Loneliness [A Leonetta Fanfiction]

Chapter 14: What Should I Do?

"Dear Diary,

It's been a week since Leon caught me at the Movie Theatre with Diego and I haven't seen him since. I can't stop thinking about him, I don't know what to do. I'm sick of this, I just want to be with him but it's too late. Going out with Diego was a mistake that I think I'm going to regret for a long time"

I sigh and stop writing. For a moment I sit on my bed in silence, lost in my thoughts. Suddenly there was a knock on my bedroom door.

"Come in...." I say, still lost in thought. My bedroom door opens and Francesca walks in. I notice tears in her eyes and her make up running down her face.

"Fran, what is it?" I say, instantly jumping to my feet to make sure if she's okay. She closes the bedroom door and shakes her head. She takes a seat on my bed and places her head in her hands.

"Come on, it's okay, tell me" I say, sitting beside her. She starts to wipe her tears.

"Marco broke up with me" She finally says. She stands up and starts to pace back and forth, babbling on about how Marco was moving and didn't tell her until the last minute.

"So he's gone?" I ask, offended that he didn't even bother to say goodbye to me. Francesca nods and sighs. She runs her hand through her hair and looks at me.

"I heard about what happened at the movies" She says, changing the subject. I sigh and lie on my bed.

"Don't remind me" I groan, grabbing a pillow and throwing it over my face.

"You need to talk to Leon" Francesca says in a serious tone. She grabs the pillow away from my face.

"I doubt he wants to see me" I say, sitting up, "I doubt Diego does either".

"Are you kidding?" Fran says, "Diego adores you!, he'll get over you soon" I just shrug and look out the window.

"Leon will come around" Francesca assures me.

After my talk with Francesca, I decided to go for a walk on my own to be left alone with my thoughts. I end up arriving at the park and sit on a bench, watching a children chase each other around.

"Hey" A familiar voice says. I look to my left and see Leon standing there. My heart starts to speed up, I have no clue what to say.

"Herifih" I end up blurting out. Oh my god, that's not even a word. He stares at me in confusion, then sits down.

" 'Herifih' to you too" he jokes. I raise an eyebrow, why doesn't he seem mad. Last week he was completely devastated.

"How did you find me?" I ask, actually speaking English.

"Francesca told me where you were" he says. Francesca, ugh I should've known. "Look, I'm sorry for freaking out about you and Diego going out. It was none of my business, I heard it didn't work out though"

"Did Francesca tell you that?" I ask. He hesitates for a moment.

"Diego did" he says casually.

"What?!" I gasp, my jaw instantly dropping.

"He came by my house and explained everything"

We both sit there in silence for a moment.

"Leon, we need to talk about us" I finally say, he instantly stares into my eyes in a concerned manor.

"What do you mean?" He asks, still staring into my eyes.

"I still love you" I say quietly.

"I still love you," he says, he grabs my hand, "So why can't we be together?"

Before I knew it, Leon was leaning in to kiss me. I sit there in panic, If I kiss him we'll be back together but if I don't then we're not. If I kiss him, I'll hurt Diego even though he told Leon about what happened but I'm still not 100% sure how Diego feels, I don't want to hurt him. What should I do?
