-picture of me and Abel chilling-

*I know you can see through me,
I know you can see through my lies,
You just choose to never know,
No you just don't know what I do, what I do.
Why pretend to trust in me?
I don't know why you try to trust in me, But I think I might know.*

I roll my eyes, "Whatever."

"Mhm. Okay so go explain what caused you to drink."

"I was thirsty." I whine.

"Then, you could've got something else other than alcohol."

"No, I couldn't."

"Okay sure. C'mon tell me."

"I don't remember." I grumble.

I do remember, I remember it quite clear actually. But I really don't want to talk about it.

"Yes, you do."

"No, I don't "

"Yes, you do. I know you do. And if you aren't drinking at a party you usually have a reason as to why you are drinking. So what's the reason?"

"I was just thinking about Luciana." I shrug.

He sighs, "What about her?"

"How was your day?" I ask hoping to change the subject.

"Lani, that's not going to work."

"I was just thinking about how she could probably make you fall in love with her." I say quietly and look up at the ceiling.

He scoffs, "You do not have to worry about that. Mind you I am only doing this for you."

"I know, but she can easily manipulate you. Making you think that she's the one you want." I frown at my words, saying it out loud is even worse than thinking it in my head.

"She can try, bull I'll always remember that I already have someone. Someone who I'm not ready to leave yet." He grabs my hand and intertwines it with his.

"I made a mistake of saying that I'll help her with you. I wish I could go back and just tell her--" I groan in frustration. "I don't know what I would have told her. But anything than me telling her I'll hook her up with you."

"This is only temporary, remember. I was thinking of giving her about a month, then I'm ending it. Whether she wants to or not."

A lot can happen in a month.

Abel looks at me, and sees my frown. Which might as well be permanent since that's all I have been doing today.

"A month is too long, isn't it?"

I nod slightly, "Way too long."

"Yeah, I thought that too. I should just quit."

My eyes widen, "Do not quit your job. A month is fine. We'll just have to live with it for a while."

"It would be easier, if I quit. We could go out and be seen together. We wouldn't have to worry about getting caught for any reason. We could be a real couple."

I sigh, "It does sound good. But it would be selfish of me to let you quit, just for our relationship. And you wouldn't have money, or anything. And this could go really, really bad. I dont--"

"It wouldn't be selfish of you, baby. I would be doing it for you, But I also would be doing it for us. And I can always find another job somewhere, maybe at another school."
