"I need the truth. What happened that day."
Diego stiffened as he laid beside Myah. He closed his eyes to stop the tears that were forming in his eyes before he answered, "I didn't want any of it to happen."
"But it did.. Please tell me," she whispered as a tear streamed down her face.
Diego rested his hand on her knee as he looked into her eyes as he spoke, "A-after we discussed about me staying at your house, i went to the store.. I was buying snacks for us... for the day," he sniffled, "and as i was looking at cute pastries, because i know they're your favorite, she was there and-,"
The nurse walked in with Myah's pain medication interrupting him from what he was saying, "Here's your medication ma'am, it'll put you to sleep sometime soon," she smiled handing Myah the pill.
Diego helped her sit up on her bed as he handed her ice water from the beside table, "drink this," he stated after she popped the pill into her mouth.
The nurse walked out of the room closing the door behind her. Diego looked around to notice his mother and Jess were still fast asleep. Myah took a sip of the water before handing the cup back to Diego.
"It may take a bit to kick in," he mumbled as he laid her back down.
"You don't have to help me with everything," Myah whispered annoyed, "I know but i want to," wifi responded as he laid back down beside her in the same position.
His arm wrapped around her keeping her still. He looked into her bright sad eyes as he started to remember what he was saying.
"And.. what i was saying was.. when i was getting the snacks, we seen each other. We were having small talk, maybe 5 minutes at most, and as i was about to leave... she leaned in and we kissed," Diego said watching Myah's facial expression change to an anger expression, "I'm sorry.. I was scared to tell you but i didn't want you to leave me and-,"
"That's selfish of you. That benefits you and hurts me Diego," Myah said harshly piercing through him.
"I wanted to tell you, but i was so nervous because of the two incidents that happened before that. I thought you'd leave me," Diego whispered grazing his fingers along her cheek.
"And you think hiding shit from me is a good thing? If i didn't find out you would never have told me. That's shitty of you, that's low. Even for you. Did you really think i wouldn't see your messages? You're an idiot."
"Myah i'm-,"
"I don't really care anymore. You did this to yourself."
"But i don't want to lose you."
Myah sat up on her bed as Diego held her back quickly to help her. But she wasn't having it.
"Diego, let go of me," Myah said elbowing his arm.
"Can you let me explain Myah? I know i fucked up. I wanted to tell you and it fucking hurt."
"Do you see me out doing shit with other people? I get it. You're famous now, shit is going to happen, but you never take my feelings in consideration. You do what's best for you. I have no say in anything."
"But you do Myah, and i swear those fucking photos were so long ago."
"I know!" Myah groaned loudly as Jess shifted in her seat still asleep, "But you're a fucking asshole. Doing things that'll better for us is different than doing things to benefit you. Some things i'd be fucking okay with, but instead you lock lips with blonde sluts that is only looking for fame elsewhere."
"Let me fix things. You're right. Do you not see how much i am risking for you?! You're on my mind day and night, i'm with you every single day. If i have an interview to go to, you're always there."
"And what when i do go shit fucking happens. To me not to you. It's not a good thing," Myah said reaching over Diego to grab the water taking a sip, "you try to play fucking victim sometimes i swear."
"Myah i'm not, i just want to fix us and be better for us. Do you not see how hard i'm trying?" Diego croaked tears streaming down his face.
"I do, Diego. I see it. But at the same time you do pretty dumb shit that hurts me. I don't know if i could be with someone like you."
"Why like me?.. I don't get it?" Diego said sitting up quickly looking over at Myah.
"You can literally get almost any girl you want. And yet you're here with me. You think i feel good knowing that you can get somebody better? No. And the worst part of it all is that you have done shit with other girls. This is the third girl Diego," Myah half yelled.
"I don't want just any girl, i want you! but you're too dumb to see that. I don't care about these hoes tryna fuck with me for publicity. I know i messed up, I kissed Hailey, can't we move past that?"
"I'm tired Diego," Myah said as she laid back down onto the bed pulling the covers over her. Diego looked down at her curiously.
"But were not done talking about this," Diego said resting on his elbow as he leaned over Myah.
"But we are. There's no point," Myah said as she closed her eyes making herself comfortable.
The room fell quiet. All you could hear is the light background music coming from the television playing older episodes of South Park. Minutes passed and Diego still looked down at her hovering above her slightly.
"So what are we," he asked as a tear rolled down his face falling onto the bed. Myah opened her eyes to look up at Diego's dreary eyes.
"I'm single," she whispered before turning onto her side away from Diego, "but i still need you to take care of me until i'm healed," she finished.
"I'm not..," he said as he laid down beside her wrapping his arm around her waist. She shuffled away from him a few inches wanting to keep her distance.
He cried himself to sleep muffling his sounds so Myah wouldn't wake up. He was there wrapped up with her between his arms as he could hear her light snore.
