"Alex... I" I responded. He knew what I was going to say, but he said the perfect thing.
"Leila I know you love Gio, do what your heart tells you."
When Alex said this, I felt my heart flutter. He always knew what to say to me, it was always so perfect. Of course I want to get back together with Alex, I love him, I really do, but what about Gio? I love him too. Maybe I shouldn't be with either of them if it is going to cause so many problems. Alex and I broke up because he was always jealous of me and other guys, but what if I just overreacted?
"You like, have this pull on me. I just can't get enough of you." I say while sitting down next to Alex. He wrapped his arm around me and hugged me.
"That's not a bad thing." He says while smirking a little.
"Alex...?"
"Yeah?"
"I don't know if I can break up with Gio." I admit this quickly, hoping to soften the blow a little bit.
"Leila I told you, do what your heart tells to do. Don't get back together with to break up again." Alex tells me sincerely. Could it be possible that in a week, Alex matured a lot?
"Ok. That's what I'll do." I say while standing up. "I need to get back home, but talk to your mom, she was so worried about you."
"Leila, thank you for coming. This is what I needed. You showing up gave me hope." He replied as I walked out of his bathroom.

I walked back to my house and headed straight to my room. I needed help deciding what I was going to do. I called Adriana and hoped she would have good advice for me.
"Hello?" Adriana says after picking up the phone.
"Hey, I need your help." I reply.
"I'll be there in 15 minutes." Adriana replies before hanging up her phone.
Adriana knows me so well. I hate that we drifted after Alex and I broke up. After she got here, we went up to my room.
"So what's up?" She asks while laying on my bed.
"Alex. I don't know what to do about him. I love him, but I love Gio. Everything is so complicated since I broke up with Alex." I say.
After I explained the whole story to her, she looked at me in astonishment. I could tell she wanted me to get back together with Alex, I think that most people do, but how do I let Gio down easy?
"He loves you so much. You two are still couple goals!" She squeals.
"What about Gio?" I ask.
"Break up with him, I can tell you love Alex more than you love Gio." She says
"I love him. I love both of them. This isn't fair. I just want to be able to chose one of them and not have to worry about making the wrong choice." I reply.
"You need to choose who you love more. If you love Gio more, stay with Gio. If you love Alex more, get back together with him." She responds to me. "Just don't over think it and it will all end well. Just don't be so uptight, have a little bit of fun Leila." She adds while smiling at me.
I knew who I wanted to be with. He has had such a positive effect on my life, it cancels out all the negatives. I love him so much, I just need to decide how to let the other down easy.
