Red Roses 》Valdangelo 》Book 1 (COMPLETED)

◽⚫➡ Nico ⬅⚫◽

If I let him go.

I do crazy, chaotic things. I do unnecessary things, and things that just cause trouble.

If I let Leo good, that would be one of them.

I don't know how else to live, it's no longer in my nature. I'm just not capable of loving anymore, after I trained myself I don't want to for so many years.

I have to let him go.

I sigh and stare at my reflection in the TV. I've been sitting here for three hours. My mother went to work, my father stayed asleep, and I sit here.

I stand, stretching my legs, and walk back to my room. In my room, the curtains are closed, and the walls are littered with prints, except for this one bare portion of my wall. Leo and I were supposed to go there.

I sit on my bed. I have too much time for thinking, I shouldn't be thinking. But all I do is think, think, think. And kill, and live.

I sigh again and look around. There's nothing to look at, so I close my eyes for a second or two.

I feel a buzz by my leg, and reach to grab my phone. Leo, you shouldn't have texted me.

_TEXT MESSAGES_

Leo: Nico, it's been 2 days, y won't u tlk 2 me

Nico: hi, leo.

Leo: Hey

Nico: I'm sorry

Nico: Leo, we need to talk

Leo: Here it comes

Nico: Here what comes?

Leo: Ur going to break up w/ me and never want 2 c me again and then I'll b all alone again

I stare at his reply. Why do you have to make this so hard, Valdez? I feel my eyes get watery, and I have a feeling it's not from staring at my phone screen too long.

Nico: Not exactly

Leo: O

Nico: Leo, look

Nico: I can't hurt anybody anymore

Leo: u haven't hurt anybody

Nico: yes, Leo, I have. I just don't tell you that stuff because it's not your problem.

Nico: But I cause a lot of trouble for the ones I care about.

Leo: so this IS a breakup

Nico: Yeah, Leo, it is. But not a bitter one.

Leo: Ok. I get it. Stay in ur own world where u think everything is wrong with u and I'll just go back home 2 nobody. Ok.

Nico: Leo, it's not like that

Nico: please

Leo: please wut

Nico: Please understand

Leo: How can I when u don't tlk 2 me?

Nico: I'm sorry

Leo: Don't b. It's just 1 of those high school relationships, right?

Nico: no, Leo!

Nico: I love you!

Leo: so y did u hurt me?

No. No, no, no. I did this so I wouldn't hurt him! He doesn't understand. I-I.... I'm a problematic mistake. No, not a mistake, a piece of a mistake, because I'm just so freaking worthless and useless and...

I feel my eyes hot and I know they're red. My phone is resting in my hands in my lap. I feel a warm tear roll down to my shoulder, where it now dampens my shirt. I'm so sorry, Leo.

I stare at the bare spot on my wall.

A/N Not too bad, right?
No, I'm kidding, it was awful.
BUT, that's why there's a second book already in my drafts, to see if I can set a better tone.
Don't worry, the love isn't completely over. Valdangelo shall live on! Long live Leico!

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed a little bit, hopefully it didn't vary too far from the description.

Writing this was enjoyable, and thank you all for your awesome comments and wanting to read! I really do hope you check out the second book, I'll let you know when it's out.

Thank you all so much, my #1 readers, and have a wonderful day/night!

Peace out with love,
