I was waiting for Rachel to pull her car around to the back of the school, when Bryan came up next to me.

"Hey, Ava.", he smiled at me and pulled a headphone out of his ear. "You need a ride again?"

"Oh, no. I'm waiting for Rachel to come get me.", I told him.

"Why don't you just drive yourself? If you don't mind me asking?"

"My boyfriend wants to make sure I actually get to school, so I don't drive my own car..."

"Boyfriend?" He raised an eyebrow.

I forgot he didn't know. "Oh, yeah. I must've never told you about him."

"Oh...well, it seems like he's just looking out for you.", he said. "Does he go here?"

"Nah..."

"Oh." He looked down at his phone for a minute. "Well, I should get going now. See you on Monday." He gave me a wave and set off to his car.

That was awkward, I thought as he walked away.

Just then, Rachel pulled up to the curb. "Someone is hitting it off with Bryan, I see?", she said as I got into the car.

"No. He just happened to be leaving while I was waiting for you and we made some conversation.", I said.

"Whatever. I was just hoping you two could double date with me and Ethan someday."

"There isn't gonna be any double date unless it's with Geoffrey. And what do you mean with you and Ethan?"

Rachel blushed a little and smiled as she started the car. "He, uh, asked me out today."

"Mhmm. Forever alone, my ass."

"Ah, shut up.", said Rachel as we pulled out of the parking lot.

I came home to find Geoffrey wasn't home once again. He hadn't really been home at all this week but I understood because he was super busy being a famous bachatero and whatnot. I did my homework, ate and all that other good stuff, but i was feeling kind of lonely, so I decided to call Rachel.

"See? He's like never home. Is this the type of life you want to live?", she said when she found out Geoffrey wasn't home.

-.- "Rachel, he's famous. Stuff like that is gonna happen."

"Do you even know where he is?"

"No, but-"

"But for all you know he could be cheating."

" I don't know, so I just have to trust him."

"Alright. I told you, though..."

After a while I decided to end the call and go to bed. All this drama was getting me worked up. Why was she so against me and Geoffrey dating all of a sudden? He's too committed, he not like that...

I thought back to that day in the summer when I was worried about Geoffrey and I was listening to the song "Hush" by JR. One of the lines stuck in my head. "We'll stay committed just as long as we can cheat..."

. I was so uneasy now. I mean, what if something WAS going on with Geoffrey? I shook my head. No, Ava, don't let it get to you.

But even as I tried to go to sleep I still couldn't shake those thoughts from my head.

I quietly shut the door behind me.

"Ava?" I called out softly. But no reply. I was home late again and I figured she would've been asleep by now. I just hoped she wouldn't be mad that I forgot to tell her I'd be gone for so long.

After I got all settled I went to go check on her. My prediction was right, she was sleeping.

I smiled faintly at the thought of how angelic she looked. "Mi angelito...", I said aloud as I sat down on her bedside.

She sleepily opened an eye. Okay so maybe she wasn't sleeping. "Geoffrey?"

"Yes?"

She smiled and turned to face me. "You're home."

"I know. Finally."

Her smile faltered for a minute, like she was thinking of something. "Where exactly were you?"

"I was out doing some promotional stuff. Just business. Why?"

"I don't know...I was just wondering."

I could see where this was going. "Ava, there's no one else in the picture if that's what you're thinking."

"How did you..?"

I sighed and brushed a strand of hair from her face. "It's just natural to think that way. I would have been the same way."

She seemed immediately relived but she was still a little tense, like she didn't believe me fully. "Okay..."

"Now that that's all settled, do you think you'll be able to sleep peacefully now?"

She nodded. "I think so."

"Good." I kissed her on the forehead. "Sweet dreams. Te Amo."

"Te amo...", she trailed off as she drifted back to sleep.

I sat there for a few more minutes before I went to bed myself, just to ensure that she was at rest. I didn't want to disturb her again.

"Un angelito que no pude ver..." I sang as I left the room.
