James Pierce
It's been a month since coco and I got together. And I have never been happier, I don't think I can live without her. I've never felt like this in any other relationship before. All of them were short lived and stupid and I didn't feel a drop of emotion when they ended, but if coco ever broke up with me, I think I would lose my mind.
This might sound like an exaggeration and you might think how could I be so sure of my feelings in just a month? But it's not just a month or just since she shifted here, it's been like this since I was a kid. I've just always loved her, I loved how sweet she was, I loved how easy it was to tease her, I loved her laugh and I loved her heart. That's probably why I hated her so intensely when I thought she hooked up with her best friend's boyfriend. It was like that quote, 'you can only ever hate someone that you truly loved'. When I thought I saw her doing that, it felt like she betrayed me, and all of that innocent girl personality was all just a facade. But I was wrong , and a complete idiot for even thinking she would do something like that, I should have just confronted her that day, it would have saved both of us all the heartache. I still hate myself for putting her through all that pain, she never did anything wrong and was always trying to be nice. I have a lot of repentance to do to be able to forgive myself and I'm going to repent by making her the happiest person ever and spoiling her, and pampering her and making sure she never ever feels even a tiny little bit of pain ever again.
So my next surprise planned is taking her home for Christmas, Thalia and I wanted to give her a surprise really badly, and we made her mom call her and tell her not to come home for Christmas cuz they'll be out, so she still thinks that the three of us are celebrating Christmas here, away from our family and even though she doesn't show it, Thalia and I know how sad she is, but it'll all be worth it when we get home. We can't hide it for long though cuz our flight is in two days so we are gonna have to tell her tomorrow.
"Guys let's get a tree, it really wouldn't feel like Christmas without one!" Coco says
"Umm I think not" Thalia replies.
"Why not?" Coco says and comes close to me. She wraps her hands around my neck and pouts, "jamiee? Don't you think we should get a tree?"
I laugh, and wrap my hands around her waist, "I'll get you one, can it wait for tomorrow though?" I say
"Yay! You're the best, I lo- " she pauses and clears her throat, "love Christmas!" She corrects but I know what she was going to say, I'm glad she didn't though, cuz I'm going to say it first.
"Me too" I say and kiss her.
"Ugh, I'm starting to hate this house" Thalia says, "maybe I should move in with Will"
"Don't you dare" I say , the audacity of that little girl, she just wants to get on my nerves!
"You realise, that you two are practically living together" she says
"No we aren't, like not in that way anyway" coco says
"Letty, are you sure? Just look at yourselves "
Coco pulls away, and releases herself from my arms but I pull her close again. "Where'd you think you're going?" I ask
"Are we really living together already? Aren't there supposed to be stages in a relationship? We have been dating for a month, this is going too fast"
"What are you so scared of? Dating doesn't have rules "
"Oh but it does, and we have got to follow them, things that happen too fast, fizzle out easily too "
"I can't believe you just said that!" I exclaim, how could she think like that, she has absolutely no faith in this relationship.
"James-" Thalia cuts her off, "okay, I didn't mean for this to happen, but umm, I guess this is a little bit of my fault, can you guys not- argue or anything, go back to being love birds"
"Not after what she just said" I say
"What I said was the truth, I didn't know you had a problem with facts!" Collette says
"Okay then, you guys umm, I think imma dip, I'll take the cue, you guys can go on I guess" Thalia says
"I'm not having this conversation any longer!" Collette says and walks off with Thalia. I can't believe she did that, it was so not like her, since when does she date with rules? Who dates with rules? What is wrong with her? It's all Thalia's fault, if she hadn't opened her mouth, we wouldn't be here right now!
We meet again for dinner, and I really think coco would not have shown up if Thalia hadn't dragged her.
"You guys are going to talk it out! Right now!" Thalia demands
"I dont want to talk to him" Collette says
"I'm not interested to talk to her either" i say
"How mature", thalia exclaims, "so you two are just going to umm not talk then? What is this supposed to mean?"
"Ask her, shes the one who thinks we aren't following the rules" i say mockingly
"It doesn't mean anything, we are just in a disagreement, it happens in a relationship" Collette explains
"Oh does it now? As long as its according to the rules" i say
"There we go, you are showing your true colours again" she replies
"Oh i'll show you my true colours-"
Thalia cuts me off, "WE ARE GOING HOME DAY AFTER!"
Ugh these two just can't keep secrets! But well, i'm so mad at coco right now that i don't even care about the stupid trip, its going to suck if she's going to be mad at me the whole time.
"We're what?" Coco asks
"It was gonna be a surprise but, well, basically, umm, you guys should make up before the trip, please" thalia says, "So im going to leave now and I hope you two can talk it out, okay? Capice?"
"Mm hmm" coco says and Thalia goes up to her room.
"You guys were going to surprise me?" She asks
"Mm hmm" i reply
"James, you've got to understand how i feel" she says
"I do, you dont trust me, or this relationship" i reply
"James, look I'm sorry if you felt like I don't trust you, but that's not what it is"
"Then what is it?"
"It's just that, we have been going out for only a month, there's really nothing you even know about me, and we shouldn't be living together already, it's too fast."
"Coco, what makes you think I don't know anything about you? Even though we have been dating only for a month officially, I've known you, your whole life, I know everything about you"
"Oh really? Is that why you thought I was a bitch for 6 whole years? Because you know everything about me?" She says and then immediately has a face full of regret. I'm usually the one who regrets telling her stuff, so at least she can be on the other side of that for once, but
I guess I knew she still had this somewhere in her heart, I hurt her and caused her so much pain, and even though the past month was amazing, she still doesn't trust me, it's only my fault though, I wouldn't trust me if I were her either.
"You're right, I guess we don't know each other at all" I say
"I guess we don't", she replies and walks back to her room.
