I don't know what caused me to get in the position I'm in. Ive been in love with him since I first laid eyes on him.
We were best friends for years until him and his parents up and moved away, not even telling me till my mom accidentally blurted it out 10 minutes after they'd left.
At 14, everything was so surreal. Having your best friend taken away is one thing, having the love of your life disappearing is another.
I thought I was over him, after three years you learn to realize what you can't have. But after three years of crying myself to sleep, I still couldn't stop thinking about him.
His blue eyes that I could fall in love with all over again. His smile that took me to another planet. Everything about him was perfect, almost unreal.
I never thought I'd see him again, I never thought he'd even remember me, but with him standing in front of me, with his blue eyes burning into mine, i didn't know what to do.
Should I be happy he's back and run into his arms so we can start where we left off? Or should I run away and forget this day happened?
Honestly, I had to blink a couple times to fully process that he was here. I was done imagining things, this was real.
I loved him so much, I still do, but as he opened his arms and walked forward, I found myself stepping back slowly.
"Rikki.." He softly muttered in a hurt tone but I still backed up slowly till I hit the oak tree in front of my house.
"Stop." I whispered, too afraid to say anything more. Too afraid he'd disappear into thin air.
"I didn't want to move away. I didn't want to leave you. I had no choice in anything, it was a life or death situation. But I'm better now. Everything's different and I have control now. We can be together now." It was almost unbelievable. At first I was relieved but then anger was the only thing that stood between me and him.
I walked up to him quickly and he opened his arms for a hug but my hand flew against his rock hard cheek.
I scoffed loudly. "Did you honestly think you could just come back and pick up where we left off? After three years don't you think I have a boyfriend? Or after three years don't you think I'm tired of you hurting me! You can't just break me down for years then decide I've had enough and come back! I will NOT be that girl with her head shoved up your ass anymore." I let it all come out in an angry rush and walked passed him.
His shocked expression rested on his face but his hand reached out for my wrist which I quickly slung back to my body.
"No you don't touch me. You'll never touch me again." I said without looking back, I just stormed into the house.
Who does he think he is? This isn't some movie with a happy ending. It's real life. No romance, no breaking.
"Lost in thought?" My mom popped up into the kitchen with me.
"You can say that." I muttered and rolled my eyes at myself.
"Well I've got a surprise for you. Come into the living room with me." My mom smiled and we walked into the living room.
"Do you remember my best friend Andy? And her husband Michael? They're chandlers parents, they just moved back here." She grinned hugely and I just sat there surprised that these people could even think they could just walk back into our life but right as I was about to speak Chandler walked through the door and took a seat next to his parents.
"Andy don't be rude. Tell them hi." My mom finally broke the silence.
"Sorry mother. I'm so sorry that I'm ecstatic to tell the people who've ruined my life these past three years, hi. Tell me mom how should I approach that. Should I be formal and say hello? Or kick back on the sofa with them and talk about how miserable my life has been since they took away my best friend?"
"Rikki Demetria Rockwall. You apologize right now!" My mom scolded me.
"No Lynnette, it's okay." Andy gave a sympathetic smile.
"I don't need your sympathy. I'll be in my room mom." I said before walking up the stairs and slamming my door as loud as I could.
There was no way in hell I was getting attached again. From this point on, I have to act like I hate them.
I have to act like I hate him.
