Abel:
With everything going on like going to therapy with Bella, us working things out, getting engaged and starting to plan a wedding, I was so overwhelmed.

I felt like I was spending an unhealthy amount of time with Bella so when she had to go to Paris for work, I was so happy that I finally had time to go to the studio.

When I walked in Belly and Lamar were already there.

"Well, well, well, look who finally has time to hang!" Belly said as I sat in a chair near the soundboard.

"I know, I feel like it's been forever since the last time I got to record."

"That's because it has been forever!"

"Yeah, you been too busy going to couples therapy and picking out wedding cake." Lamar chimed in. "I can't believe you're really gonna marry Bella."

"Right, especially after that ugly ass break up y'all had. Plus I thought you were coolin with that Hawaiian girl." Belly said. "You ain't never tell us why you stopped talking to her."

I shrugged. "Things just didn't work out."

"How so?"

"They just didn't."

I didn't like talking about Liah because I knew I hurt her and I still felt bad about it all these months later. I had real feelings for her and was willing to break things off with Bella to be with her, but then Bella guilt tripped me into staying with her and working things out in therapy...and now we're engaged.

"That's not an answer, just tell us what the fuck happened."

I sighed heavily as I ran a hand through my hair. "Well at first Liah and I were just friends and I liked her, you know? But I still loved Bella so she convinced to start talking to her again and I did but things between her and I just weren't the same. And the more time I spent with Liah just made me realize that I wanted to be with her instead."

"So what happened?"

"Bella and I got into an argument at a restaurant one night and Liah was there on a date at the same place. I went and talked to her in the hallway and she wanted me to come see her later that night so when Bella and I got back to the beach house, she started bitching and I said I was gonna go for a walk and she knew I was just gonna go see Liah so she turned the water works on. She started crying and made me feel bad so I told her I'd stay with her."

"So she guilted you back into a relationship?"

"Pretty much."

"So why are you still with her? And why the fuck did you propose?"

"I guess I'm just in too deep now." I shrugged. "So I might as well stay."

"Are you happy with Bella?"

"No...these last few weeks have felt like hell and I just feel like I'm slipping back into my depression."

"Then you should leave bro. Do you still have feelings for Liah?"

"Yeah...I was really falling for her...but I'm sure she hates me now so it doesn't matter."

"How do you know if you haven't talked to her?"

"I don't know."

"Exactly. Maybe you should try reaching out to her."

"I'll think about it..."

"Well I'ma leave you to think, 'cause I gotta go now." Belly said as he stood up. "But I really think you should reach out to her."
