7 Chapter 7

-...Why don't you go up? - Ruben asked her since she hadn't stopped looking up for about 2 minutes; when they met her eyes weren't shining and now they were that way.

-I'm coming- She put on a sad smile- Alan, would you help me bring some things? They are heavy- Alan was left outside and nodded.

Ruben got into Hailey's car, but Alan was left out.

-Mariely, are you sure you can do this? Do you want to do it? -Alan put his hand on her shoulder and sighed. For so long that she had wanted that to happen, now it seemed more like a nightmare than anything else. She didn't want to lose her mind, she wanted to hug him and run to him but she didn't forget that Ruben was in her life now. and she loved him. She didn't want to fall into temptation, she shouldn't but she had to face her past ...

-Alan, would you help me up? My body doesn¨t respond to me- He just nodded again, and got behind the redhead, helping her walk, Hailey started her car in a sudden way that the black-eyed one, fell with the other half of his body on the side where his girlfriend used to be.

-LET'S REHEARSE!- Hailey said in a lively nervous way.

-THAT HURT ME. WHY DO YOU START UP THAT WAY? HOW WILL WE REHEAR JUST US?

-Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha- She laughed, wanting to hide her nerves- It's what you wanted.

-BUT ALL TOGETHER, FOOL.

Alan was behind Mariely, taking her shoulders and helping her up the stairs in a slow way since she felt that her body was barely responding and when there were 10 steps left to climb, she gave a great sigh understanding that that sweet and bitter reunion moment was about to happen. The blonde realized that she was not able to climb those last 10 stairs by herself and helped him by taking her to her destination. What decision would she make, now? Something told him, that a love triangle was coming and everything depended on her now…

When climbing the last stair she fully appreciates him, he was the same ... No, more handsome than before, her heart accelerated, she felt like the past was present again in her chest, her eyes opened full of tears to contemplate it, but not he knew why he turned to his friend and hugged her, the older one only responded by hugging her in the same way.

-Is this real? Alan, are you seeing him, too? Am I not hallucinating? -She asked with his face still on his chest.

A teen with brown hair, tall, with a calm countenance, full of tears, was watching them.

- I'm seeing him clearly. I just hope you make the right decision-

-Mariely. I'm alive- He told her.

The high low but only 5 steps and he saw how the teenager ran to meet him and they firmly clung to each other, sobs were heard, they spent many minutes hugging that way, their bodies fit perfectly, they didn´t want to detach but Yahir she did it to plant a kiss on her ex, the tears from both of them flowed more strongly until she needed air and 2 slaps on both cheeks was what was heard in the previously silent environment; the blond listened but remained in his same position.

-WHY YAHIR? WHY DID YOU DO THIS?. DON'T SHUT UP AND ANSWER ME- She demanded now furiously.

-Mariely, I didn't want to keep hurting you and me... I just wanted ...- He told her his whole story, decided to calm down a bit, and took 3 deep breaths to still process everything ...- Forgive me, please.

-HOW DO YOU WANT ME TO FORGIVE YOU THIS? LOOK WHAT YOU DID ... SALLY CRYED FOR WEEKS, I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO GO ON ...- She walked down the hall where she lived 2 times- YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MANY TIMES I CRYED YOU, I MISSED YOU, I REMEMBERED YOU AND BLAME ME FOR YOUR DEATH ALL THIS TIME ... MANY TIMES I WANTED TO DIE TO BE WITH YOU

-Why don't we go inside?

-It's not right- She said seriously- Besides, one of my friends is waiting for me, if you didn't notice.

-Friends? - He opened his eyes somewhat surprised- I see you already have more friends, I went to your concert now that I think about it he was there on the drums- You are amazing ... I'm glad you're wearing the bracelet I made you- He saw her wrist

-it's supposed to belong to me or you want it back? - She said annoyed- After I saw you, I knew it was you who has been following me- Her heart was racing, so many mixed feelings were resurfacing.

