Angel~  

I walked into Alex's bedroom and sat down on his bed, Alex took the empty spot next to me. He looked up at me with both concern and curiosity in his eyes. "What do you need to tell me?" He asked, entwining his fingers with mine.

"My dad... he came by today." I began, tears brimmed my eyes but I used all my strength to hold them back. "He, um, he told me that... he thinks it would be best if I go move in with him." I mumbled.

Alex sighed, "You don't want to?" He asked, even though he already knew the answer. I haven't told Alex or anyone about my family's situation. He doesn't know what my father did to our family, he doesn't know how much pain he put my mother through and he doesn't know that he refused to attend his own son's funeral.

"No, but that's not what I wanted to tell you." I sighed. "I'm moving in with my dad but... he lives in Mexico. Michoacán to be exact."

"Oh..." Alex whispered. We sat there, neither of us daring to speak. The silence was killing me and I wanted nothing more for it to be gone. I didn't want to leave Alex. We've only been dating for a month and I've only known him and the guys for two months but I still don't want to leave them. They've become apart of my life, the reason I can smile again is because of those four idiots. Them and my mother are the most important people in my life, how am I supposed to just leave them?

Alex sighed, he collapsed down on the bed before grabbing my hand and forcing me to lie down with him, not that I was complaining. We only have two days left and I want to get as close to him as possible. Lying side by side, I entwined our fingers together and we both stared up at the ceiling. Both of us too caught up in our own thoughts to say anything.

In two days, I'll be moving away from Baltimore and back to my hometown, Sahuayo, in Mexico.  

Away from my friends, away from my boyfriend, away from Oscar and away from my mother. I'm being forced to move into a fucking home with my cunt of a father and his new family. Well, at least I know I wont have to stay there for a long time. Like my mother said, as soon as I turn eighteen, I'm coming back.

"When are you leaving?" Alex asked, his voice barely audible. I could hear the pain in his voice and I hated it. I didn't want to leave him.

"Two days." I answered, letting a single tear fall from my eyes. "But, as soon as I turn eighteen, I'm coming back." I quickly added.

Alex nodded, "When are you turning eighteen?" He asked, turning slightly so he was able to face me.

"Not long, about two months." I replied. Alex sighed, I turned my head slightly and stared into his brown eyes. Leaning in, Alex gently pressed his rough lips against mine. I eagerly returned the kiss and went straight for his hair, tangling my fingers in his brown locks. Alex shifted a bit until he was hovering me. His hands ran down my sides, causing goose bumps to arise on my skin. I could feel my face turning red but I didn't care, I was too lost in the moment to think or worry about anything else.  

My hands trailed down Alex's chest and to the hem of his shirt. I played with the material, silently asking for Alex to remove the clothing. Alex gently moved my hands away and pulled the shirt over his head, tossing the material onto the floor. Alex gave me another passionate kiss before trailing kisses down my jawline and onto my neck and collarbone.

Yes, I was well aware of what was happening and I honestly wasn't sure if I wanted to take things any further. My feelings for Alex are real, there's no doubt about that but I'm leaving him in two days. I don't think having sex with him is the right thing to do. Having sex will only make me more attached and make leaving harder, especially since I'm a virgin and I want my first time to be with someone I love... It's not that I don't love Alex, I think I do but I just want to make sure he feels the same and isn't just some asshole that's using me.

Thankfully, before anything else was able to happen, Alex's mom knocked on his bedroom door. Alex quickly got off of me and pulled on his shirt that he had left on the ground before hurrying over towards the door. All the while, I was fixing my hair and trying to make the blush on my face disappear but to no avail.

"Hey mom." Alex greeted once he opened the door, her was out of breath and his hair was a mess. It was painfully clear that we were doing anything but talking in his bedroom.

His mom looked over at me and smiled, "Well, I just wanted to let you know that your father is going to come home late and I'm going over to the Barakat's house for a while. Please, don't do anything that you'll regret." She said before turning around and starting towards the front door. Her words only made my blush grow, I laid back down on Alex's bed and stared up at the ceiling.

"Should I call the guys over so you can tell them the news?" Alex asked as he laid down next to me. I said nothing but nodded in response. Why is it that when things were looking good; my dad had to come into the picture and ruin everything? I finally had friends, an amazing boyfriend and I was finally got my mother back and out of her depression, why the fuck did my father have to come and rip me away from everything and everyone? Why couldn't he just have stayed in Mexico?

After Alex had called Zack, Rian and Jack and asked them to come over, we decided to pass the time by watching a movie in the living room. Since Alex didn't have a wide range of movie selections, we both settled with just watching 'Alice In Wonderland'. After Alex put the movie on, I sat down in his lap, my back pressed against his chest and watched as the opening credits popped up on the screen.

We weren't halfway through the movie when a loud knocking came from the front door. Alex sighed, I got off his lap and watched as he walked towards the front door. Shortly after, Jack, Rian and Zack appeared in the living room and Alex had reclaimed his spot on the couch next to me.  

"So, what's up?" Jack asked as he got comfortable on the other couch in between Zack and Rian.  

"I have something I need to tell you guys." I sighed, "My dad came by today and told me that he's taking me back to Mexico with him. Since I'm not eighteen yet, I have no say in what to do. I'm only going to be down there until I turn eighteen, which is in two months but... my flght leaves in two days." I finished, sighing again.  

"Wait... you're leaving?" Jack asked, breaking the silence that engulfed us.  

Nodding, I ran my fingers through my hair and sighed. "Only for two months, though. I'll be back soon. I just wanted to let you guys know that we only have two days together before I leave for Mexico."  

Rian sighed, "Only two months right? Well, that isn't so long. At least we know you'll be coming back." He said in attempt to lighten the mood in the room. I said nothing but shrugged in response. Soon, the guys began talking about all the things we could do before I leave. I honestly didn't care where we went or what we did. As long as I would be able to spend at least one of my two days left in Baltimore with them, then everything would be fine. Plus, we can always Skype each other and call each other. Sure, phone calls from America to Mexico are expensive but we'll make it work. We have to.  

Rian's right. It's only two months. I mean, how bad can things actually get? I'll see them again. I just have to spend two months without them.  

Wow, these are going to be the longest two months of my life.

So, I have a couple of questions for you guys.... Okay, the first one being; Do you think Angel and Alex are moving to fast? I kinda forgot how long they've been dating so I just put a month..../.\ If smut did happen, would you guys have thought it was a bit to early? Idk

Also, I might have to put some Spanish in the next couple of chapter cus ya know, people in Mexico speak Spanish .-. I also haven't visited Sahuayo in a lonnnggg time so I don't remember every single thing about it.

I had a ton more questions but.. I forgot them. -_- Oh, and what do you want to see or think will happen next?
