Brother's friend

Confession

Things have been a little tense with the boys and I since that little talk after the party. It's awkward. When they come over they go straight to Mattia's room. They don't bother to say hi anymore. I rarely have Mar over anymore, so I'm usually at his house. I mean, as friends they don't have a problem with mar. It's just our relationship that they hate. Yes, hate.

It sucks cause I want my brother to like my boyfriend, and he does, but Idk, it's confusing. I haven't talked to Ale in a hot minute. Which sucks because now that Alvaro is gone, i don't have anyone to really talk to (in person). I still sc Alvaro and ft him, but it's not the same without him here :( And Roshauna (can't forget the queen bee)

In fact, I'm heading over to Mar's house right now. I'm deciding if I should tell him about what happened the night of the party. I don't want him to be mad at Alejandro though. But knowing Mar, he would. I just want to talk to Mar, especially about him saying he loves me. I just need to know if it's true.

I arrive at Mar's house and see him peeking through the window with a giddy smile. Awww, he looks so happy. I walk up the stairs and he opens the door.

Mar: there's my girl.

He pulls me in for a hug.

Mila: we need to talk.

Automatically his smile turns into a serious face.

Mar: oh. Please tell me you're not breaking up with me.

Mila: no, god no. You tweak.

I step inside and he closes the door.

Mar: good, cause i got scared for a quick second.

We walk up to his room, and I see his mom walk out of the bathroom.

Mrs. Castano: hola, Mila. How are you sweety?

Mila: oh, I'm good Mrs. castano. How are you?

MC: good good. Just dealing with this stupido.

She points to Mar.

I laugh.

Mila: i know the struggle. I'm with him almost 24/7. I get it

Mar just grabs my hand and drags me into his room. I sit on his lovesack and he falls on top of me.

Mila: ow, mar you weigh like 1000 pounds more than me.

Mar: are you calling me fat?

Mila: yes, now get off.

Mar: damn shorty. Alright. What did you want to talk about?

I grab onto his chain that is now around my neck and start playing with it.

Mila: do you want this back?

Mar: why would I want it back? I gave it to you for a reason.

Mila: i just want to know why. I mean, i know it's just a chain, but i don't know. I just don't get it.

Mar: what don't you get?

Mila: you said you loved me.

Mar: yeah?

Mila: and I felt like you kinda just said it just to say it. Or because you were... (i whisper) high.

Mar: mamas, listen. What I said the other night, i meant. I remember what I said, and of course I meant it. I do love you Mila.

I smile.

Mar: i just hope you didn't just say it back to make me happy.

Mila: i meant it too. Because i do love you. I always have.

Mar: always will.

He gets up and sits next to me on the sack. He grabs my hand and looks at the chain.

Mar: and for me to give you my chain, I know it doesn't look like a lot, but my abuelo gave it to me before he died. It has value. And i wanted you to have it, for you to remember that you have value to me.

Mila: aww Mar. i didn't know.

Mar: no, it's fine. I just want you to know, i know that you are worth it. Imma marry you one day shorty. Just you wait.

Mila: I'd like that Mar. a lot actually.

Mar: good cause you don't have a choice. You have my chain now. We are practically married.

Mila: it's only fair if I give you something of mine.

Mar: not a scrunchie.

Mila: I'll take note of that. Give me some time to figure it out. I'll find something though.

He nods. He gives me a quick kiss on my forehead. We just lay there in comfortable silence until we both fall asleep in each other's arms.

I guess now is not the time to bring up Alejandro.

I know this chapter was short and I'm sorry for not updating in a few days. I've been busy with finals and stuff. But I'll be updating more this weekend probably :)
