I kept walking around and around and around and I was getting tired. I was walking back home when I saw a familiar figure. When I got close I saw it was Cole but he wasn't alone. He was standing there with this girl who could pass of as a model. Long strawberry blonde hair, long legs, and a beautiful smile.

She was the definition of beautiful.

I felt this gnawing pain in my chest

I felt this gnawing pain in my chest. Like someone stabbed a knife into my heart. It stung like hell watching them  like that. And to make it all worse he's kissing her. Not those quick kisses, those stupid tongue kisses and I was just there watching them. I couldn't move, my legs were glued to the ground.

Like as if he sensed someone was watching , he looked towards my direction and our eyes lock. His held no emotions, he was just staring at me before she tugged at his arm and he turned around to face her.

I was just there looking at them till they left.

Why am i feeling like this? Why does it hurt so much? I don't really know the guy so why do I feel like absolute shit right now.

Because you're beginning to have a crush on him.

My subconscious tells me.

How can I possibly have a crush on someone I can't even stand. This is so messed up. Maybe my mind is just playing games with me.

The honking of a car brought me out of my reverie and that's when I realize I was standing in the middle of the road.

I quickly run towards my house. It wasn't too far from here. When I got inside I went to the tree which was automatically my sacred spot and I sat there while the events of today ran through my mind.

A single tear escaped from my eyes.

Cole's POV

Nichole came earlier than I expected and Olivia wasn't to happy about it. She kept giving her the stink eye.

She said its been a while she came here so she wanted to walk around. We were almost close to the house when we just stopped and we started talking. I made her laugh while she attempted to make me laugh. I said attempted that means it didn't work but I pretended too anyway.

Then she gave me the look. You know that look a girl gives you when she wants you to kiss her. Yeah that look.

I did as the lady wanted. I kissed her. She wrapped her hands around my neck while I pulled her even closer to me. I pulled back for air. But I felt like someone was watching me. And when I turned around she was there. The person I wanted out of my thoughts. She was there just staring at me. I had the sudden urge to go to her but when Nichole tugged my arm and smiled at me I decided not to.

I put my arms around her and we walked away. I knew she was there looking at us but I didn't care one bit.

When we got home. I looked for Olivia but she wasn't home so me and Nichole went up to my room and when I closed the door she pulled me in for a kiss.

I slowly picked her up and wrapped her legs around me and pinned her to the wall. I broke the kiss and went for her neck, delivering small kisses down her neck then upward.

She slowly lifted my shirt off and I turned around to place her on my bed. She was laying back flat on the bed and I was on top of her kissing and unbuttoning her shirt. When I  heard a knock on my door. I ignored it at first but the person was pretty persistent.

I could see the disappointment in her eyes but she just shrugged and fixed her shirt.

When she was done, I went to open the door. It was Olivia.

"Hey Olivia. How can I help you? " I ask her.

"I just wanted to see if you were home. I didn't hear you come in. " oh so she was home.

"I just got in not quite long. " I say to her. She eyed me up and down and looked into my room. She found Nichole sitting on my bed and she looked back to me and shook her head before leaving.

I close the door behind me and put on my shirt. I wasn't in the mood for anything again.

I sat beside her on the bed and she put her head on my shoulder.

"That girl we saw earlier. It looked like you knew her. " she said. So she saw her too.

"She's just my neighbor. Nobody important. " I told her.

Nobody important Cole? Wow.

My subconscious said.

I'm a shitty person I know. No need to remind me.

We just sit here not saying anything and I start to regret letting Nichole come here.

I needed a breather. I pulled out a pack of cigars from my pocket and I lit it. Taking a long drag, I look at Nichole whose looking at me.

"You still smoke? " she asks.

"Only when the occasion calls for it. " I answer back.

But what was the occasion? I didn't know.

I took one last drag and put out the smoke.

"I don't think you're happy I'm here. " wow! Thank God she knew.

"What made you say that? " I ask her.

"Well you're not even paying attention to me. You zone out every five minutes. I feel unwanted. " I'm sorry Nichole but my mind is on a certain someone.

I knew if I didn't do something now she'll keep sulking so I pull her in for a hug and she hugs me back. Then I lift her chin up and crash my lips on hers.

Maybe that would get her to shut up. I finally break the kiss and lie down, she joins me and rests her head on my chest.

She had already slept off, when I stood up and walked to the balcony of my room. From here I could see the back of Diane's house. I don't know why but I kept looking hoping I'd see a particular someone and I do.

I find her sitting under a tree just staring into space till she gets up. I keep staring at her till she walks inside the house.

I smiled at the thought of her sitting under that tree everyday. I'm starting to have a soft spot for Lily.

Is it good or is it bad?

I'm yet to find out.
