XO Life ; The Weeknd

Abel

"Elle, wake up." I said, loud enough for us to hear. As her eyes fluttered open, her grip on my hand tightened. She looked at our hands and pulled back abruptly, like it meant nothing at all.

"I need to go, you.. you told me to leave. So.." She said, gathering her jacket and bag. I reached out and gripped onto her wrist. I know it seems cliche, but as i look into her eyes all I see is pain and i promised her that i would make that go away.

"You look tired, maybe you should go." I said, she nodded and left the room, just like that.

Elle

As i left the hospital room, i couldn't help the tears that started blurring my eyes. Seeing him so vulnerable brought back memories of his previous breakdown, and it hurt.

I heard a horn, but i kept walking towards the nearest taxi station.

"Elle, what happened?" A voice said, and i jumped. I looked into the car and saw Dylan looking concerned. I didn't feel like talking to anyone, so i walked on. Unfortunately, they make cars faster than humans so he caught up to me within a few seconds.

"I'll take you home." He said, reaching over to open the door. After being stubborn for a few seconds, i gave in and got into the car.

"You're freezing." He said, touching my hand which sent nervous shockwaves through my body. He took off his jacket and put it around my shoulders. Sometimes, i questioned why he was so nice to me, but it seems like that's his natural personality.

"Stop being nice to me, you really don't have to." I said, looking into his eyes. His eyes softened and he ran a nervous hand through his hair.

"I want to be nice to you, because you're my friend and you deserve it." He said, smiling but i knew that he wanted to say something else.

"I appreciate it, you have no idea." I said, wiping the budding tears in my eyes. Dylan sighed and got out of the car. I didn't realise what he was doing until he opened my door and lifted me out. When my feet were firmly planted on the floor, he wrapped his arms around my waist and hugged me tight.

"So, what's going on here?" A female voice said, and we broke apart immediately. I looked at the girl and she looked pretty basic. Blonde hair, blue eyes, an inch taller than me. It must be Britt, his girlfriend.

"Uh,Britt, this is Elle. My friend." He said, gesturing between us. She smiled and me, and reached forward to shake my hand.

"What have you guys been up to?" She said, and I looked up feeling two pairs of eyes on me. This girl had her arms snaked around his waist like she was stuck to him. Basic insecurity. Bitch its not my fault you're boring and your man has a wondering eye.

"He picked me up from the hospital, my..boyfriend is ill." I said, and Dylan's eyes widened. I don't know why I just said that.

"You have a boyfriend? that's cool. Maybe we could go on a double date some time." She said, and i fake smiled, hating myself for calling Abel my boyfriend.'

"I should go." I said, nodding at them. Awkward much..

"I was gonna drop you home." Dylan said, untangling himself from her. I shook my head and stepped back.

"I'll take a taxi, thanks anyway." I said, waving to them.

"Girl, what have you done?" Shay said, and i shook my head.

"Im so stupid, damn." I said, thinking about earlier. I know Abel will probably take this seriously, and cuss Dylan out.

"You like him don't you?" Shay said, referring to Dylan. My pulse jumped thinking about how nice he was to me.
