Where Your Heart Truly Lies -Pedri Gonzalez and Pablo Gavi

Chapter 15

Elenas Pov
I arrive back at my house and I head inside. I see Pablo on the couch playing fifa with Ferran. "Hola chicos." I put on a fake smile and walked over to them. "Hola amor! I was waiting for you." Pablo gets up and comes over and hugs me. I hug him back, and I smile. "I missed you...." I whisper, and he smiles."I missed you too. " He pecks my lips and sits back down. I sit next to him and lay my head on his shoulder. I look to see they're playing Eric and Pedri in fifa, and my heart breaks a little as I try to push away my thoughts.
I close my eyes, and I feel Pablo stroking my head with his free arm. I smile, and I lay my head on his chest. He kisses the top of my head. See, I have the most perfect boyfriend. Why would I ever want to hurt him. He'd do anything and everything for me. 3 worlds slip out of my mouth, and before I can stop myself. Pablo already heard. "I love you, Pablo...." He looks at me instantly. "Really?" He smiles, and I nod. He leans down and kisses me, and I smile and kiss him back. He pulls away since my brother is right there. I smile at him, and he smiles back. "I'm so happy! You make me the happiest." He whispers, and I giggle and kiss his cheek. "You make me happy too." I cuddle back into his chest and close my eyes.
I do love him.....but maybe not the way he loves me. I love him because of how he is with me and how he's an amazing boyfriend, and maybe I love him as a friend. But I'm sure I'll grow to love him the way he loves me....I have to.

The next day.
I'm lying in bed, and I'm strolling through tiktok. Gavi stayed the night, but now he's gone to training. Afterwards, he has to do media work again, and then he'll come here.
I hear the door open and close downstairs. "Elena!!" I hear Pedri shout, and my eyes widen. I get out of bed and run and hide in the closest.
I hear footsteps coming upstairs. "Elena, please, I just want to talk....." I hear his voice, and a tear falls down my cheek. He walks past the closet, and I hear him sit on my bed. "Where the hell is she....." He sighs, and I give up and come out. "Right here..." He jolts up and walks over to me and pulls me into a hug. "Elena, what the hell happened? Why did you  leave...." He pulls away and looks at me. "It's for the best Pedri.... I don't wanna do this anymore..... I can't be with you when someone else is gonna get hurt...." I tell him, and tears roll down my cheeks. "Elena...... then fine, we can tell him." I shake my head."No.....I'm not ending things with him. I'm ending things with you...."
"Elena, please stop this...... you told me you love me...." He looks at me as tears form in his eyes, and I shake my head." I never said I loved you. I said I think I'm falling for you....but I was wrong. I'm sorry, but I'm happy with Pablo, and I love him." As soon as I say that, I watch as his face drops. "Fine than if that's the case..... We can just go back to hating each other. Cause I hate you, Elena Torres." He says and storms out of my room and down the stairs and out the front door.
I slide down to the floor, and I burst out crying. Someone wraps their arms around me, and I look up and see Eric and I just sob into his chest. "It's okay.....its gonna be okay....." He tells me, and I just continue to cry. He rubs my back and holds me. "Where's my brother he didn't see or hear that, did he??" He shakes his head."He got held up in training. He told us to meet him here. I came with Pedri, that's why I heard everything. " He said, and I nodded, and I continued to cry. "Elena..... why do you always put everyone else's happiness before your own. You ended things with Pedri just because you don't want to hurt Gavi. But you're hurting yourself by not being able to be with the person you truly love...." I shake my head."I don't love him..... I love Pablo... " and he smiles a little."I'm sure you love Pablo, yes, but not the way you love Pedri.... you wouldn't have continued things with him for so long if you didn't...." He tells me, and I sigh and look down. "It's for the best.....this way Pablo doesn't get hurt and we can just be happy together and I'm sure I'll learn to love him." I say getting up. "Elena, you can't force yourself to love someone....." He says, also getting up. "Look, it doesn't matter, okay....He hates me again.... and everything will just go back to the way it was..... he'll forget about me, I'm sure. And I'm just gonna he with Pablo and be happy....." He just nods "okay but I know you'll never be truly happy with him, Elena....." He said as he walked out of the room.
I sigh, and I lie back on my bed. This is for the best......
