Chapter one- How it began

"Love can bring you many things, even pain."

POV- Kate:

There I am, on my bed, scrolling through my picture gallery while reminding myself of how much we were happy.

I am Kate Tomas and I just got out of a three year relationship with my ex, Mathew

The truth is, I still love him but I was the one who wanted a break up. Ironic isn't? I said to him that I was sick and tired to live in such poor condition and that he couldn' provide me with the life style I wanted. That wasn't the truth at all. I loved him so much that I could give him the world. Then why did I break up?

It's not even for a good reason. It's because of his father disapproving of me. Isn't that weird? While I have more power and money than he had, I am appenratly not worth of his son.

After that day, we were getting colder and colder. After a week, I called him to tell him that I wanted a break up. His response was : " ok". Not even :" why?" or any other question. Only a "ok." I was devastated. I started to question myself with questions like " was I not pretty enough?" "Was he seeing someone behind my back?" Or " Was his father right?". After I got out of my questionment, I called Jennifer.

Jenny: how's it going Lucy?

Me: not that well. Mathew and I broke up.

Jenny: Ugh I told you that he wasn't a good guy!

Me: It was me who broke up with him. It's not his fault!

Jenny: If you broke up with him, there must be a reason!

Me: Yeah it's because his father disproves of me.

Jenny: Girl, if you guys broke up because of that it's because you guys really don't have enough to continue this. It was for the better.

Me: But it hurts Jenny. It hurts so much. I feel like there's a huge lump in my throat.

Jenny: it's alright, Let's go out to make you forget it a little.

Me: ok.

"Love is giving somebody the chance of destroying you but trusting them not to."

POV- Mathew:

My father keeps telling me that there is plenty of other beautiful women in this world. It's true, but she's the only one that matters.

My name is Mathew and I'm at another matchmaking session arranged by my dad. She's called Linda. He says she's "just my type".

Actually I still haven't gotten over my previous relationship. She once said to me: " the day that you look back to your happy times is the day that your relationship finally die." But I don't think that my love died.

Everytime I think of her, I always though about the first day we met. She was 19 and I, 18.

It was a rainy day. I met her under a bus shelter with her friend. That was when she said to me, "Hi, can I borrow your umbrella?" I said yes as the good fellow I was and gave her the umbrella. She said: "just wait a second, I'll give it back after I get my own." That's when she ran quickly to the convenience store and got out with two umbrellas and a small cupcake written "thank you" on it. She gave back my retractable umbrella and the pastry. She said "thank you! " and I smiled at her. When she went away, I realised. *R*ainy days aren't that bad after all.
