Chapter 15 - More Than My Money

I didn't sleep a wink last night. I tried but couldn't. There is one person who's been on my mind. Should I text him. Why not.

From: Chris 👑
Have you ever been in love?

Shit that got real personal real quick.

Ring! Ring!

Incoming Call: Chris 👑

Oh shit. Well I can't decline, he knows I'm up.

"Hello," I answer.

"Hi," he breathes out.

"I don't know," I answer his question.

"What do you mean," he asks.

"I thought once I was in love. But I don't think I really know what love is," I answer truthfully.

"Me neither. Not anymore at least," he says.

"What do you mean," I ask.

"There was once this one girl when I was 15 to 16ish. Almost 17. I was head over heels for her. I know it sounds dumb a 15 year old boy in love," he replies.

"No. It doesn't. I-I I was 15 too" I answer.

"Well there was this one girl. Who I loved. One day she cheated on me. Well one day I caught her. She had been cheating on me."

"I'm sorry," I whisper.

"We were together for almost three years. She broke me," his voice cracked. "If I'm being honest that's why I've got labeled as a playboy. I thought if I'd do the heartbreak I wouldn't have to experience it again," he continues.

"Wasn't worth it," he whispers.

"When I was with Adam I thought I was in love. I was really just a dumb 15 year old," I laugh at the memory. "I thought when you're in love you have to show it or they'd leave. So I gave Adam my virginity," I say. Silence so I continue.

"He kept asking for more than I wanted to give so I gave in. I thought I was in love and that's what you do," I laugh at myself.

"I didn't want him to leave like my dad, my best friend. So I stayed with him. Then he became toxic and I still stayed. He'd verbally abuse me.

We were an on and off relationship. I kept crawling back to him because he'd sweet talk his way. So yeah," I finish off. There's still more but I think this is enough for today.

"Wow. Can I ask you something," he says.

"You just did," I joke. I could hear him release a chuckle on the other end.

"Do you still love him. Adam I mean," he questions.

"No. I don't think I ever did and even if I did, no not now and not ever again," I answer.

"Good," he says.

"Do you still love your mystery girl," I ask.

"No,"
