It was You all along - Short story

chapter 3

right after my lesson , i was about to go get something from my locker until Katrina gave me her so called 'stare' reminding me that I had to apologize to Tristan . ugh fine i will , just let me get my things for cheese sake . gosh .

right after I got my stuff i started searching for Tristan , i tried finding him the whole recess time but i couldnt . I was about to give up when i finally spotted him there sitting on the grass listening to music . its stupid really , he shouldnt be turning on his phone in school , does he like not know that ? but whatever , i started walking toward him , nervously , yes i was nervous cause its stupid to just go shout at him and apologizes after .

"heyy" i said as i sat beside him "hey there" he said with a smile , i realized that he was just forcing his smile . Chloe , you did this ! and i can say , im not happy . "you know you dont have to smile if you dont want to" i said , his smile started fading away and he looked on the ground "so you noticed eh ? i just didnt wanna make you angry by giving you the same smile again" geez , did my words really affected him ?

God . No shit sherlock Chloe . im glad your smart ! ofcourse it did

"right about that ..." i said and he slowly shifted and looked at me signaling me to go on , well here goes nothing

"im sorry for shouting at you earlier , I .." i looked at him once again and i see a small smile forming on his face knowing that I just apologized , but seriously i dont know what to say "okay to be honest i dont really have a reason of why i shouted at you but i just ,. i just am sorry , i know it stupid to go shout at you and just go apologize after but I-" , "Chloe!" he interuppted and i looked up to see his small smile turned into a big one . but this time it was the smile that he always give me , the smile that makes me crazy , and as I said , its driving me crazy !

"you dont have to say sorry , infact i should be the one saying sorry for being a not so humble guy" he said and I chuckled . hah that was so true ! "i heard that" he said and smirked . shit did i say that out loud ? oh wells i just laughed and he laughed along too .

right after we both finished laughing we both held our now painful stomach . i wiped some of my tears away , no i wasnt crying but i had tears because of laughing so much . thats what happend when i laugh way too much . "its good to see you smile like this chloe . i like it when we get along" he said and cause me to blush , he noticed me blushing and just pinched my cheeks to make it even more red "that hurts Tristan!" i screamed but laughed afterward . damn , i never felt so happy in my life before , i feel like i have a strong connection with him through something , i feel like i have known him before when my dad was alive but i just dont know when .

"by the way chloe , what is your full name?" woah whats with the sudden interest with my name ? "Chloe Martin Ramirez" i said and his eyes widend a bit "Ramirez ? ... is Ashton Ray Ramirez your father?" he asked , how did he know my father ? is he some stalker or something ? "ahhh yea ?" i said but it turned out more of a question "NO WAY" he screamed , dayum this kid can be loud "yes way" i said and rolled my eyes , is there something i should know about him and my dad ? i mean he sure knows my dad.

"That is so cool ! your Father used to be my basketball coach when i was 10 years old" he said happily ! SO IT WAS HIM ! i knew it ! i knew he looked like the kid my father always shows me . He was his favourite one ! oh my gosh its actually him ! "wait so you're Tristan Jay Mccall ?" i asked , oh please say yes ! well it is obvious his gonna say yes ! oh Chloe .

"yeah How'd you know ?" he asked still having his huge grin "my dad always use to show me your pictures . he always told me how you were his favourite . sometimes he'd be talking about you all day that i started getting jealous of you . But he said that i will forever be his little Girl . so no biggie" I said and finished off with a smile "Cool ! by the way where is he ? i would love to meet him and Play basketball with him again" he said

soon as he said that he wanted to meet him , my smile turned into a frown knowing that he wasnt going to see my Father ever again not only that , im sad because even i cant see him forever . not really forever though . cause i will meet my daddy soon . the thought of my dad makes me wanna burst out crying but i didnt and i couldnt . soon enough Tristan noticed my sudden change of expression because i saw how his smile turned into a Concerned look

"hey , whats wrong ?" he asked touching my back , and rubbing it "he passed away 3 years ago" i said trying to hold back my tears but unfortunately , i failed badly . "why ?" he asked , Hurt was all over him i could say it by looking into his beautiful eyes "he .. he had a cancer , he had a heart attack when i was 14 , and - and he" i didnt even bother finishing my sentence and cried my heart out .

i felt an arm wrap around me and i knew that Tristan was hugging me , but i didnt bother at all cause i really needed the comfort , i really do "shh Chloe you dont have to tell me , im sorry i asked" He said and hugged me tighter

it felt different somehow , him hugging me . i mean , everytime someone hugs me i never felt safe , but now when he hugged me i somehow felt safe , i felt like my dad was the one holding me right now , it felt so surreal . i buried my face deeper to his chest and cried harder , until i felt like stopping .

i slowly got out of his grip and looked at his now soaking uniform well only the part that i used though , "sorry i didnt mean to be all dramatic and oh look i even got ur uniform wet" i said and wiped my tears away "its fine , it was worth it Chloe" he said and gave me a weak smile , i couldnt help but smile weakly back "thank you , trist for comforting me" i said and hugged him , i couldnt help it , he reminds me of dad and i feel like i want him near me all the time . it took him a few seconds before he hugged back

we stayed like that for a few seconds before i pulled back . I gave him my best smile and he gave one back to me too . this smile , the smile that once drove me crazy was now the one that makes me happy . we both went to seperate ways but to tell you the truth .. i already miss him , i dont know why thought , I just do .
