FORTY NINE. ( I've got you, brother. )
"Told you I should've come with."
Robby huffed as she parked in front of his and Miguel's apartment building. "I know. But, I don't know if he would've talked to me if you were there."
"Hey, you wanted me to go. Don't say I didn't warn you," she gave him a pointed look before turning to the backseat. "Mig, say hi to your mom for me."
"I do every time," the boy rolled his eyes in amusement. "Also, she wanted me to ask if you were free to go shopping with her this weekend. I guess I'm not cutting it for her anymore."
Emmy giggled. "I am always free for a shopping trip with Mama Diaz. Do you guys need a ride to school tomorrow?"
"Uh, no. My dad said that he could take us," Robby smiled at her. "But, I'll call you later."
"Okay," she quickly leaned in for a kiss. "Love you."
"Love you too," he said back before climbing out of the car, Miguel quickly following after him.
Emmy looked through her rearview mirror to make sure that the two stepped into the apartment before driving off.

As Emmy rang the doorbell to the all too familiar house, she felt a little anxious about what their response to her would be. While they preferred her to her friends, things might be a little bit bitter after what happened today.
She held her breath as the door swung open, coming face to face with Shawn. "Hey."
"Hey," he responded, a little bit surprised to see her. "What are you doing here?"
"Uh, Robby told me what happened and I thought I'd swing by. Plus, sorry for leaving you guys without a ride," she sheepishly said.
"Don't sweat it," he waved her off. "Our mom got off of work early so she picked us up."
