Chapter 13

... Mariely just looked at them both from one side to the other as if she was hypnotized, she began to breathe heavily wanting to cry ...

-I'll make it easier for you, then. I'm not your boyfriend anymore- Ruben swallowed his pain, took a proud pose, and turned towards the door, to leave.

-Ruben, please. Listen to me…

-It´s over. I gave you the option to think about it and you looked me in the face, swearing that you loved me and wanted to be with me

-DO YOU THINK IT IS EASY FOR ME?-She asked- DO YOU BOTH BELIEVE IT?-

-AND DO YOU THINK IT WAS FOR ME? AWAY FROM MY MOTHER, MY FRIENDS AND YOU? IT WASN'T ... IF I WAS PERFECTLY WRONG ...

-WHAT DID YOU WRONG? DID YOU WRONG, YAHIR? LOOK AT THE IDIOT YOU DID AND HOW YOU HURT US ALL. YOU WHO WERE THE KINDEST, THE MOST ADMIRED, LOVED AND COURAGEOUS FLEE FOR AN IDIOT? I LOOKED FOR YOU TO SPEAK AND WE WERE BOTH STUPID BY HOW WE DISCUSSED ...- She clenched his fists ... ALL OF THIS HAPPENED BY YOUR FAULT TO START, YOU PRETENDED YOUR DEATH ...

-WHAT DOES THE PAST MATTER? WHAT DOES IT MATTER WHAT YOU HAD? I AM WAS YOUR BOYFRIEND, MARIELY ... WHY ..? WHY ARE YOU NOT ABLE TO LET IT GO AND LET IT GO FOR ME? - Now tears were falling. The pain, jealousy, and love for the redhead in his eyes- I ... I no longer have anything to do here ...- The black-haired man left.

Yahir saw her, he stayed there for a few minutes watching how she broke down because of the situation, she restrained herself by the situation and just sighed- You are right, forgive me ... I ... I have no right ...- She also came out - I didn't want to cause you problems ...

Mariely closed the door, the door slammed loudly and gave a heartrending cry inside the place, falling sitting down- Don't go, Yahir ... Don't go, Ruben ... DON'T LEAVE ALONE-

Ruben ran through the streets quickly, preventing people from seeing his tears fall and when he got home, he just locked himself in his room. He cried and cried with his wounded heart.

He never thought that she would break his heart and prefer him ...

After a while of crying non-stop and struggling with her insides, she wondered how she would see the redhead now in the band and at school.

He clenched his teeth and fists in real frustration, slamming the wall. In the end, if he had been right. Love relationships within the band wouldn't work. How could they coexist together now? Should he quit the band? He didn't want to bring his problems into the band or bring Alan and Hannah into it, but he knew that living together would be difficult.

Maybe he should just fulfill his functions within the band, have a cordial relationship with Mariely for peace and return to the monotony of before ... But he still had a chance ...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yahir was not in the best condition either, in his room. Although now that he was free he might ...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Ruben hasn't come in 3 days. Do you know why? - The blonde questioned the vocalist.

-I haven't seen it, either. He's been avoiding me. He has not gone to the classroom where we meet. He's avoiding me since we broke up- Mariely honestly looked straight at the floor.

-Did you break up?

-He decided to broke up with me- Tears were streaming down her face- Sorry for the problems. I promise you that I will solve it and our breakup will not cause conflict. And it's better, no one else will know.

Both blondes came over and hugged her. They didn't judge her, they just gave her emotional support and let her vent.

-Hailey, could you tell me how to play this part?- She decided to break the ice after her tears stopped.

The bassist just smiled indicating, they kept rehearsing, playing their new song, until a chestnut tree came in clapping on that cafeteria stage.

-Yahir

-You did very well- I kept clapping happily.

-How did you know where I was? - he frowned, moved her head slightly in circles, and finally smiled- You followed me here- She affirmed

-Am I that obvious?- He scratched his head and laughed.

-Mmmmm- she nodded

An awkward silence reigned in the place and the chemistry between those 2 was obvious.

-Hailey, Alan, this is my ... My friend, Yahir Yog.

-Friend? - They asked confused at the same time

-Yes- the boy agreed- They are my friends Alan and Hailey.

-Nice to meet you- He shook his head- I know you guys have helped Mariley a lot and I appreciate it-

-Nice to meet you, too-They both said at the same time and shaking his hand.

-Hailey, what do we do? Should we be good or bad to him? It is interfering between them 2- Alan said when they both turned around for a moment and turned their backs on the teenagers.

-You just be polite ...

-So you are responsible for the name of our band- Alan said with a smile.

-The name of your band?- was surprised.

-When we chose a name for the band, Mariely suggested the name, because fate had taken what she loved. It is a small tribute. If it weren't for her we wouldn't have gotten this far. It was lucky that Ruben met her and brought her.

That surprised him- What you were playing sounds great. Would you mind if I stayed to listen to you?

-There is no problem.

The 3 of them started playing until Yahir interrupted them- It doesn't sound bad but what if they do ...- He gave some advice that they quickly put into practice and the improvement became obvious in a matter of minutes, his ability was obvious ...

-You're right. Sounds great- The bassist was admired- Thanks for the advice- He said in wonder.

-I hadn't thought about speeding up the battery.

And so he continued giving them some advice improving.

-Mariely is not bad, but if you play these notes like this- He indicated and took her hands moving her fingers on the strings as a guide, and stood behind her. That was what he had wanted, to compose with him, in the same harmony and love for music.

-Yahir, we need to know what Ruben's part would sound like. Would you mind helping us with that? - Hailey handed him a guitar that was in the corner- And if you could give us any other advice, we'd appreciate it.

Yahir played the guitar, got carried away, and the song sounded better. He and Mariely saw each other lost in the eyes at that moment, the music stopped playing and only music played in the air.

Ruben entered and was surprised by what he heard. But his heart ached and jealousy was present when he saw the scene- So You already replaced me with the guitar. You could tell me and avoid the trip.

-Ruben. No ... No ... It's not that. Yahir was only helping us ...

-I see that you already have a lot of confidence in him. Well, then I'll go if you already have your guitarist. The band doesn't need 3 ... Bye ...

-I don't mean to take your place away, I was just ...

-I'll go with Savannah and Hannah. We are even.

-I got carried away. I hadn't played with a band for a long time, the adrenaline and ...

-See you later ...- Ruben held up 2 fingers.

-Wait ...- Mariely wanted to go after him, but he gave her a cold look and continued on his way. Which hurt her.

- It was just a misunderstanding. Don't worry, Yahir ...- Alan put his hand on his shoulder, he tried to understand the boy and saw in his face that he didn't want to bother Ruben.

-Now they also betray me- Ruben thought- Does he want to take over my life? -His face was serious...
