Best friends, best friend 💔 - Lil Xan

Chapter 24

Gabi's POV
I'm so incredibly worried about to Diego. I know he's been abusing prescription drugs his managers told me. I haven't talked to him about it because I don't want him to get mad at me and push me away when I just wanna be there for him. Right now we're our way to the no jumper studio area so Diego, Ethan and Diablo can film a no jumper live. Ethan, Diablo and I are all smushed in the backseat. Diego's on live talking about how he doesn't think he can do firefly cause he's so sick.

"I've been getting calls from all the people, all the higher ups telling me you gotta do it. So imma hop on the fucking plane and imma fucking do it." He says and my heart breaks for my baby boy.

"I've been, I've been going through so much shit. I just found out, I just found out is a fucking crack head." He says and my eyes widen, I was already aware of this but he shouldn't be talking about it right now, the person driving his car grabs at his phone trying to get him to stop taking.

"I just found out my dad is a fucking crack head." He says again.

"I just." He starts but the guy driving pulls the phone out of his hands but he re grasps it and changes the way he was sitting.

"Yo look, they really tryna take me off live right now!" He says and the guy puts his hands on Diego's face and pulls him closer and Diego drops his phone and mumbles a few inaudible things before cutting the live.

"D." I say and he turns to me and I give him sad eyes.

"What babygirl?" He asks his whole mood changing.

"N-Nothing." I say tears welling up in my eyes.

"Pull over bud." Diego says and the guy ignores him.

"Dude. Pull the fucking car over. My girls about to cry I gotta comfort her!" Diego yells raising his voice making me flinch and Ethan wrap his arms around me.

"Diego, calm down." The guy says.

"No man. Not until you pull over!" Diego says.

"Fucking fine." He mumbles before pulling the car over.

Diego jumps outta the car and opens my door and pulls me into his arms right away and picks me up and pulls me outta the car and shuts the door so no one could hear us.

"What's wrong baby." He asks rubbing my back.

"D, I know. I know your abusing prescription drugs and I'm not gonna lecture you because I don't want you to hate me but I just it scares me. I don't want to be thinking all the time that you might overdose and end up in the hospital or end up dead. Diego I don't know what I'd do with out you. You mean so much to me and I hate seeing you like this it breaks my heart. And watching that guy just put his fucking hands on you like that." I say a single tear falling down my face.

"I'm so sorry princess. I really am. It's just so hard. Everything gets so hard sometimes. My dad left my mom and I for meth. I, I just don't know anymore." He says looking down.

"I know D and that's why I'm really trying my best to keep my cool because I know how much your going through. But it's so hard to see someone you love in so much pain all the time and knowing that they are putting their life in danger." I say tears streaming down my face now.

"I promise Gabi. I'm gonna get my shit together. I slipped up and it was so wrong but it's so hard trying to be sober when my life feels like it's falling apart. The only thing that has stayed constant is you and I can't afford to lose you. Please." He begs running his thumbs under my eyes in attempt to catch my falling tears.

"I know Diego. And you haven't lost me, and you aren't going to lose me as long as you promise to try and get through this. I'll be here every step of the way." I say.

"I promise babygirl as long as you stay by my side." He says and I nod my head and he leans in and kisses my lips and I kiss him back.

"I love you Gabi more than anything else." He mumbles against my lips.

"I love you too Diego. So much." I say.
