"what's wrong?" Miguel asked as I was zoned out. "oh. uh. nothing." I stuttered. he looked at me and said nothing. "fine. daniel sent Robby to jail." I mumbled not giving the full story. "oh." "you think the surgery is gonna work?" I questioned changing the subject. he shrugged, "Nah, all we can do is hope."
before I could open my mouth, my favourite person walked in. sam Larusso. "hey." she called out grabbing Miguel's attention. "hey." "I hope it's okay, me just showing up like this. how are you." Miguel sarcastically smiled and looked away at the question that had an obvious answer.
"I mean... sorry, i... it's a stupid question." she stumbled over her words. "I have surgery on Friday. some doctor from out of state who supposedly works miracles." Miguel explained. "that's great, right?"
"We aren't getting our hopes up." I spoke up, Miguel nodded in agreement. "the surgery costs a ton. my mom's gonna be in debt. and there is no guarantee it will work but..." he said sadly.
"if anyone can beat the odds, it's you." sam smiled, can she leave? she noticed nobody acknowledged her and went to feel her scar. "is that from tory?" Miguel asked.
"oh, uh, yeah. it's really not that bad. kinda makes me look tough." she giggled. Miguel looked straight ahead with an angry look. "I'm sorry about that sam." he apologized. "you didn't do anything. she's the one who decided to go crazy."
"well, you're the one who decided to kiss her girlfriend." I scoffed. earning a dirty look from sam. Miguel grabbed my hand and looked at me with a look that told me to stop.
"torys had a rough life. her mom is sick and-" Miguel started before sam interrupted him. "everybody's got a sob story. doesn't give you the right to be a bully."
"Yeah, what's yours?" I mumbled. "what?" "nothing." I smiled. sam sighed before handing Miguel a card. "I just wanted to give you this. it's just a card." the card had a big heart and a bunch of little hearts with an octopus in the middle that said, 'you octopi my thoughts.' Miguel chuckled at the card. why is he chuckling? why are there hearts? I am just overthinking this.
asmile grew on Miguel's face, felt a huge wave of anger run through me, and a little bit of jealousy. why am I jealous? Adelaide, you're overthinking it.
"Miguel I am so sorry." she whispered. "for all of us." she said louder with tears building up in her eyes. "it's uh... it's okay."
"el serpentine!" hawk exclaimed at the door, his face hardened when he saw sam standing there. "I'm gonna go." sam spoke softly. hawk stopped to talk to her. "hey you okay?" Miguel asked probably noticing my angry expression. "hm? oh yeah. I'm great." I weakly grinned.
hawk gained a smile and came over, "Hey bro, what's up man? you good?" he greeted doing their handshake. "I like the spot." hawk teased, Miguel laughed, "holding up?" he asked. "eh. yeah." whenever hawk came by Miguel was the happiest.
