I don't know what came over me at that point, but I just did it. I hugged him. As tightly as I could, and just let out everything. Never have I been so happy to see someone I didn't even know. "Hey, hey, don't cry." He held me in my arms, rubbing my back. Being a gentleman. "Why? Why does he do this to me? Why aren't I good enough for him?" I began blurting out. "Because he's an unappreciative dickhead, he doesn't know what he has. It's him that isn't good enough for you. You deserve so much more. Your beautiful." I actually felt myself smiling. For real. I pulled away and looked in his eyes. He wiped away my tears with his thumb, causing me to giggle and blush. "Thank you, you don't know how good it feels to be called beautiful.... by the way, what's your name?" I couldn't keep calling him mysterious guy forever. "Abel, Abel Tesfaye, you?", "Ariel, Ariel Jay" I replied, mocking him a bit. He laughed, causing me to laugh at his laugh. "I should get going, before the dickhead comes back..." I got up dusting myself off. "Wait, here's my number so we can hang out?" I looked down and smiled. "I would like that" I said grabbing the piece of paper and shoving it in my front pocket. I waved at him before leaving the restroom amd returning back to my seat... nest to my reality. My scary reality.
"Are you feeling any better sweetie?" Mrs. Santiago asked me. "Huh?" I asked a bit confused. "Jason told us you weren't feeling well." I eventually caught on. "Oh yes, I'm fine" I faked a smile. "If anyone wants to request a song, you're more than welcome to." Some man on staged announced. "Oh, me!" I looked to where the voice was and it was Abel. The fuck he doing... He hopped on stage and whispered in drummers ear. He grabbed the microphone and started talking. "I would like to dedicate this song to someone here tonight, and I hope you guys enjoy." He started to sing...
"Saw my signal from afar
Lonely heart sitting at the bar
I'ma try to save you from his flames
Come with me, you don't have to think
Had a long day I could tell by your drink
Take a look at me, I promise I will be,
All the things you wanted him to be
Do you, always seem to fight cause I, can tell
Wipe away 'em tears and I,
Can help, help you through your misery,
Hospitality that you need from me
And, girl, I can hear the pain inside, your voice
Argue every night, but that's a choice and I can take it all away
Let me rescue you,
I can see the truth
I can see right through the pain
Let me rescue you,
Let me fill his shoes,
No more tears running down your face
I can take you there,
Girl,
fly you through the air
Girl, I can be your superhero
Fly you through the stars
Let me light up your darkness
I can be your superhero..."
I gasped out loud, causing Jason to look at me. I never knew he could sing... considering that I just met him a couple minutes ago... I wouldn't know but it was still a big surprise. He actually sung really good too, not just any good, but talented good. And the funny thing is, as he sang the song he stared right at me, with so much love in his eyes.
TWO MORE PARTS LEFT. I HOPE YOU LIKE IT!! :D
