They Adopted Me

Regrets

Day of Break Up

Travis looked out his window. Living across from Alex, he got the perfect view of her room. He remembered their late night talks. But now because of being an idiot he lost her. It was an understatement to say he is regretful. He hates himself for making him break up with Alex. And for what? To be strong. Alex could always help him to do that.

He looked out her window and what he saw broke him. In her bed was Alex. She was holding herself. She couldn't see him, but he could see her. He could see her tear stained face. He could see her red puffy eyes. He could see she was heart broken. And he was too. He walked towards his window. With each step he could hear her, ever sob, every word, every sharp breath. The closer he got, the more his eyes became filled with tears. Until he finally reached his window. And he heard her.

I wasn't good enough for him. Her words echoed in his mind. And those were the words that set the final piece to fall. One tear fell, than another, and another, and until they streamed down his face. He wanted to scream that she was good enough. He wanted to run to her house and hug. He wanted to kiss her and say sorry a hundred times. He wanted to go on his knees and beg her to forgive him. But he couldn't. All he could do was be quiet and listen.

He gripped the window sill and shut his eyes close. And when he did her sounds stopped. He opened them, and there he saw Roman comforting her. He saw the way he swayed her. He heard her laughs, he loved her laugh. He saw as she fell asleep with a smile. And now it was only him.

Day of Jayden Asking Her Out

He looked from a far. Yeah it's been a few weeks, but he still loved her. Her smile, her eyes, her everything. And there his heart broke a bit when he saw her say yes. But he couldn't be mad. Why? Because if he didn't let her go, this would have never have happened. And now he had to deal with the consequences.

He saw as she looked at herself in the mirror. She looked amazing, but he couldn't tell her. He remembered the way she dressed when they went on dates. He would always compliment her on her beauty. And now another guy would be doing that. Not him. He saw as Logan reasurred her of how nice she looked. He hated that. Not Logan, but the thought of her not looking nice. She always looked nice. More so with her glasses. He sighed and closed his window.

Day of Revenge

He was casually walking when he passed the hall. It was Alex talking with the blonde girl in his class. He didn't want to be nosy, he just accidentally over heard their conversation. And when he heard that Jayden stood her up, he was furious. That was until he saw Alex leave. He saw as she poured the milk over his head. He wasn't that shock. It was Alex he was talking about. She didn't take bullshit from anyone. He smiled. And then she smashed the cake in his face, he died. He laughed so hard.

Day of Dance

Travis entered the dance. He didn't want to go, but his adopted mom made him go. She said he needs to get out more. He used to go out a lot, with Alex. But after the break up that stopped. His mother was worried, he never acted like this. She thought going out would be a good thing for him. So she made him go.

He wore the out fit he bought himself when he got Alex her dress. He remembered all their plans, plans that would never happen.

As he looked around, something caught his eye. Or more like someone. It was Alex, wearing the dress he got her. She looked beautiful as always. But than he realized she was dancing with one of her guardians. He sighed and walked away. That was supposed to be him dancing with Alex. He wasn't jealous, he was just sad. He fucked things up, he fucked them up really bad. But maybe he could make things better. Maybe if he said sorry and tried to ask for forgiveness, they could fix things. Start things all over again. That maybe, just maybe, he had a second chance.
