my brother's best friend

avina's pov

i hear a knock on my door as i finished putting on a crewneck. it's probably ale. i walk to the door and open it, revealing my brother.

"hey, you okay?"

he walked in, sitting on the edge of my bed as i put my shoes on.

"better yea"

my head was pounding from how hard i've been crying so i gave him a simple response.

"where you going?"

he crossed his arms as he watched me grab my stuff. i had some simple black leggings on with a random white nike crewneck i found, probably ale's, and my black uggs. i sat next to him as i clipped my hair up.

"i've been trying to get ahold of mattia since that night and he hasn't answered once, until today. he picked up the phone and i asked to go over to explain myself and he said yea. that's where i'm headed to"

he sighed and rested his head on my shoulder.

"maybe, you need to give it time. don't you think you're rushing things a bit?"

i furrow my eyebrows and didn't respond.

"like, if he didn't respond, don't you think he might not be ready to talk to you? what if he needs more time?"

i took in his words and thought about the fact that he might be right. but i'm not going to give in that easily. i'm gonna see him.

"okay but, i didn't do anything. i didn't cheat on him. i wasn't hooking up with nathan. that was all a lie and he deserves to know. i'm not going to let him think i'm some sort of cheater when i'm not like that at all"

ale didn't say anything. he raised his head and gave me a nod. i smiled and brought him into a hug. he rubbed my back, calming my nerves a bit.

"i love you. text me when you're there and when you're coming back"

"i will, love you"

i walked out of the room, making my way downstairs. i unlocked the front door and headed out. the sky was very dark, considering it was almost one in the morning. very small raindrops fell from the gloomy sky as i walked to my car. i got in and headed to his house.

my head hurts so much.

...

and i'm here. i parked near his house and sat in my car. the raindrops became heavier and it was now basically pouring. reminds me of the times mattia and i would go out on late night walks in the heavy rain. i really need to stop doing this to myself.

"you're here now go talk to him"

i spoke to myself as i looked at the large door to his house. i sighed before i open the car door and make my way out. i feel the cold raindrops on my skin as i slowly walked up to his doorstep. i stood there, thinking about what alejandro had said. maybe he was right. i shouldn't have came. 

"fuck. why do you always do this, avina?"

i turn around, about to walk back to my car. then, the door opened widely, frightening me. i quickly turned around to see him standing there. his eyes red and glossy. it hurt me to see him like this. i couldn't stand seeing my baby like this.

we stare at each other. my hair soaked and my clothes drenched as i stood out there. he slowly approached me, our eyes not leaving each other. his dark hair sticking onto his face as he exposed himself to the rain.

he slowly raised his hand and placed it on my cheek once he reached me. his touch making me feel at ease at an instant. our faces dangerously close as the rain poured on us. his eyes burning holes in mine as he brought his face closer to mine. he looked down at my lips then back into my eyes.

finally, our lips touched. i wanted to cry at that moment. i missed his lips so fucking much. we moved at a slow pace, enjoying each other's presence. he wrapped his arms around my body, lifting me up. i wrapped my legs around his torso as both of my hands went to his cheeks, his soft cheeks.

we slowly pulled away, looking into each other's eyes once again. his beautiful honey-brown eyes i never want to look away from. we both smiled at each other as i a few tears escaped our eyes.

"god, i missed you so much"

he tells me.
