She

Frozen

Ray's POV

After I take a nice quick shower I go back to the girls. I'm so glad Selena met Aubrey, I'm sure they had a great time together.

I go back and I see them, I quickly go to them looking at a cup of coffee.

Me: "I think that's for me, right?

Selena's POV

Me and Aubrey decided not to talk about Ray's past. I think it's better if we're both alone.

Me: "Yeah, take it. You must be really tired honey. Did you win?"

Ray: "Oh I see how much attention you had on the match."

Me chuckling: "I know which team won I just don't know in what team you played."

We all laugh. We're having such a great time. Aubrey is such a great company. I really enjoy spending time with her. I'm still shocked when I think of Phil though.

Anyway a hour and a half passes by and we are driving to drop Aubrey home. She lives so far away from Ray's block.

I got a text from dad "Where are you?"

I quickly reply telling him I'll be home really soon.

As we drive back we keep talking about random stuff but I can't stand it, I'll ask him about Phil.

Me: "Can we have a walk. It's a beautiful night."

Ray: "Whatever you want love."

We get out of the car and we enter in a small park walking enjoying the night and the music of the bars around us.

Me: "You never told me you had a tattoo."

I can see he didn't reply quickly, he's touched.

Ray: "It never came up, to discuss about tattoos."

Me: "I didn't really see what it was exactly."

Ray: "Don't expect me to take off my shirt, it's really cold."

He covers. Played it so good.

I chuckle saying "No honey I just want you to talk about it. I love tattoos."

He's frozen.

Ray: "I don't really wanna talk about it. It's a long story."

Well if he doesn't want to talk about, I can understand. It's such a loss.

Me: "Okay baby. Just wanted to know."

Ray takes a deep breath and start saying...

Ray: "It says 'You may be gone, but you're never over'. It's about a best friend of mine. A dead best friend of mine. His name was Philant. He was such a wise boy for that age. We were more like brothers, we always had each other's backs. And he died because of me. That's what the tattoo is about. He might be gone but his voice still bumps in my head yelling my name. I know Aubrey told you the story though."

As I was listening to him very carefully and really feeling his touching words I went like. Wait, what?

Me: "H-How do you know Aubrey told me?"

Ray: "Because I was throwing my eyes on you too while playing. I know that look of Aubrey. Don't worry I'm not mad at any of you."

I can see his eyes are full of pain. I can see it still hurts him. His beauty has no limit. His eyes his face his hair the way he breaths. Everything. Even when he looks hurt.

Me: "Yeah she told me and I was so shocked. It's such a big lose. He was your best friend. I don't think it was completely your fault though."

Ray: "Phil was such a smart guy. I remember when we were kids (chuckling) I was the one who used to bring all the troubles in the neighborhood and he was the one who used to clear that away. I so miss him. I'd never be like this if he was still here. It's only me, Edward and Harry now though."

Me: "You wouldn't be like this, like how? I don't get it."

Ray: "Come on it's getting late. Let's take you home baby."

I was like okay, I can see he's not feeling good mentally.

Ray's POV

Sooner or later she would ask about that. Anyway I'm really glad Aubrey told her. It's killing me from inside since that day. Anyway,

I take her home, she gives me a kiss before she leaves saying "I love you, we'll get you through this, together"

I smile realizing how much I need this new girl in my life. "Goodnight love."

Selena's POV

I go home I tell my parents I had a great time and I quickly go to the fridge to eat something. God I'm hungry.

Mom: "So did you and Emily enjoy the match?"

Me: "Yeah we know some of the boys, they go to our school."

Dad: "And I suppose Ray was there."

U chuckle.

Me: "Yeah he was."

I'm expecting something from dad, like you're getting too close or something like that.

Dad: "Is he really that good as he says he is?"

Me: "Dad I don't know much about football but he scored some goals." 

Dad: "I wish I was young again." He says as he throws his eyes back at his book.

I say goodnight and I go upstairs. I text Ray. "You home yet". He doesn't reply.

I don't feel like sleeping tonight. I think it's the coffee, and Ray's terrible story. I never thought of something like that. I stay on my bed as my thoughts run over my brain about that guy.

I'm learning new things about Ray everyday that I didn't imagine.

There might be a million bad stories about Ray but one thing is for sure. I'm madly and deeply in love with him. He changed my life, he's still changing it.
