Chapter 7 I love you

How can I resist? I get in to the blanket and lay myself beside him. He curled himself hugging my waist his head laying slightly below my boobs. He looks like a little baby in his mother's arm. So adorable! I put my hand on his head rubbing it, to help him sleep but I heard him talking.

Abel: "you know, they always say I am a cheater but I never cheated on her. I might be an asshole, a jerk or anything but never a cheater!"

Maria: "I know" I said as I continue running my hand through his hair.

Abel: "the first time she told the world that I cheated on her, it was because I was trying to be friendly with her friend Hailey. Why? Coz I want her to be friendly with my boys so I thought she want the same. I am not a type of person who enjoy people's company but I was trying to do that for her. Then she get mad and break up with me. The next day, I called Hailey and we meet up and I asked her to explain to Bella there is nothing between us. But the paparazzi spotted us and it was all over the media saying 'the weeknd cheated on Bella with her best friend Hailey Baldwin.' Bella was already angry, the drama in the media added up to it, making it worst."

Maria: "why didn't you explain this to the media?"

Abel: "what for? I am not dating the media! I am not Bella taking everything to the media. My innocence is to be proved for the one I love. I proved that to her and she get back with me. After that, it was her responsibility to defend her man, but she...''

Maria: "wow you are different from what people think about you"

Abel: "who cares about what they think... it is just that Bella don't trust me because of how the media portrays me. The media only know 'the weeknd' not Abel" he sighted and continued.

Abel: "we were fine, but this media is making things hard for her, she feels like I am goanna leave her for another girl sooner or later so she always dump me for no reason just so she can tell the world she dumped me coz I cheated, just like the last time she did, the day I mat you, that day she leave me coz I was talking to a model for my music video in the studio."

Maria: "it will be okay this time we will talk to her" I said trying to sink everything he told me.

I was thinking about what happened in my life since I met him and I realized, this guy is different and I have fallen in love with Abel Tesfaye. I know I have fallen for him months ago but I try to tell myself it is merely friendship but everytime I get to know him more I fall for him more than I did the last day.

Maria: "abel I love you" I whispered. I don't know why I said that, I regret it right away, but then I heard him snoring. He talked about everything he kept to himself for years and now he is sleeping peacefully. He looked so fucking hot and adorable at the same time. I thank the lord that he did hear me and before I know it I fall asleep.

Lamar's POV

I waited for Maria to call me but she didn't even pick my calls let alone call me. I am worried about both of them.

What could possibly happen? I called Freddy and he told me he left Maria at the beach because she texted him not to wait for her. I was really angry on Freddy, why did he just leave her there? I remember what Abel told me about Maria trying to commit suicide at the beach. Did it happen again? Did she try to commit suicide because Abel disappeared? Coz I know Maria have fallen in love with him long ago even though she try to run away from her feelings. I didn't want to ask her coz I see no love sigh from my brother towards her except a friendly love.

I been with Abel since junior high school but never in my life have I ever saw Abel having such a friendly relationship with a girl.
It is either they end up being in relationship or just be sex buddies. But with Maria, it is pure care and friendly love. He care for her like the sister her never had. I really feel pity for Maria, coz I know this isn't goanna end well for her. I saw the way she look at him and I sometimes even caught her giving him a good night kiss while he is sleeping, she is deeply in love. But is that love strong enough to make her commit suicide?"
