Valerie || The Weeknd

Outside

Valerie:

I was about to leave until Abel opened the door, making me look up at him. Fuck the perfect timing.

A: “How long have you been standing there?”

V: “How do you know I was here?”

A: “I didn’t, I just wanted to take out the trash, come in.”

I got in and took a look around his new house until he threw his trash away. It was big and furnished with long white walls and wood flooring. It definitely suited his style.

A: “So are you going to tell me why you were standing out there like a creep?” He closed the door.

V: “I thought I forgot my phone in the car and turned back to get it but it was only until you opened the door that I realized it was in my pocket.” I lied.

A: “You suck at excuses, Val. Having second thoughts?”

He knew how to read me. He read me like a book. His experience with women must have helped him with that.

V: “I just broke up with Kyle.” I sighed.

I was indeed skeptical about it. I again left a man I was with for Abel. Was it worth the sacrifice? Kyle was nice and genuine, I wish I could turn back time and undo what I'd just done.

A: “Why?”

V: “Because, you know, if this is going to happen again, then I don’t want to be with someone else.”

A: “So, it's me you wanna be with.”

V: “I don’t know.. I feel bad for him and I can’t keep on wasting my time and leaving relationships behind me like that.” I sighed.

A: “Come on, Valerie. If you really loved him, would you be here right now? I don’t think so. Forget about this shit and have fun with me instead.”

V: “Does that mean sex?”

A: “It sure does.”

I watched Abel taking something out from a bag. It was ecstasy. Fuck, he wouldn’t, not now that he knew I was done with it.

V: “Abel, no..”

A: “Remember what I used to say? We either do this the right way or we do nothing at all.”

V: “But I can’t be addicted again.”

A: “It’s one time. I need to get into my zone, please.”

One time was the biggest lie Abel had ever told me. I was doing amazing with being clean and having a normal life but Abel had to destroy that again.

I watched him beg me. Then I looked at the drugs. I knew the feeling was awesome once you have taken them and I knew sex was indeed better with MDMA and I couldn’t resist it now that it was in front of me.

V: “Fuck this, just give me the pill.”

He gave it to me with a smirk and watched me swallow it. He took his and sat next to me.

A: “I'm so glad to be back.”

V: “Are the boys here too?”

A: “They’re coming next week and in three weeks I'll have my first show here for this season.”

Abel had been releasing new music lately and people had been loving it. I was watching him become more and more successful and I felt proud for him.
