Reminiscing ?

Nothing makes sense..

Vera's POV:
We stood there. Time stood still. I soaked up my tears and our eyes met one last time before our lips locked. At first, the kiss was small. But then, it grew bigger, and more intense. It was probably the most intense kiss that I'd ever experienced. Sam held me by the waist, close to his body.

"Vera! I overheard! Are you oka-" Nestor had ran out the house. He stopped himself instantly as he saw me and Sam together. His expression changed drastically.

It was Nestor. Shit. I broke apart from Sam and instantly turned to him, my eyes stung from the tears. He looked right at me, he was hurt- I could see. Things had changed. Nestor cared. I stood paralysed as guilt over took my body. Why? It wasn't like we were close or dating even. Without saying anything he turned back inside and slammed the front door shut behind him. I let out a deep sigh. I knew I couldn't run after him, after all we were nothing.. we hated each other and I can't pretend that everything is normal.

"Vee?" Sam took my hand in his delicately.

I looked back to him, "Thank you Sam. For everything." I managed to form a slight smile with my lips after all he was the one who knew me best after everything that's happened.

"I want you to know something. I'll never waste your time or treat you of any less of the amazing person you are. I'm always here, don't forget it." He whispered into my ear sending chills up my spine.

I took a deep breath. What had my life come to? Things seemed to only get more confusing by the day. I just knew that there was no way in hell that I'd be seeing my father anytime soon, it was too soon. "That means a lot to me, you mean a lot to me." I blushed, "I just.. today I need some time alone. I hope you understand."

"Of course, do what you need to do." He nodded and walked inside himself; leaving me outside in the fresh air.

I looked around me at the surroundings and took in all the beauty of nature. Often I hoped that one day I could escape from reality and remain in a place outside like this where I could have as much time to think as needed but I knew that I was far from free. I turned to make my way inside- I headed up to my bedroom where I shut the door behind me. I jumped into my bed and climbed under the covers. Claire hadn't tried to talk to me, I guess she knew that I needed time to think and I was honestly thankful for that. I switched on the tv with the remote beside me and began to watch Netflix, I had needed a day like this. A day where nothing mattered. It wasn't too long until I had fallen asleep.

*ring ring*

I groaned.

*ring ring*

"Seriously?!" I grabbed my phone from the side table and picked up. What has a girl got to do around here to have some peace? I thought to myself.

'You better have a good reason to be calling me."

"Geeez. What's gotten into you? I'm outside."
