Relapse

Decisions

It's been 4 weeks now since i've last seen Miguel...it's starting to feel lonely i mean as soon as we were getting along he has to leave...and I haven't texted Braedon back or Naz because she's texting me on why i'm ignoring Braedon and it's just a big-

KNOCK KNOCK.

 I immediately sit up from my bath and groan. Seriously who could it be now?. It takes me a minute to get up and put my robe on but i finally do and open the door hoping for you know who.

"Braedon?" i say with disbelief and also paranoia. What if Miguel comes back and finds Braedon?

But that's crazy cause what are the odds of him coming today when hes been MIA for weeks?

I move aside and let Braedon in. I take note that he scans me and I instinctively close the top of my rob that was exposing some of my breasts.

"You're not texting or calling me...I had to make sure Miguel hasn't killed you yet" he says with all seriousness in his tone. I roll my eyes but before I can speak he continues. "Naz and I are worried...you barely see us anymore, you're always inside, and things just feel different."

I tilt my head a bit "you mean different like you confessing your love to me...yeah you got me in a lot of trouble Braedon, Miguel almost breaks up with me."

Braedon shakes his head. "I'd be doing all of us a favor if that happened, but I see you're still...and besides is Miguel the only thing that matters to you?".

"well what was so important that you had to come to my house." I ask bluntly, ignoring he's previous comment. He gets closer to me but I step back and he gives me a sad look. He reaches out and places a hand on my shoulder. "I know now is not the time to be talking about feelings seeing as how yours are all over the place or...all in one person...but I just had to let you know and when you're done wasting your time on Miguel...ill be here Mileena...and Naz will be here". I give him a pained look and he gives me a weak smile. 

"Why would you say that Braedon you know how...Miguel and I are and I just cant bring anyone else into my mess" I say while looking down at the floor.

"But with me it wouldn't be a mess" he says softly and with that his hand has moved from my shoulder to caress my cheek. He tilts my head up and holds eye contact. His eyes look hopeful and I feel terrible. I sigh and lean in and hug him. "Im just so...tired Braedon" I feel my body relax against his and he hugs me back tightly while stroking my hair. "I know Leena" he whispers. "You dont have to make a choice now or soon but im just letting you know" he pauses "Ill always be in your corner". I feel like crying but instead I burry my face into his chest and take in his scent to calm myself down. That is until I hear a creak. I quickly turn to see the creak has came from my door and its Miguel.
