You Again (Completed) ✔️

Cole's POV

When I was eighteen I was an idiot and I is something terrible to a girl I liked.

I didn't know how to react to my feelings towards her, so I acted like a jerk and got rid of her. I threatened her by saying "That if you return home I'll ruin you."

I was never going to ruin her, but it looks like I've ruined myself instead.

All the girls I've dated over the years haven't effected me the way that Julia did.

Every year I keep hoping she'll come back.

When she doesn't I get a little disappointed.

All I want to do is apologise to her and try to get her to forgive me for being a jerk.

A couple years ago I went to her family and I told them what happened.

Julia's parents didn't like what they heard at first, but then they told me that kids are cruel and that I deserve a second chance.

Her brothers were an entirely different story.

They beat the shit out of and I ended up in hospital from the beating.

While I was in the hospital Julia's parents sent them to the hospital to see me and apologise.

After that day the brothers and I became close.

I spend a lot of time at their place and listen to them tell stories of things that happened while they were growing.

I wish that I got to know her brothers when they were at the school.

They were a couple years older than us and they wouldn't have had time to get to know people younger than them.

I pull my car into the driveway of Julia's family home.

Grabbing my keys from the ignition I head to the house. I knock on the door and wait for someone to answer it.

Her brother Antwon opens the door and he looks at me. "Hey, man. Are you here to play C.O.D?"

"Yeah, I am. I'm going to kick your ass." I nudge him with my shoulder.

"No, you're not." He tells me.

We run to the tv and we're about to switch the channel to play the game when the news comes on about a Tsunami that hit an Island.

Nova Island had been struck by an Tsunami after an earthquake occurred not too far from the Island.

The landline starts to ring and Mrs Harris answers the phone. She puts it on loudspeaker.

Mrs Harris: Hello?

Voice: Hello, Mrs Harris. It's Veronica.

Mrs Harris: How are you sweetheart?

Veronica: I'm good.

Mrs Harris: How's my daughter? Is she there?

Veronica: That's why I'm calling. Julia's not here.

Mrs Harris: What do you mean she's not there?

Veronica: Julia's not in New York? She's...
