Something Real

Chapter two! I'm still in love with you

           (Carla's POV)

"You've been fucking Samuel?!" Ander says with a stunned look on his face.

I didn't know what to say or do in that moment so I did the only rational thing you can do in that situation, I just stared at Samuel who looked just as dumbfounded as I did.

"We've been hanging out." I answer trying to be vague.

"Sooooo, you have?" Cayetana asks.

"Yeah we have." Samuel says answering the previous question.

"Holy shit!" Guzmán yells with rage in his voice.

Before we could tell what was happening I saw Guzmán run over to someone and punch them, that's when I realized who it was.

"Polo!" Cayetana yelled sounding concerned.

The first thing I did after I heard Polo's name was look over at Carla, there's a scared impression on her face and she looks like she doesn't want to have to deal with her psycho ex boyfriend right now but she just runs out of class and leaves the school, I was going to run after her but it was useless to bother her because she's still mad at me and with that I just left Las Encinas and biked home.

Later that day

As I was approaching my house I saw Carla waiting outside my building.

"Hey, what are you doing he-" Before I could finish she ran over and hugged me. I didn't know what else to do except hug her back. After she was done hugging me I felt a hard slap on my left cheek.

"What the fuck!" She snapped at me.

"Shouldn't I be the one saying that to you!" I reply.

"You fucking told the cops!" She yelled.

"I knew they wouldn't try you, you're rich and a marchioness's daughter, I knew your lawyer would get you off in a heartbeat." I explain to her.

"You didn't know that!" She yells again.

"Look I'm sorry okay. Polo needed to go away for what he did!" I said back.

"Well apparently the cops thought otherwise." She said back in a quieter voice before walking away.

"Carla wait!" I said hoping she would turn back, but she didn't.

(Carla's POV)

Later that day

When Samuel said my name I wanted to turn around, so bad but I don't know if I'll ever be able to trust him again. My thoughts were interrupted when I felt something hit me on the back of the head at first I didn't realize who had hit me until I saw his face, it was Polo, the same Polo who had just been released from police custody because I told them that he killed Marina. I screamed even though I knew no one would be able to hear me, since is was 3:30 on a Thursday I knew both my parents would be at work and our maid only comes on Monday's, Wednesday's and Friday's I knew it was no use. I kept screaming until I realized that since I've known Polo for so long I knew him the best out of anyone and if anyone was going to talk him out of something it was going to be me.

"Polo you don't have to do this." I said in a calm and collected voice.

"Shut up!" He yelled. I could tell there was something off, he looked like he was on drugs or something. He looked the exact same as he did after he killed Marina.

"What so you're just gonna kill me? Like Marina?" I asked hoping to get a rise out of him. It worked because next thing I know his hand was gripping my throat against a wall and I couldn't breathe.

"Yeah maybe I will, or maybe I'll just kill your boyfriend, after all he was the one who turned us in wasn't he?"

"Go ahead kill him I don't care about him I told you I was only with him so that he didn't tell the cops about what you did. I yelled at him.

"You really think that you can pull one over on me after all these years?" He said back in a chillingly calm voice.

"Who says I can't?" I say back.

"Please you're totally in love with him even if you don't realize it."

Deep down I knew he was right and I knew that if I kept avoiding the inevitable it would only hurt more for the both of us.

"Carla!" I heard Samuel yell.

Dammit Samuel you're gonna the both of us killed I thought to myself.

"If your boyfriend try's to come in here I swear to god Carla I'll kill him" He whispered in my ear.

"Carla look I'm sorry! I'm in love with you okay and I'm sorry for what I did but Polo deserves to rot in prison for what he did to Marina!" He yelled at the front of my house.

My heart dropped when I heard him shake the door knob the next thing I knew my lips were on Polo's. I didn't know what to do and I knew that if Samuel actually knew that Polo was going to hurt me he would try to stop him and only get hurt in the process so I kissed him, I kissed Polo so that the guy I like doesn't get hurt. I really thought I was protecting him until I saw his face, he looked so heart broken but I still kissed Polo because I didn't know what else to do.

"What the fuck!" He yelled.

"So are you guys dating again? Oh or maybe you're plotting your next murder now that you didn't get tried for the first one. You know what Carla? Fuck you!" He yelled before slamming my front door.

I was glad he was gone and safe until reality set in. Polo grabbed my face and started kissing me again and when I tried to pull away he pushed me up against he wall again and continued to kiss me. I couldn't take fighting anymore so I just froze.

"Carla, I knew you still love me." He said continuing to kiss me.

Except I didn't love him. I love Samuel.
