Tú y Yo (Prince Royce)

Chapter 22- Take Your Mind Off Things.

*Avadele's POV*

It was only when I woke up next to Bryan in the morning when I had realized what I had done.

"Shit...", I whispered aloud. I just did what I've been trying to avoid since the beginning of the school year. Bryan and I had hooked up last night. I just slept with him... it was all my fault.

I quickly but quietly got up so I didn't wake him and gathered my stuff. I'd explain to him why I left later.

I thought about the situation as I drove back to Christina's. A few years ago I would've died to get inside Bryan's pants. I mean, wasn't it every girls dream to get with their crush from middle school? he was still and amazing guy, but I can't believe I did that to him. I took advantage of his feelings for me. I kinda felt like a hoe.Why did I even do it?

I answered my own question. Because you wanted to forget about Geoffrey...you wanted to run away from your problems and try and act like Bryan could, in some way, fill that space that he left.

*Prince Royce's POV* (a Few Weeks Later)

I recently didn't have any friends in the are at the moment, so when I found out Jerry was in the area, I jumped on the opportunity to meet up with him.

A couple months had passed since Ava and I broke up but i still hadn't completely bounced back. I mean, it wasn't just a break up, we lost eleven years of knowing each other. I couldn't stay mad at her, I had no right to be mad at her anyway. It was all my fault. I just needed to forget about her.

"Hey, man. What's it been? like a year or two? how you been?", Jerry asked me. He was your typical Puerto Rican dude from New York and a self proclaimed ladies man.

"I've been better.", I answered. We were just sitting in Jerry's hotel room. There's nothin more awkward then two grown men who don't know what to do in a hotel room, making small talk.

"You sure? 'cause you been actin all depressed since you got here."

I sighed. "Nah, I'm not alright..."

"Well then, what's the problem?"

"There's this girl..."

"Ah, las cosas de mujeres. I might be an expert in that subject."

I rolled my eyes. Jerry always called himself an "expert" when it came to females. If a an expert was supposed to have a new girlfriend every month. "Really?", I asked questionably. "And what's your relationship status now? You still with Cindy?"

"Nah, me and Cindy been broken up." He noticed my skeptical look then quickly added, "but Im talking to a new girl now. Erica. Two weeks." he held up two fingers for emphasis.

"Wow, how on earth do you do it?", I asked sarcastically.

"Hey, don't come for my motives now. Now tell me what's the problem?"

"Me and my girl...well, my ex girl.."

Jerry sighed. "Which one of you two fucked up then?"

"Me...", I admitted. I explained to him all that went down.

He exhaled after I had finished. "Damn, bro..."

"Now, you see why I'm like this? I just wanna forget about it all."

He patted my shoulder. "Yeah. You fucked up and you wanna forget about it. You just gotta take your mind off things. I think I know how to do it."

"How would you do that?", I asked

"My boy is havin' a party in a few days. And he said i could bring a friend..."

*Avadele's POV*

The months following the incident were kinda awkward for me and Bryan. We still talked and he still tutored me but what had happened between us never came up in the conversation.

"Okay, so I think I reviewed everything for today. See you later..", said Bryan, getting up to leave.

"Wait, Bryan, this needs to stop."

"What does?"

"Us pretending nothing ever happened."

"Huh?"

I sighed. "This is exactly what I mean. We have to accept what we did. Im gonna just come out and say it. We had sex. Simple as that."

"Ava..."

"Wait, just lemme finish. I feel bad...no I feel horrible. It-"

"Ava, I know what we did. I know you're sorry and that you regret it. I just never brought it up because I thought you would get sensitive about it.", Said Bryan, suddenly.

"Why didn't you stop me that night?...", I asked quietly.

"Because... because I like you, Ava. Was it that hard to understand? you were hurting and I thought I could fix that. The question is why did you even kiss me in the first place?"

I was a little bit shocked by his words. "'Cause I thought I could erase him...", I said stupidly. "It was taking forever for the pain to away so I just thought..."

"Ava. there's just some people in your life that you can't get rid of. Sex isn't gonna take away the hurt, its just gonna cover it up. One day the pain is just gonna build up and you're gonna regret not handling it in a better way.", He said shakily.

And then he left.
