Rihanna did not abandon Chris Brown and got back together with the "Don't Judge Me" singer, who also happened to be the "Umbrella" singer's first love and only official relationship for a long time. In a Vanity Fair interview, Rihanna described feeling protective toward Chris Brown. Rihanna related how she felt she might a guardian angel to Chris Brown.

"Maybe I'm the person who's almost the guardian angel to this person, to be there when they're not strong enough, when they're not understanding the world," Rihanna shared. "[...] When they just need someone to encourage them in a positive way and say the right thing."

Rihanna eventually realized that she had to walk away from Chris Brown. The singer clarifies that although she and Chris Brown are not friends, neither is Rihanna enemies with the "Say Goodbye" singer.
