[15] watch out

*just wanted to warn y'all that the chapters don't move day by day. just keep that in mind :)*

"how have you been today?" skies asked after another concert.

"great. you?"

"good." he smiles. "is that thing still worrying you?" he asked as both of his eyebrows raised.

"ah, skies, i've told you not to worry!"

"but i can't not worry! the fuck, if i tell you not to worry about whatever shit is worrying you, will it work?" he frowned. he was right, though.

i giggled and shook my head sideways. "it is, skies. but first of all, it's nothing, and second of all, it's not worrying me that much anymore." i say it truthfully. i've been pretty happy about the results of the pics, and that helps me to worry a lot less about me doing a good job. to be honest, i'm not fully happy with it, but happy. and about diego... well, i still need to work on that. but i surely wasn't telling skies that.

"aye that's good! now we just gotta work on getting that to not worry you at all." he smiled and winked at me.

"we who? you don't have anything to do with this."

"but i wanna help you, i wanna help you through it all!" skies looked at me as if he begged me to help.

"what? no! why? i'm not putting you through my bullshit again."

"why?! because i fucking care?" skies said it ironically.

"ok, ok. fair enough. but you still won't help me. good night, skies. sleep well. i'll see you tomorrow." by now we had gotten to our rooms again — that curiously, was always beside each other —, i said good night and went in my room.

throwing myself on the bed as soon as i get to it became routine, it was a moment where i felt relaxed after all; it was where i could go back to all that happened on that day and reflect about it.

i was thinking about today, and when i got to think about skies, i didn't think only about today, but about this whole week.

skies and i have been pretty close lately. skies somehow got to get close to me — even when i didn't want him to.

he's been there for me all the time, all the time worrying, all the time caring. and on top of all — we were friends. just friends. he respected the fact that i still date diego.

"kota?" i heard someone call my name from the door after 3 knocks.

i opened my eyes and slowly got out of bed, walking towards the door. i opened the door and it was alexa. "hey, how are you?"

"i'm good... you?" she nodded with a smile. "wanna... come in?" i asked looking behind me, and then back at her.

she looked both ways before continuing to speak. "ah, no, don't worry. i just came to say some things. won't take more than one minute." she smiled again. i smiled back and nodded, as if telling her to continue. "so... i've noticed you and skies... have grown pretty close, again." that didn't start very well. "i'd just like to tell you to take care, kota. you're in a good relationship with diego, and skies... i know that boy for years now, and he's been... you know, with a lotta girls, always telling them sweet things, that he loves them and all. you've been hurt by him, you know what i'm talking about." this all seemed so strange. why is she telling me all of this so early?

"uh, yeah. i get it. but... why... why are you telling me this? now? what happened?"

"no, nothing. i just thought you deserved to know. you're pretty chill, kota. a cool girl. you deserve someone better than skies. i'm really just saying this to warn you. i'm pretty sure you're better off with diego." she smiled weakly.

"yeah, sure. don't worry, me and skies are just friends." i smiled again, trying to show that i'm sure of what i'm saying. and i am, right?

"great. just watch out and you'll be fine." she said before patting my shoulder and leaving, without even saying bye.

ouch. that was definitely weird. i didn't expect that. i went to the toilet and started getting ready for another day.

after i was ready, i lied down on my bed and looked around for my phone. as soon as i got it i went to unlock it, but the time caught my attention. 3:20am.

"come on guys! it's time!" i heard someone shout from outside the rooms.

it was finally time for us to go. after what happened yesterday with alexa, i didn't get any sleep. i kept thinking about that. what if she's right? what if skies is just trying to get me back, just to hurt me again? what if he's only being nice to fool me again?

i got my bags and my camera stuff. after i had everything ready to go, i took a last look around to make sure i wasn't forgetting anything in the room.
