Luke's POV

Two days had passed since the day I have no doubt about Veronica. Two days had passed since I trust her with all of my heart and soul that she is not like the other girls that ruins the heart of a boy when they have the chance of doing so. I thought I know already all about Veronica. All the details about her.

All her past.

All about what happened before I met her.

But I don't.

Not a single thing...

"Are you and Veronica, dating?" Harold ask me. We are now in their house. It is Tuesday morning. I decided to come over here before I go to Veronica. I told her that we will watch movies all day together. I'm very excited for this day because finally, I can be alone with her.

I know it's wrong. Falling for another girl while you are still in a relationship with another girl. I love Stacey. I know I love her 'before I met Veronica.

Stacey...

We haven't talk lately. She's always busy. She never told me what she was doing to keep him very busy like forgetting just to text me. She haven't answering my calls. Maybe she's totally busy...

I trust her. She was the last person that I expected to cheat on me. I have a phobia of getting cheated by the person I love the most. My first love did that to me. The first girl I give all my love and trust.

The first girl...but she ruined it. She cheated on me. She have sex with someone every other night when I'm not with her. She always have her way for me to forgive her. I'm to naïve back then. Too innocent...no, too fool.

And Stacey was the one who was there for me and then I fell in love with her. She fell in love with me.

So I trust her. She wouldn't do what she knew would break me into pieces,

again.

"Are you listening to me?" Harold waved his hands on my face. I forgotten that I was with him.

"Oh, I'm sorry. My mind was flying." I chuckled. "What was your question again?" I ask him even though I already heard it a while ago.

He rolled his eyes. "I ask you if you and Veronica was already dating? Since the two of you were always hanging out." He smirked.

"No. I have a girlfriend back in Australia right?" Why would he think that we're dating.

"Oh." He just simply answer.

"Why are you asking?"

"Nothing. I'm just making sure." He looked away.

"Why would you?" I know what was it. "Do you have a crush on her? Tell me!" I playfully smack his shoulder.

But knowing Harold having a crush on Veronica makes my heart to beat faster.

"No. I. Don't." He said in serious tone. I was relieved by his answer. I just nodded. "But I think I have to tell you what was the reason why I was crying at the park."

He haven't told me about that and I merely forgot about it also. I nodded again for him to continue.

He sighed. "It's because of Veronica." He begins. My eyebrows begin to furrow. What was Veronica doing about this?

I was about to ask him that when he continued. "She was the reason why I was crying. She let me trust her. She let me think that she loves me but she don't. They're just playing me. I'm too fool. I'm too stupid. Why would a girl like her, so popular and so beautiful in the first place, would love like me? A nerd guy that no one liked to be with. She always do that with boys she know that likes her. She always play. She played me." He looked away. The tears that stinging in his eyes are now flowing down his cheeks. He immediately wiped it. "Stupid tears.."
