The Not-So Forgotten Loser

Chapter 5

-----Valerie's POV-----

We had been standing in the middle of nowhere hugging for about 5 minutes. When we pulled away from the hug we both had the biggest, most genuine smiles on our faces.

"Where have you been?" Jo asked

"Uhm... well, can we talk about that some other time?" I asked looking at the ground

"Yeah, sure... Just promise me that we can hang out from now on?"

"Of course" I said, grinning from ear to ear.

He pulled me into, yet another, breath taking hug. "Lala?" he whispered into my ear.

"Yeah?" I whispered back, not pulling away from the hug.

"I miss you." He said then buried his head into the crock of my neck. Laughing I pulled away smiling at him, "I missed you too."

-----Jose's POV-----

I can't believe that she's back, after all these years. I can't help but wonder where she was, I mean it's been 3 years since she disappeared. I know she was going through a tough time but she didn't even say goodbye to me. But hey she's back now, that's all that matters. I think that I more than just missed her, I don't know what I feel though.

She looks so different; when we were younger she had short dark brown hair that was always straight. Her face had baby fat on it, which even though most little boys would be screaming about cooties, I always thought she was so cute. But now, her hair is long with big natural curls, its still brown but it has more of a blonde tent to it. All the baby fat was gone and it was replaced with perfect check bones, and big brown eyes. She was beyond perfect, she's gorgeous.

I can't wait for us to start hanging out again; I hope it will be like old times, only better.

-----Valerie's POV-----

I wanted to tell him where I was, but I didn't want him to judge me like everyone else that known did. We only just became friends again; I don't want to risk that. I'll tell him sooner or later...

He looks so different now, when we were kids he was kind of chubby, in fact he had rolls. But his eyes, oh god his eyes, they were like a chocolate ocean, one I just want to jump into and never leave. Now, he is thin with muscle, and I mean muscle I could feel his 8 pack through his shirt. His eyes are the same as they always have been and the fat on his face was replaced with perfect check bones, something I'll never have. He would never feel the same towards me as I always have towards him.
