chapter 2

STELLA POV

AMARA LORAINE VELASQUEZ

Amara has been my best friend since mom and I stepped into their mansion. Since I was 16 years old. We've been together for so long, we've hardly been apart. She's my best buddies.

Mama was a butler in the Velasquez family, so Amara and I became close to each other. We spent most of the day together. Amara is almost perfect, beautiful, kind and rich so I won't wonder why Kairus loves her.

They look good together. Sad to say but true.

I met Kairus because amara introduced him to me since we became friends. Yes I am in love with Kairus since when I was 16 years old. At first I thought it was just krass but the more I eat, the worse I feel.

Every time I see her smile, laugh and being kind, caring and considerate I fall more and more in love.

No one knows about my feelings towards him. I hid my feelings since I was 16 years old and until now no one knows about my feelings for Kairus.

I know from the start that Kairus really likes Amara, he dated her for six years. Imagine how long he flirted, he waited for my friend.

It hurts.

But I can't do anything. I'm already defeated. The flesh hasn't started yet, I know I'm going to lose right away. I tried to confess but I couldn't because my fear was ahead of me.

I endured all the pain. I endured all the pain. I endured all the weight on my chest. Now that they are here, I don't know what to do, I just want to get rid of my feelings.

I didn't come out of the ladies room without my own, my face was fine from crying. Medjo somehow reduced the weight in my chest and I breathed a sigh of relief.

I immediately entered the classroom but I also stopped when my eyes first fell on my friend and Kairus who kissed at the end. I swallowed when I felt the pain in my heart. I looked away before going straight to my seat.

"Stella?.." I closed my eyes tightly when I heard Amara's voice. I was about to turn around but it was too late because it was right in front of me.

I looked up to look at it.

"Where have you been?" He asked before sitting next to me.

"Just on the chin." I answered briefly. I took a deep breath and was thankful that my face is fine now and that I don't look so puffy anymore because of crying.

"By the way, Mommy sent you to the house for dinner later, come please.." she suddenly said causing me to look at her.

She's beautiful, very bossy face. It's like an angel coming down from heaven. I'm pretty but I know Amara is better than me because of her wealth.

My eyes immediately flew to someone who sat next to Amara. I secretly swallowed and gasped when I saw that it was Kairus who immediately looked at his girlfriend as if he could only see Amara.

I smiled bitterly.

"Please come, I will also introduce Kairus not as a lover but as a boyfriend, please besh come." He said softly but I wasn't looking at him because my eyes flew to Kairus's hand that was crawling on Amara's hand until they were holding hands.

FVCK!

I dodged and tightened my grip on my bag. I bit my bottom lip.

"Besh please?" I nodded slowly before letting out a loud sigh.

Amara smiled at her answer before she faced her boyfriend. I looked away because I couldn't see.

Why did I feel this way? I'm so jealous but the worst thing is that you can't do anything but hide your feelings.

I looked up to stop the tears from falling. I took a deep breath before turning to them and just then Kairus and I met our eyes.

I was stunned when he smiled at me. My heart broke even more when I saw in his eyes how happy he was. I bit my lower lip. I should be happy for them right? I should support them. I can see how happy the man I love is that I know he can't feel it for me.

"W-don't hurt my friend." I said suddenly while holding back tears. They both looked at me smiling.

Kairus nodded

"Of course, I won't hurt her, I love your best friend so much so you don't have to worry." He answered softly before quickly kissing Amara's hand.

"I love you too." Amara answered suddenly before turning to me.

"Don't worry Besh, it won't hurt me" I couldn't speak because I was at a loss for words. I just nodded and tried to smile.

That's right Stella!

I took another deep breath before looking out the window. Tears wanted to fall from my eyes but I held them back until I could.

What should I do to get rid of this feeling? I'm a mess. I want to get rid of what I felt because the pain is already painful.
