Like we used to.

Chapter 6

"Since when do I get gifts just for your birthday?"

"You actually don't to be honest."

"Forget that."He said then pulled out a bracelet with a locket attached to it and engraved 'I'm your reason to smile when you don't have one and your reason to be happy when you feel like you aren't'

He put it on my wrist as I looked at it. "Oh my gosh Chris, you didn't need to."I exclaimed as I looked at it with awe.

"Open the locket."He said with a smile on his face.

I clicked the locket open to see a picture of me and Chris.

I turned to him, my eyes brimmed with happy tears. "T-Thank you so much."

"It's nothing."He said as he looked at me and let out a sigh. "I'm sick of him thinking he's got a hold of you or whatever on you that he can dictate your life and he can't. So I got you this, whenever you see him and I'm not there or anywhere near you, you look at this and remember what I said. And look at it whenever actually because i got it to make you happy for you to realise that you are more then what you believe you are."His voice ever so soft. "Because you, Amal Malakand Sanchez are amazing and you will have times when you can't do or move but you look at this and you will."

Tears streamed down my face and I threw my arms around him. "Thank you so much Chris, you are an amazing best friend more than anyone can ask for."

He pulled away from the hug and wiped my tears away with his thumbs. "It's the least I could do."

"I hope we are best friends until death do us part."

"I do."

Tears streamed down my face as I looked down at the bracelet in front of me.

Nothing lasts forever.

What we had was amazing and I will forever miss it but he moved on and he doesn't want to know.

I wiped my tears away but more streamed down my face as I let out a sniff.

We can say we will be together forever but nothing lasts forever nothing stays the same.

Anouk walked into the room and looked at me. "Amal?"

I quickly wiped my tears away and put the bracelet back in the box and closed the lid. "Yeah?"

"Dad called. He needs us well you."

"Let's go."

-

"Seriously maluma?"I said with a chuckle as I looked at him.

He let out a soft chuckle. "I'm serious. I did that, i embarrassed myself so bad."

"It'll be fine."I said as I patted his hand. "She'll realise that you are the one she wants."

"I just hope she realises it sooner though."He said with a sigh.

"Just forget about it for now."

"I'll try to."

"Your release party is tonight."I said with a grin. "It's gunna be amazing."

"I hope she comes."Maluma said with a smile. "I sent her invite, hopefully she'll come."

"Yeah she will."

Anouk walked in with Zabdiel and Erick.

"Hey Amal!"Zabdiel said with a smile and looked at Maluma. "Hey Mal!"

Maluma looked at him and smiled. "Hey Zabi."He looked at Erick. "Hey Erick."

"Hey."Erick said as he looked at him with half a smile.

"The guys need new music sheets."Anouk said as she looked at me. "We are looking for them but can't find them."

"Look in the draw where we keep the extra drumsticks."

"Thanks."

Zabdiel looked at Maluma. "We are going, I'll see you later."

"See ya at the party, amigo."Maluma said with a smile.

They nodded and left the room. Maluma looked at me and grinned. "Zabdiel likes you."

"Shut up."

He let out a tut then looked at me. "You are coming to my party though?"

"Don't know. Need to think about just incase you try to set me up with someone."

"That wasn't my fault last time."Maluma said as he looked at me with a serious look. "How did I know that Jose was gunna snog someone?"

I rolled my eyes. "Who else did you invite then?"

"Everyone."He replied in a duh tone.

"Does that include the CNCO boys too?"

He nodded. "They are my friends you know, I get along with them of course I'm gunna invite them."

"Okay."

He looked at me. "I know that tone."

"What tone?"

"You are doing it again."He said with a sigh and looked at me. "You are coming Amal, you helped with this album I'll even get ready at yours if I have to or send a link over for you."

"You are coming Amal."He added in a stern tone. "I'll make sure of it."

"Okay."

He gave me a look. "You are coming."

"Fine I'm coming."

What do you guys think so far? Is it okay?
