My sister's friend's brother

chapter 2 carlos pov

i watched as Coi walk into her small baby blue house and boy, the stories it could tell, when we first meet our sisters where 6 and i was forced to join her stupid play date even though they lived a block or two down from us, because "i'm the oldest'' because "it's my job to make sure she's ok" but then i was introduced to Coi i thought she was pretty with her big brown eyes and with her hair vibrant with colorful beads but then she said i look stupid and she instantly looked ugly to me. Even though I couldn't stand her, our sisters were inseparable so that meant more and more of wasting my time with her but then, when our sisters were about 10 everything stopped.

all i hear is my sister slamming the front door "yo what going on you lucky mami and papi arent home" all she did is look at me with hurt and anger no words she slowly got up words testing to leave her lips but she just closed it.

"ayy you want to talk about what's making you slam doors" it was silent i just sat at her door waiting it felt like an eternity just sitting and waiting my mind raced on what the issue might be a failing class some random dude a dick head of a teacher then i realized what day it was.

"hey isn't friday wheres bonnie" and like magic the door swung open as she started to ugly cry sniffly and all as if she went through a heartbreak i just held her for a moment it took her a minute to collect herself but just then our door knocked and we both went to see who it was as soon as i opened the door it was coi holding bonnie by the arm like a misbehaved child

"Now say to her what you said to me" i tried to interject but coi shot me, don't even look.

"NOW!" As soon as Bonnie opened her lips the floodgates opened.

"i'm so so so sorry jasmine i didn't mean what i said and me and d
Derick never got together he's a jerk and you could do ALOT better but it hurt when you didn't think someone like Derick couldn't be with me" Bonnie stood there crying as Coi let her go i looked at jazz as she looked at me with tears in her eyes and she to started to break down.

"i'm sorry to bonnie you could totally get someone like derick but not derick cause he is like an actual jerk" they both hugged each other while sobbing and i looked at coi and i was shocked, shocked at how selfless she was and how much she cared for her sister i waddled over to her as our sister shuffled into the house giggling and sniffling i leaned in.

"How did you figure out the problem so fast?" She looked at me like I was silly.

"dude it's friday" she shook her head as she walked back to her house but before truly leaving she turned again.

"see i knew you were stupid and call when she's ready to come home" and just like that she left fixing our sisters relationship just like that i think that was the moment i really started to like her again where i saw who she really was i shook my head as i drove off its in the past now she's going to collage the last thing i want is to drag her down or ruin the family dynamic we got as i got home i see my mom working on her little garden

"Aiy mi hijo did you drop the girls off at school?" she said with her bright smile which i gave back as i hugged her.

"yes ma they were all dropped off safe and soundly" i tried to quickly escape in the house before.

"Hold it, you're just gonna leave your mother here and not help her" I turned to help her but then.

"Ahh my back my back ma ah" i said while leaning and holding the small of my back but nothing she looked at me as if the joke got old 10 minutes ago.

"You think you're funny huh, you're not now come help your mother" I sigh as I helped my mom change the soil of her garden at this rate i really will have back pain from how hard she's working me.

"how was work last night ma" my moms a nurse at a hospital in the neighboring town. She mainly works the night shift so she's usually here throughout the day.

"meh same old same old although i saw one of the charge nurses go in the closet with a surgical resident"

"ma... was it kathy"

"HA you know it was" my mom giggled. I liked seeing her happy. She was so disappointed in me when she found out I was in the streets. It put a true ruff patch in our relationship but after living a clean life we got better and we got comfortable with each other again.

"Oh hijo are your not working saturday are you you know it's the jones's cook out" she looked at me with a side eye knowing i was gonna try to avoid it i couldn't even look at her.

"I don't know ma, if i do it's gonna be late"

"Aiy then you come late, you know that party ain't ending early plus you need to have fun your young my love and all you've done since graduating is work"

"Yeah but but ma i-"

"No you going done" she got up wiping the dirt off her and struts into the house leaving me in a silent agreement.
