but we're still young ( part 1 ), brea isomee [great books of all time txt] 📗

dream come true . I couldn't wait to be back in my own house , in my own school , and finally have my own girl back in my arms . Aaaah , Chanel , yes i couldn't get her off my mind even if i wanted to . She had always been the apple off my eye and to try and shake those feelings would have been impossible .

My first stop would be by house to see my mother . She would be happy to know i was home to stay this time . Then my next stop would be to the mall to pick Chanel up something nice . I felt like a little kid all over again .

I remembered the first time i'd ever kissed Chanel . She had to be at least 10 . I think i was 12 , but i was muscular and mature for my size . . I was teaching her to play basketball and she wanted to dunk . Since she was a little too short i had to pick her up so she could put the ball in the hoop . When i put her back down on her feet she stumbled into me and both our lips locked into each others but neither of us pulled away , it was like it was meant to be , and it would be soon . Very , very , very soon .

*Chanel-

I want that , that , that , oh my gosh , that too !

We walked into the first store in the mall and my eyes instantly saw everything i wanted . It was like i was adding up how much it would cost if i even asked Carlos to buy me half of the stuff i wanted in this store and the price i came up with was way too high .

I bit my bottom lip slightly and turned to look at Carlos . I couldn't ask him to buy me anything . Then he'd think i was just some freeloader and i wasn't . And plus i didn't feel comfortable with him buying me anything more than lunch . I mean , he'd already bought me all of the stuff that was in my closet at our house , i couldn't and wouldn't ask him for anything else .

Carlos laughed when he saw the look on my face . He took my hands in his and pulled me close to him " what now ?"

" um ," i looked up at his face where he had an amused look plastered all over it " nothing . Let's go ."

" we just got here . And we not leaving until you pick someting ouh , mami ." It was so cute when his accent accidentally slipped in while he was speaking .But i tried to put that out of my head for the time being . I pulled away from him , looked around and picked up the cheapest thing i could find which just happened to be a $5 bracelet . God , who pays $5 for a damn bracelet .

" is this good enough ?"

He shook his head and flashed me a smile " yeah , if that's all you want ."

I wanted to scream to him that i actually wanted the whole darn store , but i didn't . I kept quiet while he payed for the bracelet with a credit card and handed it to me . I slipped on the simple white bracelet and we left the store . In all actuality he pissed me off . I didn't want him to tell me that all i had to get was a bracelet . I wanted him to force me to get everything i wanted . I think he knew that and that's why he didn't say anything . He was torturing me and he knew it . But he wasn't gonna beat me at my own game , so i kept my mouth shut and we walked hand in hand through the mall .

We stopped in at least 15 other store where i got nothing but he made sure when we stopped in Hollister to buy his self at least 15 shirts and a few jackets . When he turned his back towards me i shot him a mean look but i smiled in his face though . Gosh , why was he doing this to me ? !

When we stopped into a jewelry store he immediately told me to wait outside which i didn't have a problem with . He was probably just going to buy his self another flashy gift , but i couldn't be mad . After all , it was me who turned down all his offers to buy me things so what did i really expect .

I saw a face in the crowd that made me do a double take . But as soon as i looked back it was gone . As quickly as i had seen it it had been gone , like it was never there . Boy , did that face bring back memories . Memories i wasn't quite ready to relive . But , i think i was tripping . He couldn't be back , what would have even been his purpose to come back ? To beat the crap out of me again ? No , i wasn't going back down that road . And anyways Bucky left pursuing his career , last i had heard he had a record deal and was working on a album to put out . 2months , it'd been 2 long months since i'd seen that face and i'd been praying i'd never seen it again .

I felt a body behind me and my instant reaction was to pull away but then i heard Carlos's soothing voice " calm down and hold your hair up ."

I did as he said and i felt something cold around my neck . A necklace ? I instantly perked up .

After he was done i dropped my hair and looked down trying to see it but it was no use , i couldn't . He laughed , picked up his bags and led me over to a mirror inside the store . I gasped . It was a gold necklace that read "C & C" and it had 2 little diamonds on it , one in the middle of each c .

I turned to Carlos and wrapped my arms around his neck "i love it , i love it . Thank you ."

He laughed and literally had to pull me off of him " i got it specially made the day before our wedding ."

" how much did it cost ?"

" really ?" he rolled his eyes " i just got you this and all you can think about is the price ? You've gotta be kidding me ."

Right when i was about to respond i saw him again . Out of the corner of my eye i saw Bucky and fear as well as shock sat right at the bottom of my stomach . How ? How was it possible . I grabbed Carlos's hand in a rush " can we please go ."

He pulled his hand from mines and we walked from the Jewelry place . I could tell Carlos was annoyed with me but at that moment i didn't care . My main focus was just to get out of there .

*Bucky-

When i stopped home my mother had told me Chanel was married but , i didn't believe her , i just had to see that shit with my own 2 eyes . And when i stopped in the mall to buy her present i saw her hugging some boy with a huge ass ring on her finger .

How could she ? I thought , i thought we were in love . I mean , i know i left her for 2 months but it was for us , so i could build up my career and get a little money so maybe we could move in together . But she'd moved on without me and she way going to pay , by any means necessary .

*Carlos-

I got into the back of the car after Chanel , my driver closed the door got into the driver's seat and started the car . I was quiet the whole way home . I just didn't have shit to say to Chanel . I was trying to be nice and treat her to nice things and all she wanted to do was worry about the price . She deserved so much and i was trying to show her that i'd do anything to give it to her but there she was acting like a . . . . like a . . . bitch . Money wasn't a issue , and as long as i had it she would too . I deserve the right to be able to spoil my wife .

I sat down on the couch and watched as Chanel went to her room and closed the door . Great ! I don't need these problems .

3 hours went past and it was now 4 in the afternoon , and i hadn't seen or heard a word from Chanel but i didn't care . I ordered a pizza and after i ate i turned in early .

*Chanel-

I woke up feeling , like shit , if i must be honest .

I picked out a pair of blue tights , some blue and white Griffey's , a blue jean mini skirt and a white t-shirt . After i did everything i needed to in the bathroom , put my hair in a loose ponytail and made my way to the kitchen Carlos was already gone . But he was early , he must've gotten his driver to take him to school . But i didn't worry about it one bit . I really wasn't ready to apologize to him anyways .

When i made it to school and everyone was rushing off there own yellow bus i caught a glimpse of Carlos and Tisha hugged up kissing next to the front door but i acted like i didn't even see it , held my head high and walked into the school building .

" you okay ?" Evelyn asked .

I was at my locker and she just happened to walk up . I put on a fake smile for her benefit so she wouldn't ave to listen to me complain " i'm fine ."

She looked at me skeptically " if you say so . But listen , i hear that Tisha's friend , Riley , is fucking Carlos . And i heard that Tisha is too . I know it's just a rumor but , if you saw the picture going around you wouldn't think so ."

Picture ?? So not only is there a rumor but there is a fucking picture ! Just great . Now Carlos isn't just a dickhead but he's a cheater too !

I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and unclasped the necklace that Carlos had gotten me yesterday from around my neck . I gave them to Evelyn as i struggled to hold back tears " i guess i won't be needing these . Oh , and if you see Carlos tell him i'll be
