When I was 10 I met this cool kid named Dilan Rodrigez. We became friends when he stole some of my fries at lunch and I punched him in the gut. We've been friends for a year and then he vanished as if he didn't even exist. It turns out he moved to D...
"Ring ring ring"I pick up my phone and answer the random number knowing I might just get murdered but hey life's short why not make it exciting?
"Dilan Rodrigez?" my dad's secretary said. Oh yeah, my dad owns one of the biggest clothing lines in the world. We moved here when I was younger because my dad had just got an offer that would officially help him promote his business. He usually is at work most of the time so I barely get to see him. Basically, I raised myself and when he was around I would make breakfast for him and make his bed and all that shit yet he's my dad and I still love him.
I say, " Yes, what is it?"
"Mr. Rodrigez wants to meet you in his office." and with that, she hung up. This is weird because he only calls me to his office when it's something important hopefully my grades didn't drop. Cause let. me. tell. you. all my grades are at Cs and I can't play football and basketball if they drop. So anyways I get off the couch and get in my car to go to the office. I have multiple cars and one motorcycle. But to be honest I only use about one or two of my cars and a motorcycle. I'm not really a motorcycle fan so I only have a black one. When I get to the office right off the bat my dad says," Son I need you to know this was a difficult decision but-,"
"Dad your already scaring me and I haven't even sat down yet." There was an uncomfortable silence for a while and then out of nowhere he said," We're moving back to Miami, Florida" NO No no this can't be happening. Not after what happened NO. I am pissed. How could he not tell me in advance? He could've at least given me a heads up but noooo. Shit. I don't want to go back to where my childhood was left behind. Where I left Jalia. Where I didn't even say a proper goodbye. Shit, I forgot all about her. My best friend. Jalia. My thoughts are cut off by yelling.
"SON, SON, SON"
"WHAT? WHAT DO YOU WANT? YOU already RUINED my LIFE what do YOU WANT NOW?" He seems taken aback by my answer and just sits there shocked like a frozen bitch. I look around his office trying to avoid eye contact with my dad and I realize the place is trashed. What kind of psycho trashes their workplace? But then I notice the look on his face and I realized I trashed his place. Damn I geuss I'm the sphycho. Oh well. I guess I got so mad I started destroying his things and all he was trying to do was get my attention. I almost feel sorry.
Then he said," Son I know you're mad but it was bound to happen. Since my business has skyrocketed someone in Miami who is very important all around offered to promote me."
"I DON'T CARE" Cause I really don't. All I could think about was Jalia. She consumed my thoughts. With that I flipped him off and started driving to my secret spot I go to when I just need to think.

Text convo
Jalia: Where are you
Jalia: Are you okay
Jalia: answer me
DIlan: I'm Moving
Blocked Jalia
I want to hate my father but I can't. There is no one to hate anymore since he made me feel so much pain that I simply can't feel anymore. He took my sunshine, mi amor. I want him to be punished not by me but by fate. So he can see what he did was wrong without me having to show him that. Now we're going back. I Should be happy but I am not. For I know when I get there Jalia would hate me more than anything in the world. I choose to sleep here tonight relishing the peace. Because I know when I get to Miami there is no more peace. There is no more relishing happiness but mourning in sadness. It is a time of despair for me. I have to face my fears and face Jalia's anger. Oh how I miss her, my joy and sanity. My Jalia.
