Take A Chance On Me || William Nylander

Part XXXVI

William's POV- November 2016

"What are you two doing?"

I turned to look at Kappy who gave Esme a hug before looking at the blonde who was looking down at his laptop. He was editing something on the screen, and I wasn't allowed to see. Esme told me no one was allowed to see.

"Finalizing my grad school applications"

Esmeralda was a sort of a genius who was majoring in Bioengineering. She was an incredibly smart and beautiful girl, Auston was a lucky guy.

"Is the bathroom safe to use?" I asked Kappy as I looked away from the screen of Esme's Macbook Pro.

Kappy grinned.

"Go and find out"

I scrunched up my nose and stood up making my way to the hallway. I opened the door to the bathroom and stepped inside. Once I did my business I washed my hands and opened the door. I made my way out of Auston's bathroom and walked down to the hallway to the living room.

"What did I miss?" I asked.

Esmeralda's best friend, George cleared his throat and looked at me as Kappy nodded.

"So this Ana girl, were you serious with her?"

I was going to kill Kappy later on because he was telling everyone my personal life.

"We didn't label our relationship because that's how she wanted it" I told him.

Esmeralda turned when we all heard the bathroom door close. 

"If you could talk with Ana again, what would you tell her?"

I looked at Kappy who was now standing in between George and I. I don't know why he was standing there considering I didn't really know George that well. He seemed like a cool guy, and he was Esme's best friend. He also looked vaguely familiar but I couldn't exactly pinpoint where I had seen his face.

"I'd say I was sorry for being scared of possibly being in a relationship. My ex-girlfriend messed me up a bit" I replied.

I didn't think I was going to fall in love with Mariana. I thought it was going to be a small fling, and she would would be gone in May. Boy was I wrong, and  an idiot.

"What if I told you that I can get this Ana to hear you out"

I hardly knew George, yet here he was telling me this. Then again he was a student at UCLA, and there was a chance he knew her.

"What?" I asked.

I didn't think I heard that right.

"Mariana is George's sister" 

My eyes widened as I looked at him. That's why he looked familiar, the pictures I had seen of him were either when he was a kid or him with incredibly long hair. It's crazy what a haircut could do to a person.

"You're her twin brother?" I asked.

George nodded and turned his laptop around to show me a picture of Mariana that he was editing. I sat down when I realized my legs were giving up on me.

"That's your Ana, right?"

I looked at the picture and nodded slowly as I felt a light push against my chest. If I didn't get a hold of myself I was going to have a panic attack.

"You broke my sister's heart"

I shook my head as I felt a push against my chest.

"I didn't mean to" I told him as my voice cracked.
