Around the time Olivia was 16 years old

"I won!" Olivia shouts with joy.

Ever since Olivia started playing COD with Tyson, Rueben, and me, she has always tried to win. And today she succeeded.

A smile spreads on Tyson's face. "Good job, Olly!"

Stars flicker in Olivia's eyes as she gazes at Tyson. It's how she used to look at me before I decided to destroy her world, forcing her to flee to Earth. She lost all her memories of her previous life in the process and she no longer remembers me. Maybe it's for the best since I'm not ready to love her the way she needs.

I don't even know what love is. I might have a heart now, but feelings are still something new to me.

I've never thought humans were capable of such intense feelings. I want Olivia all to myself and she loves Tyson. And he doesn't want to share her. I am the same. I only want her to have me in her heart. But more than that, I want her to be happy, even if her happiness is not with me. When did I become so altruistic?

My phone buzzes, letting me know I received a text message.

Allesia: Do you want to come over? My parents are not home.

I'm not an altruist. Far from it. I'm just waiting for the right moment to steal Olivia from Tyson. Until then, I'll have fun with other girls, and keep my distance from her.
