Chapter 6

                                    

                                          
Christopher Pov 
I'm the most stupidest guy for letting Stephanie {Cristina} go. I didn't want to but she needed time to herself and I can't force her to be with me. I just wish I get to have her in my life but I know that won't be easy and it'll take time. I get to my room and slam the door. I've never been this crazy for anyone but Stephanie {Cristina} she's different from the other girls I've known. I heard Erick come in but I wanted to be alone so I didn't go up to him. 
                          
Erick Pov
When we got to our apartment I wondered where Chris was but I left him bc I thought he was mad at me for telling Stephanie about his secret relationship but it was the right thing to do she had to know about it. So I went out walking to the park near me hoping that the media doesn't see me. Right when I see Stephanie {Cristina} sitting in the bench crying while looking at some photo. 
                          
Erick: Stephanie {Cristina} are you ok? 
                          
Cristina: Omg Erick you scared me! No nothing's wrong I want to be alone rn.
                          
Erick: Well what are you looking at? 
                          
Cristina: It's nothing don't worry about it. 
                          
Erick: Are you crying bc of Chris or bc of that photo? 
                          
Cristina: Erick mind your business ok! 
                          
Erick: Stephanie I'm sorry it's just that I hate seeing you like this 
                          
Cristina: Erick why do you care! There are many girls out there but why me! 
                          
Erick: Bc you're not like any other girl. You're much more amazing than them. 
                          
Cristina: No I'm really not. I'm much more worse. I've been through a lot in the past. 
                          
Erick: What do you mean? What happened? 
                          
Cristina: It's something I promised myself that I would never talk about with anyone. Plz don't make me remember about it.
                          
Erick: I'm just worried about you. 
                          
I saw that she was still crying and looking down but I lift her chin up and wiped away her tears. That's when I saw it... her cuts... she was wearing short sleeves for the first time 
                          
Erick: Stephanie {Cristina}what have you been doing to yourself?
                          
Cristina: Erick I told u. I can't talk about it. It's to painful for me I've been through so much and for once I actually feel relieved that it's all over. 
                          
Erick: But this is not the answer to your problem it doesn't help you with anything. 
                          
Cristina: Erick this is from my past but after I came here to Florida I promised myself that I was gonna change everything. 
                          
Erick: Can I ask you something? 
                          
Cristina: As long as it doesn't have to do anything about my past. 
                          
Erick: It's not but what happened to your parents? 
                          
After I said that to her she started tearing up again. I didn't think it was gonna hurt her. 
                          
Erick: Omg Stephanie {Cristina} I didn't mean for you to cry. I'm sorry
                          
Cristina: If you really want to know my mom died when I was really young but my dad was never the same after that. He lost his job and started drinking. Luckily before he started drinking  he called my aunt to take care of me while he's gone she's basically the one that raised me. It was hard leaving her but I had no choice I couldn't stand another day there. All he did was torture us and I don't know what I did to deserve all this.
                          
Erick: You didn't but it made you stronger than ever. Well have you talked to her since? 
                          
Cristina: I'm not allowed to for my safety of risking my dad ever finding me. 
                          
Erick: Wow that's a lot to go through. 
                          
Cristina: You have no idea. So basically I have no family I have no one. 
                          
Erick: Don't say that you have me. I'm not going anywhere. I'll never leave your side. 
                          
After that I leaned towards her and stared deep into her beautiful brown eyes and kissed her. 
                          
Cristina: Erick plz don't. I'm not ready for a relationship. I just need a friend rn ok. 
                          
Erick: It's fine but I need you to know something. 
                          
Cristina: What?
                          
Erick: The day we bumped each other was an amazing day for me bc I was lucky to meet a girl like you. I don't ever regret that. I like you Stephanie {Cristina} I can't keep it to myself anymore. I don't expect you to say anything rn. I get it I'll leave u alone if you want me to. 
                          
Cristina: No wait! 
                          
After I was gonna leave she grabbed me
and kissed me. Once we pulled away from each other I kissed her again. Right when I hear a flash. I looked around and saw a person take a picture of us. 
                          
Cristina: Omg what have I done?!
                          
Erick: It's ok nothing is gonna happen to you. I won't let anything bad happen to you. 
                          
Cristina: No you don't get it that photo can't come out! 
                          
Erick: Why?
                          
Cristina: Bc he's gonna find me! 
                          
Erick: I won't let ur dad lay a hand on you I promise. 
                          
Cristina: It's not just my dad it's also him I'm worried about. 
                          
Erick: Who? 
                          
Cristina: I have to go! 
                          
After she ran away I was gonna go after her but then I see her photo slip out. I picked it up and saw something I could never imagine.
