ALEX's POV
I stood in our terrace as I stare into the stars. Gosh, I missed this place. I missed how I used to live with my parents, my little brother, and him. It's been 5 years since I last saw him, 5 years after the most painful experience I ever had in my life. Now I'm 21 and he's 23. I'm pretty sure we're different now. Things most definitely have changed. Considering the fact that he's now engaged to Juliet, as for me, I still haven't found someone to replace him in my heart.
FLASHBACK
"You think this could work?" I asked him as I lay in his arms
"What do you mean?" he asked me
"Us." I simply said
"Of course Alex, you and me forever." he leaned down and kissed my forehead.
" I love you." I said hugging him tight
" I love you too.'
END FLASHBACK
After a few weeks of us being together he acted strange around me. It seemed that he doesn't want to be around me or something like that. And one night he went to my room and that's where all the pain I carry now began.
FLASHBACK
" Alex we're done. We can't do this anymore." He said without even looking at me
" What do you mean? I thought you loved me?" I asked as tears slowly formed in my eyes
" I'm sorry Alex, but--"
Please don't say there's someone else. I thought to myself.
"There's someone else." I stood there with nothing to say. I couldn't believe it. When I finally had the exact words, I let out a soft bitter laugh
" I guess forever just got a lot shorter huh?" I said coldly and walked away leaving him standing there.
END FLASHBACK
3 weeks after that day, I found out that he was dating the girl that was apparently the reason we broke up. I never bothered to talk to him, but he tried to converse with me but I would always find an excuse not to. Up to this day we haven't had any form of communication. And get this, I will see him today only because we had a family thing which I didn't really want to go to, but since my mom called over and over again, here I am, standing in our terrace.
"Hey Alex" a familiar voice came from behind, I didn't want to look back 'cause I knew that it was him, but guess what, I did turn to face him. I just gave him the tiniest smile in the world as he walked closer to me.
"How you been?" he was now standing next to me
"Good, I guess." I didn't even bother to look at him. "How are you and Juliet?" I didn't want to ask, but I had to ask something.
"We're doing great. We're actually getting married in a few weeks." Wow, I knew they were engaged and all, but I didn't expect them to get married right away.
"Oh." Was all that I could say, and I think the pain in my voice is kind of obvious
"I'm sorry for putting you through all of that Alex." He started. "It's just that I thought I loved you like a girlfriend, but then I met Juliet--" I cut him off not wanting to hear the rest.
"I know that. That's why I left right after I graduated high school." Gosh, tears were forming in my eyes again.
"I'm just really sorry, I mean I really love Juliet, but I love you too--" I cut him off again
"But not more than a sister, I get that Justin. You don't have to tell me over and over again." Tears fell from my eyes and Justin pulled me into a hug. I felt my heart ache so much knowing that this is all I'll get from him, brotherly hugs. I slowly pulled away.
"Sometimes, it's easier just to walk away, you know?" the last words I said to him before I turned my back and walked away from him just like I did years ago.
