Iliana silently sat curled up on the couch under a blanket in her hoody and shorts as only the tv lightly played in the darkness of the living room of the Diaz house that she was living in while her ear was pressed against her phone listening to the call happening

''So what exactly was the context when Cesar said he hit it with Monse?''jamal asked hiding the fact Monse was also in the call from ruby

''He didnt say he hit it. He said smashed, really hard. But who cares about context?''ruby responded confused

''I care!''monse basically shouted into the phone making Iliana flinch as she leant forward to grab the pills in the orange bottle on the table

''Dude you can't keep one secret''ruby whisper yelled annoyed

''She was blackmailing me/him''jamal and Iliana defended whisper yelling back

''I can't do this right now''ruby whispered annoyed

''Why are you all whispering?''monse asked confused ''where are you?''

''Hell''ruby responded despair and irritation clear in his voice''look im dealing with some jacked up, cracked up B.S. at home, and i got to work it out before school starts. So this Cesar stitch it just ain't top priority.''

''Can we just meet tommorow?''monse asked hopefully as Iliana moved her blanked off her and winced from the coldness of the ground as she made her way to the kitchen

''Can't got one last shift at my dads joint before summers over''Jamal responded making Iliana also speak

''I can't either im visiting my dad''she whispered as she pulled out a glass and filled it with water

''Dudes there's no way im facing the inquististion all by myself''ruby whispered

''Geez can't we just meet up at the joint at 5:00 and chop it up?''monse asked signing in annoyance

''I dont know if ill make it sorry, look i gotta go so ill talk to you guys later''she whispered before hanging up as she sat back down onto the couch

''What are you up for?''spooky qeustioned leaning against the doorframe making Iliana yelp and look up panicked

''Fuck''she muttered rolling her eyes in annoyance before releasing a breath to calm down her pounding heart

''Sorry''he apologized amused before rubbing his hands down his face and looking towards the clock''why are you awake at 2 in the morning?''

''I'm about to sleep''she responded exshausted as she popped two pills into her hand before throwing them into her mouth and drowning them down with water''why are you?''she asked as she got up to go to bed

''Heard you walking around''he responded eyeing her''what were those?''

''Nothing''she muttered as she grabbed her glass of water and walked past him only for him to follow after

''are you doing drugs?''he contiued to qeustion worried for her health making her scoff

''No its not drugs...''she trailed off ''okay sort of is but its not bad for me''she reworded as she entered her bedroom

'What is it Iliana? Just tell me''he demanded grabbing her wrist and pulling her into his chest making her swallow down her nerves as she looked up into his hazel eyes with a glare to hide the pounding of her heart

''Don't act like you care spooky''she responded coldly making his eyes harden as he glared down at her with those beautifull hazel eyes

''dont call me that, my name is oscar''he demanded harshly almost hurt as he looked down at the girl who made his insides burn

''everyone calls you spooky so i will to''she responded annoyed with a roll off her eyes as she yanked her wrist out of his hand

''its Oscar for you''he softly spoke all his anger leaving as only irritation and care stayed ''just tell me what it is''

Iliana hesitated for a moment as her eyes flickered between both of his hoping to see something that even she did not know''it's so i can sleep''she admitted softly as she stepped back and wrapped her arms around herself carefull to not spil the water in her glass

Spooky only hummed softly before he nodded''goodnight iliana''he softly spoke as he walked away

''Goodnight oscar''she whispered closing the door missing the smile on Oscar's face as he heard her say his name, he could only hope to hear her say it again

.......
''Hey dad''she whispered softly as she kneeled by her fathers grave for the first time in two weeks''Im sorry for not coming by sooner...i would have but everything has been so busy.....Monse is back from writing camp she showed me some of her writing it was insanely good''she whispered with a chuckle as a tear fell down her cheek

''Ruby got his own room but his abulita took it over...and Jamal he's lying to his father about playing football but he has the right reasons......Cesar and i joined the gang...we got jumped in a little while ago...I thought i would feel closer to you if i did...but I've never felt further apart from you then right now...I think of getting a tattoo to have something resemble you but i dont know what yet.....''she softly ranted as she leant against his headstone and toyed with her necklace she had been left by her dad

''mama hasn't come back yet''she muttered softly ''i dont think she is planning to do so either....i thinks beter tho....spooky allowed me to stay at his place because of his respect for you...but i think he's starting to grow on me......i hope you will watch over me dad i really think ill need it this year''she softly contiued to rant as her free Hand toyed with the grass next to her before she reached into her bag and pulled out a bottle of whiskey

''I got your favorite''she mused as she opened the bottle''I know you would probrally scold me but i hope you wont get to mad if i share it with you''she mused softly as she spilled a little bit of alcohol onto the soil of her fathers grave before taking a gulp of the bottle herself

''Cheers dad''
