Hughie Biggs

Katie

Hughie's perfect girlfriend. Everyone said it: the ideal couple. The cute redhead with the rugby player. What more could you ask for? They seemed made for each other.

You smiled when you were with Hughie, although he never noticed how your heart broke when you saw them together. You had tried everything to get his attention, but Claire's older brother, your best friend, never noticed. Over the years, your heart belonged to him, even if he didn't know it. And then, one day, she appeared, with her perfect face, her charming personality and her red hair, as if she had been created by angels. In a single instant, it ruined everything you had been trying to build for so long.

———————————-

You were on a sleepover with Claire and Shannon at your best friend's house. They were having a great time, until you went downstairs to look for a glass of water. That's when you saw her.

She was wearing an impeccable red dress and was with the only thing you wanted most in the world.

Hughie.

You watched them talk, as if nothing else in the world mattered, just the two of them. You felt that your heart was breaking into a thousand pieces, as if someone was cutting it with the sharpest knife in the world. You remained motionless, trapped between the desire to flee and the impulse to stay.

Then he saw you and met your gaze. For a second, time seemed to stop.

"Hey, little one, what's wrong?" he asked, noticing the sadness on your face.
