It's been many years since Luara Santos first listened to The Weeknd's songs and grew to become one of his fans.
When her best friend since childhood, Makayla, surprises her with tickets to his concert, she jumps at the chance to go.
But when the d...
I groan as Mikayla nudges me for the 10th time within the span of 5 mins and I feel the irritation within my body increasing within the minute. I don't want to move.
"Please. just. stop." I plead, grabbing the duvet and throwing it over my head, praying it drowns out her presence. Unfortunately God didn't answer my pleas.
"No Lua, we haven't hung out in forever and i'm not gonna let you stay in bed all day when we finally have time to spend. Now get your lazy arse out this bed before I do it for you." I roll my eyes under the covers and seconds later feel a smack on my leg and then footsteps moving away from my bed and I sigh in relief, glad she's gone.
After a few minutes, I finally decide to bless her with my presence and I step out of my bed, stretching my arms as I drag my feet across my floor in my fluffy white slippers. I swipe my phone open and click on instagram, scrolling through my feed until one post catches my eye.

theweeknd you know my heart belongs to you..
My brow hooks up as I read the caption, a tug in my heart pulling at the image of him falling for someone else. And that someone else being Simi Khadra. As much as I'd love to stop seeing his face on my screen, It's impossible.
With him promoting his new album release every week, I see him on billboards, on news outlets and on every social media platform no matter the popularity of it.
I just wish I could be standing beside him supporting him through it.
But I can't.
I won't.
I switch my phone off and chuck it on my bed before swinging my door open and stepping out into my open space living room. Mikayla is sat on my stool, texting someone on her phone so I take the opportunity to go to the kitchen to grab something to eat. I catch sight of some toast on the counter and I pop it into my mouth when Kay comes in.
"Oh my god, you're awake finally."
"Yeah yeah, now tell me, what are we doing today because I really need a reset day." I say, wiping the crumbs from around my mouth as I dust my hands off from the remains of the toast.
"Well.. we're gonna go get our nails done and then fulfill our retail therapy needs, all of it my treat," She says ecstatically, clapping her hands together. I squeal in excitement and jump into her arms, squeezing the living life out of her.
