I woke up in Camilo's bed, his arms wrapping around me. It took me a second to realize I had fallen asleep last night in his room. He must have layed me down in his bed. I smiled and pushed his curls out of his face. Last night was very fun. Wait, last night. Then it hit me. The party! I wasn't there to clean up! They probably noticed I was gone!

"Camilo. Camilo, wake up."

I shook him lightly as he started to wake up.

"Hm? What is it, princesa?"

"It's morning!"

"And?"

"My parent's party. I was supposed to clean up! They probably noticed I was gone!"

He jumped out of bed at the realization and got ready quickly. I did the same and we rushed out of casita, running towards my house. Once we got to my house I hoped in the window and gave Camilo a quick kiss to say bye. I sighed trying to control my breathing from running so fast. I really hoped they didn't notice.

"Where were you last night?"

I jumped but was relieved to just see Berto sitting at my desk.

"Uh, I was over at the Madrigal's."

"With the boy?"

Right. I forgot to tell him I started dating Camilo.

"Yeah? He's kinda my boyfriend."

Berto sighed and shook his head.

"You got lucky, sis. I told papa you went to sleep early and offered to clean up myself."

I started to feel frustrated, both with guilt and the fact that he still calls that man 'papa'.

"Why do you still call him 'papa'? Ever since mama died he's been treating us like nothing but trash!"

"Don't say that."

"Why? It's true isn't it?"

"Enough!"

He sighed and walked towards the door.

"I gotta cover a friend's shift at work. Make sure you eat breakfast, ok?"

"Yeah, I will."

I sighed and sat on my bed. After a bit I decided to open the bag Berto had left me and eat. There was no point starving myself.

"What happened to your mom?"
