15 - CHRISTOPHER

"I'm so sorry, Christopher." Zabdiel visibly winced as he sat down next to Chris. "I didn't think he would do that. He promised."

"Promised?" Christopher growled through the never ending tears. "You mean that you knew that this could've happened?"

"He's not saying that." Richard spoke up, his hard voice surprising the boys. "None of us thought that this would happen. Joel basically promised himself he wouldn't because of you."

"We didn't think it would happen. You know how Joel is... it didn't even cross our minds."

"Well, clearly we don't know him." Christopher numbly muttered. "They could both screw each other I don't care anymore."

"I'm sorry, hermano," Erick comforted with a small side hug.

"Yeah," Zabdiel weakly smiled. "You didn't deserve this."

"But he did!" Richard exclaimed baffled at Zabdiel's comment.

"Richard, don't start." Zabdiel warned with a noticeable death glare.

"No, Zabdiel," Richard scoffed. "Why should we feel sorry for him?"

"Ok, what's going on?" Erick questioned cluelessly.

"Oye que te pasa?" Christopher spat, wiping his face and standing up to confront the red-haired man.

"Don't act like a fucking saint, Christopher." Richard aggressively snapped back, moving forward as well. "What did you expect? Dímelo mi hermano, what did you expect?"

"Don't start with me, Richard!" Christopher heaved, wagging a finger at him.

"You cheated my man! You left her alone. And who helped her? Who cheered her up? Who gave her love? It sure as damn wasn't you! Nah, bro," Richard ruthlessly laughed. "Así no es. You broke her. You failed as her other half."

"Richard-" Zabdiel began but to his surprise, he was stopped.

"He's right..." Christopher hoarsely mumbled as he robotically sank back down in his seat. "This is all my fault. I drove her away; I took her for granted... I deserve this."

"Estoy... tan perdido." Erick whispered to himself, slumping into the couch.

Richard wearily sighed. "I'm sorry. No one deserves this but Christopher... you hurt Nina so much and Joel helped her. And for your bad luck, feelings just couldn't control themselves."

"Me siento tan estupido." Christopher cried into his hands.

"Chris... Chris! It's Nina!" Erick shouted with Christopher's phone in hand that was almost immediately snatched away.

I wish things didn't happen this way. I hope one day you can forgive me. I want you to know that I don't hold a grudge against you. I found out. Donna told me minutes before I got to church. I was always in denial about it... I didn't want to believe. I guess you could say that was my extra push. Joel was my first. Please don't hate him either we both didn't mean for things to happen this way. I want to ask why you did what you did but it doesn't matter anymore. You were my first true love and I will always hold you near my heart despite of everything. I wish you the best in life, Christopher.
