Stay With Me (Marc Marquez)

five

I'm studying with a friend at the library of the university. We are studying law, my friend needs help with it. I sigh because we have a test tomorrow and it pisses me off a bit. By the way, my friend's name is Leonie. My phone vibrates showing a message from Marc, but I don't reply. I sigh again, I fold my arms on the table and I put my head on them. 

"Let's take a break." - Leonie says

"I agree. What do you want to do ?" - I reply

"Can you come with me to the cafeteria? I need a coffee." 

"Yeah, of course."

We put our school stuff in our bags and we go to the cafeteria. I sit next to a table while waiting for Leonie. I reply to Marc's message, he wanted to know whether everything's okay. 

"Who are you talking to ?" - Leonie asks, sitting next to me

"It's a friend." - I reply

"Okay. What are you talking about ?" 

"He asked me whether everything's okay."

I put my phone on the table sighing again. Leonie looks at me smiling and it makes me smile. 

"Do you want to continue studying ?" - I ask

"Let me finish my coffee and then we'll see." - Leonie replies 

I look away and I hold back my tears. Yeah, I want to cry because I'm broken inside. I feel uncomfortable in my class, I feel lonely and Leonie isn't in my class. My teacher is absent so I don't have a class for the rest of the day. 

"Are you okay ?" - Leonie asks

"To be honest, I don't know." - I reply

"You can go back home if you want to." 

"I don't want to leave you all alone."

"Don't worry, I have class in 5 minutes."

"Okay."

We leave the cafeteria, Leonie hugs me before going to class. I come back home listening to music. I go upstairs and I enter my room. Then, I lay on my bed and I start crying. I'm lost and I don't know what to do. My phone vibrates again, I turn it on and I see it's Marc who wants to know whether he can call me. I hesitate because I don't want him to know I'm sad, but I say yes. I sniff before picking up the call.

"Hi princess! How are you?

"I'm good and you ?"

"I'm good. You sound sad, what happened ?"

I can feel tears falling down my cheeks.

"I'm broken."

"Why ?"

"I can't explain it."

"Don't worry, I will join you."

"Wait, why ?"

"You're sad and you need someone and I'm here for you."

"You don't need to..."

He doesn't let me the time to finish my sentence and he hangs up. I take my teddy in my arms and I fall asleep. I wake up slowly and I see I have some messages from Marc. He asked my address so I tell him. I get up from bed and I brush my hair. 

                                *Hours later*

I hear someone knocking on the door, I go downstairs and I see Marc with a teddy bear. He smiles at me and I just stare at him smiling. He comes to me and hugs me.
