Angelina arrived home, she had fallen asleep on the couch. She was startled out of her sleep when there was a knock on the door. She looked at her phone and it was 2:30 in the morning. She got up and looked through the peep hole.

She opened the door, it was Oscar. "What are you doing here?" She asked as he closed the door

"You wanted me here" he replied sitting on the couch

"No it's fine. You made your decision to stay with the Santos" she mentioned sitting beside him

"They went home, so I came here" Oscar grunted

Angelina sighed "I don't think you understand, put me first. That's all I'm asking"

"I can't do that. You know this so stop asking" he yelled

Angelina got up off the couch and stood in front of him "you can't or you won't" she questioned

"I can't" he said

Angelina turned around but he grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him. She straddled his lap, his hand placed on her waist "I want to but I can't. I am in charge of the Santos. I need to make sure they are okay. They are family" he explained

"They are my family too. Well Sad Eyes and Miguel but-" she began

"And India, Monica, Geny, Ruby, and Cesar. You would put Cesar before me" Oscar chuckled

Angelina smiled "well Sad Eyes and Miguel is last on my list. I don't care about it anymore but I now understand. Now another question. What are we?" She asked, placing her hand on his chest

"We together, I'm going to be there for you if you need me. You are there for me when I need you. It's always been like that. You overthink things " Oscar explained, running his hand on her hip

"I overthink things because I don't trust you. I don't know where your heart lies and it's scary" Angelina doubted

"It's different this time around and I'm trying to prove it. Let me prove it" Oscar promised

They sat there for a moment, staring in each others eyes. Angelina looked at his lips and he smiled. She gently placed her hands on his face and leaned in for a kiss.

Their lips collided and it felt like fireworks were flying in the sky. They began to make out. The heat started to rise, Oscar picked her up and led her to her bedroom. Clothes were being stripped off and one thing led to another.

Angelina woke up the next morning. Her bed was empty besides her but she was naked. She sat up and the room began to spin. She was hungover. Her clothes were piled in the laundry basket. She grabbed her towel and showered.

She looked at her phone and she had a text for Oscar explaining that he had some things to handle. A knock was heard from the bathroom door and India walked in.

"Good morning" she greeted

"Hey, how was the trip to New York?" Angelina asked, scrubbing her hair

"It was fun, it was nice seeing my sister again. Left right before everything gets hectic at the airport" India replied sitting on the kitchen sink "how was your new years?" She asked

"Spent apart of it with Geny and then spent some with Oscar" she explained

"You're finally talking to him. Thank god" India cheered "I was tired seeing you moping around"

Angelina smiled "we came to a sort of understanding and I genuinely think he is trying. We also had sex last night" Angelina mentioned turning off the shower

When she opened the shower curtain, India was shook. She didn't expect the conversation to turn in that direction. Angelina covered herself in her towel. They walked together to her room.

Angelina began to dress while India sat on her bed. India took a glance at the trash can and noticed an issue.

"Angie, we... well you have an issue" India informed

Angelina turned towards her "what happened?" She asked

"Do you remember if you used a condom?" India questioned

Angelina walked over and opened her bedside table. It was an unopened box of condoms sitting there. "I guess I didn't. How dumb can I be" Angelina whined, face planting herself on her bed

"It's fine, let's go to the store. I need to buy some snacks anyways" India comfort her

——

India and Angelina had returned from the store. Angelina was cooking in the kitchen meanwhile India was eating her chips at the dining table.

"When does Monica come back from Phoenix?" Angelina asked, seasoning the chicken

"She's supposed to arrive tomorrow morning. That's why she isn't going to school" India replied

"I swear she told me it was supposed to be tonight" Angelina mentioned

"Now that I think about it. It was supposed to be tonight. I don't know why she texted me that she is coming tomorrow" India answered, crumbling the bag of chips

"Maybe her flight delayed. Check her location"Angelina suggested, washing her hand

"Her location is always off. It's a rare occasion when her location is on" India mentioned, chucking

Angelina and India found if weird that she didn't let them know the flight delayed. Monica has been acting weird for months.

"Do you think she's dating someone?" Angelina asked, putting the meat on the pan

"What makes you think that" India said walking to the kitchen

"When she had that boyfriend when we were freshman. We never met him but that's why she's wasn't there a lot. Maybe she's with someone again and hasn't told us" Angelina explained

"Maybe, that make sense. She doesn't have to lie to us. We should talk to her" India mentioned

——

Angelina had fought another girl. She knows she acting like a dumbass but she this time it was bad. She caught Oscar cheating on her in the living room after they had huge argument.

The girl turned out bad. She had 2 black eyes, her cheek was cut open and had a busted lip. Angelina left with her hand cut open and she was in the emergency room because she fractured her left hand.

Geny and India was sitting in the hospital room with her. They were calling Monica but she wasn't answering her phone.

"I actually done. I'm over it. I know I say it every time but I'm done. This is too much like I'm putting myself in the hospital over this man" Angelina confessed

"But you live with him?" Geny mentioned, playing with her hair

"I'll just sleep in Cesar room until I figure out my living situation but I can't be in a relationship with him. This isn't a relationship anymore. It's just straight up playing with each other feelings" Angelina explained

"Do what you need to do. We are there for you. We love you and you deserve better" India expressed hugging her

Angelina meant it. She was absolutely done with Oscar. She knew she looked stupid taking him back every time and all she knew what his mom told her was right. It's hard to love him and if you tried, you'll end up being hurt.
