Chapter 18 PT1;

The picture showed two kids. One looked awfully like Marcus, and one looked like a younger version of Maria.

There arms were across each others shoulders and they were smiling widely into the camera. It looked like they were about 9-10 years old.

"Is..is this Maria?" I asked, surprised, my eyebrows raised.

He stood up and snatched the photo away from my hands, and replied, with so much pain in his voice,"Yes, this is Maria."

My eyes widened and my jaw dropped.

"Tell me everything." I said, softly.

"Maria's parents and mine were the best of friends, always inviting each other's families to occasions and gatherings, and that led to Maria and I being really close. About to the age of 12, she got mad at me for hanging out with her best girl-friend and ditching her, so we got into a huge fight. After that, we we're cruel and evil to each other, basically turning into enemies. Until we turned 15, she had moved away and I never got to tell her my feelings, even though we were enemies, I still loved her..." He trailed off, a stray tear rolled down his cheek.

"Oh Marcus," I said giving him a hug, I felt so bad for him, knowing someone he loved left him.

"And now...I feel all the feelings I felt for her coming back, and I'm not sure if I'm even gay anymore." He said.

"Don't worry, whatever you choose, just remember I am here for you, forever and always." I said softly, making sure he knew that.

"Your a good friend, Ash, I hope you know that." He said and smiled.

"Good friend?! I thought I was a great friend!" I said playfully and gasped.

He laughed and gave me a noogie.

I glared at him.

~~~~~~~~~~

"Are you ready?" I asked Marcus, about to knock on Maria's house door.

He exhaled and replied shakily, "Yeah. I am."

I raised my hand and knocked on the door, I could hear Marcus's heart pounding. He was tense as he shifted on his feet, breathing in and out, a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.

"Calm down, relax." I whispered in his ear, and he sort of relaxed.

MARCUS'S POV

(A/N: I sort of owe you guys this for the long wait and the mean cliffhanger :P)

Maria opened the door in all her beauty. Her straight brown hair was open and flowing across her chest, she was wearing jeans with a normal t-shirt, and yet she looked so damn gorgeous.

"Hi Natasha." She said and smiled widely, and then she saw me and her smile vanished. "Marcus." She said, emotionless.

"Maria." I said in the exact same tone as she did.

"Well then, come inside." She said, clearing her throat.

"Maria honey, who's at the door?" A very familiar voice called from the doorway connecting the foyer and the kitchen.

"Just some..friends." She replied, hesitating on the word 'friends'.

"Well come on and let me give you guys some snacks!" Maria's mom replied, happily.

Maria led us to her kitchen and let us sit at her dining table, the exact same one from 4 years ago. Maria's mom turned around from the counter ant gasped.

"My god! Is that you Marcus?!" She exclaimed, shock in her eyes.

"Hey Mrs.Hernandez." I replied.

"Boy, get up and give me a hug right now! How is your mom and dad doing? God knows how long I haven't talked to them." She said in a thick Hispanic accent.

"They're doing good," I replied.

"That's nice, tell them I said alright? And make sure you guys all come over one day and we can catch up just like good times, now , where are my manners? Who's this pretty lady with you?" She asked curiously.

"His best friend, miss, nice to meet you, I'm Natasha Gomez."

"Nice to meet you darling, now, do you speak Spanish?"

"No, I'm half though, my father is Spanish, while my mother speaks French, so I'm a bit of half." Natasha replied.

I inhaled and deeply regretted it because I inhaled a lot of Maria's scent making my wolf go crazy.

I looked up at her and she was staring into space, a small smile on her beautiful face. I wondered what she was thinking about, a past boyfriend-my wolf growled at that- or maybe a memory of our childhood?

Sorry for the long wait , I have no excuse but that I didn't have any motivation to write , so I'll post when I can soon.

Did you guys suspect that he knew Maria? Most likely right? XD coolioss.

PS. I'm writing a short romance which hopefully I'll be posting soon here's the summary and if you like it, read it! when I post it though, LOL.

There will be a couple of changes maybe, so yeah....

(ITS CALLED TOO LATE)

Sophia Lockhart was in love with Tyler Greene.

Those two were never seen anywhere without each other.

People though that they would live happily ever after with two kids living in a two story house with a white picket fence.

The normal cliché.

But when Tyler suddenly breaks up with Sophia, day after they leave highschool, Sophia decides to leave to fulfill her dream of becoming a author.

When she comes back, 4 years later, a 22 year old young woman, she finds out that Tyler is engaged. With who, you ask? Her best friend in high school. Burn.

P.P.S.

I'm working on another story, (ANOTHER ONE? You guys are probably wondering. LOL)

It's gonna be called

'Brothers Best Friends Brother'

Confusing? I know.

Here's the description (not official though)

I remember the first day I met him.

His blue/green eyes sparkled staring at me from across the table, talking to my brother, but staring intently at me. Here I was thinking that he liked me but, I was just the girl next door, who had moved in just a couple days ago.

He became my brothers best friends brother....whom I'm in love with.

P.P.P.S
