Valentine Regens

"Why are you sitting out here? It's 2.30 a.m.. oh Merry Christmas" Chloe my cousin hugged me

"Merry Christmas Chloe" I smiled and hugged her back

"Why are you sitting here? Is something bothering you?" She asked and I looked at the view

"I just love waking up at 2 a.m and opened up my balcony to see a beautiful view"

"Something is bothering you.. what is it?" She asked as she sits on the chair beside mine

"Do you love Nicholas?" I asked and turned to her

"Of course , I love him to death and I just got engaged!" She showed her ring and I congrating her right away

"He's already asleep right?"

"Yeah.. let him. Come on you can talk to me about anything" She said and I sighed

"Joey Harris" I started by saying his name , Chloe didn't reply anything because she's waiting for me to continue

"Since I entered highschool , he bullied me and pranked me all the time. We both like fire and water. Never match , always argue and always fight"

"Every time he makes a mess , a guy called Raymond always helps me back and makes me have a crush on him. One day I was pranking Joey back by filling his shampoo with a red hair dye and hide inside the boys locker room.. As he got the hair dye on him , I laughed out loud and he trapped me between his arms and that got my heart flipping like a fish on land" I sighed and Chloe still listening to me really well

"After that we went camping with school and that's where.. weird things happen. He asked me to come with him to see a beautiful view and ended up making out there.. that's 2 a.m in the morning and he kept me there until 4. We promised that we will never let that happen again but the next dawn.. we were making out again"

"That morning.. I was eating with Harry and I saw him come out from the place where we both always hangout with another girl. He looked at me and then suddenly told Harry to give up on me because I like Raymond.. The girl who was with him told me that Raymond has a girlfriend but I don't care about it anymore because it's only a crush and it never gone more than that" I stopped for awhile and looked at the sky to see the moon shining to brightly

"I went to that place at dawn again and he went there too.. He apologized and swear that he would never bother me again. From that on he never appear in front my face again.. if our eyes met , he immediately turned his face away"

"The thing that I hate the most from him is that he always calls me Valentine" I bit my lips

"Valentine is your name Val.. why do you hate it?" Chloe asked

"You call me Val , Leah call me Val , Harry call me Val but he always call me Valentine because he said that my name is beautiful why he has to call me Val" I said and felt my heart hurting

"You like this guy Val" I turned to Chloe

"No I don't.. I like Harry"

"How do you know if he really never appears in front of you? You saw him ran away from you and try to avoid you right? That's because you set your eyes on him.. you only see him" I gulped as Chloe said that

"You want him to disappear from your eyes and now he did it. Why it bothers you so much if it's that what you've always wanted?" My eyes landed on my index finger and I remembered when he reacted really fast to see me getting hurt

"I don't like him"

"School almost over Val , think about it" I turned to her and sighed big time

"What should I do?" I asked desperately

"Be yourself.. talk to him first"

"Chloe.. He has someone he likes" I remembered about him saying that he has one girl inside his heart but that girl never looked at him

"So you want to give up?"

"Chloe.. the last day after the exam , I was going to walk out from school but suddenly he pulled me to the side.. I saw a car pass by me at a great speed. I was shocked and saw him pulling me to the side made me even more shocked.. after that he immediately turned his body around and walked away"

"You didn't say anything?"

"I called him and say thankyou but he didn't say anything.. he walked away" I said and Chloe smiled

"You really like this guy , don't you?"

"I don't know" I shook my head

"You missed him when he stopped bothering you , waking up every 2 a.m everyday because you remembered every moment that you spend with him in this time and the fact that you only see him Val.. you like this guy"

"I guess"

"Love isn't about one person fighting alone Valentine , it's about 2 people. If there's only one person who fights.. there will be time for them to give up"

"You asked me to fight by myself and then give up?" I asked and she chuckled

"He's the one who giving up Val , he sees you liking someone else" My heart froze

"He doesn't like me Chloe"

"Let's think simple.. You got a puppy as a Christmas gift from your parents and you really love it until you can't take it off from your eyes.. one day you saw it going to a puddle of black water.. what will you do?" She asked

"Get it away from that puddle"

"Exactly.. Joey has his eyes on you all the time without you knowing Val. He saw you and then saw the car was going at a high speed.. Do you think he will care if he doesn't have his eyes on you?"

"What did he do to me?"

"The answer is simple Val , it's Love" She smiled