-Keep it. I made it for you ... We have so much to talk about; I want you to tell me how you ended up in a band, how you play so well, and how you are so talented ...

-IT´S NOT YOUR BUSINESS ... It can't be - Said the redhead- YOU ARE DEAD ...- Despair was present, she was sweating cold and her eyes were wide open. The reality was hitting her and she needed to get that inner despair out

-Forgive me, I'm not dead and I've come back for you …- He wanted to get closer but Mariely just moved away from him and Yahir felt pain from the rejection.

-DON'T COME ANYMORE ... I LOVE SOMEONE ELSE ...- She screamed.

-Are you talking about that guy you kissed when I saw you and took you to my "grave"? - He said now seriously and raising his fingers in quotation marks when he said the word grave- I see you forgot me soon- He said mockingly and her green eyes took on anger, hitting him in the stomach and punching him in the face, and her look of fury was really to be feared- Mariely, Sorry. I didn't mean ...

-DO YOU WANT ME TO CRY YOU FOREVER? THAT I WOULD LOSE MORE TIME WITHOUT BEING HAPPY EVEN THOUGH IT ´S A DAMN SECOND. YOU HAVE TAKEN MANY THINGS FROM ME IN THIS TIME, YAHIR...

-He lowered his face and cried- I KNOW WHAT I DID AND I WILL NOT BE ENOUGH WHAT LEFT IN MY LIFE TO REPENT ME .. FORGIVE ME ..- He kissed her again and Mariely fell into the kiss again, ñetting go. But she quickly pushed him away when the image of a certain black-haired man came to her mind.

-You better go now- She stared him in the eyes- Don't do this to me, please- His hand went to her face and covered one eye. After a few seconds, was she who jumped on him, and hugged him tightly. Alan saw everything, he couldn't say he didn't understand Mariely, but that boy sincerely loved her. But even so, that was not an excuse or sufficient explanation for such a cruel action.

-I love you, Mariely ...- He put his hands on her face ...

-Yahir, I ...

-Mariely. Are you going to want me to help you with music theory? You must have that part ready tomorrow- The temptation was present it was better to help her out of it. At least she knew that his friend, was not leftover and could give his advice, even from his experience- It´s better that we go, now.

-I'm going. Sorry, for making you wait for me-

-Bring your things from school and the guitar. Especially by Ruben. He is very worried because you haven´t gone to class and what is happening- He told her that he will enter and he saw Yahir from head to toe, seriously- You must tell him. Avoid problems and don´t miss Lessons.

-I know- She said holding back the tears.

-I would like to see how you rehearse- Yahir said- And I want you to do me a favor. Tell Hannah and Savannah. I don't dare ... And I seriously hope that we meet again and that you forgive me ... I don't want to cause you problems ...

-Mariely, do you want me to call Hailey and Ruben? - Alan said with his arms crossed. She didn't want to get involved but something else could happen if he left her alone and she might regret it later.

-No, can you help me carry my things, please? - She hurriedly entered, with him closing the door behind his back, she put her school things quickly in her backpack, her friend took the guitar, she resisted the urge to cry, took her copy of the keys, again and they left quickly talking to each other avoiding Yahir

When the teenager got out, she couldn't hold back any longer and cried, Alan, comforted her and Ruben and Hailey were already there.

-Why are you crying?- He asked worriedly, seeing her cry when they got into the car. She just threw herself into his arms -Did you argue? what´s wrong?

-Shouldn't you be with your parents? -

-I explained to them and they permitted me. Who was looking for you? Did you call your mom? Or was she in?

-She hasn't returned from work yet. Don't go- She closed her eyes and the heat of her boyfriend invaded her. She relaxed and smiled when she was like this with him, she blushed a little, she forgot about her problems, she had peace, love and ... She looked up and a hole formed in her stomach, her eyes met Yahir's that reflected pain. She felt like she wanted to go with him, but at the same time stay in Ruben's arms ...
