Past relationship

As I stared at Brian, Elise quickly came in between us.

She probably didn't want me falling for him again, I knew I wouldn't. I just can't believe he is shameless enough to even approach us

5 Years ago, when I and Elise were in our 1 st year in high school,That was when we saw Brian, he was the center of our school attention back then.

Everybody was talking about him, so I and Elise, being curious went to catch a glimpse of him under the tree.

He indeed looked like an angel fallen from the sky, I remember how my heart thumped and how many butterflies were in my stomach.

Amongst all the girls, Elise was the one who dared to approach him, he was kind enough to accept her offer for friendship.

And coincidentally I was also Elise friend. The three of us started doing things together although he wasn't in same class as us but we made it work.

He was rich, popular, and handsome, I often felt belittle around him, so I couldn't tell him that I liked him.

Elise wanted to help me but I declined, I didn't want him thinking that I was taking advantage of his friendship with Elise.

So I waited, I was waiting that brief moment that would just feel right so I could confess my love to him.

But it never came, until one day when Elise left the car to buy us some pasta.

Brain started w conversation with me.

"Uhh, so you are oriana sister" he asked

Out of everything he could choose to ask why ask about oriana.

"Not sisters, cousin" I said as I stared outside wishing Elise would come back soon.

"Are you two not close"

"Sort of"

"Ohh, but you do know a few things about her right " he said

I didn't respond to that because I actually knew everything about her.

"Do you know her favorite clothes brand, I was thinking about buying her some clothes " he had that look in his eyes that I had when I was talking about him.

I stared at the rare view mirror, feeling really sad

"They are many" I said

"Name them All" he said

He was instructing me to name what my cousin likes even though I just told him I didn't like her

"She Gucci, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Fendi... She likes every expensive brand in the world" I said

"What about shoe" he asked turning back with excitement all over his face.

"She likes anything, as long as it is expensive" I told him

"Well she is worth every cent" he smiled.

Elise came in so he turned back to the front.

Elise noticed my mod.

"What were you two talking about"

She asked.

"Just asking her a few questions" he giggled

Elise turned to me and I forced a smile.

I looked out side for the rest of the ride not making a single sound.

The car stopped at my house and as anticipated Brian invited himself inside.

Elise immediately understood what was happening. She walked beside me while Brian was behind.

"You okay" she whispered softly

"Yeah, I am" I was lying and she knew

She held my hand with a gentle squeeze.

I smiled slightly and went inside.

Brian met oriana at the door, they both talked for a while. I watched this scene from a window, hiding behind a curtain desperately not wanting to be seen by Brian.

Oriana saw me so she leaned in and gave Brian a kiss.

In all of this I was still just 14 years old, so was Elise, we were young high schoolers.

After that he and oriana dated for a year before she broke up with him.

I remember Brian crying while me and Elise consoled him, I remember how held my hands begging me to talk to oriana for him.

And I did that, I went to oriana to talk

"What do you want" she said as I entered her room while she was polishing her nails.

"It's about Brian" I saw her mood change to something mischievous

"Are you here to beg" she asked sarcastically

"Will you accept him back if I did" I asked

"I don't know for sure yet, you can kneel while I think about it" she said.

"..." I was going to say I wouldn't kneel but images of Brian begging me came flooding

And I might as well just beg her for him.

So I knelt down. She smiled

"Aren't you going to plead for what you want"

"Please take Brian back" i said.

"I didn't hear that clearly"

"Please take Brian back" i repeated this time louder than before.

"Oh my poor little sister, actually I just told Brian I wanted you to kneel, so he came up with the plan to use a fake break up to get you. Isn't he just smart"

I was trying my best to process what she just said when she added "and sis don't think he doesn't know that you like him, he does. That how he knew you would kneel if I asked you to"

And just like that I had my first heart break, but I guess it didn't shatter enough because I forgave him.

But that wasn't the end for him and her. They were both after me, they kept coming like a nightmare.

The day eventually came when I couldn't take it no more. I was 16 years old.

It was our prom night, Elise stood her date up to come with me.

Brian came to me to ask me to the dance.

"No" Elise answered for me

"Come on Elise, I'm not going to eat her" he said

"I can't be your date there because I already have one" I said.

"Aurelia this is your chance to get close to me" he said

Spending time with oriana, he was definitely becoming like her. .

"Don't worry Brian, I'll pass this one" I and Elise left him there.

I could see Elise proud face.

"I like the 16 years old you, baby" she said

"I also like me too" I felt glad a rejected him.

And that was a massive break through for me.

Once we stepped in to her car I felt my feet go numb and my hands were a bit shaky.

"You did great, you should rest now" Elise understood my body language too

I closed my eyes and slept for a while.

Prom day was finally here

Elise had my dress sent over to my house

I got dressed in a blue armless gown, with glitter on it. It was a fit and flare gown.

I went outside and Elise car was waiting for me.

I stepped in and we left for prom

Before I had gone out Brians car had come by to pick oriana up.

I was ready to end relationships as I ended high school
