Remember Me

Chapter 10

Narrator's POV:

Lucia fell in love with any guy she dated, she didn't care if they were mean, sweet or stupid. She didn't like to be single. When her family started to get financial struggles and bad stability they moved to Chicago. Lucia was 14 at the time, she didn't know anyone and that scared her.

Until she met Lily, Lily was different from any girl she had known. Both she and Lily had just moved, so they had something to bond about. Lily made her feel loved and seen. She had always known she was different, she would always feel more attraction towards people who were shit to her.

She felt that she deserved that type of love, but she would always look at the good parts of the relationship. Suffering from a drug addict mother can really change a person.

She knew that she was in love with Lily after she was there for her after all the stuff she had gone through. No matter how many times they have broken up, she would always try to come back to her.

Her mom had taken a visual of their relationship and knew they were meant for each other but at the wrong time. After their recent breakup, Lucia felt guilt and pain from their breakup. Not from the breakup but how they broke up.

She spilled her heart out for lily, but she didn't return the favour and worst of it all she told her that she wished she never met her. She cried every night until one day at the library she met juce. She didn't feel any attraction from him but rather that he was cute.

He asked her about the breakup, and she noticed on how he looked at her. She then came up with a plan to get back at lily. Nothing is worse than realizing that your best friend is with your ex. She knew how lily gets jealous and how she acts out on them. It scared her and attracted her even more.

She pretended to fall for his bad pickup lines. His ego made her disgusted, but it just increased her desire for Lily. She tried to keep tabs on Lily secretly by asking random related questions about Lily to Luce.

He barely gave her any information besides the fact that she always goes to this café she always talks about. Lucia knew that it had to be for a reason because lily doesn't drink at cafés.

Why did she go there? Lucia questioned as she made him and her friends head to the café in the early morning. She inspected the small place she could buy with one coin.

How could Lily like this place? What was so special about it? Lucia thought until she saw her. She saw how she was so different from any other girl. How she looked like she couldn't care less about anything, how she cropped her shirt that looked like it was cut with scissors. For a second, she started to think back to the time when Lily and her were making love, lily's mind was at somewhere else.

Or someone.

How can she like someone like her? At trash whore Lucia thought to herself as she watched how the girl took glances at them as she knew them. Lucia noticed how juce spread his arm around her making his claim.

Lucia tried to make her intimidated by them, and she thought it worked until she saw how she left the store. She saw how she was smoking and felt disgusted already until her heart thumped seeing who she feared. She saw how lily looked at the girl the same way she used to look at her but this time it was different. Lily painted the girl like she was the only girl in her mind.

Lucia felt jealousy roaming through her spine as she watched the girl grip lily's hand and walked them away like they were having a forbidden romance. Lucia had to know what they were doing, so she made a lie about checking to see if the car was locked.

She headed out and followed their trail. She saw how they went to the back of the café and her heart became smaller to the point, it became envious. She hid herself watching how they spoke to each other. Her eyes widen when she saw Lily lean in for a kiss and how they consoled each other. 'She never expected her to move on so fast after so many years of commitment.

Now she's watching her slip away from her fingers. She needed to fix this situation fast. She still decided to wrap Luce around her finger as she would wake up around 5:30 in the morning on a Monday.

She wore more makeup than before. Dressed more seductively but cute at the same time. She had only had Lily on her mind as she sprayed the perfume that would always make Lily crazy for her or so she thought.
