This chapter is based of a song from Beabadoobee called the way things go.

Please read it with the music <3

                         ..........

Today was the day of my cousin's Quinceañera and i was getting ready to go shopping with my cousin..

I thought about what happened a few days ago...

The way my father just forgot about everything....

When he touched my mom...

When he slept with another woman..

How could he forget?

About everything that has happened over the past few years...

He wasn't even at her funeral....

It made my blood boil...

It broke my heart that he forgot...

I used to love him..

but now....

I can't remember how to say his name

"Can't remember how to say ur name"

I can't even remember the freckles on his face.

"Let alone count all the freckles on ur face."

I used to know him so well, now's he's just a distant memory...

"A distant memory I used to know."

But that's just how life is...

Right?

"Oh,i guess that's just the way things go..."

"Oh,i guess that's just the way things go..."

I remember when he said he'll call me..

"Can't remember when you said you'd call."

He was so far away...

"Miles away.."

I just feel all this was my fault.
"And it was still my fault."

Remember when i said Italy felt like home,well it doesn't anymore..

It makes me want to throw up.

"Oh,i guess that's just the way things go..."

"Oh,i guess that's just the way things go..."

                       ............
| Miles POV |

I walked to the room Stella and i were sharing and opened the door,Stella looked at me with puffy eyes...

Was she crying?

"Yo,u ok?"i asked her as i walked up to her, with my hands in my pocket.

"I'm fine..." She said as she sniffed and moved up from her seat and went to the bathroom.

I followed her and leaned on the wall.

'i wonder what's up with her, she's been so quiet and weird lately..'
I thought to myself.

Soon she came out the door and looked at me.
"What's up with you?"
I asked her.
"I said I'm fine."
She said, firmly as she brushed past me, her scent following her as she did.

I stared at her deeply.

She avoided me and continued to do her hair.

I just kept quiet and walked out the door again.

Man,is she pissed or what?

                        ............




|Stella's POV|

When Miles finally left the room,i got up and put on my boots.

The warm afternoon breeze hit my face as i walked out the hotel.

My cousin was fan girling over Miles,she didn't even notice me.

Ouch, that kinda hurt.

"Hello to you too Ellie.."
I folded my arms and looked at her.

"OMG! Stella!"

My cousin ran up to me and wrapped her skinny arms around me.

"I missed you príma.."she said softly, her hazel eyes staring into mine.

"I missed you too.."i said as i wrapped my arms around her.

My cousin's name was Ellie,she was named after my mom.
She had curly (4a type) hair and
hazel eyes, she was a little skinny.
She looked so grown.

That uneasy feeling from earlier went through my body,i brushed it off and started to talk.

"Anyways this is Miles."
I said softly as i pointed to Miles.
"Wassup." Miles said.

My cousin went feral over him
"Omg,u even sound attractive."
She said as she put her hands on her face.

"Ur too young for me anyways."
Miles said as he walked off.

"Wait! How old are you?"
She asked as she ran up to him.

"Old enough to date ur cousin."
He smirked at he looked at me.

"What does that mean?"
I asked him.

"Nothing, just saying what can actually happen"
Miles said as he put his hands up and walked.
My cousin put his arm over her shoulder and giggled.
Miles threw off her arm and walked at a faster pace.

Man this trip is really gonna be something else.

"Oh,i guess that's just the way things go..."
