In this together- Pablo Gavi

8

It was finally Thursday and I tried to start my car and it didn't work. I picked my phone and I called Gavi.

"Hi, I am so sorry to bother, are you doing something now?"

"Hi, you never bother me. No, I am not, what's up?"

"My car isn't working and I am supposed to take my dad home, would you be able to pick me up?"

"Of course. I will be there in a minute."

"Thank you so much Gavi."

After a few minutes he got here.

"Hey" he got out of the car and hugged me.

"Hi" he opened the door for me. "Thank you." I said as he was getting into the car.

"You're welcome."

When we got there, he opened the door for me again and we went in. We went to dad's room.

"Hi dad" as he saw me with Gavi, he smiled.

"Hi sweetie, who's this?"

"Dad, this is Pablo Martín Páez Gavira, Pablo this is my dad Mateo Rodríguez."

"Nice to meet you Mr. Rodríguez" Gavi said and smiled.

"Nice to meet you too Pablo."

Gavi took my dad's things and we went to his car. We arrived at our house and Gavi opened the door for me and then for my dad. Gavi grabbed the bag and placed it on the bed.

"Do you want to stay here for a while?" My dad asked Gavi.

"I should probably go, I have training soon."

I went with Gavi outside. "Thank you so much for everything. I don't know what I would do without you."

"It's my pleasure, it's okay" I had tears in my eyes, just for no reason, he saw that and he hugged me. "Hey Ams, it's okay."

"I am sorry" I apologised and I whipped my tears off.

"Don't apologise I know, it's too much on you, it's okay" he smiled at me, we started into each others eyes and at that moment we both realised that we like each other. "If you want I can take you to the school tomorrow" he offered me.

"Okay, if you don't mind."

"If I did, I wouldn't offer you this."

"Thank you Gavi" I smiled at him and hugged him again.

"See you tomorrow then."

"See you."

After a while someone rang on the door bell. I opened the door and it was Marco, I was in shock.

"Hi" I said. "What's going on? How do you know where I live?" I was in complete shock.

"Hi. My mom knows where you live. My mom bought your dad pills. He saved my sister's life so this is nothing compared to your dad. He did the best work."

"Wanna come in?"

"Yes, sure."

We got inside and Marco said hi to my dad.  We went to my room and we talked a lot. He also brought me notes from school and chocolate.

"Why are you doing this for me Marco? I appreciate it, but it's too much. I don't know how to give it back to you."

"Hey Ams, you don't have to give me back anything. You're like sister to me. I care about you. Plus this is the last thing I could do for you. You work really hard and you deserve some chocolate award."

"I will just go check on my dad. I will be back soon" I said and I checked on dad, he was just watching TV.

"How's he?" Marco asked and I went to sit next to him.

"He's okay, he's watching TV."

"Marco?"

"Mhm?"

"Promise me that you will not tell it anyone?"

"Of course I won't."

"Thank you."

We talked and  laughed together. After some time Marco left and I went on bike to my work.

"Where's your car?" José asked.

"It doesn't work and I don't have money to repair it or something."

"Oh, that's bad."

"So tomorrow I could be here later."

"It's okay, take your time."

"Thank you for understanding me."

"How's your dad ?"

"He's fine, he's home now."

"I am glad to hear that."

Before José left he gave me a food for me and my dad. After my shift I cleaned the tables and I went home.
