Where could this story begin?

I was a fool who lost everything, a happiness I had been looking for a long time but my arrogance had blinded me. She was my best friend, before that she was nobody for me, just the silly intelligent girl from the class who didn't know how to dress, she always walked around with those stockings up to her knees and a long skirt that made her look like an old lady, what could you say about those glasses and hair, she definitely wasn't my type of girl, surely I couldn't feel bad for her when others laughed about her clothes.


I was the typical handsome boy from the journalism school who could have all the pretty and even ugly girls I wanted by his side, but it was not an option to risk hanging out with any woman who was not within my standards, that could damage my public image, for nothing in the world could allow that. The classes for me were boring but I had to get to graduate, the truth is that I felt it was not necessary because my parents were millionaires, many times I tried to leave the university, but my father always threatened to remove my name from the inheritance, my mother always advised me, I loved her, but did not show it, even so she never stopped loving me as her son.


It was the last semester of school and I needed to get better grades in order to graduate; it was an embarrassing decision for me, but I had to do whatever it took to get there, so I didn't think twice, I knew I had to use my male charms to seduce the ugly girl in school and get those good grades. So I did, from day one she fell at my feet, for me it wasn't all unpleasant, it wasn't that she smelled bad, it was just her presence and that nerd form in which she speaks. Several times we went to study in her small apartment, her parents lived in another city so she rented a place to sleep. Her apartment was just the opposite of her, it was clean, it was a nice and cozy place, everything was arranged and dust-free to dull the glitter of the ornaments and glassware on the table and candlestick.


The last day of school had arrived and was a success. Eventually she and I became good friends, people kept thinking that I was using her, I didn't belittle her so as not to lose my popularity, but the truth is that she was not a bad person, in a way I could share many things with that ugly girl of the class. That night my friends invited me to drink, some girls were willing to have sex with me to celebrate, but, I refused everything, I got lost on the way next to her, the girl with glasses who looked at me as if I was a sun, something radiant, I knew she felt something for me, I didn't feel anything for her, nothing I didn't know.


With her I could be someone different, someone I didn't recognize from myself. We talked all night as we walked down the city street; she was sure of what she was going to do after graduation, I didn't have many plans in mind, I just wanted to make Mom happy and not have to listen to my father's screams anymore for me to study and have a professional career.


I don't know when it happened, but she smiled at my silly comments, and that captivated me so much that I kissed her, I felt the great desire to do it, and beyond that, I wanted to make her my wife that night. We ran to her apartment, but all the plans fell apart, her parents had come to visit to surprise her, so I just said goodbye to her like any friend knowing it might be the last time I was going to see her since she had plans to go to another city to get a good job. Being close to crossing the street I feel the need to turn around and there she was, we ran and hugged and kissed again, she wrote her number on my hand with a marker, we said goodbye again, but this time I was going to hear from her.


Several years passed, we both talked on the phone to find out about each other, she was working on a very important newspaper while I was wasting my life on drugs, alcohol and a comedy show. My mother eventually passed away, she was a cancer fighter, but in a way I feel guilty, the stress of my life was certainly not helping him, since then my father was away from me and I from him. I could see that the ugly duckling had become a beautiful elegant woman, it was not the right time for flattery, we were at what would be my wedding, but I couldn't hide it, I still liked her very much, I didn't even know what attracted me so much, but seeing her smile made me happy.


Shortly after I divorced, it had not worked, my I womanizer had not ceased, I loved the adventure, I always thought it was not going to be the man of a single woman. I called that old friend who attracted me to know about her, nothing had changed, her treatment towards me was the same; she invited me to visit her in Paris, my surprise, I was dating a good man of whom I was very jealous. At that moment I knew that I was going to lose her forever, at that moment my feelings began to take a known course, I already knew what I was feeling, so I was greedy and I confessed it, she was surprised, she also loved me and looked for a way out in another man to stop doing it, feel love for me.


That night we made love, she was a beautiful girl who deserved a fairy tale with a happy ending, and I wanted to give it to her. We woke up together the next morning, asked her out, had a formal date where I would ask her to marry me, she accepted. So while I was looking for the engagement ring from store to store, she was picking up her things at her work office, it turns out that the person she was dating was her boss, and she didn't feel comfortable after what happened. I was happy, my life was taking a good path, my mother must surely be happy where she is.


They spent hours in the place where I was waiting for my future wife, I lost track of the time and the amount of water they put on my table. My cell phone rang and on the screen you could see her name, it was raining at that moment when at the time of taking the call was an ambulance doctor explaining to me on the phone of my best friend and fiance that she had died in a tragic accident.


That night, I lost my being, I lost everything.
