Secrets

Chapter One: Prologues

"I love you Rowan." He said when he pulled away and smiled down at me.

"Love you too..." I whispered and hugged him he held me for a long time then went to put some shorts and sneakers on too.

~Renzo Ransom~

"I love that sound..." I thought out loud to my goldfish, Cookie, as the rain ran down my roof the steady drumming of rainfall always calmed me down. My iPhone buzzed I looked over at it and frowned it was Camilo... again. Hadn't he done enough already? I picked it up against my better judgment.

"What the hell do you want now money, to borrow the car? How about to sleep with another one of my friends? Or how about that whore or the other one you know the whore?" I said hatefully.

"Just wanted to talk... I guess it was a bad idea." he said quietly, "Don't call them whores either they're my friends."

"Whatever Camilo, I'm done this time and I mean it D.O.N.E. stop calling just to talk because I don't wanna hear it. You broke my heart no that's an understatement actually your tore my heart out and ran it over repeatedly then picked it up, dropped it and then stomped on it some more then picked it up and put it back in my chest and tried to duct tape it! Do me a solid and leave me alone." I said hanging up I through my phone and leaned against the wall. Why is the world spinning so fast? Or was it just me? I sank to the floor and started crying my phone buzzed again. "Shut the hell up!" I yelled at it but it continued to buzz it stopped finally. I put my head in my lap and cried some more my phone buzzed once more. I got up and looked at the phone it was Rowan, I smiled she always knew what to say to me to make me smile.

"Hello?" I sniffled drying my tears and plopping on my couch.

"Ren are you ok? Are you crying honey? Is it Camilo? I swear I'll kick his ass if he hurt you again." She said seriously I couldn't help but laugh a little.

"I'm fine; I'm finally done with him... You really shouldn't waste your time on him but don't be afraid to nut check his dumb ass next time you see him. So what’s up with you never calling me anymore what's up with that?" I said turning to my back putting my feet in the air and let out a tiny fart.

"Well I was going to ask... Did- did you just fart?"

"Erm... No it was my cat?

"You don't have a cat Renzo! Ew Ren you're so gross!" She laughed at me I laughed too I don't know how but she could take the worse times and make them the best times.

"Excuse me!" I giggled, after our laughter died down I asked, "But seriously what did you wanna ask?"

"Well I know we're both leaving for college in a few days and was wondering if you wanted to come over for dinner, Matt just went on a trip up north to visit his family for a couple weeks...Please come!" She said I could almost hear her face scrunch and her fingers cross.

"Uh duh I'll come!" I said flipping off my couch and running to my room I slid into the wall accidentally knocking a picture to the ground. I ignored it threw my phone on my bed and went to my closet pulling out my cutest outfit.

"Um Renzo I'm still here!" Rowan squeaked through my phone speaker.

"Oh yeah OMG sorry Row, hey I'll call you when I'm on my way. K love you bye!" I said and practically hung up on her.  This was a perfect opportunity for me to rant about Camilo. I realized there was a small stack of mail on my dresser I looked through the envelopes all but one was addressed to Camilo. I opened the one addressed to me I turned it upside down a key and a single sheet of paper fell out I flipped the letter open to read it.

"Ms. Ransom, you have been selected to reside in an all-inclusive beautiful beachfront property on behalf of Argosy University. It is located in Santa Monica, California, in the envelope there will be a key to the home. The address is 420 Ocean Avenue the home is fully furnished and will be supplied with food and will be cleaned weekly. If you do not wish to live in the home, the key will become invalid after a week. Thank you and we hope you enjoy your stay." I held the key up and smiled and danced around my room. This was the perfect opportunity to forget Camilo. I looked to the ceiling, smiled and whispered "Thank you."
