything else than say "you learn from your mistakes and what Kelly Clarkson says, my dear angel." Yes, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger and I had survived to know it.

I was also closer to my spring break and I was looking for some stuff to do in the last three days of that week. The first four days I had to do my workshops and papers for my classes, I know, the nerdiest ever.

"You're gonna love this," Chris called me to tell me 'a plan you can't say no to'.

"Okay, come here and we will see. We also have a reason to celebrate!" I had seen on the web some news about Chris and Lily.

"I'm here, tell me everything you know," Chris said once I opened the door. I opened my laptop and showed him the article.

"We are sorry, Chris, but looks like Jamie Campbell has stolen your place." Chris read the whole article, the more he read the bigger the smile on his lips.

"I'm free to say whatever I, whatever I like if it's wrong or right, it's alright!" He sang extremely excited, closing his eyes and using his right hand as a microphone. "That's awesome, I need to tell my agent," Chris took his phone out and called him.

"I know, that's the greatest news I've heard this year, the girl needed his ex to catapult her fame," I heard him saying in my room. I was in the living room looking for a thriller on Netflix, I felt happy for Chris too.

"What are we watching?" Chris asked lying down on the couch, right next to me.

"What about Saw I, II, III, IV and then V?" I looked at him almost laughing at his horrified expression.

"You're the most horrible person I know, but if you let me stay the night with you I won't have a problem watching all of them," Chris answered winking at me.

I laughed with my hand of my stomach. "Okay little baby, whatever works for you."

We watched all of them, indeed. Chris cursed every single time he saw blood in the screen, I had no idea he didn't like that kind of stuff. "That's not even horror, that's ghoulish!" He yelled at the TV with his eyes closed avoiding the girl with her jaw hanging.

I couldn't stop laughing, Chris looked extremely cute when watching this kind of films. "You're gonna pay for this, Anna, do you hear me?" Chris pointed at me with an angry face.

"Yes, whatever!" I replied. I got up to go to the toilet and when I came back I regretted making Chris watch those awful films. Chris welcomed me with a tickle attack and I was the most ticklish person you have ever known.
