Walls- Chapter 1
Adam Torres was an egg.
A thin shell on the outside that was easily broken, causing the yolk- his emotions, his hurt, pain and dignity- to come pouring out.
He put up walls to prevent from getting hurt... But it never seemed to work. He was weak. He'd put his heart on the line only to have the walls come crashing down before him.
It's happened so many times before, so...why should he put his heart on the line again? Why should he risk his romantic well-being for this one particular girl? Oh, yeah... Because every time she looked at him with those big doe-eyes and that sincere smile, he couldn't help but melt. She made him happy even though they were just friends. He wanted to give this a chance, yet he couldn't find a good enough reason to put himself out there once again. Sure there was that thing where he'd never felt this way about any other girl, but...how many other girls had he thought that about before?
Too many to count.
But he couldn't help but feel like she really was different from the rest. Heck, she even looked different compared to his usual dark haired-older woman type. However, what really stood out about her to him was simply the way she made him feel- and the way he could swear he made her feel the same. Although, that was most likey wishful thinking...
