Trust me, I'm Yours (Short- Story Completed)

Chapter 9: The Confession

Jessica POV

Who the hell is she.

She doesn't even know how to dress well. That white high-heeled shoes with a matching deep yellow short dress? Who does she think she is, Marilyn Monroe or something? She is not that sophisticated.

And that long wavy auburn-colored hair? That is so two-thousand late. Short and super dark hair is definitely the trend today.

I guess I've been away too much that Brent forgot about the reason why she liked me before. I was the simplest girl in the class. I dreamed of becoming exactly like Mia; a daughter of some rich family. But I was never born that way. I grew up looking at magazines with the faces of the most famous and elegant supermodels and businesswomen of the modeling industry. I dreamed of being respected and looked upon by other respected people as well. And for that to happen, I had to give up the truest thing that has ever happened in my life; Brent's true love for me.

Brent almost gave me everything. At the time, I took advantage of it. I never realized how true his love for me until I lost him. It was my 16th birthday when he was supposed to introduce me to his entire family as officially his girlfriend. He has never done something like this before in his entire life. But then again, we were too young to be in love.

I, on the other hand, was not so looking forward to that. The biggest news that I received as a birthday gift at the time was the news that my mom was getting married to a multi-millionaire businessman who happens to live in Australia. I couldn't be more excited to hear the news. What's more, it was actually the day that I'll be spending my last hours in the Philippines before the greatest adventure of my life.

I told Brent that I couldn't face his family, and that I had to end the relationship. It was that easy for me because I never really cared about our relationship before. Sometimes when people love you too much, you get to be overwhelmed to the extent that you think they are always going to be there for you no matter what. You think that you can just play with them like a puppet on a string. Turns out it's not exactly as it is. People have feelings, too. When someone cares for you too much, learn to appreciate them; at least if you can't love them back.

I have a different situation, though. Brent is a nice guy, but too nice for me. However, when I found out that he has already moved on, I couldn't take that right away. I thought all along, I was the one who moved on. But no; it was really him who actually moved on. I, on the other hand, was just about to realize that I have officially lost him.

I went back because I felt the need to get him back. I know what he really wants. And it's definitely not her.

Brent's POV

How can she do this to me? After everything I had gone through, she's just going to show up like that as if nothing has happened? I couldn't deny that she is still my beautiful, gorgeous girl. And that deep down inside, behind her Gucci dress and Chanel accessories, she is still that same silly smart girl that I have met and fallen in love with before. I knew I've always wanted her back in my life. But Mia is also special to me. I feel like, Mia has shown to me the different side of the world. But what if I'm still willing to give Jessica another shot? That's what I wanted, isn't it?

My friends are of no help. I couldn't talk about this with my family. I am not ready yet. I figured it would be best to give us another shot again. This one is too important now. This could be another chance to start all over again but this time, we will do it right. Together. Maybe she finally realized how much I loved her. And she sure know as well that she loves me back. This is what I've been waiting for.

I dialed the number she provided me. After three rings, she finally answered.

"Hey Brent. A little surprised you called." Jessica said.
