Chapter Five: Fireworks
~~~
A few days later…
It was raining like hell outside. Leo sat in his room, he hadn't gone to school since last friday, it was now tuesday, he had been working in the shop for long hours every day until night at closing. He had bags under his eyes, he was exhausted. He heard a knock at the door, he wouldn't budge, he was too tired. His mom had answered the door.
"DJ?" Ms. Valdez asked.
"Hi Ms. Valdez." DJ said meekly.
"Get inside this house right now! Are you loco? You'll catch a cold out there dressed like that!" Mrs. Valdez said pulling DJ inside the door.
"Sorry, Ms. Valdez, is Leo in, we have to talk." DJ said, looking at Mrs. Valdez, who looked very similar to Leo, soft skin, beautiful lips, absolutely no facial blemishes, perfect coco colored skin, like a light hot chocolate.
"You two had a fight, didn't you? Leo's up in his room, last time I checked, he's been feeling pretty down about something, so I guess that's it." Ms. Valdez inquired correctly.
"Yes, it's my fault, i'm a complete screw up and I really don't deserve a friend like Leo." DJ said, sullen with his face towards the ground.
"Mijo, do not talk about yourself like that, you are he are best friends, friends fight? You hear me?" She said, lifting Dj's face form the ground, her voice Commanding DJ's full attention. 'Yeah, but best friends don't kiss each other.' DJ thought, keeping it to himself.
"Yes, ma'am," The taller black haired boy nodded and he followed behind her as they climbed up the stairs to Leo's room. Ms. Valdez was amazing, raising a family the way she did, single, with no help from anyone.
"Leo, bebé, DJ aquí, él quiere hablar?" She called as soon as the door was open, DJ took two years of spanish, and recognized some of it. "Leo?" She called again.
"Diga ese carbron ir a casa. No quiero hablar con ese pendejo." Leo's said from behind his door.
"What did he say?" DJ asked looking at the woman, she was getting angry, she slapped on the door.
"Watch your language!" Ms. Valdez yelled. "Get your ass out here right now, Leo, I want to know what's going on, and bring him a towel, he's freezing!" She said to the door. She turned to DJ, "Take off your shirt, honey, I'll find you something dry."
"What! That's okay Ms. Valdez, I'll be fine."
She held her hand out, "Your shirt, DJ, I'm going to put it in the dryer, i'm not letting you get sick… and I've told you a thousand times, you don't have to call me Ms. Valdez?" Leo came out of his room with a towel in hand and his cheeks tinged red seeing DJ standing there in the foyer shirtless.
"Here," He griped and threw the towel at DJ's head.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Esperanza asked.
Leo gave her a sardonic smile, "You really want to know?" He asked her and crossed his arms. "Mom, that moron kissed me." He said.
"…he kissed you, honey that's crazy" The older woman looked between DJ and then back to her son and there was a tinge to DJ's cheek as well. "You… really did?"
