Loneliness [A Leonetta Fanfiction]

Chapter 10: 3 Weeks Later

"Dear Diary,

It's been 3 weeks since Leon and I broke up. It was weird not seeing him all the time like I used to. I haven't seen him around lately...to be honest I miss him. Even after he broke my heart, I still find the situation hard to believe. I loved him....but I guess he didn't love me. But that's the past now. I need to forget about Leon and focus on my new friends."

I stop writing and hide my diary in it's usual hiding spot. I get a text from Camila saying that her and the gang were outside waiting for me in her car. Over these past 3 weeks I had gotten close to Francesca and Camila. It was nice to have more friends. I run outside and get into the car and sit next to Diego in the backseat.

"Hi" He smiles. I smile back.

"Oh my god, stop flirting" Francesca jokes, sitting in the front seat of the car beside Camila.

As Camila starts to drive I stare out the window and start to think about Leon.

"It's cool that Angie's your aunt" Diego says, taking me away from my thoughts.

"Yeah, she's awesome" I say.

We finally arrive at the Studio. Angie asked me to meet her there since Dad, Ramallo and Olga were out of town for the day and Dad didn't want to leave me home alone. As we walk inside Camila and Francesca spot someone they know and talk to them. Leaving me and Diego alone.

"So...." I say, breaking the awkward silence, "Are you happy it's the last day of the Studio until September?"

"Not really" He says with a cheeky smile "because I know that in September you'll be auditioning and I know you'll get it". I start to blush.

I look to my right and I see Leon. This is the first time I've seen him in 3 weeks. I start to feel happy, I want to run over there and kiss him but then I start to remember what happened. He stares at me and then looks at Diego.

Diego puts his arm around me.

"Let's go, Vilu" He whispers in my ear and we walk away.

We walk into Angie's classroom.

"Hey, Vilu!" Angie says, hugging me.

"Hey" I say and I take a seat in the corner of the room. Angie is making me sit in her class all day so she can keep an eye on me.

After a few minutes a bunch of students arrive into the classroom for their lesson. One of those students just so happened to be Leon. He looks at me for a moment before looking away. I hate this, I hate not being with Leon.

"Okay, who want's to display their project first?" Angie asks the class.

"Me" Leon says. He walks towards the piano and starts to play our song. It was the one we wrote when we first met. Before I knew it tears started to fill my eyes. I stand up and run out of the classroom. I run into the locker room. Why did this have to happen? Why couldn't I have kept the Leon I knew for longer.

"Violetta..." I hear a voice say. I turn around and see Leon standing there.

"What do you want?" I say coldly.

"I'm sorry about what happened" He says nervously.

"You're sorry? Sorry about what Leon? about meeting me and pretending to be someone else?" I shout.

"I wasn't pretending to be someone else!" He protests.

"Oh really? Around me you're this nice and adorable guy but around everyone here you're...." I say, stopping mid sentence.

"You don't understand" he says. I shake my head bitterly

"Of course I don't understand. How could you say you don't care about me after everything that happened between us!"

"I do care about you!" Leon shouts.

"Then why would you say you don't!" I shout back.

"Your new friends....you heard what they said about me" Leon says, no longer shouting.

"So?" I say with frustration.

"I thought it was best if we broke up. You heard about how I acted around these people. I thought that after all of the horrible things I've done I didn't deserve you. You had an opportunity to make new friends and I thought that if I let you go....you could be happy" Leon admits.

"That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard, Leon. That still doesn't explain why you're so sweet around me and cruel around them" I say.

"When I first met them I started dating Ludmila and I just went along with what she did. I tried to fit in" He says and sighs.

Suddenly I hear a pitiful laugh. I turn around and see Diego.

"Vilu, don't tell me you actually believe him" He says.

I look at Leon and smile.

"I do"

Leon's face instantly lights up and he smiles.

"But I think we should just be friends" I say.

Leon's frowns for a moment but then nods with understanding.

"Yeah, whatever, Angie wants up back in class" Diego says dimly.

"So you're friends?" Francesca asks taking a bite out of her sandwich. It was now lunch time and Francesca,Camila,Maxi and I were all sat on the stage as I explained what had happened.

I slowly nod.

"If he's really as nice as you make him out to be we'll give him another chance" Maxi smiles.

"Yeah" Francesca and Camila agree.

Suddenly we see Leon walk in with his lunch looking for a place to sit.

"Hey, Leon over here!" Camila shouts. Woah, they were serious?.

Leon hesitates for a moment before he walks over to the stage and sits next to me.

"Listen, We're willing to forget about what happened in the past and move on" Camila says enthusiastically.

"Really?" Leon says with a huge smile.

"Of course" Maxi says.
