I felt my heart sink deep into the pits of my stomach, "She didn't"? I asked practically heartbroken.

"No. Last time I spoke to her, she had nothing but nice things to say about you. That was like last week." Kirk replied with a frown.

Oh my God! I wanted to cry right then and there. I just exposed Julissas one thing she begged me not to tell anybody.

Here I was thinking that she ruined everything was Kirk, but she didn't do anything.

She didn't do anything to hurt me.

"Oh my God, Kirk you can't tell anyone I told you that. Please. Julissa begged me not to tell anyone." I said freaking out.

"Are you being serious"? Kirk asked.

"Yes Kirk. We can't tell James." I said frowning.

"Listen if James knew something about you, that could particularly endanger one of us then yeah I'd actually appreciate it if he told me." Kirk said shaking his head.

"But she's never endangered any of us." I said squeezing his hand.

He pulled his hand away, "Yeah actually let's talk about that. Endangering people." Kirk said.

"What do you mean"? I asked confused.

"Where the hell did you get 50,000 dollars from"? He asked.

I felt my heart sink, "Oh that." I said softly.

"Yeah that. Dalia this guy came pounding at my hotel door saying that you stole it from him."  Kirk said angrily.

"I didn't steal it! I wasn't even supposed to be involved with all that shit. It's all Dave's fault, he said I owed him a favor." I replied.

"Why the hell did you owe him a favor"? He asked.

"Because he helped me out with the Mendoza family." I said stressed out.

This wasn't supposed to go down like this.

"What do you mean? Help you out"? He asked.

"He helped me set up a meeting with them." I said holding my head. "That's where I saw Julissa and figured out that she was their daughter."

"Daughter? She's their fucking kid?! Are you serious Dalia?! Why the hell would you involve yourself with them"?! He shouted.

"I needed help okay. You left and my dad had threatened to hurt me." I said my eyes tearing up.

"Why didn't you just tell me this"? Kirk asked bringing down his tone.

"Because it's pathetic! It makes me look like I'm weak and that I can't protect myself Kirk"! I said looking out the window upset.

"Dalia. That doesn't make you weak. Okay. But there was so many other ways to work around that whole situation. You didn't need to involve that family." Kirk said his voice completely calm now.

"I know. I regret it all. I didn't know that guy was gonna come looking for you. I'm really sorry. Julissa said she would work that situation out. She's the one who shot the guy who threatened me." I replied.

"If she's been helping you out then why have you guys been fighting"? Kirk asked confused.

"It's complicated Kirk." I said leaning against the seat.

"I could kill Dave for getting you involved in all of that." Kirk sighed.

I faced him, "I'm so sorry Kirk. I love you so much."

His hand met mine, "It's fine Dalia. I just need you to be honest with me."

I nodded "I will I promise."
