My Best Friend || Joel Pimentel

Chapter 2

Joel said that he wants my mom and I to join his family for dinner because he has some news to give us. I wonder what it is. Currently I'm just watching The Ellen Show.

It's almost dinner time so I decided to get ready. Ugh but my pajamas are so comfortable. Whatever after dinner I'll just go back to them. Anyways I put on some light color jeans and a simple black shirt. Its a crop top but i got it in Large so it'll cover my belly. Anyways once I'm done I put on my black converse and head to my bathroom to do my hair. I did a half pony and then braided it and turned it to a bun. I headed out to meet my mom in the kitchen.

"Lista?" She asked. I nod and head to the door. She locked the house and we went to his house.

My mom knocked on their door and Mrs. Pimentel open it.

"Maggie! Como estas?" She asked while they hugged.

"Bien bien. Y tu te ves mas flaca eh." My mother said.

Oh how I love just awkwardly standing here.

"Really? I feel the same."

"But you look different."

"Hello Zandra."

"Hey."

"Come inside the food is almost ready." Finally.

We went inside and went to the dinning room. I went to kitchen to find Joel's grandma in the kitchen.

"Hola abuelita." I call her my grandma because I don't have one and she's is like my grandma. She treats me like her granddaughter and loves me like her granddaughter.

"Hola mija. Aye que grandota ya estas." She said as we cheek kiss, (you know what i mean by that right?)

"Aha diversas?"

"Si, aye que comer ya." She said as she lightly pushed me

I sat next to Joel's father and Joel. We started eating. Before we finished, Joel started to speak.

"Okay pues la razón que estamos aquí hoy is porque tengo un notica." He said. Then there was a short pause.

"Que es?" I said looking at him. Wait I just notice there's cameras here. Um what's going on?

"Abuela tengo a cantar un canción en la audición de La Banda y decidir que voy a cantar la canción sen ovejas en honor de mi abuelo y usted también."

"Aye que lindo que hermoso." We all clap and they hugged.

So he's auditioning for La Banda? So that means he's going to Miami? So that means he's leaving me until he comes back? Oh.

We continued eating but I finished early, with my plate half full.

"Mamí puedo ayer a la casa por que mi estómago me duele." I lied. I just want to go home.

"Si Mija. Toma los llaves." She grave me the keys.

"Compromiso." I grab my plate, put it in the kitchen. Before I headed out Joel came.

"Here let me take you home," he said.

"But-"

"I insist." I sighed knowing he's not going to leave me a lone. "So are you happy?"

I turned to look at him and give him a fake smile, "Yea." I turned back around and head to my front door.

But he grabbed my wrist and made him look at him again. "Are you mad?"

I gave him a serious look and answer him "Yes." I turned back around and ran to my door.

"Zandra!" He yelled. Luckily I open the door on time and went in.

"You know what fine I know by the time I audition a hundred girls will support me."

"Make that 99 because you just lost one!" Shit I didn't really meant that. I ran to the living room & looked out the window. He sighed and turned around and walked away. "Joel!" What am I doing. I ran to the door & jumped into his arms.

"Im sorry, I'm your best friend. I should be supporting you, not getting mad at you for following your dreams." I sobbed on his shoulder.

"Sh, its okay Zandra. Lets go inside and eat ice cream and watch Netflix." He kissed the top of my head and carried me inside. Wow he must be very strong.

Anyways we watch American Horror Story while eating chocolate ice cream. We finish the whole bucket that my mom just bought today. Oops. It was around 10 o'clock and I'm starting to get sleepy.

"Tired zandy?" He asked. I nodded my head.

"Okay let me sing you then. What would you like?"

"Surprised me."

" Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me
But bear this in mind, it was meant to be
And I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks
And it all makes sense to me...

I know you've never loved the crinkles by your eyes when you smile
You've never loved your stomach or your thighs, the dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine
But I'll love them endlessly

I won't let these little things
Slip out of my mouth
But if I do
It's you
Oh it's you
They add up to
I'm in love with you
And all these little things

You can't go to bed without a cup of tea
And maybe that's the reason that you talk in your sleep
And all those conversations are the secrets that I keep
Though it makes no sense to me

I know you've never loved the sound of your voice on tape
You never want to know how much you weigh, you still have to squeeze into your jeans
But you're perfect to me

I won't let these little things
Slip out of my mouth
But if it's true
It's you
It's you
They add up to
I'm in love with you
And all these little things

You'll never love yourself half as much as I love you
And you'll never treat yourself right darlin' but I want you to
If I let you know I'm here for you
Maybe you'll love yourself like I love you, oh

I've just let these little things
Slip out of my mouth
'Cause it's you
Oh it's you
It's you they add up to
And I'm in love with you
And all these little things

I won't let these little things
Slip out of my mouth
But if it's true
It's you
It's you
They add up to
I'm in love with you
And all your little things" from there I was dead asleep.
