Twigs:
I laid against the cold, hard floor of my dance studio, looking up at the ceiling as That Body by Jeremih played in the background. I was supposed to be dancing but I was honestly too tired to do so.

The past few nights I've barely slept 'cause all I could think about was Abel and Robert. I was caught between the two of them and had no idea what to do.

I loved Robert, but he said he's not even sure if he loves me anymore and by the way he's been acting I could tell he didn't. Abel on the other hand, is a sweetheart and acts like he loves me but I'm not really sure if he does. Plus Abel is known for being with different girls all the time, so would our relationship even last that long?

I heard the door open and faint footsteps coming towards me. I assumed it was Kaner so I didn't bother to look.

"Tahliah?"

I looked up and saw Abel looking down at me. "Hi."

"Are you okay?" He asked as he sat next to me. "You haven't talked to me in a few days."

"I'm sorry. I've just been thinking."

"About Robert?"

"Yes and you too. I'm not sure what I want to do."

"What does your heart say?"

"My heart wants you...but my mind is stuck on Robert."

"My mama always told me to follow my heart, I think you should too." He leaned over and pressed his lips against mine. "I want you to hear something."

He got up and pulled me up with him. He held my hand as we walked out of the dance studio and down the hall to the recording studio.

When we walked in, I sat down on the couch as he played around on his MacBook for a few minutes.

"Alright, you ready?"

I nodded.

He clicked something and a few seconds later a song started to play through the speakers. It sounded completely different from the song him and I were working on so I was confused until I heard him start to sing.

Angel, oh oh oh
Knew you were special from the moment I saw you, I saw you, yeah
I said angel, oh oh oh
I feel you're closer every time I call you, I call you
'Cause all I see are wings
I can see your wings
But I know what I am and the life I live, yeah, the life I live
And even though I sin,
Baby we are born to live
But I know time will tell if we're meant for this, yeah
If we're meant for this
And if we're not
I hope you find somebody
I hope you find somebody,
I hope you find somebody
I hope you find somebody to love, Somebody to love
Somebody to love, yeah yeah yeah

"Did you write this about me?"

"I did."

I smiled as I walked up to him and wrapped my arms around him tightly.

His hands gently ran up and down my back. "I know you've probably heard things about me and that's why you're scared to love me but I promise, I won't hurt you. I have your best interest at heart, so even if we don't work out or if you still wanna be with Robert, I still wanna be there for you."

"I wanna be with you."

"You do?"

I nodded. "I'm tired of being hurt by Robert. It's time for me to move on to someone better."

I kissed him and wrapped my arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms around my waist, pulling me closer.

"Abel, I-"

There were three hard knocks on the door. "Tahliah!" I heard Rob yell from the other side. "I know you're in there!"

I opened the door and he was standing there with his hair all over his head, his eyes were red and I could smell the alcohol on him.

"What do you want?"

"I want you to stop ignoring me! Come home!"

"I'm not going back to that house."

"What are you talking about?!"

"I'm not going back to that house! I don't wanna live there and I don't wanna be with you!"

"What do you mean you don't wanna be with me?! I'm your fiance! You love me!"

"Yeah, I loved you and you treated me like shit in return! So here!" I took my engagement ring off and threw it at him. "We're over! I don't want you anymore!"

"This is 'cause of him isn't it?! Ever since he came around you've been acting weird."

"It is 'cause of him. He makes me feel loved and cared for unlike you do, that's why I wanna be with him, not you."

He pushed passed me and charged at Abel angrily. He swung but he was so drunk that he missed.

Abel was surprisingly calm. "This isn't 'cause of me, this is 'cause of you. You hurt her and she's tired of it. She wants to move on and you should let her."

"She can't move on! I love her!"

"No you don't Robert! You just like having me around so I can cook for you! You don't talk to me, you don't show me any kind of affection, and you barely acknowledge me whenever I'm at home with you! It's clear you stopped loving me months ago! Instead of just leading me on, hoping it'll get better, why don't you just admit that you're over me and let me go?"

"Because..." He reached for my hand but I moved away from him. "I still love you Tahliah."

"I don't believe you." Tears started to stream down my face and Abel gave me a hug, trying to console me. "Robert, I think you should go."

"I'm not leaving unless you come with me."

He reached for my arm again but Abel moved so he was standing between us.

"She doesn't want you man! Just leave her the fuck alone!"

Robert looked like he wanted to say something else but he just stormed out and slammed the door behind him instead.

Abel turned to face me as I wiped the tears from my face.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah."

He let out a heavy sigh as he ran his hand through his hair. "You wanna go?"

"Can we go get something to eat?"

He laughed. "Of course."

He stuffed his laptop and notepad into his book-bag then grabbed my hand and lead me out to his car.

I was so happy to finally be over Rob, but I was still scared of what was to come from my relationship with Abel. Would he just break my heart again?
