No paro de repetirme que todo esto no puede ser real, que no es posible que se haya casado de sopetón en medio de la nada, que mi madre es una persona responsable, que no haría algo así, que no me haría algo así. Pues lo ha hecho. Y no solo eso, sino que ahora tenemos que mudarnos, tenemos que cruzar todo el país para vivir con ese hombre y con su hijo; tengo que dejar mi instituto, mis amigos, y mi novio, y todo ¿para qué? Para que mi madre pueda vivir su sueño adolescente y hacer como si todo lo que hemos tenido que superar durante años no hubiese existido. Lo que sí que no esperaba, y esto lo digo completamente enserio, era tener que convivir con alguien como Nicholas. Alto, ojazos azules, pelo negro como la noche... ¿suena genial verdad? Pues no, un rotundo no. Le odio... y bueno, él también me odia a mí. La cosa es ver quien termina por matarse antes... Porque os lo digo de todo corazón, Nicholas Leister ha sido creado para amargarme la vida. ¿Quién diría que iba a terminar enamorándome de él? Espero que os guste la historia de amor de Nick y Noah; he trabajado muy duro en ella y le tengo mucho cariño, la comparto aquí para que otros puedan conocerlos y enamorarse con ellos :) Culpa mía esta registrada en Safe Creative: con el código #1501142999966 por lo que no se puede copiar o plagiar o difundir por ningún medio. ¡¡Muchas gracias y espero vuestros comentarios, hacerme saber si os gusta!! ;)
