I woke up and as usual Chris had messaged me. I didn't open any of his messages,fuck him.
I got ready for school and got picked up by Matt,nick,kiara and him.
I greeted them except Chris. I don't want to fucking talk to him. I saw his hurt eyes but did he see mine?!
On the way Matt told us there's a party on Saturday which was tomorrow. Everyone agreed to go to the party and waited for my response.
"Nah,I'll go for a walk in the evening" I said
"We'll have fun,we'll meet you after the party at ours" nick said.
I agreed and walked in school. I saw Roberto and hugged him right in front of Chris.
I didn't care enough to think about how I'm hurting him.
The bell rang and I walked to class.
"Can I go to the bathroom?" I asked the teacher mid lesson.
She allowed me to go and I walked out.
I texted kia in the bathroom and she told me if I won't talk to him she won't talk to me.
I got angry with her and didn't answer anymore.
When I walked out of the bathroom Chris was standing there,I thought he also needed to go to the bathroom.
I walked past him until he grabbed me by my hand.
"How long will you ignore me? How long will you pretend I don't exist" he asked
"You don't,you're in Spain" I said and tried to walk off
"Well im sorry I had a lacrosse tournament. IM FUCKING SORRY" he yelled.
"There's no need to yell."
"You will just hurt me like this? Fucking leaving me right here? What the problem with you?" He asked
"I'm not the problem here,it's us" I said
"There is no us anymore. There's you fucking cheating on me"
"I never cheated,I hugged Roberto in a thankyou way "
"What the fuck have you been thanking him for? "
"I WAS THANKING HIM FOR BEING BY MY SIDE WHEN YOU FUCKING WERENT!" I yelled and he let go of me.
"I'm sorry" he said with a sad tone and hurt in his voice.
"Ok I don't care" I said and walked off
"I love you." He whispered.
I acted like I didn't hear it and just went back to class.
The bell rang and I went to the cafeteria.
Matt and nick were already sitting there and waiting for someone I thought was me.
"You can't sit here,I love you but you can't " nick said
"Why? What's the problem "
"What's the problem? Chris fucking ran home crying. I haven't seen him so hurt. If you don't talk to him we won't talk to you." Matt said and gave me a go away look.

I walked off angry,it's none of their business. Why are they acting like Chris is the victim here.
I went to the beach and cried. I cried for a long time until I felt a gentle tap on my shoulder.
It was Chris.

"No need to cry" he said
"No there is,nobody is fucking talking to me anymore. It's not their fucking business " I replied.
"Alexa,I'm sorry for everything,I'm sorry I didn't say goodbye. I'm fucking sorry"

But as Chris stood there, genuinely remorseful, Alexa couldn't help but notice the sincerity in his eyes. She took a deep breath, trying to calm the storm of emotions raging within her.

"Chris, it's not just about Spain," she finally spoke, her voice trembling. "It's about feeling abandoned, feeling like I wasn't worth a simple goodbye. It's about the pain I went through, thinking I meant nothing to you."

Chris nodded, his gaze fixed on the sand beneath their feet. "I understand, Alexa. And I'm truly sorry for the pain I caused you. I was foolish and thoughtless, and I regret it every day."

Tears welled up in Alexa's eyes again, but this time they were different. They were tears of conflicted emotions, torn between holding onto her anger and finding a way to heal. She wiped them away, trying to gather her thoughts.

"Forgiveness is not easy, Chris," she said, her voice wavering. "But holding onto this anger is eating me alive. I don't want to carry this burden anymore."

Chris looked up, hope flickering in his eyes. "Does that mean...?"

Alexa took a deep breath, summoning the strength to let go. "Yes, Chris. I forgive you."

A wave of relief washed over Chris, and he reached out to embrace Alexa. They stood there, holding each other tightly, as the weight of their past mistakes began to lift.

As the sun began to set, casting a warm golden glow over the beach, Alexa and Chris sat down on the sand, their hearts slowly mending. They talked for hours, sharing their fears, their dreams, and their hopes for the future.

In that moment, they realized that forgiveness wasn't just about letting go of the past; it was about giving themselves a chance to heal and grow. They vowed to communicate better, to cherish each other, and to never take their love for granted again.
As the sun was setting they talked and talked until Chris said it again.
"You're my star"
"And you're mine" Alexa replied

Their lips met in a tender and passionate kiss, a symbol of their renewed connection and commitment to each other. The kiss deepened, their bodies leaning into each other, as if trying to merge into one.

Time seemed to stand still as they lost themselves in the moment, their past mistakes fading into insignificance. They were fully present, savoring the taste of forgiveness and the sweetness of their love.

As they pulled away, their foreheads touching, they exchanged a knowing smile. They had come through a storm, but now they were stronger, more resilient, and ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.

"Did you bring your swim suit?" Chris asked
"Of course I did " she replied
They both laughed and swam in the ocean. It was so lovely. Chris held on to Alexa and they both met in a deep eye contact.
"I'm so glad you forgave me" he said

Nick was walking by the beach to see where Alexa was and why haven't she responded to any texts.
He saw them and took a picture.

NICK❤️
Me and Matt are looking at those two love birds.
KIAA❤️
YESS FINALLY

.......
We got out of the water and talked with them. It was so nice to talk again without any hatred or anger.
Time flew by and we got home. I was staying at their house for the night. I knew I will have to sleep in Chris's room tonight.
We talked and chilled for a while until it was already night. All of them went to sleep except me and Chris.

I went to his room and sat on his bed. We talked and cuddled until he couldn't help it anymore. He kissed me

......

and the room filled with a surge of passion. Their lips met once again, igniting a fire that had been smoldering between them for far too long. The kiss deepened, their bodies pressed against each other, as desire and longing took over.

They lost themselves in the moment, their hands exploring each other's bodies, their hearts beating in sync. The weight of their past mistakes and the pain they had caused each other seemed to melt away, replaced by a raw and intense connection.

As their lips parted, they gazed into each other's eyes, their breaths heavy with anticipation. Without a word, they knew they were ready to take this step, to rekindle the physical intimacy that had once been so natural between them.
"Will you be my girlfriend again?" He asked.
"Yes!" She replied.

They went to sleep as she fell asleep in his arms.
