The last couple of days have been really boring. I've been hanging out with the guys and I haven't been alone with Zabdiel since my bruises got better and he stopped being on my house all the time.
I went to work only because I had to. I was tired and all I wanted was some days off at home.

As I walk out of the college's bathroom putting my headphones on my ears, I see Zabdiel walking fast coming my way. I pretend I didn't see him and continue walking. He grabs my wrist stopping me.

-What are you doing? - He asks frowning with his mouth slightly open. I see a hurt look stamped on his eyes.

-What do you mean? - I totally knew what he meant but I didn't want to give it away. Or have to explain anything. Or have a deep talk with him. I wanted to run and hide.

-Angel, stop. Did I do something?

-No, why? - I simply say.

-Then why are you avoiding me? - He asks looking
down. I hated myself for making him feel sad, but I wasn't happy myself either.

-Im not. - I say like it's obvious.

-Its been a week Angel. - He says bringing his head up and looking deeply into my eyes. I breath deeply and stay silent for a few seconds until I hear her voice.

-Hi, guys! - Steph says and I fake a smile. He looks at her sadly smiling and I start walking.

-I need to go to class. See you later. - I say faking a happy voice as she waved smiling and he gave me a sad look.

He knew I didn't have class now. I have fifteen minutes until my first class. I enter the classroom and sit by myself, there was nobody there. I put my backpack on the table and lay my head on top of it thinking about what he said.

It's been a week. A week since I made the mistake of telling Stephanie to sit with us. A week since she's nice and the guys like her. A week since Zabdiel always smiles at what she says. A week since I feel left out when I'm around my friends. A week since I've been alone with Zabdiel. A week since I started avoiding him. A week since I hug him. A week since I feel his touch.

I shouldn't feel like this, I should feel happy for her change and happy that she got rid of her old friends. But I couldn't.

I feel someone entering the room but I dont mind to look up until I feel someone kneeling and kissing my cheek. I look up to see Richard with a sad grin on his face.

-Is everything okay baby? - I ask as he sit on the chair next to me putting his elbows in his knees.

-I don't know, you tell me. - I frown looking at him. I start getting worried and move my hands uncomfortably.

-Did I do something? I'm sorry Rich, I... I didn't mean it.
-I say trying to fix whatever I did wrong.

-I saw Zabdiel almost crying in the hall today. You know that he likes to have his heartless reputation. He's not okay. And you're not okay either. Please try to fix whatever is wrong with you two. I can't see you like this. - Richard says looking deeply into my eyes and I start winking fast trying my best not to cry.

I don't answer him. Instead, I get up from my seat and sit on the middle of his legs hugging his torso. I needed a hug. He hugs me back tightly before breathing deeply.

-Ive never seen you like this. -He says before kissing my forehead. -Do you want to tell me what happened? - I shake my head and he snorts. -Why did I already knew the answer? - I snort and look at him smiling big at me. -Theres people looking at us, do you wanna stay there? - I look around to see half the classroom on their sits looking at us.

-Fuck. - I whisper snorting and getting off his arms. He laughs quietly as I sit on my seat.

-Do you want to skip? - He asks and I shake my head. I was already skipping too much. And not studying. I'm really not helping myself. -Okay, I'm gonna go to class then. Meet you in the cafeteria. - He says getting up and kissing my forehead. - And don't forget what we talked about. - He whispers before leaving the classroom.

I see Zabdiel leaning in his locker and start walking faster towards him. I'm trying to follow Richard's advice and try to fix things. Truth is I was the one to mess them up and start avoiding him. I only see his back but I see he's talking to someone, probably one of the guys.

-Zab, I need to - I see a guy I've never seen before in my whole entire life and open my eyes widely. - Oh, ahm, sorry to interrupt. We'll talk later. - I say but he stops me and pulls me into the corner of the hall telling his friend he'll be back soon.

-Are you okay? - He asks looking at every feature on my face. I nod and give him a little smile.

-Are you?

-Yeah. - He nods giving me a sad smile.

-Im so sorry for this week. Do you want to come over today? - I ask and he nods quickly. I laugh and when he realizes how quick he was, he nodded slowly.

-Meet in the cafeteria? - He asks and I smile and whisper.

-Yeah. - He kisses my hair and goes back to his friend and I feel a arm around my shoulders.

-Well done. - Richard whispers and kisses my cheek as I shake my head smiling.

Hey Angels, hope you don't find me annoying. I hope you still enjoy this story. And i just wanted to say that if y'all have some personal questions you would like to ask like a get to know me thing, I would love to do that. Either in the comment section or here in the end of a chapter. So if y'all would like that, send me questions. I'm a Leo and I like a attention oops.
