My Bestfriend's Father (Spooky)

Chapter 42

Oscar

It's been a while since the whole hospital meltdown and graduation is just around the corner for Tez and Mione. The days are counting down that I will see them leave me and it hurts like hell. Watching Tez fall in love with a girl named Anna and watching Mione knowing she will probably choose Caltech. I know she told me that she loved me but I can't bare the thought of holding her back. She refuses to answer my questions about Caltech or even the community college. She won't even tell me what she wants to do with the rest of her life. I think she's scared to tell me because she thinks I'll try to talk her into a different choice. I won't do that to her. I just want to see her happy and able to do anything she wants without thinking of others. That's all I ever really wanted for her.

I feel like I'm watching the best times of my life slowly slip away into nothingness. Those two kids are my whole world. They are everything I've ever wanted. Tez is the best son I could ever ask for. Mione is the love of my life, I could never find someone else like her. Just thinking about them leaving me hurts like hell. Having Tez is the best thing in the world. Watching him become a strong hearted young man makes me realize how great I done raising him. When I found out Carmen was pregnant I freaked out thinking I was gonna fuck it up completely. Little did I know my son was my saving grace. He's smart, funny, loco, talented, down to earth, and strong. If it wasn't for him I'd probably be dead.

Now Mione, that girl is a straight up firecracker. Smart, funny, loco, beautiful, sweet, caring, loving, and accepting as hell. I knew if it wasn't for her Tez would be dumber than a box of rocks. I mean I suck at math and reading and all that other shit they teach in school. If it wasn't for Mione knowing her shit then Tez would be failing everything. I can't teach him shit I don't even understand. She is just all around one of the best people I have ever met. I'm gonna hate when she leaves but it's for the best. She doesn't need me holding her back from success. If we were meant to be together she would have been around when I was her age but that's not the case. I gonna let her go so she can be somebody, and be with someone who can give her everything she deserves and more. I hope she'll is it that way, someday.

"Dad get out of the bathroom I gotta get ready for school!" Tez yelled banging on the door. I turned off the shower and wrapped a towel around my waist opening the door. "Sorry I do my best thinking in the shower." I smiled letting him in the bathroom to which he slammed the door in my face. Oh I forgot to mention, he hates my guts right now. Now your probably wondering, 'what did Oscar do to make Tez hate him so much? Well let me just rewind a little bit here.

A few months ago

"Dad do you think Mione will be with us forever?" Tez asked

Present day

That question was a trap. I should have seen it coming. As soon as I told him I couldn't make that decision Tez has been secretly pissed at me. Watching and waiting for the perfect moment to pounce on me. Which just so happens to be a few weeks from graduation. That boy has been emotionally abusive for about a week now. I mean I get it but damn, I guess it's a Díaz thing. Mione said I was emotional all the time but I hope I wasn't that bad. I pushed my thoughts aside to get really for the day. Once I had my fit on I walked into the living room to see Mione leaning on the kitchen door frame.

Mione

I felt so cute today. I had on the outfit that Oscar bought me for my birthday. The jelly bands were a little tight and the hoops hurt my ears but I loved them nonetheless. I was standing in the kitchen waiting for Tez when I felt eyes on me. Looking up from my phone my eyes were met with big beautiful brown ones and the smile on my lips grew. "Whatchu think Mr. Cholo?" I asked doing a little spin. He bit his lower lip causing me to blush. "Damn mamas you sexy as fuck!" Oscar smirked at me. "Oh shut up. You just sayin that cause I look like a real chola now." I laughed as he rolled his eyes walking up to me. I brought his lips down to mine in a sweet slow kiss. A few seconds later there was a throat that cleared causing us to pull apart. I looked up at Oscar and burst into a fit of laughter. "What?" He asked looking at me with furrowed brows. "You've got red and black lipstick all over your mouth. Now I gotta fix mine, I'll be right back." I huffed going into the bathroom passing Tez on the way. Once I redid my lips in red I made sure to do a black outline and was ready to go.

We all got in the car and we're off to school. Tez kept flicking Oscar in the back of the head making me giggle. "Cortez if you don't stop I swear to god I'm gonna kick your ass!" Oscar yelled slamming on the brakes at a stop sign. I seen Tez slowly reach up from the back seat and flick him again. "THAT'S IT YOU LITTLE SHIT! I'M COMING BACK THERE! Mione drive!" Oscar yelled climbing over the seat into the back with Tez. I jumped into the drivers seat and kept driving. I could hear loud huffing and a seat squeaking then all of a sudden I heard gagging. Pulling to a stop in the school parking lot I looked behind me and Oscar had Tez in a headlock but Tez wasn't tapping he was straight up gagging. "OSCAR CORTEZ DÍAZ IF YOU DON'T LET THAT BOY GO RIGHT NOW I'MA DRAG YOUR ASS OUTTA THIS CAR!" I yelled making him let go of Tez.

Tez and I are now at lunch and he's still mad for some odd reason. "Can I ask you something?" He huffed looking up at me as I nodded. "Do you really love him?" He asked. "Of course I do. Why are you asking?" I questioned with furrowed brows. "I was just thinking. You got into Caltech and I don't want you to throw that away on him. But at the same time I can't make the decision for you either." I huffed not in an irritated way, more like upset. "That's what I've been thinking about Tez. I love Oscar but I don't know what to do. I don't want to loose him but I don't know if I want to go to Cal either. It's a difficult decision to make."
