11 Chapter 11

...He went to his usual meeting place with Mariely, that classroom that only they used, with that piano that also taught him to play.

She was standing by the piano, she turned around and her angry face told her everything- You saw him.

-Did you know?- He asked angrily but keeping calm.

-I knew it in the morning because I saw it in the lockers... I tried to tell you before you enter your classroom ...

-DAMN!- He hit the wall and kicked it too.

-SHOW UP! - She said taking his hand, so he wouldn't hurt himself more.

Ruben just hugged her tightly and the redhead reciprocated by clinging to each other.

-It's not being easy at all, you know? I cried for him, I missed him and it turns out that all of that was in vain, because he never really left.

-Mariely, do you still love him?- He pulled her closer to him and buried his face in her neck.

The girl only gave a slight groan, but she clung closer to her boyfriend, pulling away only to look him squarely in the eye. She hugged him again and cried. Her silence was the answer.

-You love Me? Have you ever loved me?

-Of course, I do ... I wouldn't have asked you to be my boyfriend if I didn't love you ... But ...

He only kissed her like the first time he did, Mariely reciprocated and they kissed for a long time, ignoring that they had classes, lost in them although there would be a great obstacle.

-Let's rehearse the missing part of the song- he said, still breathing with a thousand hearts, he already knew his girlfriend's answer, she had feelings for both of them, but he didn't want to hear her say that she still had feelings for her ex-boyfriend ...

Ruben would just fight, but how much could he take?

He continued indicating to Mariely that she should play and smiled when he noticed that she was improving.

For a few minutes, they didn't want to think about the situation.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Yahir was looking for Mariely, he also knew that Ruben was shocked to see him -Excuse me, we're in the same class, right?- He asked a guy who was passing by and nodded in response - Do you know Ruben?

-Of course, I know Ruben. He is my friend, Are you new, right?

-Yes, I am new.

Do you also know him?

-Not personally.

-It must be because of his band. They have become very popular since Mariely became the singer- He said animatedly.

-Do you know her too?

-She is also my friend, although everyone knows her now. Ruben has them rehearse in the old music room. His father is a friend of the director, and nobody goes to that classroom and lets him use the piano.

-Could you tell me where that classroom is? I'd like to talk to them- He smiled at that boy.

-The school is big, I'll take you- He waved his hand, indicating Yahir to follow him.

-Thank you- He started to walk.

-Are you a musician, too? - Since he carried that guitar in a case.

-Yes, I am.

-it´s here- He pointed to the door

-Thanks- Yahir walk slowly and when the guy disappears from his sight, hears that piano. He leaned out the window of the door, saw them rehearsing and laughing as they both played the piano.

Yahir was surprised, they played it without errors and synchronized. Also, when he met her eyes, he could see the love in their eyes. He knew that look from Mariely, but there was something different. She ever gave him that look.

-Good. Now repeat that part- He said smiling a little, Ruben and his gaze met that of her boyfriend who smiled at him- Each time you improve more.

The redhead nodded, played as directed, and managed to get the notes perfectly, again.

-As always you learn fast. Every day you advance more.

-Although without you, it would not have been possible- She played the whole song again and the black-haired man was surprised that he was possibly already getting over it- But I feel that something is missing, why don't you try? - She gave him her guitar, Ruben left He carried and played the same song adding more flair, strength and ended with an incredible solo when applause was heard that made him and his girlfriend turn.

Then Yahir with the guitar of the other boy, played the same song imitating what they both played amazed.

-It was amazing. You have learned well, Mariely. As not if your teacher is incredible - He said with sincerity, envy, and jealousy - I knew that deep down you liked music. I didn't think you could be that talented.

-Yahir.

-I would have liked to teach you, but I see that someone beat me- He saw his rival.

-What are you doing here?- She asked him somewhat confused.

-I came to see you. But the school is so big, that I had to ask ... Somebody told me you spend time here- He saw them both and there was an awkward silence for several seconds.

-You already know my boyfriend, no Yahir?

-Only by sight- Both looked at each other with self-centeredness and rivalry, although from the little they had seen of each other there could be some respect, admiration even ... Perhaps.

-Ruben, he is my ... my childhood friend and ex-boyfriend, Yahir Yog and you already know. He is Ruben, my boyfriend- I kept looking at each of the 2 boys for a moment.

-Nice to meet you- Yahir dared to say, without taking his eyes off his and stretching out his hand. Ruben took it. Although he almost seemed to want to fracture his hand, and he smiled when he heard a noise and the boy's groan.

- The pleasure is mine, Yahir. What is the afterlife like? I suppose you must know him very well, right? You got off again and came to visit your friends. You should have been given a new chance after having died in that accident- He said with great sarcasm.

-So you know- He saw Mariely

-It´s my boyfriend. I can't hide things from him- She said uncomfortably with the situation- The same thing I told you about him.

-WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING WITH MY GUITAR? - He could no longer contain himself- WHY DID YOUR FRIENDS GIVE IT TO YOU?

-Who said they gave it to me? I only took it because I liked it and wanted to give it to you personally. I know what you do to be able to play and you influenced Mariely. It must mean a lot to you. The weeks that I observed them you never left her and carried her on your back. I already tuned it, changed strings, and cleaned it- gave it and took off the case- It's a great model.

He snatched it from him quickly and I see that he was seriously fine just in case- DON'T TAKE THINGS THAT ARE NOT YOURS ... ESPECIALLY MY GUITAR. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT

-What do you want, Yahir?- Mariely asked softly, showing her discomfort.

-I wanted to see if we could not have lunch together and that you show me the school.

-I'm busy right now, in case you didn't notice. It has always been easy for you to make friends or go alone ...

-Oh come on, it will only be a moment ...

-We HAVE TO REHEARS. ALSO, I MUST PRACTICE WITH HANNAH AND SAVANNAH, TOO- said the girl shouting- THEY NEED ALL THE HELP POSSIBLE, FOR THEIR DEBUT.

-I get it. See you later, Mariely and it was a pleasure, Ruben. Sorry to take your guitar- And he turned around

-I assure you Yahir, that everything I love, I take care of it ... DON´T TOUCH WHAT IS MINE ...- The hint was obvious since it did not refer to the guitar.

-See you another day- Mariely said visibly uncomfortable

Ruben stood up, went straight to Yahir, and punched him in the face- I hope you can see the angels directly with this...
