The Past

2- Lost Luis

Somehow, I found Luis in a bar, drinking.

"One more shot, for my broken heart." He slurred his word at the bartender, the shot was placed right in-front of him but before he could take it, I quickly grab it. "Hey!"

He turn his body and his eyes popped out. "Hi Luis."

"G-gabby? You're not supposed to be back until next week."

I shake my head in disappointment, "it's that week Luis. You want to tell me why you are drinking your feelings away?"

He smacks his lips and tries to grab the drink, but I quickly drank it. He sighs and lowered his eyes down to the floor. "I needed to think."

"Oh okay." I said sarcastically. "Drinking and thinking don't do well honey, now get your ass up because we are heading home."

He shakes his head, "nope! I need more liquor."

I place my bag on the counter, giving up the idea to leave. "At least tell me why you guys broke up?"

He slumps down into his seat. "Well, first! We had a disagreement, very stupid. We talked about how she wanted to move in together, but I was like it way to soon. So she said fine, second argument was about money, saying I needed to stop buying her shit. I just wanted to spoil her. Third argument and final, she wants me to quit this job."

"What job?"

"Being with you, in charge and getting shot all the time." I heard Luis has got shot but it was nothing major. "She wasn't too fond of me getting hurt, but you know, I'm used to it. Obviously she is not but like, I like I love this job! I don't tell her to quit her dream job! The fuck."

I rub his shoulder as his eyes was closed. "She doesn't want you to get hurt Luis, she scared."

"I'm scared too! But I'm over it, and I'm fine." His eyes was closed but somehow still nodding his head.

I got off the stool and grab his arm, "let's go." I pull his arm and groans, he takes his time leaving the stool.

I put him inside the car, he was sleeping the whole ride. I couldn't stop thinking but, how Jett must feel. Too see me hurt and scared each time, or maybe he's too young to understand. I haven't told him what we do, he's too young and I want him to have a normal childhood before telling him this life.

He's my child, and I need to protect him.

I feel like a mom, that's because I am one.

And I'm only 20.

This life I am in, do I really see myself be in it for the rest of my life? Or is it just temporary?

I love the job honestly but is it worth getting my family endangered for it?

I place Luis on his bed, and I put the covered over him and he slowly close his eyes quickly. Before turning, he grabs my arm. "Don't leave me."

My heart breaks for him, "im not leaving, im always on your side Luis. No matter the consequences, you have helped me, let me help you back in return."

He smiles and I walk to the other side of the bed. He get comfortable and start sleeping. I look at the ceiling and slowly my eyes were closing.

I love Luis, and it hurts to see him so broken. I wonder how he felt when I was hard core broken?

.....

"Shhh. They sleeping." Hearing a small voice speak. "They sleep funny?" You got that right.

I could feel Luis arm on my head and his leg on my ass. It wasn't as comfortable but when you are dead asleep, it's super comfortable. "Hey shhh, let them sleep. He's been having a hard time."

"Gabby?" Someone whispered next to me and realize it was Luis.

"Yeah?" I whispered back.

"Let's scared them." I nod at him and we quickly sit up and scared the jibbys out of them.

They both screamed and jumped. "Not cool." Jett spoke.

Luis groan, "andddddd I have a headache."

"Ha dumbass."

I eyed Franco and he shrugged, Franco walked to my side and kiss my cheek. Luis kept opening and closing his eyes, trying to focus on his headache.

"Well, I'm going to get food. Cats cooking!" Jett ran out the room with excitement.

I turn to Franco, "Cats cooking?" I ask him and he nods, I clapped my hand and quickly got off the bed.
"Piggy back ride?" I ask him.

"Don't break my back." Luis laughs and I smack Franco shoulder.

I got on his back and he started walking out the room, and heading straight to the kitchen!

Cat was there talking to Danny while placing pancakes on the plate. "You made French pancakes!" I squealed.

"Of course bitch."

"Put me down, put me down, put me down." I repeat the words to Franco, he nicely place me on the floor and I ran to grab some food.

We all seated around the table: Haven, Matt, Luis, Danny, Manny, Franco, Cat, Jett, Oliver, Alex.

The main people.

"Gabby do you mind checking out Duró? I heard something is up but I'm not sure. Also, you can take whoever you want." Manny said while talking a bite of his food.

I look and Franco and he smirks.

"Sure what not." I replied.

"When does school start?" Jett ask, Jett was seating next to Haven across from me.

"I think this upcoming Monday, which remind me we need to take you to get school supplies." I told him and he nods.

"We can take him." I look off my plate and directed my eyes to Matt.

"Really?"

"Yeah, If that's okay with you?"

"No, that's okay." I smiled at Haven, and he blushed.

They been thinking about getting a baby, but not sure if they actually will go through with it.
