Leilani-
So I ended up not calling Marco back because I was drowning in my own thoughts. Where did these feelings for Aubrey come from, when did this all start. It's not suppose to be like this, is it?
But I'm so attracted to him, not only physical but emotionally. He's one of a kind, his talents are unexplainable. When I'm with him I feel like, everything is in the right place. The stars line up perfect, I need to talk to someone about this.
I yanked my phone off the charger,
me: moooom, come to my room please! I really need your advice:(
¡mom!- sure, on my way

She walked into my room minutes later with two cups of tea. I love it when she's this considerate.
"Here sweetheart," she handed me a cup
I took a small sip, "what is this?!" I spit it back in the cup
"Vodka," she chuckled
Of course.
"Anywho, what's up hun?"
"Is it wrong to have feelings for two people?"
"Not always, is that what's going on with you?"
"Yea, here I am in a relationship with Marco but I find myself thinking about Aubrey, it's so messed up," I sighed
"I see, don't beat yourself up, it happens to everyone babygirl. Just follow your heart."
"Your right mom, I gotta do what I gotta do."
"Exactly, or you can just smash both of them," she chuckled
"That's not what I want to do mom," I chuckled
"I'm just sayin'! You got options girl, but you know, I like Aubrey better."
"Really? why?"
"The way he looks at you, he genuinely cares about you, the other boy just looks like he wants to hit."
"Wooow, well that's never happened."
"Just watch yourself, don't let him break your heart, you're supposed to be the heartbreaker," she moved some hair out of my face
"I'm surprised your dad let you dye your hair,"she laughed
"Right? we'll I didn't really ask him..."
"I miss you having you live with me," she pouted
"Me too mom..."
"But it's for the best!"
"Righttt."
Is it really though? Is there a true reason I'm living here in Toronto?
"I'm gonna go make some breakfast, but remember do what makes you happy in your relationship, even if that means being single," she kissed my cheek and left my room
And just like that, my mind was set.

Drake-
Today's the day! what day? The day Leilani comes back to school. It's been 5 weeks and she finally got her cast off.
To say I wasn't excited would be an understatement, but things between us haven't moved, at all. We texted a couple of times, not really having much of a conversation. I felt like she was starting to push herself away from me, just when I thought I hit a breakthrough it came crashing down like a ton of bricks. But can I really blame her? I came on to her knowing she was in a relationship. I NEED to know if she feels the same way, I can't put myself through this much longer. This whole situation is just fucked up.
***
I got to school surprisingly early considering I hate this place. I made my way into school, pulling off my big coat. Winter was already here, and I was dreading it.
The bell rang, notifying the students that we could go to our lockers and head to first period. Walking down the hall I noticed a group of people around Leilani's locker.
I guess I wasn't the only one ready to see her. I walked over to the crowd being embraced by Gina, Amber, Marco, and Derek. And then there was Jade, she looked at me like she was planning my death in her mind. I smiled weakly at her as I tried to break this staring contest.
"So where is she at?" I asked Gina
"Any minute now," she smiled, grabbing Derek's hand
I didn't even know they were a thing.
'Don't let the saltiness take over'
My conscience yelled
"There's bae," Marco parted the small crowd and pulled her into a hug.
Her fading red hair was in loose curls that fell down perfectly past her shoulders. She had on a floral crew neck and a pair of black leggings, and to top it all off her beautiful white smile was beaming.
"Hey everyone!" she waved when Marco finally let go of her
"Lei, I missed you!" Jade hugged her
"I missed you too! Are you and Derek dating?" she turned and asked Gina
"Yea! We gotta double date soon," she smiled
"Forsure," she grabbed Marcos hand and completely ignored the fact that I was standing less than a foot away from her.
Fuck that, I'm not just gonna stand here and be ignored. That might sound selfish or whatever, but I don't give a shit.
I walked off trying to compose myself but that just really fucked with my head.
**
I took my seat in the back of the class, just like everyday. And here comes Leilani with Marcos 'bitch ass', mang I have so much shit on him but am I brave enough to say it? Not really but when the time is right, I just might have to tell Leilani.
Misery loves company~
