A Broken Friendship

     Chapter Two – Submarine

I remember that movie he showed me. I fell in love with the trailer and that was when I fell in love with his taste in music.

The movie ‘Submarine’. It was an incredible movie. I don’t know why- I just loved it so much.

He showed me that movie a few days before I had to fly back here from the holidays. I guess it’s why I remember it so well.

I watched the trailer at least one hundred times. Even at the waiting room at the airport, I watched it at least ten times. Not kidding. Literally.

Alex and I had bonded over the summer holiday and everything was going well and perfectly. I had stopped staying up all night worrying about things and I barely even noticed it.

Alex was doing good to my life. He put the smile on my face with all the sweet things he said. He put the smile on my face when he shows me how much he cares through all the songs he showed me.

A few days before I had to fly back here, the secrets started spilling out.

I told Alex about my past few boy friends. The ones who backstabbed me and left. Alex told me he didn’t want to be one of them. Then, we barely argued. In fact, we didn’t- at all. I told him not to worry and that none of that would happen. I have never been so wrong.

We continued the conversation that day, unaware of the future and how strong things can be slowly knocked down within months of time.

On the flight back, the only thing that crossed my mind was him, him and him. It was then I realised that I liked him more than a friend.

That kept going on until a few weeks ago.

I mean, of course I fell for him. We talked for the summer holidays, from morning to night, everyday and each day, he turned funnier and showed how much he cares more and more.

Of course I fell for him.

I wouldn’t say things straightaway went wrong when I landed here.

It didn’t. No, not straightaway.

I feel like this should end this chapter.

I’ll tell you more on the next chapter.
